Radioactive Bacon's original thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1370403-rp-idea-hircines-hunting-grounds/

This is a reboot of Radioactive Bacon's 'Hircines Hunting Grounds' That unfortunatley never took off I will be making a couple of changes but nothing too major so, here we go:

As you awake in a clearing in the forest with a couple of buildings you hear an echoing voice

"Congratulations, you have been chosen to take part in the wild hunt in the glorious land of Lord Hircine. You have a two day headstart to find the exit to this realm, and for all who make it there shall be a prize, around you there is a large armory and supplies store take what you need, You may be asking yourselfs why the Lord Hircine would allow you these boones, well the hunt would be boring if it was unfair now wouldn't it? Men and Mer among you, you may feel cursed to be here but see it as an honour to be hunted by the lord of the hunt, Any beasts of my own wishing to leave it is a shame to loose you but know this you will be shown no mercy, you will be treated as any other of the prey no matter how long you have been part of my pack. Go it alone, go in a group it matters not, prepare yourself for the wild hunt."

So the basic premise of this is we will all start in a clearing, we will be provided with weapons and you will start with armor/clothes and our objective is to reach the exit portal of Hircines realm, any men or mer have been chosen from the mortal plane to take part in the hunt and here is the intresting part you can also be a Lycanthrope who wish to leave Hircines plane of Oblivion and return to the mortal plane you have a choice of being

- Werewolf

- Werebear

- Wereboar

If a were creature upon leaving the hunting grounds you Lycanthrpy will not be cured but you may return to the mortal plane with any men or mer but upon death in the mortal plane you will be called back to the hunting grounds you are just being given a second chance in the mortal plane.

We will have a two day head start to reach the portal after that hircine will be hunting us down but there will be conflict before the hunt starts after all in the hunting grounds there will be other were creatures, various daedra ect.

So its simple enough but i think could be intresting especially with the prospect of having were creatures with men or mer, could be some serious group tention if anyone would like to co-host then let me know

Rules-

1. No character controling
2. NO CHARACTER CONTROLLING (Cwutididthar? referances FTW i know, Im not funny)
3. no god modding
4. be somewhat realistic you don't have unlimited arrows/magicka ect
5. Half decent length posts please however I understand RL can be a PITA so we can accept the occasional sort post
6. My word is law
7. Most people know the basic rules by now

Name: Jade

Age: 26

Race: Imperial

Birthsign: The Steed

Height: 5ft 6"

Appearance: http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/9/96651/2113943-underworld_awakening_poster.jpg however with longer hair that reaches past the shoulder blades and of course not that outfit (if anyone is curious as to why ive got a Selene look a like its because in my latest playthrough of skyrim im Rp'ing a Selene character who is a werewolf instead of a vampire however I am going to try and make the character diffrent)

Lycanthrope: Yes, Werewolf

Lycanthrope appearance: http://www.anukki.com/whitebmwwolf/wereskins.html (the white werewolf not the dark one)

Time spent in the hunting grounds: ten years

Weapon/magic or both: Jade uses dual swords and bows

Armor: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1713 (The sleevless variant, the first picture in the pics section)

Personality: Despite living in an enternal hunting ground Jade is quite a happy person but can be somewhat quiet. She is undersided about being a werewolf, whether its a gift or a curse. She can transform whenever she pleases unlike other breeds and has full controll of her beast form but she just cant make her mind up on it. Whens she gets to know someone she is a deep and caring person but will not allow herself to be manipulated by anyone. Jade does however have a tendancy to let her curiosity get the better of her.

Bio: Jade was born in Skyrim - solitude to be exact to an Imperial Legion soldier and barmaid. Despite being quite girlish (which she got from her mother) Jade still wanted to learn to fight and so her father taught her how to use a sword and bow. Despite her father wanting her to follow him and join the legion she chose not to and instead went adventuring. She adventured from the age of 18 to 25 finding various treasures and even took a few bounty's to hunt bandits. On her way back from Falkreath to Solitude she was attatcked by a Werewolf, Jade was fast but the beast was faster and despite putting up a good fight the beast landed a good scratch on her back before fleeing. Jade carried on with her journey back to Solitude but halfway between Markarth and Solitude she changed, she had begun to feel slightly more drained on the journey but she did not pick up on anything major and thus didn't take any disease curing poitions. The only two things she remembered about that time was that one the transformation was the most excrutiating pain she had felt in her life and second she awoke among a decimated group of travellers buck naked. jade ran from the scene as quickly as she could and a travelling merchant took pity offering her clothes. After the first transformation there where no more forced ones, only those she chose and the pain went away as well she did however often feel the need to let her inner beast out. she stopped travelling after that, making frequent sneaky visits to the marshes near solitude to let the beast out and calm her rage.

After she turned 26 Solitude became plauged by a vampire clan living nearby in the marshes and her parents where eventually taken by the clan seeking to rescue them Jade armored up and went hunting, she however refused to transform, she would do this as a human. after penetrating some rather weak defences she found her parents dead, as she sat there motionless the clan leader stabbed her. As she approached the bridge to the hall of Valour Tsun guardian of the bridge raised his hand and said this was not the place for her to which Hircine appeared and took her to the hunting grounds. Jade now has the chance to leave the hunting grounds and get the vengence she so deeply wants.

Werewolf&Vampire

Name: Kraven Desselius


Race: Imperial

Gender: Male

http://oi45.tinypic.com/x4i5cm.jpg Over three centuries. Deceased.

http://oi45.tinypic.com/b654rr.jpg Kraven has light-brown skin tone and is usually the most exotic looking man one can lay eyes upon. He has long, shoulder-length black hair, which he wears behind him in a savage manner and allows it to fall onto his shoulders. His skin is sun-tanned as well. He has a strong jaw line and a bedraggled look to him. He has soft, hazel colored eyes. He wears a sorted variation of animal skins and fur for pants and usually wears no shirt. He is well-fit and well-built, and stands of a form among the hunters of Hircine’s sphere.

