"Thank you, Chief. I'm honored to receive them," Megana smiles as she graciously accepts the items and puts them on; hoping to warm up."

Vi also thanks the Chief, "Thank you for these. May I request that we get our armor out of the APC? Our armors would be an added layer against the cold and in turn a potentially better hunt."

The Chief nods, intensely contemplating Vi's question as he rubs his chin. He then looks back at them, nodding more, "Normally, I would say no because the armor make too much noise and scare away the game. I'll allow it this time because the armor will scare the deer towards camp." The Chief nods towards Ant, "Go with old WolfBane," pointing at Dusty, "Help him fetch their armors. We must begin preparations."

As the Chief sits on his own carved log chair, several of the women bring in wooden platters of nugget sized cooked meat. Vi and Megana find the aroma actually delicious. Who'd have thought that a wolf might taste okay? Well, it depends on the level of hunger. They begin passing out two nuggets of meat to everyone, including Vi and Meg. The Chief keeps four extra nuggets, "Ant and WolfBane will need some as well." He smiles at anyone who'd shot him an accusing stare.

Dusty and Ant return with a bulging rucksack, holding Megana's plastic armor and Vi's Huntsman armor. As the rucksack is opened up, frost begins to instantly form on their armors from the sudden temperature shift. Many of the children in the room express wonder at the high technology of the armor. Built in translators, temperature and environmental controls and made of super dense compounds, protecting the wearer from lethal attacks. Dusty rarely wears armor though. He says it restricts his speed and can tend to be noisy.

OOC: Guys plan to eat the food and get dressed?

Vi smiles ," thank you for allowing us to use our armor and for the food ."
Vi takes her food and eats quietly, then takes off the furs and put her armor on then puts the furs on over the armor.

Megana quietly eats and then gets her plastic armor but she puts it on under her outer wear to muffle the sound "thank you chief for the food and allowing us to use our armor"

Vi smiles, "Thank you for allowing us to use our armor and for the food," Vi takes her food and eats quietly, the wolf is actually quite tasty. She then dons her armor, followed by covering it with the furs.

Megana quietly eats, which she finds rather tasty, and then dons the plastic armor under the furs to muffle sound, "Thank you, Chief, for the food and allowing us to use our armor."

Dusty's eyebrow raises as he shakes his head. The Chief notices and then laughs, then says something in Native American. Dusty answers back and they both begin heartily laughing. They exchange a few more words before Dusty approaches the girls, "Stretch before you go out there. You're muscles may cramp from shivering so much. We're going to go back to the same spot that we were earlier to wait for the deer to go by. At that point, we'll try to kill one or two, but ultimately, we want to scare them this way. We'll leave Thunder in camp this time. "

Dusty slides some of his furs back on, "Tomorrow, we're digging up the snow so that Thunder can eat, and it will attract the game. So it's important that we get at least two deer to feed us all and have energy to dig." He reaches a hand out for each of the girls, offering to help them up, "Let's get moving!"

The Chief calls something out in their language as all of the men throw on some warm furs and grab their hunting gear.

OOC: Megana has achieved level 2

Vi accepts Dusty's help up, "Why are you two laughing? I figure that we might be able to bring in a better hunt," she smiles as she checks her gear and tests her sparks.

Megana gets up and focus on the hunt..."alright time for round 2..."

Vi accepts Dusty's help up, "Why are you two laughing? I figure that we might be able to bring in a better hunt," she smiles as she checks her gear and tests her sparks.

Megana also rises, ready to hunt, "Alright, time for round two."

Dusty grins, "Inside joke, Violet. Come, we have some deer to catch," he leads the two back into the cold after they don their helmets. Both Megana and Vi notice the difference. Besides the wind pushing them from the west, it's not cold at all.

The trio breaks away from the main tribe and crosses the frozen river. They find the tree that they'd climbed earlier and notice that the wind has either blown away their tracks or buried them. They climb up it and wait. Dusty has to keep reminding them to be quiet. When he isn't doing that, he seems to be meditating, unaffected by the cold.

After a few hours of pure boredom, hunger and trying not to fall out of the tree, Megana spots the shapes of about a dozen deer through the haze of blowing snow. She taps Dusty and Vi, silently pointing towards the approaching deer. She's careful to move slowly as most of the deer are facing their direction and haven't seemed to notice them. Dusty holds his fist up, signifying to stay put and not move a muscle. His intimidating, yet determined gaze focuses on the last deer, hoping they don't notice the three.

OOC: Plans? Actions?

Vi looks where megana points at , and now looks carefully . vi sits and practices her mental power that dusty has taught her in the apc on a small clump of snow.

She holds still waiting for dusty as she holds her pistol waiting to aim and fire...mentally calculating where she needs to fire to get a killshot in.

Vi follows where Megana's pointing, faintly spotting the deer. She tries to practice her newly acquired mental power against a clump of snow, but is unsure if the wind did it or she did.

Megana holds still, waiting for Dusty's signal as she steadily aims, remembering what he'd said about distracted aiming, preparing for a kill shot.

The deer walk underneath, following each other as the trio mentally count how many pass... fifteen. Dusty opens his hand, signaling to move. Unfortunately, the deer, somehow hyper aware of their surroundings, also see it.

OOC: Actions! They have a +2 initiative bonus in this situation
