The first game session was played in 2025-07-06. In it, Clark, Gaia and Mariette joined Ferret in the Nuskom Yearly Hunt to destroy a pack of Wererabbits in the outer ring of the Zone
The players met in the staging ground for the yearly pruning of aberrations from the zone. In a slightly humorous moment, Clark was almost run over by the small truck that Gaia was driving. As an apology for the actions of her minion, Iorena allowed Clark to come into the sign-up tents ahead of time and gave him his choice of missions to pick.
While tracking their targets in the zone, they encountered a swarm of mutated mosquitoes. Clark and Ferret tried to hide from them, but Mariette decided to test an explosive concoction on the swarm. Sadly, her throwing arm is a lot worse than her brewing skill so the bottle ended crashing on the lake's bank scaring the mosquitoes that decided to charge some other hunters that were sailing the lake.
Escaping from the resulting explosion, Mariette imbibed a concoction that was supposed to grant her additional speed, but it had the effect of making her subtly paranoid, so she got into an argument with Ferret. While distracted, they were ambushed by one of the wererabbits, that tried to bite Mariette's arm off. They were saved by the intervention of Gaia, who managed to shoot the creature off from its target in one impressive shot.
In the meanwhile, Clark located the den of the creatures and set up a trap that managed to get one of them, but the rest noticed the noise made from the hunters and set up their own ambush. The resulting battle was confusing and deadly but the hunters survived with minimal injury.
Only to be scared to hell when a very strange sound overtook the region and an helicopter fell to land not far away from them.
Originally the session was going to have Rose instead of Mariette as the third party member, but we had scheduling issues of the very last moment, as in, during the actual session.
Gaia's luck during the game was quite impressive, with her both managing to nail one wererabbit on the eye (rolling +4) and catching other so unaware (it rolled −4) that it could have been sleeping for all it mattered.
Bodrik was not intended to appear in this session, but he came out for a cameo when we needed a random NPC for a couple lines in the staging ground.
Although Gaia lost the bet, she never gave the maple leaf to Clark (and is not planning on doing that anytime soon).
