Rangering!, Friday, Period Four [ 08/21 ].
As the class headed in today, they'd find the usual clearing set up in the Danger Shop had a large river nearby, skirting around a large outcropping of rock, with the usual choices of weaponry and armourments available to the students. Minsc clasped his hands together with a loud sound to get things started.
"Hullo!" he said. "It is our last day! So let's do some rangering!"
His arm swept toward the long bring going across the river. "Behold!" he said. "Behind those rocks, there be gnolls! I did not have the chance this semester to show off what a gnoll really is, so allow me to do so now!"
With that, a large, growling creature stepped forward, looking (and smelling) like an unfortunate cross between a very tall and skinny human and a tall and skinny hyena. "This," Minsc said, "is a gnoll, and they are my personal favourite enemy. So I have studied them lots. Take notes! You might encounter one today and since we are rangers, we must know their weaknesses, which include..."
Minsc lead them through a very quick and very happy-go-lucky bloody demonstration on how a gnoll is best taken care of by stabbing them in the chest here, hacking off there kneecaps there, and sometimes slicing through the head. Pity those among the class with weak stomachs.
With the gnoll messily disposed of, Minsc continued his speech as he cleaned his blade. "Go it alone, in pairs, or in groups, however you like, but you must journey into the gnoll stronghold in these mountains and save the captive within before they are eaten! There are three steps to this: the wilderness, which you must cross, which will be rife with all sorts of creatures and gnoll guards. Then you must find your way through the mountains themselves to find the place, and then you must infiltrate the stronghold and rescue the captive."
There was then a pause, as Minsc looked confused. He started counting carefully on his fingers.
"Wait. Four parts. You have to get it, but you have to escape, too! Any questions! Ask away! If not, then, gear up and get rangering!"
[[ apologies for the later than usual class!Please wait for OCD is totally buttkicking for goodness, and please check the OOC note if you get the chance! ]]

OOC! -- 08/21.
And this is the first quest we go on with Minsc in the game, huzzah!
A few notes:
--Feel free to mod as much as you want, as always. Skip parts even if you want. Or even just skip right to the aftermath and write up just a little thing about how your character did.
--OR, if you want, I have a series of interactions in mind for any of the above scenarios. Just please include an ooc note in your tag to let me know if you want interaction.
--This is especially true for rescuing your captive, as Minsc has plenty of ... interesting NPCs programmed in to interact with your character as they try to save them (mwa ha ha).
--HAVE FUN! I should be around the rest of the day thanks to radio.
--I LOVE THIS CLASS AND WILL MISS IT! You guys are all so very, very awesome.
