Rangering!, Friday, Period Five [ 06/12 ].

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, class!" Today, they would find themselves being greeted by their brusque teacher in the usual Danger Shop clearing, although the woods seemed a bit thicker, the rocky bits rockier, and there was the sound of a waterfall and a river off in the distance, which spilled out into the sea. It was all very pretty.

"Today we are working on two very important ranger skills! Tracking, and plant finding!" He started to hand out some papers, which were probably pretty helpful and full of information, but Minsc would not be offended if anyone made paper planes or blew their noses in them...because they had a lot of information on them and reading was hard. "Being able to recognize signs of creatures in the area recently might be a big difference between a successful raid or being eaten by a bear! And knowing the difference between a plant that can a heal and a plant that can give you explosive stomach pains is very good, too! You'd be surprised how similar they make some of those! So please look over the material, ask any questions if you've got them, and I'd like you to pair up, go into the woods, and start tracking! Try to find the lair of a creature or monster hidden in these woods, and then try to locate at least three bad plants and three good plants! When you are done, you may work on your sparring or target practise. Now go!"

During the Talking Bits! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Because talking bits are just a part of life.

It was rather sad altogether that Sir Minsc's class - barring Sir Minsc's attacks of fancy - were the highlight of Arthur's week. Especially now, since tracking was something he did pretty bloody well - it was just that there was no game at all.

He was hence looking rather eager to get to the exercises.

Reading was hard, yes. Which was why as usual Firekeeper ignored any bits of paper that might have made themselves her way. She also found herself wondering whether Blind Seer counted as a partner or not.

Tahiri quietly went over the handouts, a little too intent on studying them as thoroughly as possible.

Ben spent most of his time concentrating on the handouts, though his hand did sneak up to yank at the braid he didn't have any more.

Start your Tracking! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Find yourself a partner and head into the woods. What you find is entirely moddable, so have fun with it.

Re: Start your Tracking! -- 06/12.

Arthur didn't exactly need a partner, which was why he was already halfway into the woods before he came to a stop - to examine something that looked an awful lot like stag tracks.

"Is too bad," Firekeeper commented conversationally, "these is not quite real."

Re: Start your Tracking! -- 06/12.

[weetuskenraider]

This was so very not the kind of tracking Tahiri was used to, for multiple reasons (mostly related to terrain and technique and, well, entirely different kinds of creatures). She'd give it her best shot anyway.

Re: Start your Tracking! -- 06/12.

[momslilassassin]

Ben bit his lip when he noticed she needed a partner.

Sparring! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Because it's important to keep your fighting skills up! And Minsc just likes to have a class with a lot of fighting in it.

Target Practise! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Minsc also likes to keep your targeting skills honed, so the little range has been set up again this week, too.

Re: Target Practise! -- 06/12.

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn loves this part of class.

Re: Target Practise! -- 06/12.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri decided it would be a good idea to forgo sparring this week in favor of target practice, so she grabbed a bow with the heaviest draw weight she could handle, a few dozen arrows, and headed for a target.

She was a little intense today, and improving rapidly at this. Okay, a lot intense.

Talk to the TAs! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Follow their tracks to them!

Re: Talk to the TAs! -- 06/12.

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Prince Edward was there. He was always there!

Talk to Minsc! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

Whose tracks are very large! You know what they say about people with large tracks...

...large boots!

Re: Talk to Minsc! -- 06/12.

[bitchprince]

"Sir Minsc?"

Arthur had an inquiry, yes.

Re: Talk to Minsc! -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yes," Minsc nodded to the boy, "Sir Arthur, what is up?"

OOC -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

I have nothing witty to insert here. Woe.

Re: OOC -- 06/12.

[weetuskenraider]

GRUE!!!!! :D

Re: OOC -- 06/12.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

I should do a class on them one of these days. Who cares if it's an entirely different fandom?
