PCs Involved: Vega, Arlo, Praetorum, Varlum, Elisabeth (for 1 post).
Link and Name of thread: The Broiling Lagoon
Summary: Vindy called Vega to help find a gubbins, Daia was there and said that one of her cubs was there and was being kinda brainwashed by the Big Bad. Daia, Vindy, Ralaith etc all said "you'll have to kill the cub" but Vega was determined that nope, nope, we're not doing that. We didn't. Lots of teamwork later and the baddie has a caved-in face and the cub is back with Daia.
How was hunting used and pushed in this plot?: This involved a lot of tracking and making our way through a long series of caves and we had to make a lot of decisions about which way to go. It was hunting in a way Vega hadn't really done it before because it was run as a "actions use up points" thread, and that meant that it really demonstrated the time-sensitive nature of what was going on. It was fast-paced decision making as we hunted the baddie and the wish-stone and the cub.

When the smoke has cleared, and in a pocket of time between the time that Vega and Co were sent into the Broiling Lagoon, and this Vhalar, the Cub had a moment to get to his senses, although he feels lingering regret over Vu-Erik's fate. He tells her of a friend he used to have before even Vu-Erik, who was another of Daia's Lionesses. She was a teacher. If Vega consults her locket/compass, she'll find the nearest Lion pointing toward Saoire's school. The thing is, she won't come out and say who she is, as she fears being hunted by Vu'erik. So Vega will have to take some classes and figure out if one of the teachers is the lioness.
