Slaying Monsters In 4.0

[Delrof 381]

I'm sure most of you know about the Large Monsters built in 4.0 such as the Giant Crabs, Worms etc. And I was thinking, what if we could RP killing them? Or fighting them at least. Me and my friend thought this was quite a Cool idea, so we tried it out. We went to the Beach Area near the Kha place and we rped fighting one, we did the Crabs emotes with [!] and I rolled twice, first role was for my character the second for the Crab, we eventually killed the Crab, and it was actually a really fun experience, but I wish there was a Better system for killing them perhaps? And maybe we could get a 'Trophy' after killing them, me and my friend Decided to take its Claw and mount it on our Wall. Also I'd like to know if anyone else has thought of doing this?

This has been very popular on the last two maps. Generally it fell on the event teams shoulders, although there were larger events that GMs orchestrated like a boat voyage that resulted in giant sea monster attacks totally destroying the ship and killing tons of people.

[Delrof 381]

Oh I see, so because of this, would we still be allowed to Rp killing the Monsters ourselves? Using our own methods? Or would that be against the Rules, and I'm only talking about the pre-built ones.

[Ever 2648]

I don't see why that'd be a problem. As long as there ain't any weird rules being broken, I think it sounds awesome and more power to you!

You mean the giant megalodon...that thing was nutz,with a z. Took giant chunks out of the 3 masted giant galleon we had...we barely managed to limp back to dock.

 

There are small groups of people, and some individuals who have spent their time to have small events with the help of the ET to hunt such creatures. I intend to do one soon, likely tomorrow, to hunt a beast I learned of through one of the actual lore books they went and hid. I'll let you know if your on and we are doing the event so you can come along and see what such an event is like. After if you enjoyed it you should feel free to seek out the beasts that have been spread around the map and set up events to hunt them with a gm. Perhaps they will bring back the hunt board with its list of great monsters.

 

 

In general having an et with you to do it is good because they can represent the monster and if you manage to kill it you can ask them nicely to give you a few items to represent the kill like the beasts pelt, and there are collectors who will buy such.

As an avid roleplayer of monster hunting, most things offer trophies or rewards for killing, but that was at the event team's discretion. And roleplay fighting a creature doesn't have to be luck based, currently we have three dens we need to stalk out for Harpies, Ghouls and a giant monkey respectively. LotC has always had a monster hunting element, you just need to know where to look.

If you really like monster hunting and such, you could always join the marked. As we try to get events in daily. But you could always call some event team person or a gm to role play the monster.
