Akodo Akihiko opts to participate in the hunt in deference to his honored host, although he notes the protest element with some curiosity.

With a meditative clarity, he tracks one of the big birds without issue...

Then it all went awry in seconds.

Gotcha!: Oof, no gotcha. 0 hunt points.

Mumei had no interest in hunting, but she did enjoy exploring the outdoors and was interested in seeing these rakers.

Tracking was tough, but managed. Really, just follow the huge trampled path everyone else has left until they scattered, and then look for an individual set of set of tracks.

However, Mumei wea not the stealthiest of samurai, however, and as she crept closer, tha fearsome beast took off in a screetching flurry.

nope. Startled

Shokomaru had survival training from the dojo. What he didn't like to admit is that he was horrible at it and had to retest to pass evaluation. Back home, it was easy. He knew the territory. In unfamiliar ground, he came to realize he was more or less useless if forced to do things himself, and it had crippled his confidence.

Though with some serious effort and focus, rechecking his findings multiple times, he was able to follow tells of the creature. He just wasn't paying enough attention to realize he was too close when he found it, and the little bugger took to the sky immediately with a raspy hiss.

Yet he wasn't coming back empty handed, with quick reflexes he raises his sidearm and tagged the creature as it tried to escape, it fell to the dirt unmoving. With a sigh of relief he collected it and brought back proof of success.

Just not timely or gloriously.

Kamui never gone hunting before. It's not as sporting if the animal doesn't have a gun too, but he does enjoy a good steak.

Shion is hardly a hunter... but she does try.

Focusing as much attention as she can, she manages to track down a raker. While not exactly scout material, she manages to approach the one she tracked silently enough, getting close enough to it to get a clean hit at it with her sword, dropping it and bringing it back - not the largest one by far, but it's a decent catch.

She's not sure that's exactly the best thing to do - those protesting against the actions might have a point... but well, protecting the Otori seems important as well...

D5 LM - Great Hunt. Following the Tracks. Hunting/Per TN 15. 1 VP for +1k1. Unskilled: 3d10k3 17 - Success. 1 FR for later.

D5 LM - Great Hunt. Unseen Approach. Stealth/Agi TN 15. Unskilled: 3d10k3 24 - Success. 1 FR for later

Atsumori's misgivings were temporarily forgotten, though, when he found the track of a wild raker. A big one! In an excited undertone, he described the trail signs to his hovering camera drone, steering it in close to inspect a particularly beautiful set of claw marks on a fungal branch.

"This looks like the spot. She'll be coming by here again any minute, unless I miss my guess." His grin at the camera was laced with tension, but his long experience with Foliage Cosplay didn't betray him now. Flawlessly concealed, he watched the huge raker swoop in with half of a young wild otori grasped in his claws. He lined up what should have been the perfect shot, and...

... he just couldn't. Somewhere between drawing a precise bead on the creature's batlike head and squeezing the trigger with practiced smoothness, Mori flinched. The undergrowth around his hiding place rustled softly, and the raker hopped sideways at the same moment Mori's trigger hand twitched. His shot scored a charred slash into the trunk of a giant mushroom, and the raker flapped away unharmed.

Maybe it was for the best? Which didn't make it not embarrassing to come back empty-handed (save for some decent B-roll drone footage, at least).
