Reckon sighed, stretching out her sore limbs as she set out for another day of hunting Nukap. The colony had gotten reports of a golden-pelted Nukap roaming nearby, and Reckon had instantly taken it as a challenge. If it was anything like how it was described, it's pelt would fetch a pretty penny on the market. Reach, however, had rolled her eyes at the rumours. "Such Nukap don't exist." She said, her tone hinting that this might turn into a scolding. "You shouldn't believe just anythi...

Four figures made their way through the dense swampy region of L'Hatzif, searching for signs of a wild nukap sounder. Though they'd tracked hoofprints for a ways, the prints had disappeared when the group encountered a particularly wet area where the waters completely covered the ground. As it was, they walked through ankle deep water, forced to use other means to track their prey. Cellex splashed happily in the water. Her shorter legs meant the water was nearly up to her belly, and sh...
[Trade] Tricky Nukap Tracking

((Hidden from the burning sun by an overhanging shelf of rock, Orion, Marchus, and Sagitta made a plan. They had arrived early in the morning, before dawn and well before the day could warm into its full Issiq heat, but they had not found a single one of their intended prey.)) Now late afternoon, the trio had grown tired and frustrated after checking every source of water in the region. Plenty of animals were spotted, but none were nukap, which the picky aerobic royals had specifically req...

Reckon sighed. Over in L'hatzif there was apparently a sudden rise in Nukap numbers. After a local rancher had passe, nobody had wanted to take over the care of the hogs, and eventually they had broken free and spread all throughout the region. Appearently this had happened earlier in the year, giving the animals plenty of time to reproduce. Colonies all over L'hatzif had been hunting them down, trying to prevent them from wrecking the ecosystem. Being one of the colony's few dedicated...

Woodland groaned in annoyance, picking up a spear that had laid besides the field she had been working on. "Get! Out!" she cursed at the small Nukap that had wandered into the field, and had been hapilly munching on some of the crops. ((Sadly, it was too late for the small plant, the Nukap having pulled off most of it leaves. What was left likely wouldn't regrow.)) Woodland frowned, as much as she hated to bring harm to living things, at this rate half her field would be gone. Koi had ...

Having grown up and lived in Issiq nearly his entire life, Carus knew far more about Jaebo that he would've like to. When he was but a whelp, his parents would constantly have to chase the Jaebo out of their vegetable garden, and over time that job got passed on to Carus. He spent a frankly embarrassing amount of his youth trying to figure out how to keep the damn critters away from his home- remaining mostly unsuccessful in his attempts. And because of that, when he heard that Jaebo w...

Hunting 01 - Nukap

Literature
((The once warm and sunny day became an almost chilly night as the primary sun slowly made its way along the sky before dipping below the horizon and throwing Mireh into darkness. The wide streets of Or'sol became dimly lit by various means but where the hunters lurked, glowstones were the primary source of soft and multicoloured light. The traps had not been set up long, however some were clearly more successful than others at catching the Hudlah - which were now making the stony ground appe...
The continued plague and a simple solution

Literature
Far'lan, his bright blue eyes scanning the ground beneath their feet, scoffed at the Hudlah that were scattering around like the plague they were upon Or'sol. The tiny creatures barely the size of a single one of his claws were barely worth his time, and yet in numbers such as these became a suddenly daunting task. Artaygo and Novato were due back at any moment with supplies needed to create makeshift traps until they could find a better and more permanent solution. ((Crates filled with...

All in all, there was really no reason for Woodland to steal. Still, she had been sent on a mission to acquire some more Nukap meat, and honestly- she just didn't have it in her to actually hunt again. She had been giving quite the strange look when she had asked to bring Fero'heart and Peridot to come along with her hunting, as neither quite had the skills that one would usually look for in good hunting companions. Both of them were sneaky though, which happened to be just what was re...

As Rose had predicted, Carus' methods of getting rid of the Huldah in the field turned out to be impressively ineffective. They had, by pure luck, managed to catch a single Huldah in the traps, but the rest had known what was up and avoided the traps entirely. This had frustrated Carus immensely, as he had been so confident that his plans would work. Reach and Rose had listened to him complain to Morgain (trough one of the tablets that allowed the headquarters and outpost to stay conne...

((A small animal, with small round ears and a long tail scurried from the room on its six legs. Moon Stone saw a flash of grey as the huldah ran from the light of the hallway. )) "I swear they are multiplying!" Moon Stone exclaimed as she flipped on the overhead lights. She saw three more of the huldah, all a different color of grey, scurrying across the empty counters and down across the floor to disappear behind some shelving. "I need these gone! How are we supposed to ha...

((Murky waters rolled lazily through tight clusters of deep tree roots, the ends of which were deceptively far under the surface. The noon day sun was in the sky overhead, but you'd never know it. The light hardly found a way to dapple the trees, and a coolness accompanied the damp region, further emphasizing the lack of sun. Despite all of this, the waters and even the clusters of land that poked up from the murky depths were full of life- if one knew where to look.)) Fortunately for the thr...

Merra, Lairi, and Devo sat together on a grassy knoll. From far away they might appear to be engaging in any ordinary conversation, but the three were furiously debating how to go about procuring a Hojenst for the strange Tark'ee that had been found deep in the bunker. They hadn't spoken to the Tark'ee themselves, but word quickly spread- not just through Tsidal, but through many of the colonies, that the brave explorers bent on delving as deep into the bunkers as possible had stumbled across...

As it turns out, Hojenst pelts fetched quite a nice price. To Morgain's suprise, the merchant he had met up with to sell the ones that the colonists had hunted near the Mireh outpost had complimented the quality of them, claiming that rarely did he find pelts this pristine.   After hearing this, the leaders of the colony had seen an opportunity. Especially since the Xunari at the outpost had noticed an overpopulation of the nearby Hojenst. Having birthed their young e...