Appearance-Werewolf: Large and brutish, Kraven’s werewolf form is grey furred and much taller than the average human. It’s face is wolfish, and yet somehow monstrous at the same moment. His grey fur has a slight blue tint to it when he is in direct sunlight or during the day. Alongside it’s head and snout his fur is a darker shade of grey, while his entire body is a lighter tone. His eyes, as most werewolves, are yellow and feral. His teeth are long and sharp to when he closed his mouth, his front fangs are always visible from the outside. He has a distinct patch of hair at the top of his head, in between his long ears.

Reason of being in the Hunting Grounds: Kraven died after many generations of serving Hircine, and thus his soul was gladly accepted with welcoming arms into the Hunting Grounds, where he hunts for all eternity with the other hunters of his kind.

Inventory: A silver spear, a quiver full of silver arrows and a hunter’s bow. Also has a sharp hunting dagger.
Weaknesses: Silver, Daedric or Enchanted weapons.

Strengths: Lycanthropic strength in both human and werewolf form, enhanced vision, smell and speed. For an extensive time in the Hunting Grounds, Kraven knows the geography and has a bit of an edge over the prey, though he understands they can be unpredictable.

Skills: From his life, Kraven has skills in block, marksmanship and blade. Being once a gladiator champion in his life in Nirn, Kraven brought those skills along with him even after death. Though they serve him little compared to his knowledge of the terrain and geography of the Hunting Grounds, as well as his skill in survival and tracking.

http://oi47.tinypic.com/14scm0w.jpg Once, most would say Kraven was a under confident man with low self esteem who rose to become a prideful and famous warrior. In his life, he was a man of honor and principle, and obsessed with glory and fame in the arena. Years later after his slavery and his retirement from the gladiatorial arts, Kraven attempted to adopt a new role as loving father when he had a son. His role as father was also his role as harsh and understanding mentor. Yet, after his violent death in the Fourth Era, Kraven’s soul was taken to the Hunting Grounds. Overtime, his thoughts and mind was clouded with thoughts of the hunt and his eagerness to transform into his primal, bestial form. In Hircine’s domain, the shadow of a respectable and honorable combatant was replaced by a survivalist and warrior of the wild, as well as an unforgiving and merciless hound of Hircine.

Background: Kraven was born into a poor household near Lake Rumare in the Third Era. As a boy to a young man, he attended to his cattle and livestock, and hunted along the Great Forest to support his mother and himself. Though he wished to leave, he felt chained by his abusive father, who was overly controlling and abusive to both him and his mother. Kraven sought to rid himself and his maternal figure by acquiring a good sum of coin to move away. Eventually, Kraven got into a gambling debt with a motley crew of corrupt figures in the Waterfront District, and was sold into slavery by corrupt Imperial Legion officers. He became a slave to House Telvanni. In his four years as a slave and later a gladiator prisoner, he was able to amass a great amount of wealth and riches, only to donate it all to his mother who yet lived in poverty.

Kraven was infected with Lycanthropy when a Nordic woman was captured in the Sheogorad Region in Vvardenfell. While she became infatuated with the top dog of the pack of slaves near a Telvanni stronghold, she was scheduled for execution by the Lord of the house. Just before he executed her in the Vivec Arena, she had bitten him on the shoulder near his neck, giving him Lycanthropy in the process with the thought that he would be granted a chance of freedom. Without imagining what he would become, Kraven’s spirit had joined with the beast world three days later.

After his escape and slaughter, he fled into Skyrim. Confused, alone and nearly insane, Kraven sought to kill himself after what had transpired. Yet he held onto hope, hoping he could somehow relate to his new life and find a cure for his Lycanthropy. He became a hermit and a drifted, living in the forest near Falkreath. Yet his past was unwilling to fall to the grave when his vengeful slave master sent Telvanni mercenaries to locate him for the accident that had happened in the slave pens in Azura’s Coast. Wanted posters were placed in neighboring towns and cities, and soon, Kraven was a wanted man.Eventually, the person who finally was able to hunt him down and almost achieve success was a woman named Vera the Huntress, a Bounty Hunter from Cyrodiil. And coincidently, she was also a hereditary Lycanthrope, born from an accursed bloodline.

Realizing both could gain with each other rather than lose, they joined forces. His female counterpart convinced him that Lycanthrope was a gift rather than a curse. And both had set out to discover a new purpose in life. Still obsessed with the past, Kraven sought to make up for his years of suffering by forming a pact with the Witches of Glenmoril. He would always honor Hircine, in this life and the next, if he was given a prolonged lifespan. And so he was given a long lasting life, though a harsh one. Seven months later following his escape from slavery, he had ventured to Solstheim for the Bloodmoon event. During the ritual, he attempted to increase his Lycanthropic powers by obeying Hircine’s direct commands.

As the crimson moon disappeared, Kraven was among the hounds of Hircine that were pulled back into the Hunting Grounds. In Nirn, Kraven fathered a boy named Lycus Desselius, whom he raised as a son and also a legacy to his own bloodline. Kraven died at the hands of the Vigilantes of Stendarr after his wife, Vera, had perished. This occured when his son was yet an adolescent boy. Kraven was never able to see his son carry out his legacy, but he is certain his offspring would join him in the perilous, yet rewarding, glorious afterlife.

Name: Vera. Known to most as Vera the Huntress.

Race: Imperial.

Height: 6’1

Birthsign: The Warrior

Age: Deceased. Appears in her mid twenties.

