Baharimtoto Pride

A Game of Cat and Mouse
There are enemies in our midst and while we don't know exactly where they are yet, some of the visitors in the Bahari are adamant that they are there. The murder of one of our own has spurred the bravest of the Bahari, and by extension some of their friends, to at least make an attempt to uncover who or what this 'scourge' is.

It's over the course of this search that hints as to what the scourge are will be discovered, and perhaps they might even glimpse those very beings these visitors are adamant exist.



**************************

This event takes place just before Nightfall and the real assault on the Bahari'mtoto; you can assume that while RPing this event will take place during the day (with the murder discovered in the early morning), and end close to sunset in time for the Scourge to make their appearance.

This is the 'safer' event of the set in the sense that anyone may participate without fear of getting hurt unless they trip and fall, or have an unintentional accident themselves. The Phantoms only appear when its dark, so during the day everyone is safe meaning that even if you don't have a character that can fight, you can still play along.

Realistically, most of Tethys's allies (warband) won't be there just yet, so any Stormborn that participates in this particular event will most likely have been passing by or simply visiting during another Viking that isn't associated with Tethys's current conquest!

As always, everyone may participate.

*******************************

Starts:
2nd December 2017 (12:00 PST)

Duration:
Until a winner is determined!

How to Play
This event will be compromise of two parts, an 'opening' and then a 'chase'.

Catching the Scent:
  • Roll 1-10 sided dice.
  • Match any of the last three numbers on the opening post.
  • When you have matched the number, quote Epine de Rose in your next post to cue the second part of the event.
  • Wait until I've given the go-ahead to continue (this is the adminy bit so I don't miss anything!)
  • Once I'm all caught up, we'll move on to part two.


The Chase:
  • In order to complete the chases the participants must hit 500 'points'
  • To do this, you will need to roll 1 10-sided dice each time you post.
  • You and the other participants will tally up the totals, you are working as a team of hunters!
  • You must wait for one person to post before you can post again.
  • I may increase the point tally if you're all too good with your rolls, this is just to make sure everyone can achieve five posts and get credit for a full RP where possible.
  • When the point total has been reached, quote me!
  • Wait... because we like waiting right now for adminy stuff.
  • If the point total has been reached and the majority of people have successfully managed to achieve five posts in this time, then I'll run the raffle and announce the winner.


**************************

Additional Little Terms
Just to keep everyone right, there's some little caveats for this event which are really just here to help people along during the RP part of it...
  • Wait for someone to post before you post again.
  • You need to post more than a sentence please, this will help other people respond to you! (A paragraph is fine, no essays required).
  • Don't delete posts.
  • In this game you won't really glimpse a phantom until the tail end of it, simply due to how the timeline for this event and the invasion event fall.

User Image It was crazy to think that this pride had been so peaceful for so long. No one would have ever thought something like this could have even been possible. At least she hadn't thought it would be given how peaceful the pride was in general. Still, here they were. One of their own dead and she was determined to at least help find the culprit who had committed such a heinous act.

The news that they had been attacked and one of their own was dead had hit Kaluwa hard. He was still reeling at the thought that this once peaceful, serene place was now the target of sinister foes at hand. It left a bitter taste in his mouth, with a large side of guilt to complete the awful combination. His mind raced with 'what ifs' that no one could answer. What if they had more guards that night? What if they hadn't been so relaxed?

What if they hadn't invited so many unknown and proven violent visitors to their doorstep?

It was unhealthy way of thinking, he knew. But they were still thoughts that plagued his mind as he pushed forward along with the others in the investigation. Now wasn't the time to doubt their leadership or previous choices, now was the time to focus and slam all of their noses to the grindstone to get this mystery figured out.

They had to find this monster, and they had to do it quickly, least another innocent person lost their life.

Peace was always such a fickle thing and though the goddess had known very little chaos in her life she knew of it. So when the pride had discovered the body of a murdered lion she held her own, if not for her, then for the sake of her many children. It was during this bit of chaos that she learned her children would be participating in helping to find some evidence of the tragic event, this didn't sit well with Krisis, but she knew well enough to know that there would be no talking her brood out of what they intended to do. There was no way of knowing they'd even find anything, none had been determined to be great hunters.

