2nd Day of the 3rd Moon, Morning
Where the greatness is made up and the kills don't matter. The Okay Capturing Expedition sounded less fun.
Jormun, Dacey, Gerdy and six of Harrenhal's finest(?) men set off on the hunt for a bear to capture, as well as to search for game to bring back to the keep. When in Rome, right?

Gerdy, having heard of the expedition while mulling around town, raced to catch up with the hunting party. Ridding up on her mare, followed by her two hounds, she approached Jormun.
"Got room fo' three more?" She asked, motioning to Stranger and Warrior. The two dogs panted lightly, excited by the prospect of a hunt.

Jormun grins at the hounds, gesturing out towards the forest in the distance. "Certainly, I was hoping we'd have hounds. This hunt should be fairly easy, really."

Dacey rode next to her brother, content to be back on her old horse. She acknowledged the woman and her hounds with a curt nod before looking to Jormun. "Did you get a sedative from the maester?" she asked.

(I need a date for this hunt so I know if it comes before or after Benjen's bandit hunt, seeing as we have some character crossover between the two and both threads clearly have the potential for death. Once again , always put the date in the first post of a new thread or scene so we avoid any timey wimey bullshit.)

"A've anny got one request if ahm tuh be goin' wi' yee. Since ahm tuh be the new kennel mastor, i'd liketuh capture a few hounds or wolves if we come 'cross any."
Gerdy's eyes searched Dacey, the sting of jealousy sinking in. How was she to have her way with the men on a hunt if she was competing with Dacey's beauty. This put Gerdy at a heavy disadvantage, she never liked to be the underdog. "Wot a canny thin' yee are wee lass. Goin' on yuh first hunt are yee?"

Ah, so this woman was to be their kennelmaster, thought Dacey, glancing at her once more after her enquiry. "No," she replied.

Jormun looked over to Dacey as they rode, shaking his head slowly. "I'm afraid not, the man is rather confrontational for a maester. He can mend a leg, but his personality needs help. Tried to give me hunting advice, you know." Shaking his head again, Jormun gave his horse a pat on the head. "Happy knows more about a hunt than that fool."

"I don't know many maesters," said Dacey, wondering if she should've asked Percival herself. "A pity. What'd he advise?" she asked, slightly amused.

"That we build a pit for it and wait. Not only is the entire notion a farce he probably read from a book, but we would then have to haul the damn thing out of the pit and drag it back to Harrenhal, if we're lucky enough that it doesn't break something and become useless." Jormun scoffs as he recounts the maester's words. "He also said the poison would be useless, as it would only make it sleepy. Apparently, he missed the part where that was the entire point. We don't want to drag it, whether asleep or angry, so drowsy was our ideal outcome."

"Why dont yee just bait it into a cage?" Gerdy had a lot of experience trapping game, for both food and domestication. She had spent a fair amount of time around a bears, though she was not ignorant enough to underestimate such a beast. "When a've caught large animals, we jus' trap 'em in a cage on wheels. Huck a fair ov bloody meat in there, and yer done. That way yee can hitch them tuh a nag and cart 'em away. Ain't harmful tuh the beast, and yee get em fresh."

"A fine plan, but I don't think a bear would be dumb enough to walk into the cage. Still, if you wish to try it, we will. I'm certain we have a cage big enough to use around Harrenhal somewhere."

"It's a beast. Dress it up wi' mud, coin it into uh cave if it makes yee feel canny. Eithor way, it'll follow its nose." Gerdy shrugged, it was all very simple in concept.

"Then we have a plan if this one fails. It is always best to have options. Ready yourselves, it's time to go bear hunting." Jormun stares out at the forest ahead, sending his falcon, Happy, into the skies above before riding in, beginning the process of tracking large game and searching for tracks.

Following Jormun's lead, Gerdy road in after him. She shouted commanders at her hounds, permitting them to unleash their primal instincts. Guided by their noses, Warrior and Stranger took to the woods in full pursuit.