Time spent in the Hunting Grounds: Undetermined. Died in the early years of the Fourth Era.

http://oi48.tinypic.com/2rrpg5h.jpg Vera was known in her youth to be young and beautiful, with a vibrant aura that surrounded her appearance. Even as she grew older, she retained somewhat of her attractive looks. Vera has blond hair, which was once long, and now is kept a bit shorter. Her eyes are a vicious golden which matched her hair. She was lithe and agile, using guile and speed to best her prey and her opponents, though at times she used her strength to destroy her weaker adversaries. Over the decades in the Hunting Grounds, her physical appearance was reduced to something more savage.

Appearance-Werewolf: Her lupine form is great and a bit muscular, standing seven feet tall. Her fur is completely black and dark, as her claws. Her teeth long, sharp and deadly, as most Lycanthropes. Her dagger-like claws known to be as sharp as the end of Hircine’s spear, able to tear her prey asunder. Her black ears are always tufted she is about to attack, and her snout wrinkles when she snarls. Around her neck is a mane of extra black hair. With enhanced strength, her weight is enough to crush prey with an aggressive attack. When she roars, her eyes are intense and wild, bespeaking her savagery.

Apparel: Vera has a range of clothing at her disposal, mostly natural material made from fur and animal skin. Though she stalks the Hunting Grounds as both prey and predator, wearing the skulls of her mortal human prey along her shoulder pads. She has armor which is more savage, though akin to the gear worn by the Forsworn, allowing her to move quickly through the terrain of the Hunting Grounds with ease.

Profession: Former Bounty Hunter. Now hunts in eternity as a Hound of Hircine.

Skills: Vera is skilled in hand to hand, archery/marksmanship and one-handed as well as two handed. She has a sharp eye and can detect prey, and a steady hand to use her bow. Though she is weaker in magic and has to retreat often when pitted against a powerful mage. She also is very weak at using a shield, and is known to not use one, relying on offense and evasive maneuvers as her ultimate defense.

Birthplace: Cyrodiil.

Blessing: Born with Lycanthropy.


http://oi50.tinypic.com/212gxus.jpg“Do not call mistake me for a friend. I am an animal, who’s illusion was to be a person. And that illusion is born of a lie. I am the Beast of your greatest fears, your greatest nightmares. You may flee, but I will come for you, for it is my nature. It is axiomatic.”

Vera at a young age was always a girl with dreams to become famous and successful. Even after being surrounded by wealth and riches and a loving family, she craved a life of existence and purpose. She had a dry, sarcastic wit about her, and refused to keep her mouth shut when it was the best time. And her sense of adventure and energetic demeanor led her to get involved with criminals and Skooma addicts in Bravil.

Many years after her troubled youth, she grew into a hardened woman, comparing herself to a hungry beast forever seeking to devour those worthy enough to be her prey. She became truly obsessed with fame and glory, and became a devour worshiper of Hircine when she first came to accept her Lycanthropy. In her life as a Bounty Hunter, she was granted that fame and attention she craved. Yet it also came with drawbacks, as she was infamous and hated in the criminal world, which led her to grow increasingly insane. She was known as a brilliant lunatic as well, allowing the beast to befuddle her mind and her spirit as she always gave into her animalistic urges.

Though at final years of her life, in yet a second pact with Hircine, she bore a child which she had hoped would carry her and Kraven’s legacy into the world soon after their fate. Her wish was indeed granted, yet she perished at the hands of a evil group known as the Vigilantes of Stendarr. In the Hunting Grounds, she is cold, callous and has carried over bit of her dry humor from her previous life. Though she is more insane and bestial than the rest, this is evident by her style of clothing and her “trophies” of skulls collected from her human and mortal prey and painting her face with the blood of her kills.

Attitudes & Behavior: Insane and blood-thirsty, Vera was granted the afterlife she sought. One of danger and peril, where the tables could turn on her anytime. She craves hunting others in her concept of paradise, and enjoys being hunted for the sole purpose of reverting the chase in her own jest of amusemant. Her taste for Cyrodiilic Brandy was now washed away as her thirst for flesh and blood took over her natural urges. She became a cannibal, tasting the flesh and blood of her prey in more than just a figure of speech. As she did in life, Vera believes in self evolution. She has grown to a formidable huntress by studying the techniques of her prey, and when she is outdone, she seeks to improve her own ways to be granted the advantage whenever the situation arises again.

Motive: To be the top huntress in the Hunting Grounds. To see the legacy she left behind in the world to return to her.

History: Vera’s past is long and expansive, though her known history is a strange one. Vera was born into a wealthy family of nobles living near the Great Forest. Her family owned a fair bit of territory in those parts. Growing up with her sister, Vera was taught the rules and the behavior that all young girls should have been taught. Though her boredom manifested into her actions, taking her to a path of adventure and rebelliousness. Her future would take a drastic turn as learned she was born into a ancient family of hereditary Lycanthropes, which curse had manifested few times over the generations. A bloodline which dated back to the ancient times where man could neither speak, write nor think properly. After numerous conflicts with authority and her own family, Vera became distant and much more evasive, joining the Fighter's Guild for a promise of wealth and glory. Eventually, when she least expected it, she transformed into a werewolf when her Lycanthropy blossomed and manifested, killing her sister in the process.

Her murder nearly drew her over the edge, as she slowly became demented and crazy with the newfound power she was given. And in that realization, she thought she could pave her future in a glorious hunt for survival and meaning. She became a Bounty Hunter and sought to rise to fame in the Third Era as a free-lance mercenary. She began with doing jobs for lowly criminals and smugglers in Bravil to the higher echelon of society in the Empire. In a few years, her name grew to be known.

When she bit off an Orc’s thumb in a Bruma tavern, and accidentally killed a Legion officer, she smuggled herself to Skyrim so she could begin anew. Vera eventually came to confront a werewolf hunter and a bounty whom she befriended. The bounty she was eager to capture was Kraven Desselius, a former slave and a gladiator. She befriended and fell in love with the man, convincing him of her own beliefs that Lycanthropy is a gift and a blessing. The two were inseparable from that point on. During her lifetime, she participated in the Bloodmoon, made pacts with Witches and later, was mother to a single son. While she could look back and smile at what she did in life, she is eager to serve Hircine in eternity at his realm in the Hunting Grounds.

