"How can we do that without getting its attention?" asks Stanley. "If it notices us, we'll be next."

Re: Day 1: Flying in
The whirlwind accelerates, then Antal's tent is propelled out of the spinning column, landing with a loud crash, audible even over the roaring of the wind... The investigators can only pray that Antal dies on impact.
Stanley & Harry, roll Sanity (0/1)!

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Stanley's eyes go wide. "He might have survived," he says, "in which case he'll need help. Cover me!" He heads out to where the tent crashed to see if there's anything he can do for Antal - and to retrieve his shotgun.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
The events of the day, culminating in the manifestation of the malevolent force that rules Sukakpak, finally get to the brave state trooper, Stanley Kramer. Instead of rushing to Antal's help as intended, he stops and stands paralyzed for a second, then turns to face Harry. His eyes are bloodshot, his pupils widened.
The column of the whirlwind towers menacingly over the camp, about 30 feet from the investigators, but doesn't move in any direction, as if waiting for something. A weird, sweet smell fills the air.

In the forest Jeff takes another shot of whiskey. To think coming out here to Sukakpak had seemed like it would be a nice break from all the problems at home...

"You ok Stanley? Try and keep it together buddy. Help is on it's way."
Re: Day 1: Flying in
Without a word, Stanley stalks over to where he saw Antal fall, but with a different purpose. He is certain that Harry is too weak to shoot him in the back. His own shotgun lies where Antal has fallen, and it is a real weapon...a Hunter's weapon. With that in his hands, no prey is safe.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Stanley, seemingly unfazed by Harry pointing the weapon at him, walks over to the tent, and starts untangling the mess.
Harry watches with caution. He cannot assess the Trooper's condition, nor can he predict the whirlwind's actions. He is afraid that it will pick up and crush the Trooper just as it did with Antal's tent. The whirlwind starts moving, not towards Stanley, but rather circling in one place, leaving a spiraling furrow in the soft, muddy earth.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
With an uncanny calmness, Stanley breaks open the shotgun and loads a fresh shell into the empty barrel.

Harry immediately dashes in the opposite direction towards tree cover, using the light attached to the shotgun. Once he's in the thick of it (not too far), he'll turn off the light and hide, waiting to see what Stanley does.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Seeing Harry flee into the woods, Stanley follows him with grim determination, shotgun held ready. The hunt has begun.

Despite appearances, Harry seems to have luck on his side.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
The part of the forest where the investigators all end up in is made up mostly of pine trees, many of them centuries old, magnificent, ancient behemoths. The ground (slightly soggy in places from the rain) is covered in fallen needles, and there isn't much undergrowth. An awful, eerie silence descends on the forest.
The night is dark, the Moon only a waning crescent.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Stanley stalks doggedly after his Prey. He does not use any light himself. The darkness is his friend. Why give away his position? It may take him longer to catch his Prey, but he is a patient Hunter.

Re: Day 1: Flying in
Thanks to the darkness, Stanley is able to move undetected.

Harry reaches for a stone and throws it in the general direction away from himself & Jeff, taking care to be as quiet as possible..
