"One-hundred is a pretty damn good score!"

"Oh yeah, try one-hundred and one!"

A little squabble was breaking out in the newly reconstructed training fields. A small group of Hunters were currently lining up at what was fondly named the Sun Run, most of them with their weapons in the - ahem - flesh.

"Oh look, trainees." One of the Sun Hunters snorts. "Don't tell me you're here to try the challenge."

"The expert mode challenge." The other Sun Hunter adds, pointing to a small glowing screen that was stuck right up next to the Sun Run portal. "The Techs were all like 'Oh I bet everyone sucks with their golem weapons' so we're gonna prove em wrong. By trying repeatedly until we don't suck!"

Well, that was one way of looking at it.


SUN TRAINING COURSE GOLEM CHALLENGE


SUN RUN REDUX

OOC Mechanics:
- Both Hunter and weapon will have to enter inside. Hunters need to either borrow or use their own Runic weapons. They can only roll 2d6-6REGARDLESS of rank.
- Weapons have full stats depending on Hunter rank (ie: trainees 2d8/ intermediates 2d10, full 2d12, all with NO MODIFIER)
- If the Huter misses, that is one STRIKE OUT. You have NO SAVES.
- If you get FIVE STRIKES OUT CUMULATIVE BOTH HUNTER AND WEAPON, you are out.
- The goal is to see how many shadowlings you can kill with both the Hunter AND their weapon golem. Of course you will need to roll for both!
- Trainees can run with more than one person, thus the fun of the "Sun Run". That means you can interact with anyone while doing the run as you please!
- Top three scores might get something nice!

And then a grinning Gramps kicked Wilson onto the sun course. "Kiddo you really gotta stop bein' a goof and beat this thing already. I'm real tired of your wipe outs."

Wilson groaned and rubbed his head. "You really want me to...? Okay, okay. Fine. Just let me get up first."

Seeing his hunter actually take out a couple of the creatures with runic weapons was surprising. He really hadn’t thought Wilson had it in him . Gramps smirked and then turned his back toward Wilson. He cracked his knuckles and rolled his neck. “Alright, let’s get this gig done. You’ve got jets, kiddo, but sometimes you just need a knuckle sandwich, you know?”

“No, I don’t.”

“Eh. You’ll get it eventually.”

Gramps shrugged, his tail flicking back and forth before he jumped into the mob of shadowlings and began to kick them all.

The first few shadowlings must have been a pure fluke because afterwards Wilson began to flail at the shadowlings. It was weird to be surrounded by them without his usual gear. It was even weirder to try and beat them with runic weapons he barely used. The hunter could see why he was having so much trouble trying to fend them off.

Was it bad that Gramps wanted to roll his eyes at Wilson? Well, he turned around to do it anyways. “Kiddo, I think you need to eyeball the place better. I’m tryin’ to have a blast here but you’re really dampenin’ my spirits. I’m never gonna total the place at this rate.” After jutting a finger into Wilson’s shoulders, he spun around and released another round of kicks. There was no need for poisonous gas, especially when his hunter didn’t have a convenient mask.

"Is this a good idea? I thought you wanted me to rest." Candace stretched out her back, her arms, even her legs. The Sun Run was something she had excelled at last time she'd done it. Hell, even without any Fear weapon at all she'd done fantastically. Atropos was practically bristling with excitement, her grin wider than Candace ever thought possible for any mouth to be and her tail swishing happily behind her. She was even bouncing on her toes and making her jewelry jingle with every bounce. Candace couldn't help but smile.

"A couple runs won't hurt! It's been so long since we did the Sun Run together, and now we can do it together. It's going to be so much fun!" Atropos squealed and hurried in ahead of Candace. It was so adorable seeing her like this.

Candace shook her head and grabbed the runic daggers she was given temporary clearance to borrow. She ran in after Atropos, striking out at a few shadows that got a little too close.

Atropos had to run in and bail her out. Oops.
