Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
After travelling for several hours, maintaining their heading of South by South East, you stumble across some tracks that lead across your path, though it is difficult to say if the tracks are probably heading due West instead of East. The tracks include sleds and people on foot, by the length of their strides, it does not seem as though they were fleeing.

Patrick turns the sled in the direction of the tracks.

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
After a hour or so following your tracks you can see in the distance the group ahead of you. About ten minutes later the suddenly veer off to the South.
OOC: How do you proceed and in what order are you all travelling? |

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
Patrick brings his dogs to a stop, then looks at Jesse. What do you suggest?
OOC: Can we determine how many are in the group and can we still see them as they head South? What is the ground like here? |
OOC: I had assumed that we'd probably only have a single sled, with Patrick driving and Jesse either on the sled or towed along on Ski's - but it was entirely my assumption not discussed with Pappa G. |

OK then - that's what it will be - though you will be joined soon.ghill wrote:

I have asked for the others to let me know who wants to tag along for the ride so the entry below may be edited to include others. |
The group looks to be large, say about 40+ Difficult to tell at this sort of range with any more accuracy. The ground you are covering is frozen drifts of snow and ice, the weather, although more or less permanent night is clear and frosty ... very cold. They are visible to you, although at times some of them may disappear as they disappear behind ice drifts, but the majority of the group remain visible at any given time.ghill wrote:

You suddenly hear a shout from behind you as a two man sled and skier approach. The closer they get you can recognise that the sled bears Chris and Poo-Yet-Tah with Dougal being the outrider.

Well we're here to warn the locals, so I think we should catch them up and let them know that there is something large and dangerous out here.
As he finishes speaking, he sees the dogs prick their ears and turn their heads back towards the direction they have come from, he nods at the dogs Something is coming up behind us a minute or so later the other sled appears accompanied by the shout.
Seems we have company, maybe cutting up bodies isn't as much fun as they thought.
OOC: Jesse will be riding the sled, he is happy to take turns driving the dogs |
Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
Patrick will start to move the Sled forward the figures out on the ice, trying to pick his way through the worst of the drifts. He moves slowly because he doesn't want anyone following to lose him, nor does he want those he is following to be concerned about what Patrick and Jesse's intentions are. If Patrick can get near enough he will shout at the Inuit to alert them of their presence.

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
OOC: Conroe is with the group catching up to Patrick and Jesse - That makes Chris, Poo-Yet-Tah, Conroe and (if I understand right) Dougal - If this is the case then there will be two two man sleds. Let me know if I have misunderstood. |

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
OOC: Actually, Dougal had been resting back at the base but if you're happy for him to be with the Inuit hunting group, absolutely, count him in. |

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
OOC: Are the group following the trail left by the Inuit or 'cutting across' on an intercept course? |

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
OOC: Pretty imaterial now But Patrick having seen the Inuit disappear onto the ice would have cut a path directly towards them unless the ground looked unsafe. |

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
Very conscious of the possibility of giant prehistoric sabre toothed polar bears showing up, Dougal jumps off his sled then immediately unslings and loads his shotgun. Dougal will watch all approaches but be ready to help Patrick.

OOC: That was more for how long it would take to reach the Inuit as opposed to the reasoning/positioning behind the ice splitting |

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
Dougal races over to Patrick's sled. Carefully putting down his shotgun near at hand, Dougal takes up the rope, ready to assist.
"Paddy lad, give me the word and I'm ready to help lower you down or pull you up. Are they alive down there, can you see them?"

Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
Conroe halts the sled little ahead of Patrick's sled, and starts calling loudly towards inuit group ahead for help until the group figures fade away..
Re: Part One C - Desperately Seeking Inuit
Patrick rolls over onto his back to look over at Dougal. Don't worry about pulling me up Dougal the ropes tied off on the sled, the dogs can do that for us. Best do the same to yourself with a rope tied off on your sled as well in case the ice at the edge gives way. Then I'll go down with this second rope and we can start hauling them up. I can see Chris and Poo-Yet-Tah, I'm not sure Chris made it, he looks pretty broken up. then rolling back to look down the crevasse. He shouts "Poo-Yet-Tah, can you hear me are you OK? Can you see if Chris is still alive?"

Dougal is happy to bow to local expertise. He quickly slings the old shotgun and races back to his own sled to organise ropes as Patrick suggested.
"All set!"
"All set!"

Poo-Yet-Tah does not respond, and worryingly Partick can see the ice beside his head is starting to become stained crimson.