Appearance: Black hair, tied back into a pony tail, smooth tan/dark skin (like all in her tribe) blue war-paint: three dark blue streaks over/under her left eye, the same as on the day she was killed. An old scar is jutting down her right cheek, such wounds are common when one lives in the wilderness of Skyrim.

Although many in her tribe hunt with a bow, she primarily fished, used traps, and forraged for her food.

Weapon/magic or both: War Axe, Alteration magic

Armor: studded hide armor, fur boots, hide shield.

Personality: The tribe said her curiosity would be her undoing, even at a very young age she was wondering far from camp. Although she can be snide and reserved at times, her personality is not nearly cold as the reputation of her tribe proceeds. Unlike many nords, it is not strength that she admires in an individual, it is intellect. Although her hatred of the elves and redgaurd remains very encompassing with nordic tradition.

Bio: Yule was entranced with the civilizations that had cast her people into the wilderness long ago. She fequently approached Khajiit caravans and traded pelts, meats, and weapons from slain skirmishers from Hammerfell for books. As she grew in years, she left her tribal homeland, and wandered around the northern province Skyrim, as well as High Rock. Weeks before her death, she made her way back to her home tribal region in the forrests of Hijaalmarch. However it was not long before she was traveling once more, when outsiders made their way into her tribes homeland. They were not alone, there was an evil they brought with them. Yule alone lead the outsiders towards their destination of High Rock, and eventually was slain in her attempt to protect them.

Before a week was up he had fainted in a small clearing. When he woke up he was in Cyrodil. Looking up at the shrine of Hircine. He was accepted as one of the hunters and spent many years with them before travveling to Skyim to hunt bigger creatures. Before long he heard tale of the companions. Fierce warriors and hunters who worked for money and glory. He immediately traveled to Jorvaskr and put his name in for consideration.

His eyes are light brown, with small copper rings that encircle his irides. He’s slender, with larger shoulders than would be expected, his body would best be described as that of an acrobat, with skin pulled taught across powerful muscles.

Traits: Falco is an archer of impressive skill, he has served in various armies as an archer and became known for his shooting ability. He crafted his own bow from elm and it is perfectly weighted and sized for his ability, he can also, given enough time, make usable arrows.

Weapon/magic or both: His own elm longbow and a quiver of forty arrows of his own making, these are made up of bodkin tips, broadheads and a few special triangular heads.

He is however ferociously loyal and will come out of his shell around people he trusts.

Bio: Falco grew up in the West Weald under the shadow of Skingrad’s walls, his family owned a small farm between the city and the edges of Valenwood. Falco would often hunt in the great forest itself, spending days, weeks and occasionally months in under the shelter of the canopy there.

It was on one of these trips that Falco lost everything he had ever had. A group of marauders swept through the area and destroyed his farm. Upon his return he found his family mutilated and dead. His brother’s head had been hacked roughly from his neck and mounted on a pike outside the gates of the farm, a punishment for the only member of the family who moved to defend the holding.

Distraught from his loss Falco left his farm and began to travel the world. He instinctively moved south, deeper into the forests he had once hunted in. He spent the following years in the company of the Bosmer, learning their archery techniques and improving his already uncanny skill.

On the left side of his face, starting at the chin and reaching up to past his eyebrow is a tattoo of a hand print, resembling the mark given to members of the Hands of Almalexia. His skin is a gray-blue as opposed to the ashen color of most of his kin. Typically he wears light clothing, a loose cotton shirt and brown trousers tucked into a pair of old leather boots.

Lycanthrope: No

Lycanthrope appearance: Not a Lycanthrope

Time spent in the hunting grounds: 0

Traits: Muno has no natural talent with any form of magic, and it has made him extremely distrustful of magic in general. This gives him a unique sensitivity to spells as well as a slight resistance to them where other Dunmer do not.

Weapon/magic or both: Muno is unable to use magic, and has no desire to. He favors the bow, as well as crossbows and is decent with a blade. When he has them available, his preference is a sturdy crossbow and bolts combined with a large knife he can use both for defense and practical needs like hunting.

Armor: He wears a weathered leather buckler that fits over his chest; it has been patched numerous times as he fixed it over the years. Over his legs he wears a similar set of armored leather knee and shin guards, and boots to match. He has worn this armor for years, and has modified it to have several pockets and belts in case he needs extra gear. He wears a hood when he is travelling, but it serves no defensive purpose. Cloth fingerless gloves keep his hands nimble and able to hold a bow with more precision, but leave his arms exposed and unshielded.

Personality: Aloof but curious. He tries to pretend he doesn’t care about others but is in reality a very concerned and protective individual when he finds someone he likes. However, he takes an icy attitude towards those that get on his bad side, and is not opposed to ending disputes in a brawl. He has been described as a ‘boy scout’ before for always ending up doing the right thing, regardless of how may say he feels about it. But if it is a matter of life or death, he has no hesitation to strike first or take cheap shots.

Bio: Muno has been a wandering Cyrodil, Skyrim, and Hammerfell for the better part of 25 years. He avoids his homeland of Morrowind like the plague, having been branded a criminal and a traitor for crimes unknown. He has travelled with a number of different companions in that time, including a young werewolf who was still learning to control his transformations, but always winds up going it alone again after a certain period of time.
It was during his travels that he came across the powerful drug known as Moon Sugar, and became an addict. He manages to control his habit by always carrying a small pouch of it on him and using it when he feels himself starting to get the urge, but without this it is only a matter of days before he goes through violent, often dangerous symptoms of withdrawal. He has at least three children with two different women, but fate or circumstance has caused him to abandon both.
His skills as a hunter are fine tuned by his time as a soldier and years in the wilds.



