Clan : Kraken Hunters

The catalyst for the founding of the Kraken Hunters clan was an attack by a giant squid that terminally interrupted a love-starved astronomer's seaside romance. This incident caused a number of hitherto solo squid-hunters to band together to actively hunt the giant squid of Shartak.

The Kraken Hunters may be from any town, village or shipwreck. They may have any reason for their actions. They are united by their common goal of seeking out and killing giant squid in an organised hunt. And once they have achieved that goal they generally return to their normal everyday lives on Shartak.

Clan rules are simple:
- Kraken Hunters aid one another on a hunt
- Kraken Hunters do not kill one another
- Kraken Hunters can (and usually do) kill those they deem to be hunt saboteurs

Alerts about sightings of giant squid are posted on the Kraken Hunters thread on the official Shartak forum at http://forum.shartak.com/index.php?topic=668.0

Hunts are generally coordinated via forum PM and in the Shartak IRC channel.

Hunt records are kept on the Shartak wiki at http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/Kraken_Hunters

Novice Kraken Hunters will always be helped towards their first kill(s). Although there are no required home locations / classes for clan membership, certain classes (e.g. Soldier/Warrior and Villager/Settler) have advantageous skillsets for squid hunting. Both the Swimming skill and the ability to use GPS units are exceptionally useful. Finally, Kraken Hunters are generally advised to carry lots of healing supplies, at least one GPS unit and the best weapons they can find.
