13 non-native 'game' waited in cages for the electronic latch to spring, waited to fight for their lives, deep at the dead ends of separate caverns underground. The minotaurs were loaded into the labyrinth, every inch the monsters to be slaughtered. For fun. For a challenge.

Hunters on the field waited at ground level, just beyond the inner gate. These lucky sports were armed to the teeth with their choice of weapons, traps and personal gear, several thousand dollars sunken into their one-of-a-kind safari.

At noon, Spencer's lazy drawl crackled over an old PA system. It wasn't his priority to replace, unlike the rest of his land, which was carefully groomed for the thrill of the hunt, laden with diverse environments and an inventive love for the chase that only a territorial game warden could manufacture on this scale.

He didn't need to start things with a flourish. He was laconic that way, grinning as he struck a match on his teeth and lit his pipe, leaning back in his chair with eyes on his camera feeds. Time for a show.

"Okay, Ladies. Gentlemen. Load and move out. Lets get this hunt underway."

He lifted a rifle onto his shoulder, and turned to the open window on his left, squinting at a squirrel which has perched on a post outside the lodge.

He lets them repopulate. There's nothing like popping squirrels off your porch.

...or starting the hunt off officially with a bang.


[OOC: Tagging order is totally open, and setting elements are varied. We fully intend there to be damage to the grounds. [ACTION] style logging is perfectly fine, considering how large a group this is, but prose style works too. Split up or group together! Threadhop and run into others if you want as well.

Basic weapons (knives, spears, stone bludgeons, axes, etc) can be found here and there to give the hunted a 'fair' chance.

The hunting grounds are all very nearly man made, through the flora has taken over the top part over the years. It has elements of forest/jungle, sand traps, caves, a small lake, fields and other hiding places. It also has about 4 stories of underground tunnels, caves, bunkers, rooms with strange settings and endless paths one could take. Feel free to point out your own interesting location if needed, seeing as he’s had time to build it all up in this place.

Nighttime Survivors face a whole new element after siren. Darkness-mutated exotic wild animals, ranging from polar bears, tigers, buffalo, wolves, gorillas, anacondas and white rhinos populate the grounds. Human mutation prowl the night too, casualties of other hunts like yours. Good luck!]

[Once Sherlock emerges from the tunnels and settles into a patch of foliage, he slows his pace from a run to a more cautious, but still brisk, walk. He stays close to a climbable tree as often as possible, and the knife he grabbed is still in his hand, whittling a stick down to a sharp edge for a spare weapon.

While he keeps an eye on the treeline, his attention is also occupied by the ground. Several fresh sets of tracks are on the trail, but none yet that match John's. Or Spencer's, for that matter; he'd seen the keyring at the man's belt. It clearly had something to do with the collars, judging by the shape of the teeth and the scanner to match the barcodes Sherlock made out on his in a puddle underground. But that quickly went to the backburner of his mind when the clearer trails of the forest split into two.

The first is riddled with signs of life. Perhaps too many: Broken twigs, footprints, not to mention the scent of someone's bath soap who had the privilege to bathe in the past twenty four hours. The other way is slightly overgrown, with more paw prints on the ground. That risk seems more worth taking at the moment. Still, Sherlock starts down the beaten path, but stops to remove his blazer. It would only slow him down in the heat and under duress. For a vain moment he's relieved he wasn't wearing his coat when they were captured. Sherlock leaves it on the ground as a false trail for whoever might come this way later, then heads down the other way.

And if he's being watched? Well, they wouldn't have an easy time of this trail either, at least.]