Ok have fun everyone

Jade awoke with face full of grass and as she did she could hear the unmistakable voice of Lord Hircine ringing out. She didnt need to hear it she new exactly what was going on, she taken part in this hunt before... just on the other team. There would be a group of them, and as son as they left this clearing they would have a two day head start but that wasnt to mean they wouldn't encounter anything else in their two day headstart. Her senses twitched as she sat up, her eyes darted left and right scanning the forest ahead, it was natural but there was nothing there. Jumping up to her feet she could see the others laid out in the grass. The first thing she did was approach the wepons store and picked out two elven shortswords and an ebony bow along wih a quiver of ebony arrows. The two swords sat on her back beneath the quiver and she slung the bow over her body. She had no intrest in the supplies store, any food or water would just slow her down, if shee needed any she would get it in the wild herself.

Sitting down on a tree stump she awaited for the others to stir.

Allimir jerked himself up suddenly aware of the feeling of soft grass and a strong, powerful voice in his ears. He scanned the clearing observing the multiple buildings and unconscious bodies laying across the grass. But the thing that caught his attention was the Great Lord Hircine standing above him. He immediately took a knee bowing reverently to his lord and master. He mumbled a quiet prayer to himself the immediately began preparing himself for the hunt. His heart raced as he gathered his bow and quivers. "This is it." He whispered to himself, "This is Hircine's hunt." He checked his arrows making sure each one was sharp enough to pierce the thickest hide even chain mail if he pushed himself.

Finally the elf stood and looked around to make sure that none intended to hurt him before the Hunt truely began. He looked once more at Lord Hircine and bowed his head before racing off into the forest intent on using the headstart to gain the most advantages that he could. He ran on for as long as he could until he grew tired. When his lungs began to beg him for rest he slowed his pace to a light jog then a casual walk content with the distance he had put between himself and the clearing. He wove through the tree's taking a curving route to make him harder to follow and picked up herbs and roots stuffing them in his pouches for later only allowing himself a root to chew on for energy. After a while he lept up into the trees to make any tracks of his harder to follow. He lept from branch to branch never lingering in one spot for long. Finally he settled in one tree and climbed as high as he could before leaning against the rough trunk of the tree and letting himself chew one another root before relaxing in the tree to catch his breath.

Yule awoke to the thick fog hovering over her, it felt cold on her light brown skin. She looked amoungst her fellow hunters, smirking at the milk drinkers who thought themselves her equal. She would tear them limb from limb if she had to, but for now, she would have to embody the cornerstone virtue of her tribe... patience. He removed her boots, and dipped her feet into a nereby stream. Waiting for the milk drinkers to awake and boast about their superior skills, her eagerness could not be known to her fellow hunters, she had to get out of here.

The Dunmer Muno awoke with a groan, rolling onto his side and throwing an arm over his face. He had a throbbing head ache, his insides burned and every noise seemed to ring in his ears endlessly. He sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and squinting around him. Where was this? It wasn't his camp, that much was certain. The trees were wrong, his fire was gone and so was his tent. The smell in the air was different too, foreign and unknown to him.

Then he heard the voice ringing out loud and clear. The Lord Hircine had chosen his prey, and the hunt was on.
"....this has to be a dream. I had some bad Moon Sugar.. thats got to be it.." he reached for the little leather pouch he always kept close to his chest beneath his shirt, making sure his drug was still there and breathing a sigh of relief. Giving himself a minute for the world to stop spinning around him, he rose to his feet and scanned the area. Supplies laid out in the clearing he was in seemed to have already been picked through partly, but as he expected there was still a healthy supply of arrows and after a little bit of searching he even managed to come across a fine steel crossbow with etchings of wolves down its sides. Strapping two small quivers of bolts to his legs and arms and one on his back he decided he had enough to at least begin with, then went digging for his second choice.
A large, broad-bladed hunting knife that he slid into a leather sheath at his hip, a small belt of throwable daggers and last but not least a canteen full of fresh water. Finally, as a last minute decision he picked up a good, sturdy axe, slinging it across his shoulders as he walked away from the stash.

He took a minute to take in the sight of the other contestants in the hunt as he walked around the clearing in a circle. He was able to pick out a few of them just by the eyes... werewolves. So what Hircine said was true; a second chance for his followers.
Muno had no intention of becoming someone's next meal. But they had a two day head start, if he was the only mortal there, he wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of his fear.
As he walked away into the misty woods, he was whistling cheerfully.

Falco Destirus, The Hunting Grounds, Day One.

Falco awoke quickly however he did so without moving, the years spent hunting in Valenwood had trained him to not make any sudden movements as he woke up. He heard the voice of Hircine as he assumed the other sleepers must have. Once the voice had finished he heard the others begin to move and collect supplies. He pushed himself upwards into a comfortable position, sitting cross-legged on the ground. He glanced around his surroundings, it appeared to be a glade like any other in a Nirnian forest. Falco walked over to the supplies lying on the ground.

A familiar sight met his eyes, his yew longbow and quiver, complete with his own black feather fletched arrows. He hoisted the bow across his shoulders and pulled his quiver on. The glade with fringed with tall trees and one in particular caught Falco's eye. It was slightly taller than the others and had enough branches that he believed that he could climb to the top of it. He did so quickly, swiftly clambering up the fifty feet of the tree to the top. From his vantage point he could see much of the Hunting Grounds laid out before him. After forming a quick mental map he descended the tree quickly.

"So, we have two days headstart, I suggest we work together and move quickly. Together we might stand a chance of escape." He spoke aloud to those still in the glade hoping that some would take him up on his offer.

