It was in this sky that flew a lone falcon, a small bird compared to many on Thracs, but agile and with good eyesight. It's screech echoed throughout the forest causing the three travelers to look up to the sky, the parasites in their brain wriggling as they relayed a silent conversation between them. They watched the skies, seeing nothing as the falcon returned but, it was their ears that told of it's coming. The large creature stepped out from between the trees, wingless , the giant lizard was three times that of a normal human, with a hardened skull reminiscent of a beetle and a long tail with a spiked end. It was not the large flying dragon like the hunters had expected nor as large but as they began the battle, they would learn to appreciate this moment of disappointment. And so, the battle began! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA395jKjYb8 Sutekh thrust forward his book, chanting great magical hymns from it to strengthen his power, declaring an invocation he shouted a spell but, instead of the great and powerful elemental he had attempted to channel, a pure missile of magical essense shot forth and struck the dragon. The ancient giant was dumbfounded, Thracs had refused his influence. Sutekh was having more luck than Nahuatl who was able to channel none of his power, the two elders seethed with frustration at their predicament as they dodged a strike from the beast's tail. Sutekh's attack had not been totally ineffective however, and had caused a gash in the monster's facial armor. Eknara lept into action, her companions communicating their distress, her spells had also not appeared but, she had taken the time to craft her weapon and she would not rest until she had the supplies needed to craft her armor as well. The cloth armor she currently wore was light in weight but blocked little in the way of injury. Quickly she dodged each strike from it's tail, admittedly it was easier than before, screaming as she charged forward the ground exploded around her from the monster's missed strikes. Nearing the beast she spun in mid-air crashing her sword onto the injured head of the creature. Liquid oozed from the wound as the creature started to go limp, Eknara backed away slowly as the creature's entire being began to groan. There was a loud explosion, three heads snapped to the tail of the creature, as each segment exploded in a gruesome chain reaction until finally in a series of violent concussions, the main body burst, spreading it's skin, muscles and entrails over a large area of forest which, included the hapless travelers. OUTCOME: Hunt Successful. Rhabeopax slain. Eknara Orkaro: 5EXP, Crippled Sutekh: 5EXP, Crippled Nahuatl Negendra: 5EXP, Crippled Edited by scarththegrim, May 25 2011, 10:39 PM.