"You should have gotten me." The tone she carried was stern and alert when she approached her daughter. Her little wings were pressed tightly at her sides and she looked dashing as ever, not a hair out of place. "Times like these you shouldn't wander." Even as the words left her lips she knew that she sounded foolish, this was the Bahari! The pride had handled itself over many moons and this would be no different, but she couldn't help picturing the dainty lioness before her doubled over in a pool of brightly colored blood. The sands would bathe in it, in her mind, causing a sickly picture against the horizon. The horror struck mother narrowed her orange-red eyes, but became silent while she turned her attentions to the task at hand.

just because


She frowned as she looked towards her mother. "I didn't want to worry you too much, though you are right mother." She said feeling a bit of some defeat for having not getting her sooner. Though she really just wanted to get on the trail of this murderer and find some justice. She was larger than the average lion so she wasn't afraid of what they might be capable of doing. She could handle her own in the worst of it, not that she'd ever had to before.

"Why would someone do such a terrible thing?" She knew her mother might not have the answer but still, it was just outrageous to her that someone could be so cruel.

Worry her?! Krisis was struck dumb by the response she received from her daughter. "How could you think that simply coming here would worry me less?" If her eyes hadn't already been narrowed she would have done so while looking in the direction of the individual causing her such distress. Her attitude was burdened with worry, why would this be any different. "Of course I'm right." Krisis mumbled under her breath and rolled her eyes while wondering if she had been this bad - probably.

"I'm not sure, Azariel." Though her mind was swirling with ideas of her own she wasn't about to share them with her child. "Evil lions do strange things for strange reasons - including, but not limited to murder." She very nearly hissed the word as she spoke. Each word was getting harsher and harsher. If she didn't explain it with words she would explain in tone. There was evil and those that embodied it out there.

But this was still the Bahari. The young mothers mind couldn't seem to get passed that.

She wasn't a cub anymore, she could very well do things herself. Though given what had happened recently, it was understandable her mother was a little on edge.

"Well, I wasn't about to stand by and do Nothing. " she was almost offendedby her mother's words, what was she supposed to do? Hide somewhere? That wasn't gonna happen.

It was painstakinglyclear how her mother felt. "Where is everyone else?" She suspected under lock and key.

Click to show.Jirru had been wandering about the lands as usual,but had stopped here briefly on her way through. the clan had been... forgiving enough not to attempt her on-sight demise, and even seemed willing to grant her passage. shed quite been enjoying her passage through and the safety of the clan when... well... this happened.

The cheetah took care to maintain enough distance from the scene that she couldnt be offhandedly accused of fault, but a nagging curiousity made her eager to see how things played out. she heard others talking nearby, quietly overheard their ideas and thought processes, but it didn't seem to be gettinganything done, yet. "so...does anyone recognize him?" she murmured sideways, to the pair quietly chiding one another. miss wings seemed a little more upset about something vaguely unrelated, but Jirru wasnt about to call notice to herself.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.He had insisted they stick together. Nahodha’kota had lived here most of his adult life, he had raised his children here, he had guarded the borders and he had protected the peaceful life within. He had lived through several disasters, the heartbreak of his one true love passing away and several leaders taking over, but he had always been here. This was home and the horrendous actions that had taken place here, well, he was not best pleased. When he heard a search party was forming the jet black male, whos size made him seem formidable had called together several of his children and grand children to join the search.

He had, however, insisted that they stick together. All of his children were on the large size, he himself was hardly a slouch though the years showed on his mane where once it was blacker than coal now it was peppered with white. Most of this formidable size came from him and from Khepri, his ex-firekin mate passed along her giant gene and it was usually a defining characteristic of the extensive family even if their colours had diverged a lot. “Stay close together and search carefully children.” He called from the back of the pack of giants.


