Fox Hunt

Overview

This seems to be one of the Tsoo's blood sports. In a Fox Hunt, the prey is pumped full of Rage and released; then the Tsoo hunt it down. The game is about hunting but not killing the prey, who often survives. On the other hand, the prey usually suffers a brutal beating. Acting as the prey is usually regarded as an honor by the Tsoo members, who often offer themselves voluntarily for this role. Apparently, the role of prey can also been used sometimes as a punishment as well.

Death of the prey is rare, but still possible.

Appearances

The Fox Hunt is mentioned in the Rescue Dizzy Frankley from the Tsoo mission that mid-level contacts give.

From Dizzy's rescue clue:

I guess it was the pressure of the celebrity life that made me start taking Rage. Before I knew it, I was in over my head! The Tsoo wanted more money, and I just didn't have it! They said if I couldn't pay, they'd make an example of me. They were going to force me to participate in a Tsoo Fox Hunt!

From Charlie Sparks's debriefing:

Dizzy's okay? Whew, thanks, Character. It says here that the Tsoo wanted to make her participate in their next fox hunt. Have you heard of those, Character? The Tsoo pump some poor soul full of Rage, release her, then hunt her down! They rarely kill the fox, but the hunts usually end in brutal beatings. It's a good thing you rescued Dizzy when you did!

From the contact's debriefing:

Believe it or not, Tsoo fox hunts usually involve willing prey. Some gangsters consider playing the fox a testament to their courage and wit. But I'm not surprised the Tsoo would try to force Dizzy Frankley into a hunt as punishment for failing to pay her debt. Nice rescue, Character.
