[D3 LA] Hunting Rabbits

[Ser Rychard Bridges]

“Explanation?” Rychard frowned, the fond memories of his baby sister dissolving under Liliane’s scrutiny. Didn’t think I needed an explanation for something that happened years ago, though he was polite enough not to say so.

As they were speaking, they had been closing in on the cross-breed hound, who was sniffing busily back and forth, waiting for the pair to catch up. Hunkering down in the calf-high grass, “they’re definitely nearby, let’s see if we can’t flush some out.”

[Liliane Marten]

"Of your dog sharing a nickname with me," she stated bemused that he seemed to have not noticed.

She drew an arrow and crouched low waiting to see what this other Lily would flush out.

[Ser Rychard Bridges]

He’d noticed, but it had seemed beneath him to draw attention to it, jealous of a dog, how can that be?

Still, he gave a short, sharp whistle, “Lily, flush,” and he readied his bow as well.

[GhostWolfe]

Rabbits!

Lily, the dog, not the person, flushes 8 rabbits.
The rabbits have a Combat Defense of 15, 0 Armour Rating, and 6 Health.

You have 3 rounds to bring down as many as possible before they escape.

Remember that longbows have a 1B training requirement! (-1B to Tests)

[Leovall Marten]

“My, you have me quite outnumbered, Lady Liliane,” he slipped from the saddle and offered a bow to her, and another to the Marten heir. “I thought we could secure the horses and have my dog sniff us a trail.” He indicated to a hitching post nearby, it was the reason he’d been waiting in this spot. Next to the post was the promised cooking pot, and the mutt Lily was lounging in the grass close by.

Dismounting at the indicated spot Leovall hitched his horse and gives the other knight a nod. He watches as the hound goes off to find some game, keeping a distance from the pair and instead focusing on his other cousin.

Terrance rode beside Leovall, offering a respectful nod as well. He remained silent, for now, not wanting his presence to influence any opinion of his sister.

"Cheer up. Lylan isn't as well trained as Cole." He points out, testing Terrance's mood.

[Terrance Stone]

He nodded as he tied the horse off, patting Llyan affectionately.

"Of course. She wasn't trained for that sort of thing. I just thought we'd do a bit better. You and Cole did very well, though."

[Leovall Marten]

"Mother insisted I learn. I'm glad it was well received, but..." He moves to clap Terrance on the shoulder. "I can show you a few tricks for next time."

[Terrance Stone]

He chuckled. "I don't know that there will be a next time, but a lesson or two would be welcome. How do you feel about the tournament? Is there anything I can do to help you prepare?"

[Leovall Marten]

"You shall have them and you can decide afterwards." Leo suggests, pausing to see how the two hunters were doing. It seemed the dog had flushed out some rabbits. "Here we go..." He spoke much more quietly, even though they were a distance away, so as not to risk disturbing the aim of either. "I'm enjoying it. Good company, good food and drink... good all round. I'd not mind someone to spar with in preparation for the upcoming melee however. Might I even convince you to join me if the format allows?"

[Terrance Stone]

"Possibly." he nodded. "I am out of my element in many ways here, but I should learn and adapt. I'm guessing I may be attending more of these at one point or another."