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Vuai walked at the front of the group, he was the eldest of Nahodha’Kota children and he bore nothing but the red black and white of his mother and father. He had also gained his sheer size from his parents and though his father was massive Vuai had, since adulthood, stood a good couple of inches above his father and he was built as a firekin was with a body of muscle and sinew. It meant he looked very intimidating. He had spent his whole life here and followed his fathers example of becoming a guard. He had watched the borders every day of his life and he felt it was his mission to track down who had done the evil deed upon their peaceful shore.

Not too far behind Vuai trucked the equally sizeable very curly maned male Poseidon. Though his fur was mostly black and white he had gained some colour from his paternal grandmother and donned some soft pink. This really didn’t make him look any less than the giant he was. Though he was softer in his features than his older brother he was no less upset about the horrors that had come to their shore. He had been happy to follow his siblings lead though and followed his brother and father without hesitation.

The final male in the party was Triton, the youngest of the family, his pale coat made him stand out like a sore thumb against the black of his relatives. He was hardly any smaller than his grandfather, great uncle or great grandfather but he was the least experienced. He was the youngest and had been positioned almost at the back of the small group. He was however glad to have been included in the party. His mother had wanted to come along on the little expeditions and though she was far more formidable than any male, their patriarch had asked her to protect the cubs. His mother was good at that. She would protect the weak and the young, while they tracked down the evil doers.

Not too far above the large lions a flock of varying sized birds fluttered.

The first a raven with pale wings and a dark face his sharp eyes ear Hing the horizon. He occasionally let out a caw and all clear while his wings drifted along on updrafts.

The second had feathers as blue as the sea on a summers day, the vulture alighted upon the red maned lions head and ruffled his feathers grumpily “Nothin Yet Vuai.” He mumbled clicking his long beak in a distasteful manner.

The third a tiny red bird flitted in and out of rocks occasionally coming to rest in Poseidon’s mane where she would whisper in his ear before flittering off again.

Coburnycus was hardly the sort of male to be out and about searching for a murderer, but when the call had come out he had risen to the task. A lot of lions, and other creatures seemed to be out searching so it felt like he was a bit out of place. Still, he wanted to make Anya proud so he had come out to find out who had hurt a member of the pride he now called home, of course, he had no idea where to start and that was the problem. He considered following another lion and help them, that might be the best bet. With that in mind he scanned the beach for someone to tag along with.

((If anyone wants to have a convo with any of my guys just tag me ^^! They don’t bite honest XD!))

User ImageKawai tried not to tremble too badly as she approached a group of lions that were on the hunt for the murderer. As a daughter of the rulers of the pride she felt as though she had to help at least a bit in searching for those responsible, but the blue lioness was nearly frozen with fear at the thought that someone had been so bold as to waltz into their lands and murder a lion. She had hoped their neighbors in the jungle, the Kizi, might lend a paw in helping them figure out who had done it, but so far she hadn't spotted any of the light-hearted lions. Perhaps word hadn't spread yet.

She shuffled her way over to Kaluwa who looked far more confident than she felt, her shoulder brushing his even as she tried to keep a little personal space between her and the lion.

"Has anyone found anything yet?" she asked in a near whisper, whipping her head to the side as she heard a twig snap in the trees. After some staring she spotted a bird hopping about in the branches, pecking at little twigs and breaking them for its nest, and she let out a little sigh of relief.

Litanu was on the lookout as well and spotted his new mate not too far away. Walking over to her and the lions she was walking near he gave her a reassuring smile. "No sign of the intruder yet?" He asked in a semi-worried tone. While they were a new couple he wasn't sure how he felt about the whole thing, let alone what she must be going through given her status in he pride.

A familiar voice caught her attention and Kawai turned, a little burst of relief running through her as she spotted Litanu. As he approached she lowered her head to press her forehead into his chest, seeking comfort from her mate. They had made the title official not long ago between one another and, while they hadn't had a ceremony yet, she was glad to have been claimed by one as handsome and kind as the young male.

"I haven't seen anything yet," she said quietly, eyes resting on a strange cheetah she hadn't seen before. It would be rather bold of the murderer to join the search so she shrugged off any worry and called out to her.

"You didn't see any suspicious characters on your way in from the rogue lands, did you?" she asked.
