Quote The Redspine, I realize, is really holding back. The Redspine swung a claw at Conner, then shot it's crimson aether spines towards him, one wrapping around the stick and tossing it to the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unintelligenius he/him Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 18 hours ago, Dragonheir said: Tondon brings his shield down to block the feint, then barely manages to avoid getting his throat cut, instead suffering a deep gash on his jaw. He throws the sickle in his hand at Conner, trying to throw his off balance, and calls out, “Red! Help!” @BlueWildRye @WhyEverNot_8 KuLaam realizes that he hadn't just walked into a tribute with a beast but something much more glorious. A fight. He tried to contain his excitement as he ran forward. He would help deal with the tribute that they were both fighting then turn on the other one. Too think that he could have two kills in such a little time. KuLaam crouches down as he slowly makes his way forward until he sees the perfect moment. Conner threw the sickle back at Tondon. Mere seconds later KuLaam lunges forward and slashes one of his daggers at Connor's legs. @WhyEverNot_8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Nice one! I could have him duck, but I’m not gonna. (I almost did, but I realized it’s kinda cheating and I wanted to be a good sport.) Tondon stops pulling, but not fast enough. The point of the sickle hits him in the eye, and he gasps in pain. It falls to the ground and he claps a hand of his eye, only to have it hurt even more. @WhyEverNot_8 @BlueWildRye He’s too distracted to see @Unintelligenius attacking Conner.

He then shouted something about killing the tribute if they didn't leave. As if he cared. The more dead tributes the happier he was. The closer he was to fulfilling his purpose. He stalked forward but then stops, noticing that Tondon pulled out a vial of what appeared to be spores to his lips. He crouched down behind a small bush. He would wait this one out then take out whoever remained. @Dragonheir @WhyEverNot_8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Magi she/her Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 (edited) Sharp woke with a jolt, realizing he had horribley overslept. The past day or so had been emotionally and physically exhausting. Waking up, and willing himself to keep going took more energy than he would've liked. The campfire had long since burnt out, and [I don't actually know what time of day it is]. He turned to Dougella, wondering if she'd woken yet or not. @Scars of Hathsin Edited July 5 by J. Magi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
