Inside the training room the ground was soft, like dirt, and there was poles coming out of the ground like trees. This place looked too artificial to be an actual "forest", but it'll have to do. [color=548b54]"We'll start your off with a simple snare. It's meant to catch small game, but against people it can catch their feet and cause them to trip or even get them stuck. First you need an anchor."[/color] Dulga went over to one of the fake trees and snapped a branch off. It was only about six inches long, but she made sure to whittle the end so it was sharp. She snapped off another branch for Tomoe to use. [color=548b54]"The anchor does not need to be long nor heavy. It just needs to be firm. Make sure there's a small notch or hook so that the rope doesn't slip off."[/color] Using just her fingers Dulga was able to carve a small notch onto the fake wood. but since Tomoe likely didn't have Dulga's massive strength, she also demonstrated that Tomoe could achieve something similar if she just shaved the wood off with the other stick. It took a bit longer, but eventually it'd match the same shape.

[color=548b54]"Now you need to make the noose."[/color] For this Dulga and Tomoe would only use a bit of rope, twelve inches for the both of them. [color=548b54]"I hope you know how to make a knot."[/color] Dulga created a small loop at one of the rope then put the rope through the loop. Dulga showed Tomoe the simple noose she made, putting her hand through it and tightening the rope around her hand. [color=548b54]"When someone pulls on the rope, the rope tightens around their foot. Getting out of it isn't too hard, but for those who don't expect it it can give you the time to run or fight."[/color] Dulga could teach Tomoe a more complicated knot that's harder to get out of, but for now just the basics. Dulga then tied the noose to the fake wooden stake. [color=548b54]"This is a very basic snare. Easy to make, easy to hide. All you really need is a bit of rope or wire. Tie it to something heavy or firm into the ground like a pole or a rock."[/color] Dulga took her snare and pushed the stake into the ground. Without any natural foliage to hide it it was pretty obvious. The rope also laid flat against the ground but Dulga had another trick for that.

Taking a much smaller branch off the fake tree, Dulga looked for an "L" shaped one and carefully positioned it under the rope. Dulga then demonstrated how the stick helped; when Dulga stepped on the stick, it raised the rope just enough to go over her foot, then Dulga continued stepping through and the rope wrapped around her ankle. [color=548b54]"It's not foolproof."[/color] Dulga demonstrated this by simply yanking the trap out of the ground with her foot, kicking the snare off as well. [color=548b54]"But it's a start. Now practice."[/color] Dulga took a few more sticks off the fake trees and tore some rope for Tomoe to practice with. With any luck she'll learn quickly and they can move onto more interesting traps.
