Event Planners, MC Names: Any Event Team member willing to pitch in. Event Type: Hunting and monster killing. Event Date: Any time after it's implimentation, it will ideally be a constant event resource. Factions/Nations effected by the event: Arcane Delvers, Marked men, and any group with a taste for monster-hunting. Event Location: Anywhere, though it will ideally center around Cloud Temple Summary: Throughout the cloud temple, the sounds of a hammer can be heard, echoing off the mountains of the valley. An old man appears to be setting in the stakes for a rather large, thick, wooden noticeboard. The board in question is laying tilted on a rock nearby, and appears to already have bounties pinned to it. These bounties, strangely, are not for people, but for monsters that are plaguing the landscape. Some are just cries for help from the local villagers, others even have a small reward involved. It is up to the players to organize groups of warriors to go out into Anthos to slay these great beasts.
The posters are of all shape and sizes, and they plaster the board, unto the point where they begin to overlap one another. Deep, underneath some of the newer postings, you find one or two jobs that no one dares touch. Some beasts are great, but one or two are legendary. The creator save the few individuals reckless enough to participate on these quests. Concept Images/Screenshots:

((Ideally, I'd like the ET to set up a board in cloud-temple that lists monsters that can be fought. The monsters themselves are ET actors, who will post bounties for the monsters that they'd like to play in the fight. Groups of players will apply to take on any given contract, and if the ET actor accepts them, a time will be arranged for hunting the monster down the monster where it was reported, and fighting them in a battle to the death.
Two things must be done to Organize this medley of monsters and Mayhem to make matters organized.
First, Hunter registrations. Groups of 5 players can apply for a hunter permit, by, ideally, sending me a PM. These groups of 5 will be headed by 1 leader, who will decide who will be on the team itself, in the case of absences. I think it would be acceptable to never let it raise beyond 5 groups of 5. If there is more than that, the bounty board will look quite empty indeed! However, if this event Idea becomes successful and we have many actors helping, I could even raise it to 10 groups of 5.
If any group is inactive for more than, say, a month, their registration will be removed.
Second, a spreadsheet will be kept, recording the activity of hunting groups. Newer groups will be given preference on easier hunts. Older and more successful groups will be given preference on harder hunts. Who will hunt will be decided on by the ET ultimately, though it will be encouraged that they give preference to active groups who were denied a hunts in the past.
"Legendary beasts" can be added at the ET's own leisure. By nature, monsters that are harder to kill will eventually make themselves known to be mighty, growing in strength with every failed hunt.))
Sample Hunting Registration Application:
Group Name:
Group leader (IC name and MC Username):
Group Members (List 4, IC name and MC Username):
Describe your group. What is your group's experience with killing Monsters? How were you founded? Etc. Detail is preferred.
Who will be organizing this?
Either the ET can keep track of this, or if they are ever pressed for helpers, I can keep track of it myself. Either way is entirely fine by me.
Do you need the Event Team's assistance?: Yes, I'll need all the support and people the event team can supply. Yes, all of them, because the more monsters and quests are on the board, the more questing can be done! If so, do you require actors and/or builders?: Actors. Just actors.
I will add more to this post later, stay tuned and tell me what you think!
