Now for the mission:
I would like every group to make their own thread. Title it [MISSION] 2am Text Message (group members). In the first post, please list the group total at the top followed by the individual totals for every member.
As for the actual mission: it's your choice whether to RP it or roll it. You can even "opt out" of this by having your character sleep in/ignore the texts if you wish.
The setting: a jungle-like island that is smaller than the Deus Ex island. Feel free to make up what the island is like (spoilers: it's currently covered in snow), what supplies you have, etc etc.
To guide you on your journey, please roll 1-20 sided dice once every hour. This will determine what your group encounters (if anything).
I highly encourage all of you to have every group member roll at least once before rolling every hour.
You do not need to RP out every prompt. If you wish, that is fine. If you don't want to, that's cool too. If you're the only one in your group that wants to RP, you can create a solo thread and solo-respond to the prompts.
Ideally I'd like everyone to be done by the 23rd of this month~
ICly this part of the mission takes place a couple days AFTER the events of the snow sculpture competition.
Mission 3 Prompts
Your group manages to find their way back to the helicopter. The hunters who flew you in are still there, and look at your group with disapproval until the group turns around and goes back to work.
Somehow your group wound up on a beach on the other side of the island. You suddenly wonder which is more fun to build: a sand castle, or a snow castle...
Your group takes a break. A huge load of nothing happens, except someone shakes a pebble out of their boot.
While searching, your group stumbles upon a waterfall completely frozen. Your group decides to take a break and rest here for a bit.
The bushes near your group rustle, and before you know it a rabbit jumps out. It catches sight of the group, freezes, then turns fail and flees!
Your group encounters a large group of -- oh, no, wait. It's just another trainee group. Hopefully they wouldn't mind that you nearly attacked them...
Your group encounters a creature that you're pretty sure is your prey! Unfortunately it manages to spot you first, and flees! Try again... in an hour.
A figure drops down from the trees, weapon drawn and leveled at your group! A Sun Hunter gets the drop on you. She laughs at your expense, but the situation has left your group on high alert. Add +3 points to the group total of DRILLS.
Your group finds the creature you're after! And by "finds" I mean the creature charges out of the bushes and runs everyone over. Combat has begun! Please see the Combat box below. Because it attacked first, everyone must subtract from their HP the damage the creature did when it charged the group.
The group comes across a run-down building being examined by a team of more experienced Moon Hunters. They rope your group into assisting them. Your group must now wait two hours to roll again. But on the plus side, you can now add +5 points to your group's BUILDING total.
Your group encounters an irate Death Hunter who explains that the noise the group was making managed to scare off the specimen they were studying. Wisely, your group decides to retreat. Quickly.
While your group is out exploring, they encounter a Life Hunter gathering samples of the local flora for research purposes. She gives you a few tips; +5 to the group total of PREP WORK.
There it is! The creature you were looking for, you're sure of it! It doesn't seem to have noticed the group; your group may launch a surprise attack. Please see the Combat quote box below.
The group finds a trail of footprints and decides to follow it! ...turns out they're your own foot prints. Roll again in TWO hours from this post.
You find a plant! Is your group's RESEARCH skill over 125? If it is, you recall this particular plant acting sort of like catnip towards the thing you're after. +3 to your next capture roll; after that the effect is lost. (One use only!)
Hey? Where did so'n'so go? You... lost someone. WHELP better spend the next hour looking for them, you guess.
You know what time it is? BREAK TIME! Take five, reroll again in 30 min.
Your group couldn't resist. You guys are out in the middle of the forest, and nobody's around to see. Who can blame you for slacking off on the mission long enough for a snowball fight?
Is that it?! Your group perks up when you see something duck into a cave. Your group follows it, ready to spring into action. The group's excitement plummets when they realize that it's a bear. Now the question is... do you fight? Or do you flee?
-> Flee! Reroll again in an hour.
-> Fight! See the Combat quote box below. And yes, you can capture the bear if you want to... but then the mission's over. Is it a failure? Success? You won't know until you drag it back!
While searching, your group notices an additional party member. It's a Mist Hunter, who points out that they were walking alongside the group for the past ten minutes and nobody noticed until now. The hunter gives some tips on tracking before fading away into the jungle.
-> You may now ALTER your next roll by two. If you roll a 6, this means you can pick option 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. You still need to wait for the next hour to roll, however.
Quote: COMBAT!+ ONE PERSON generate a number between 5 and 10. + QUOTE WHOMEVER YOU ARE TALKING TO PLEASE~ + Your target has 50 hp. + Whenever you attack, your target will counter-attack YOU for the amount one of your group members generated. + You can attack as many times as you want so long as you take the counter-damage. + Tally up the damage you did to the NPC'd opponent. In addition, please note its current HP. + Be creative! Do you jump on its back and try to subdue it? Shoot it? Throw a stick at it? + If it runs out of HP, you have failed the mission. Report back to the helicopter. + What is the amount of your DRILL? Quote: DRILL AMOUNTS:+ 25: No extra effect. + 50: -2 from all attacks against you. You're somewhat prepared. + 75: -3 from all attacks against you. You're prepared. + 100: ...did you do nothing BUT drills? You're overprepared. -5 from all attacks against you. ie, if the target counterattacks for 7 damage and you have 50 points in drill, you take only 5 damage. (7-2=5) When the creature is at 20hp or less, you can try to capture it. If you are attempting a capture, please roll 2d20. The first dice represents your attempt; the second dice is the creature's. If the creature's roll is higher than your's, take x2 damage. If you roll higher than the creature, then secure your target and haul it back to the chopper. Mission success.