Muno's attention was turned from the forest ahead once he heard the voice. He looked up, seeing the lone man perched in the branches of the tree. Normally, in Cyrodil, his policy was to travel alone... less to worry about... but here in the Lord of the Hunt's realm, being alone might mean dying alone.

Better to listen to the voice of reason.

"Oi!" he called up, cupping his hands over his mouth and waving a hand. "Can you see our destination from there?" he asked. Better to let him know they were on the same side now than have to make up for it later. He took a quick scan of him; Imperial, lean and well excercised from the looks of things.

"I planned to follow a river if there was one. Hopefully that'll throw any hounds off the scent. For a while, at least." he called up at him.

Erissa - Hircine's Hunting Grounds, Day One:
I woke up in a clearing, with several others awake, and some still unconcious. i jumped to my feet, and looked around. i rushed over to the weapon store, and almost fainted again... it couldn't be... a crossbow sat on a shelf. Ebony. the leather grip was worn, and i could see the bite marks buried in the end. in fancy, careful script, the word "Erissa" engraved on the limbs. this was not any old crossbow. this was MY crossbow! the very weapon i used when i was alive! i checked the weapon. other than a few flecks of blood - my blood, i realised - it was fine. i held it, and tried to load a bolt.
i split an apple with a single shot, and grinned as the apple's halves were lit up by electric charges. it felt strange to wield this weapon, for i had died wielding it, but i knew that this was it. not a forgery. If you hold a weapon you enchanted, you will know it was done by you. it is unknown why, but an enchanted object remembers it's creator.

Grabbing a set of Elven Armour, i donned it and finally picked up an Elven sword. I slung the sword into my sheath. i found a plentiful supply of bolts for my crossbow, but i would have to ration these carefully. if i ran out, i'd have nothing but sticks for ammunition. i slung the quivers onto my hip. i walked over to the food store. i grabbed a canteen of water, a loaf of bread, and some large clumps of garlic. while there wouldn't be any vampires here, i was wearing almost exactly what i wore back in Skyrim, when i hunted vampires. all i needed was some garlic stringed around my neck and a sharp peice of wood, i would be complete once again.I had to show Hircine that i was not his pet anymore.

i picked up some string and a needle, and thread some of the garlic. i put it on my neck, stepped away from the supplies, and looked around. An Imperial woman was sitting on a stump, waiting patiently. A male Imperial called out:
"So, we have two days headstart, I suggest we work together and move quickly. Together we might stand a chance of escape."

a Dark Elf called out to him, and the Imperial replied. i walked over to them, and slung my crossbow over my back. i spoke to both: "I'm in. my name's Erissa" i took off my helmet. i looked at the woman on the tree stump. "and who are you guys? and girl?"

Jade watched others stir, the first awoke and said a prayer, he was a creature of this land, she laughed to herself he was praying to hircine and yet in two days hircine would be on his trail to try and kill him, he then ran from the clearing. A few others awoke shortly after one started walking to the forest, another went to a nearby stream, one had climbed to the top of a tree and one other grabbed weapons, a few however still remained unconcious.

The imperial in the tree shouted something about sticking together this shout caused the dunmer who had walked off to returning as did the altmer. Jade sat and watched for a moment as the three conversed with the altmer asking who everyone was

"I'm Jade" she called over before getting up and walking towards them

"As the imperial said we should stick together no one who goes it alone makes it, trust me I've been on the other side of this hunt a few times before. Infact now that I think about it no one has ever made it out, the fact that hircine changes the exit location every hunt does not help and move fast we must for Hircines hounds are fast." Jade quickly whipped her head around as her sensitive hearing picked up something in the forest behind her but it was merely a rabbit. She relaxed lowering her arms that were going for an arrow.

"so can you see anything up there?"

Falco Destirus, Day One

"So can you see anything up there?" The asker was a woman, Imperial like him but there was something unusual about her, a slightly animalistic glint in her eye, despite this there was still something attractive about her and Falco found himself slightly attracted to her.

"It looks pretty inhospitable out there, it's mostly forest like this but there's mountains right on the horizon." He turned to the Dunmer who had been walking away from the group, a Dunmer with a large tattoo across one side of his face. "I'm Falco by the way, most of my friends used to call me Falco the Huntsman but I suspect that name has less meaning here. I agree with you, we should follow a river, there's one slightly to the north of us here. If we follow it upstream it should lead us to the mountains, there we should be able to use the sparser terrain to see any enemies coming from much further away."

Allimir lept down from the tree and began to formulate a plan for survival. He began to make his way back towards the clearing in order to confuse any trackers. He had removed his boots in order to leave less of a trail and he took a winding route in order to hide his path. Once he arrived at his destination he set a few snares around a tree and climbed up into it hoping to attract the attention of just one person. While he usually worked alone this was an intense competition. But he would only work with one person.

He scanned the clearing taking in those who remained. Two Imperials, a Dunmer, a Nord, and an Altmer remained. The two Imperials seemed like cabable hunters. The imperial with a bow would be a great combination with Allimir if he was well trained. He was the one that Allimir would like to be partnered with. But how to contact him and him alone. The wood elf shrugged and began to sharpen each of his arrows as he thought.

Erissa saw the
imperial woman reply to her call:

"I'm Jade" she called over before getting up and walking towards them

"As the imperial said we should stick together. no one who goes it alone makes it, trust me. I've been on the other side of this hunt a few times before. Infact now that I think about it no one has ever made it out, the fact that hircine changes the exit location every hunt does not help. and move fast we must for Hircines hounds are fast."
"so can you see anything up there?"
the imperial that had climbed the tree replied:
"It looks pretty inhospitable out there, it's mostly forest like this but there's mountains right on the horizon." He turned to the Dunmer who had been walking away from the group, a Dunmer with a large tattoo across one side of his face.

