The Great Tarasque Hunt of '83[]
At some point around May 14th of 1883, Roosevelt received an invitation from Colonel Joseph d'Enfante of the French Army; the American naturalist was invited in an expedition to claim a five million pound bounty on "the Tarasque", a cryptid that was ravaging towns in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. By the sixteenth, Roosevelt had arrived at a club owned by Marshall, Carter, & Dark alongside three other huntsmen — Dukov, Harris and Blackwood. After the four naturalists were debriefed by Col. d'Enfante on the beast's path through the Provence countryside.
On May 20th, Roosevelt and his companions arrived in Calais and embarked to Avignon in southeastern France with their hunting arsenal (and a huge, strange crate Mr. Harris had brought with him). During the cross-country travel, Roosevelt made good conversation with Lord Blackwood, and the two Theodores regaled each other with accounts of their prior expeditions. It wasn't until the third day of their expedition that Roosevelt and his company found the Tarasque sleeping outside of Belleville, Rhône, and quickly found that their rifles did effectively nothing against the now-awakened beast's regenerative abilities. Roosevelt was separated from the other three huntsman as the Tarasque (missing a leg) chased after him in their retreat, but miraculously he was able to loose the handicapped behemoth and reunite with his companions.
After another unproductive attempt on the Tarasque's life the next day, and inspiring word from a veteran who fought Viet-Namh rebels back in '68, Roosevelt spend the night of May 24th planning out a giant spike trap with Blackwood. At the village of Graveson, Bouches-du-Rhône, Roosevelt and Blackwood's pit trap was constructed over the period of four days. The day after the pit was completed, Roosevelt agreed to act as bait, and on horseback led the Tarasque over a wooden bridge, successfully bringing the beast down on the steel spike. In the clear, Roosevelt lead his companions in unloading everything they had into the reptilian monster until it was nothing but unmoving, charred bones.
On the thirtieth, Roosevelt's group returned to Avignon with the skull of the Tarasque, and were hailed as heroes by the French Army. After the commemorative photograph was disrupted by the skull biting off Mr. Dukov's head and the Tarasque's mostly reassembled body rampaging through town in search of its head, Roosevelt noticed as Mr. Harris retreated from the chaos to the bank that stored his giant "secret weapon" crate, and made chase after the Englishman. Arriving in bank lobby with Lord Blackwood, the two found the vault and its crate opened, with Harris unsealing an ancient Mesopotamian sarcophagus. Despite Harris being unable to greet his "secret weapon" due to having his head being instantly decapitated by a black blade, Roosevelt also attempted the speak with the savage god-man and convince him to fight the Tarasque. Roosevelt utilized his reflexes to parry Able's blade with the barrel of his elephant rifle, and knocked the dagger from the assailant's hand. Picking up the original blade, Roosevelt blocked further strikes from the Abrahamic god-man's new weapon until the assailant was distracted by a round from Lord Blackwood's particle destabilizer to the face. After the blood-thirsty Able was further distracted by the intrusion of the opponent-worthy Tarasque, Roosevelt used the opportunity to pull the bola-ensnared Blackwood to the side lines. Watching the two behemoths of strength fight in the town center, the two Theodores sealed themselves in the bank vault as they noticed Able disassemble Dukov's pitchblende-gun to fashion an explosive from its uraninite core. Trapped behind the rubble and vault door, Roosevelt could only wait for the metaphorical storm to pass and their hopeful rescue, and agreed with Blackwood to adhere to their Christian morals and refrain from cannibalizing Harris' corpse.
Roosevelt never reached such a last resort of survival, as he and his friend were freed from the vault by remnants of French Army on the morning of June 1st. While being treated for "pitchblende fever" (radiation poisoning) by an associate of Blackwood's friend Henry Flashman in Marseille, Roosevelt was thoroughly questioned on the decimation of Avignon by French soldiers, constables, and politicians, all transcribed by a note-taking Englishman. After recovering from his uraninite exposure and swearing secrecy on the incident, Roosevelt parted ways with Blackwood in Calais, explaining to his new friend and fellow survivor on his return to his political career back in New York.
