Case 1: Victims at the park

"I am a little banged up from falling out of that tree, but I will be fine for now. I agree that it is time to take out that other creature before it can take anyone else. Let's go. This time we will be a bit more strategic. I will stay closer with my rifle and make sure that I have a clear shot once it has descended from the trees." Seth says, hobbling a little bit as they walk towards the other area of the park. He heads back to the underbrush and retrieves his rifle. "Ajay, perhaps Margaret is the best bait since she can look like unassuming but can still take care of herself in a pinch. Perhaps you stay close by and offer support but stay out of sight and I do the same."

After a few minutes of Seth removing his flak vest and helping Margaret get it on, the group heads over to the trail on the opposite side of the park where Seth saw the movement. For a minute, you find nothing. Eventually, you all spot a camera lying on the ground. It seems damaged but functional. When someone picks it up, the screen shows the most recent picture. The picture shows a hand stretched out, likely the photographer, as if surprised to see a brown blur. the blur seems to be about the size of a large dog, but you can't make out what it is. You are all familiar with what some call the "Supernatural Effect" where technology can't seem to perceive supernatural things, only the naked eye. This is likely a monster, but it's too small to be the kind of spider you fought earlier. Perhaps the big spider had children of its own. The thought might send chills down your spine. Either way, the owner of the camera is nowhere to be found, but the camera seems to have plenty of power so it must have been dropped recently.

Ajay picked up the camera and went through the previous pictures. "This is bad news; is our photographer taken by the monster? This changes our approach, I guess. We need to be careful and find out exactly where it has taken our victim."

He gave the camera to Seth after checking all the pictures and tried to figure out a possible route the photographer or the monster might have taken.

OOC: Rolling investigate a mystery. Damn, that's a fail but atleast I am getting an xp.

While the boys are looking at the camera Megs searches the trees above and the ground around for any other clues.

You all search for the owner of the camera, but it takes half an hour to find any leads, plenty of time for bad things to happen to the victim. You do eventually find what looks to be small holes in the ground with a pair of scrape marks in the dirt between them. It appears there are multiple of these dog sized monsters, and they dragged the victim away.

Following the trail, you find a man in a hoodie most of the way up a tree. There is web over his chest keeping him in place, but not enough to make a cocoon. His face is pale and his breathing seems forced. He needs medical attention fast, which likely means he needs the last antiv
-venom Ajay has or he will die in the next few minutes.

As you see this, you hear sounds in the other trees. When you look up, you see four pairs of eye eyes glowing in the shadows of the branches. Margaret hears through her telepathy, "Mother dead... Man smell like mom... Avenge mom... Kill others..."

Ooc: Okay, so I want to bring this man down and use the antivenom. But, what move will it be? Read a bad situation? Protect someone or Act under pressure. Also, can I use I have read about this sort of thing to roll with sharp in this scenario?

"Good eye. Let's get them down from there fast. Ajay, do you want to get up there or would you like me to do it?" Seth asked, buttoning his shirt back up now that he is without armor.

Ajay cursed under his breath. This was bad, he needed to do something or else the man was as good as dead. He looked around trying to assess the situation in order to plan his move.

OOC: Let's go with read a bad situation. Nice so my 3 questions will be, What's the best way to protect the victim? What's the biggest threat? Are there any dangers we haven't noticed?

Best way to protect the victim is to use something sharp to cut the web and either carry him down or be ready to catch him and immediately give him anti-venom

The 4 spiders seem to be an equal threat. They seem to work in unison as a group, effectively making them like one monster.

You are confident that the threats you see are the only dangers. The biggest danger is that while the spiders are weaker they are dangerous while there are so many.

Ajay took a mental note of everything and then turned to others, "Seth, I can see four spider monsters and thought they are smaller than the big one, I think they are nimble enough to form a swarm and overwhelm us. Meg and you cover me; I will go up, tie him and lower him down."

OOC: Okay now I am using act under pressure. Will my directions help Seth and Meg?

OOC: Ah, I see. Let's say, the rope get's tangled in the web and as Ajay tries to bring him down it tears up in the last moment. Maybe the rope is lost?