Falco glanced at Jade with a funny look in his eye. the Imperial woman noticed this, and Erissa looked at him and smirked, making him blush
"Following the river would be best. Vampires don't like running water. ugh, right. no vampires here. oh, what i'd do to be able to kill one last undead svcker."
Erissa sat down, embarassed. she fiddled with the garlic around her neck and checked her crossbow for damage while waiting to see what would happen next

Muno raised a pierced brow to the small group that was clustering on one edge of the clearing now. As rag-tag a bunch as he'd ever seen, but then sometimes it was those types that you really wanted at your back in a scrap.
He lowered the axe to the ground and leaned against it. "Muno Raveren. And hopefully you haven't heard of me." he said with a short nod. "Falco... the name is familiar. Have you ever been in Hammerfell?" he asked curiously.

He turned to the Altmer who called herself Erissa, and the second Imperial named Jade. The two of them had something strange about them, a smell that was only barely hidden under the aroma of garlic around the Altmer's neck.

The smell of dog.

He shrugged off the thought, it could be nothing. But he'd keep an eye on them.

"We'll make better time if we travel light... but with four of us..." he nodded behind him slightly, letting the others know that they were being watched... by who or what, he did not know. "...anyways, with four of us we ought to be able to carry a share of gear and still make good time." he suggested.

"I'm going to assume the water in this place is drinkable. I doubt it'd make much sport for Hircine if we died of starvation or dehydration."

Yule dipped her bare toes into the river, she overheard the others behind her formulating their plans. Soon all would rush off, sprinting with all of their to put as much distance between them and the clearing. Yule however had a different plan, she knew, as every true hunter knew, that prey is most easily picked off when it is in large groups. The great Lord Hircine would roll over these hunting grounds, the ground would quake in his onslaught. Yule would evade detection by making herway downstream. No tracks would she leave behind, and more importantly, no scent. The stream was put here for a reason, she could only hope the lord of the hunt would look uppon her cleverness with mercy. For she desperately wanted to be back with her clan. Looking down threw the water she saw fish circling something covered by rocks glimmering in the water. Hopping in to the cool waist deep waters she quickly submerged herself into the stream.

Holding her breath, she promptly shuffled the smooth rocks to the side. What she uncovered she could scarcely believe, it was truly a gift directly from Hircine himself. She emerged from the water, inhaling the warm afternoon air, grasping a small war axe. It's blade cast a mirror like shine in the sunlight. Admiring it for just a few more moments Yule pulled herself back up onto the stream bank. The young Nord woman began foraging for a farmiliar nut, it's oil containing very impressive qualities. Yule was already off to a strong start, it would only get more difficult moving forward. As she foraged in the bushes, she heard fellow hunters beyond her laughing. There they were formulating plans on survival, as she knelt hunched over like a complete fool, foraging in the bushes. If they knew her true intentions, they would not be so hasty to judge.

Erissa saw a Nord leave om the clearing, and silently followed her. When she caught up, she tapped the human on the shoulder, and crouched down next to her.
"Hey, you want to work with us? you look like you know how to use that axe. we need all the help we can get." She said, cautiosly watching the Nord pluck a small nut off of a bush

Yule turned around and looked at the tall Altmer. Yule assessed her appeal, and demeanor up and down before she spoke. Placing a hand on the elves pouldron she stated "That armor may be light now, but it will weigh you down after a few days of hiking." Yule proceeded to turn her back to the elf, and continued picking. "You elves come to our lands demanding how we should conduct our lives, I see even in death your demands don't diminish." Yule dropped a handful of nuts into a small pouch along her waist. "Is a deer not easier to track when it is in a herd? What you all fail to realize, is Lord Hircine will exploit every last weakness we have. I would rather stay in this plane of Oblivion forever than pair myself with a Thalmor." With that, Yule stormed off toward the clearing to gather more supplies before taking off down the river.

Muno sat back and waited for the others to respond, inspecting the edge of his axe blade. He had intended to use it for chopping wood... but after some thought he realized it might do just as fine a job chopping through the thick necks of Werewolves...

But he kept this thought to himself as he quietly ran a stone along its edge, honing it as a plan was formulated.

The smell of dog had only come off of the woman Jade, but the garlic scent from Erissa was enough to partially mask it.

There was more and more activity starting up as one woman crept into the bushes and began scraping along the ground for something. He let her be for the moment, if the group got too large it would cease to be a good idea to stick around. Safety in numbers didn't necessarily apply when your pursuer was tracking you through dense underbrush.

Erissa frowned angrily, and thought about what the Nord had said. it was true, the armour would weigh her down. and maybe she had been a bit demanding. maybe. she walked back to the supplies, and ditched the armour, save for the boots. she also ditched her sword for a smaller and lighter dagger.

"We'll make better time if we travel light... but with four of us..."Muno spoke. "...anyways, with four of us we ought to be able to carry a share of gear and still make good time." he suggested.

"I'm going to assume the water in this place is drinkable. I doubt it'd make much sport for Hircine if we died of starvation or dehydration."

"Well, we should only take what we need. the Nord over there said that armour would be a bad idea, and i agree. it'd weigh us down, and i'm not sure if it'll make much of a difference if a werewolf tears your head off, but we all need a weapon" i replied. "what are you three good at?"

Falco the man in tree gave Jade a look but she couldn't quite tell what it was, distrust? Affection? It had been a while since she'd had to deal with other people so she was a bit rusty but she was sure it would come back to her soon.

There was some more conversation ending with the altmer, Errissa asking what everyone was good with but first Jade responded to Muno

"yes the water here is drinkable, Hircine makes the hunt fair for the pray, he dosnt like easy prey, as I'm sure your all aware he revels in the hunt and the harder it is the more rewarding it is to him" she brushed some hair out of her face before continuing "I'm a fair shot with a bow and can scrap up close with theese two swords" she paused before continuing unaware of how the next response would go down, she suspected Muno had already guessed it "I'm also... A werewolf I don't know how many of you here are not a Lycan of some form but I won't cause harm to any of you I can controll myself completley, if I'm honest I was never sure whether it is a gift or a curse I just wanted to be honest with you guys"

Jade stood there with a cautious look on her face waiting to see how the news would go down.

