Case 1: Victims at the park

You arrive back where you parked last. You grab all the stuff you had before, and each of you grab a knife if you want it stored in the van (knifes are pretty common, so I'm pretty sure there may be a few spares if you want, a knife does 1 harm with range of hand).

What is your plan of action? If you wish to hunt the monster and find it, someone rolls +Sharp
Success: you find it and it didn't see you coming
Partial success: you find it, but you lose the element of surprise
Miss: it finds you and gets and ambush

Ajay collected his belongings and gave the vial of poison to Seth. "This is going to be the poison for Spider shepherd. We will utilize this to finish the monster but we will have to be careful. I am trying to triangulate the location of it's lair in the forest. We have to be swift and careful for this operation." He looked into his laptop, where he was scanning the satellite view of the forest.

OOC: Okay I am rolling to find it's lair.

Managing to evade detection for the third time, you make your way through the forest. A couple times Ajay stops everyone as he notices carefully placed webbing on the ground or between trees as to be stepped on or through, causing a vibration to the spider Shepard of where intruders can be found.

With Ajay's warnings, you manage to avoid all such traps and eventually make your way to a large tree, the largest in the forest. Atop the tree you see strands of web floating through the air like ghost, as if supernaturally levitating. The top seems to flatten and make plenty of room to stand and move about. You suspect the spider Shepard is up top the tree, unaware of you. Climbing the tree should be no problem. It seems to slope a little, tapering at the top, and thus requiring less athletically skill.

Is there anything you do before climbing up the tree? It will take about 3 minutes to climb up.

Megs sighs. "I really don't like the idea of climbing up that tree. We need to figure out a way to secure ourselves so we don't get thrown off."

Ajay spoke while looking up at the strange lair of the creature, "I agree with you that it is dangerous. But we might miss the element of surprise if we want to bring it down. It will become aware of us. Also, I think this is going to be a good time to apply the poison to our weapons." He turned to Seth, "What do you think we should do? Hide and cause a sound to lure it down?"

"Lets wait to use the poison. If we do it now and climbing takes forever or we drop the weapon we are fucked." She looks up at the tree and tries to figure out the best plan " What about if one of us climbs up. Gets a look at what is going on then jumps back down. Use the rope to stop or slow your fall."

"I think that engaging it on its home turf might make things difficult for us. I am wondering if we use the element of surprise by having me climb up a tree that has a sight line to the shepherd so that I can shoot it and draw its attention. Then I repel down and as it chases me the two of you ambush it. What do we think of that idea?"

Ajay nodded, "I like that idea. Though it will lure it away from us, you will become the target. We have to be fast and quick." He looked around to find a good hiding spot to lay low.

"Lets go for it. " She pulls out her own handgun. She Double-check to make sure it is ready and loaded. "Pick a tree. We will set up next to it. Find one with some bushes for cover..."

OOC: Who is rolling Kick some ass? Seth or Ajay and Meg?

Seth ties himself off with the rope for safety, asking Ajay to belay him as he climbs the tree. Once he reaches a height that lets him put eyes on the creature, he ties off and creates a sniper's nest for himself between the crook of two branches. He sights his rifle on the creature and fires.

Maggy crouches behind a bush nearby the Tree Seth is hanging out in.
Tendrils of shadows appear around her as she watches to see what the spider thing does.
