A stick breaks beneath your boot, as you walk through the thorny brush. You've been moving through this thick for nearly a half an hour, and yet you haven't caught sight of any beasts. You decide to rest for a moment. You prop your bolt-action rifle against a tree, and sit down. Just as you get comfortable, you hear movement. A brushing noise, not far beyond the tree you're resting against.

[~Neri]

Stay extremely still and look around.

[bsnott]

You cease all movement. Slowly, you turn your head around the tree to see what was making the noise. In the thick, thorny brush, you see a spiked hog. It's essentially a warped pig with a large, sharp spike in it's head that it uses to charge. These animals usually travel in packs, which can be deadly. Their thick skin means that it would take at least two vital organ shots to put the beast down. A kill would mean at least a week's worth of food.

Pray to Armok to guide your shot.

[bsnott]

You grab onto an overhanging branch of the tree you are positioned next to, and haul yourself up. The spiked hog notices the movement, and charges in your direction. Just as soon as you get up onto the large branch, the hog gets to the tree. It drives it's spike into the base of the tree, then pulls it out and does it again. The tree shakes, and you realize that you left your rifle at the base of the tree. The only weapon you have now is your gutting knife.

.. Why the hell did we not have a gunstrap?

What kind of moron of a protagonist are we?

[Shadestyle]

Rewind time to when you first set out on this hunting trip, remember to bring gun strap.

[bsnott]

This is no hunting trip, and you're one of the damn few people who have a gun at all.

[Shadestyle]

Don't be silly... Everything is a hunting trip if you want it to be...

[~Neri]

And we would have a gunstrap.

Like any sane person with a gun.