Kat did not expect to have such luck right off the bat! The creature practically ran towards them! Er..charged at them more like--but hey! They found it! Now they just needed to capture the damn thing..alive.

Ceres felt herself hiss out in pain for allowing this.. thing to so blindly charge at them, and trample them even! She could feel a bruise on her side as she lifted herself back to her feet. Touching her belt buckle lightly a moment later her hand rested around the handle of Takeru.
He whispered into her ear, for once not talking too much.
Already one step ahead of the advice, she took the chance while the creature was distracted to attack. While her sword did deal a nice blow to the creatures side, it was too fast for the female and quickly flung her away once again with another attack.

Kat quickly followed Ceres' fine example, and opened fire on the creature. Aiming for its legs, she hoped to slow the creature down some so that they might have a better chance at catching it. No doubt, this may be a tough sonuva' b***h to take down.
"You guys alright?" She called to the other trainees on her team. They looked to have taken the blow from the creature harder than she had. HP: 28/40

It certainly did not take very long for them to find the creature.
"Oy vey," muttered Gale, and there was a flash of white light as the sniper rifle appeared in his hands, Jinhai making a noise of agreement in his head. Hoisting the weapon up so that the butt of the gun rested on his shoulder, Gale tilted his head sideways and peered through the telescopic lens.
"I never did like islands."
<< Me either. >>
Ceres had thrown herself forward first, swinging her sword, and Gale tossed her a small smile.
"Nice hit."
Then he looked back through the lens, closed one eye, and pulled the trigger.
BANG.

Unlike the others, Ryan was too startled by the creatures sudden appearance to attempt a hit at it.
They had found it alright and far sooner than he would have expected. Normally he would have preferred a hint of some sort to alert them of it's presence. Something other than almost running right into the damn thing, but then again, they rarely got their way, now did they?

Grinning, she gave a nod towards Gale at the praise as they weakened the creature... Close, so close to try and capture it.
it seemed the creature knew that as well. Ceres paused for a moment to stare open mouthed at Ryan, Ppppffft he missed? Rivalry fueling her making her blood rush a little faster, she turned to try and attack the creature once more... only to be entirely trampled this time.

Hit by the creature a second time, Kat slowly made it back to her feet, finding that the jungle was spinning. "Wooowww." It took a minute for her to regain her senses, not too long with Xedis yelling curses at her in the back of her mind. That was enough to get her back on track.
Aiming at the beast again, she fired another round into it, weakening it a little more.

When Kat made a move to bring the beast down, Ryan waited. Thanks to Kat making an excellent distraction, he was able to easily move in and quickly wrap his arm around it's neck; bringing it down to the ground hard.
"Someone, grab it by it's legs!" If they could keep it from struggling, they could keep it down. Once it was down, it wasn't all that dangerous. Mind you, dragging it back to the helicopter was going to be a b***h.
Mission Success!

Ceres was quick to act. Ryan had its head... Ok good. Only its legs were madly flying around, not only would it hurt itself (heaven forbid they not bring it back alive right?) — she rolled her eyes— or someone else. Launching herself she went for the front legs, using her body weight to pin the thing down. "Someone needs to take the back legs!" She called out to their remaining party members.

The creature was captured before Gale could reload the rifle.
Bloody hell, they're fast, he thought, shrugging his shoulders as he pushed himself back up to his feet, shaking his head so that the fringe of blonde bangs shifted out of his eyes. Slinging the rifle around his back so that the strap was across one shoulder and over his front, Gale dived forward, snagging the back legs of the thing and clamping down on them.
"All right," he said, while the creature was flailing around beneath the combined efforts of all of them.
"Now what?"

With Ryan, Ceres and Gale holding onto the limbs and head of the creature; Kat folded her arms and stared a moment. "We're missing something..OH! The cage, riiiiight." Gesturing for one minute, the sun hunter moved to drag the cage over to the others. Damn this thing was heavy!
Getting it as far as she could on her own, she waited for the others to stuff the creature in and close up the cage before it got out again. "Okay..soo.." She looked to Gale when he voiced his question. Shrugging, she jabbed her thumb in the direction of the chopper. "Guess we take it back to the helicopter now, since we caught it." Good enough for her. She was done with this place.