Allimir watched the others inttereact with each other with very little interest. He sighed as he left the tree to check on his snares. While these people could be great hunters or warriors Allimir had no interest in anything other than surviving. His snares had managed to catch two small rabbits which he set in his pouch to carry to the river. As he wound through the trees he was startled to find a Nord woman by the river. He lifted his bow and notched an arrow pulling it back as far as he could feeling the muscles in his back and shoulders bunch together like steel springs. "Who are you." He called out to her levelling the arrow at her chest.

Yule grabbed a small satchel at the center of the clearing, inside of it was fishing line, lures, a thin hide satchel, bedroll, a water jug, and a small cooking pan. Deciding to check the other side of the stream before she headed out, Yule headed down to the bank. It wasn't long after before she heard "WHO ARE YOU!?!" looking to her right she saw one of the more frightening sights in Tanriel, a Bosmer with an arrow notched and pointing toward her chest. Quickly casting a paralysing spell on Allimir, Yule rushed the wood elf grabbed his bow, and delivered a swift kick to his abdomen. Sending him sprawling backwards into the stream. Grabbing her newly acquired axe, Yule tightly gripped the handle. It would be a cold day in Oblivion before she let an elf roll her for her belongings. There were plenty of contestants walking around, there is no way this Bosmer was startled. He was either robbing her, or an idiot.

Muno looked up from his axe met Jade's gaze. The look he gave her would say everything she needed to know: you don't get in my way, I won't get in yours. It wasn't that he distrusted all werewolves. Hell, he had travelled with one for the better part of a year. But this WAS Hircine's Hunting grounds, and the werewolves were his favored servants... And besides that, she was only confirming his suspicions.

As a way of assuring her that she'd have no trouble from him, he set the axe down and leaned against his knees, patiently listening to the sounds of the forest and the others talking.

He then looked over to Falco, picking up a stick and starting to draw a rough map in the dirt from what the Imperial had described. "So we know the river heads north, up into the mountains where theres probably a source-spring. From there we should be able to cross along the mountain's peaks until we can lay eyes on the return portal." he nodded.

He had a good feeling about most of them. He felt like, should it come down to it, they'd hold their own once Hircine's hunt truly began.

He turned to look at Erissa, then went back to staring at his map before answering. "I'm a fair shot with a bow. I was a soldier for the Temple in Morrowing for a while, learned the sword and spear there, but I might be a bit rusty."

Then he smirked and shook his head, "And I can cook. Sort of."

Allimir managed to break free from the paralysis spell and rolled out of the immediate danger snatching up his bow. He once again notched an arrow but held it pointed away from the nord. "Peace! I am not going to harm you." He slowly let the bowstring relax and replaced the arrow in his quiver holding his hand up for peace. Allimir watched the axe in her hand carefully knowing that if she was here there was almost no doubt that she had the skill to use it.

"I was simply preparing to defend myself. I had no intentions to kill you." He said quietly, only partially lying. He would have waited to kill her. After she had run out her usefullness to him. He narrowed his eyes at her as he thought. "May-. . .Maybe we can work together?" He suggested quietly.

Erissa looked over at Jade. the Imperial woman was cautiously waiting everyone's reaction.
"Don't worry, Jade, i like werewolves. It's very brave of you to admit it. And it's good to know that you and Muno can use a sword, i'm almost useless with them. but i can use this crossbow better than most. i uh, used it a lot back in Skyrim. i was a... hunter" she said the last line nervously, not wanting to talk about her occupation. the memory of her parent's death was still too painful to discuss, let alone think of the beasts that caused it. she realised that it was obvious she wasn't telling the full truth. she hoped no-one would grill her about it. "Muno, you said you can cook? i can roast some meat with a nice broth or simple fondue above a fire, but nothing fancy."
she fiddled with the garlic necklace, trying not to think about that night. the night that changed her life, made her an orphan and started a relentless quest to track down... him. she had almost suceeded. one more second, and she would have accomplished her goal. revenge on the nightwalker that killed her parents. instead, he had taken her life. instead, she held back tears, thinking of the night she had died, leaving behind everything she cared about. her love, her crossbow (altough she had gotten that back today), her entire life had been taken from her. she had owned a small house in the city of Whiterun, and she still longed to return to the building's cozy atmosphere. she longed to see all her friends again. Ysolda, the merchant. Aela, the Archery Master who helped train her to use ranged weaponry. even that annoying Redguard, Nazeem. any one of them would be a sight for sore eyes.
a single tear made it's way down Erissa's cheek. she turned away from the others, hoping they wouldn't notice her sadness.

Yule thought it over, she made a mistake by not lobbing the axe into his skull while the soaking Bosmer was still under paralysis. Thinking over her options, she considered the possibilities. Back in her homeland she had paired with an Imperial and a Argonian both races slightly out of her comfort zone. Why should a shifty Bosmer be any different?

Yule sheathed Hircines axe in the leather sheath that once held the Skyforge steel axe that was presented to her by her father. She gazed down at the soaking wet Bosmer standing in the stream. The first gift from Hircine she found in this stream, who was she to question the second? The extended her tanned arm down the bank to him, and pulled his scrawny body up onto the bank. While Yule was short and slender for a nord woman, she sould easily overpower this short stranger. That is to say, if the little milk drinker didn't slit her throat while she slept.

"I'm Yule" she muttered, and walked over to the clearing to grab a shield, if this little elf was coming along, she would need something to deflect his arrows the next time he decided to get out of line.
