OK. Seems like my pills finaly beat my body temperature below 38C, So Ill trz this. If it doesnt make sense, sorry for that, aI may be a bit fuzzy...
So..about the hunting...
Well. It starts like a decent temptation somewhere at the back of my skull. Oftenly when I heard the name, or the story that covers my future prey. At the beginning I`m just currious, finding some basic informations on the subject, maybe some general info about the area "it" lives in, culture or some basic behavioral patterns in a case of animal, newpaper articles etc. I usualy ask Olaf, if some of his friends could do a datasearch on the topics Im interested in. Nothing great.
Then I move closer.
If "it" is an animal, I travel to the vilage nearby its homeground, looking for more datailed informations on its habits, listening stories in pubs or clubs where I play my guitar to earn my living costs. Im also doing astral survey of the area, using my spells to get a detailed info of the population, scanning places, at first randomely, to get bigger picture, then systematicaly to draw a detailed map. It is not a hard thing to convience, or influence, some of locals to be my guides at the terrain, they, especialy women, oftenly agree to take me for the trip to local sightseeings and other beautiful places...
Im starting to make a plan, using spirits to cause a chain of events that leads the prey to get itself cornered on the place of my choice and finaly I use my magic and my guardian spirit - berserker, to make a final blow.
In case of an inteligent prey, I mean metahuman prey, things are not much different, only the playground changes. Dual beeings and magical capable I usualy engage in astral combat. So far I won these battles, all three of them. Not that it was easy and not that I haven`t spent some long weeks healing my wounds. My last oponent had some firm pact with the Earth spirits. I had found his flat and killed him in the bathroom. It wasn`t any brave act, it was cold, ruthless assasination...but he deserved nothing better. Electricity and water goes well together. For me, not for him. I had to fought the earth spirit that was protecting him, trying to engulf and isolate him from my attack. I succeded in killing his master, but he doesnt disapear and gave me a fight like never before. My guardian was torn apart and I was fighting for my life. By Odin, I dont know how I made it out of that place alive. When I got in the open, our strenghts were almost equal, but while I was in his lodge, he got all good cards on his side. While in the open, I luckily succeeded in summoning powerfull guardian and then I passed out from wounds and drain with the command "Protect me" sliping from my lips. And so he did.
When I woke up, I made it to nearest shrine and spent maybe three weekns in hands of local Godes before I was able to get up from the bed...
