Hunting 101 - Class 4 (Wednesday period 7)

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they found themselves standing on the side of a deserted highway at night time.



John was leaning against the same black car from the last time. "Welcome to Lone Pine Highway. The one mile stretch beginning just past that curve has had an inordinate amount of disappearances, going back decades. There have also been stories, told by people who've travelled this highway, about seeing a dark sinister figure on a black horse. Some of the stories go so far as to talk about the figure galloping after them brandishing a sword. Digging deeper into the area's local folklore, you would find a tale of a highwayman hung on a tree somewhere along this road back in Colonial times. His bones are said to be buried among the roots of the tree.

"Your assignment is to lay this ghost to rest without getting yourselves killed or injured." He looked around at the gathered students seriously. "Unlike the last ghost you faced, this one is very aggressive and dangerous and will attack you on sight. Keep that in mind and act accordingly.

"Also unlike last week, I'm allowing you to decide how to group yourselves in going after this ghost. You can pair up with whom you will, or even go in groups of three or four, or if you're feeling particularly brave -- or foolhardy -- you can attempt this alone. Although," John smiled slightly, "I wouldn't reccomend the latter.

"You'll find a large assortment of weapons and equipment in the trunk of this car; when you have chosen your group, choose what you think you'll need to defend yourselves and get the job done."

John leaned back against the hood of the car with a grin. "If there are no questions, you may begin when ready."

"I imagine biting them would not be fortuitous either." She picked up a bag of salt and placed it into her pocket. "I have not one objection to it."

"Great." Blair looked over the trunk for the least lethal forms of weapons and ended up taking salt and a frying pan. "Do you think we can lay the ghost to rest without killing it?"

Luna stared at him for a very long, possibly uncomfortable moment, because that's what Luna's do.

"It is already ...dead."

"So we don't want to kill it twice." Blair raised an eyebrow. "We can try talking."

Luna considered Professor Binns back home and thought that perhaps it was possible for ghosts to have a second death.

"Talking." Luna nodded and spoke in a sing-song manner, "and salting and burning and passing (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1213188.html?thread=70888452#t70888452)..."
