There aren't any kayaks but you could make a raft with vines if you tried hard enough and didn't get killed first. 2 minutes ago, J. Magi said: You made it worse, idiot. "What else was I supposed to do?!" Sharlin grabbed Winter's wrist and started pulling him away at a steady pace. She worried if they started running the vines would pounce, the way a predator might. "Let's get away, shall we?" The despair hit her again. Flashes of silky black hair mixed in blood shot through her vision. Why did she have to think about this now? It was not the time . . . She shoved all of her feelings deep down inside, into the little void in her heart where lots of things have gone to die. She could deal with feeling sad, she felt sad all the time--she just needed to wait until later. At least that what she told herself as she forced her limbs to move, dragging Winter along. Uh . . . you okay kiddo? "Fantastic," Sharlin said with gritted teeth. "Never been better." @Lord Spirit The vines lashed out, but were limited in their range. They got left in the dust. As they ran they found themselves in the middle of a clearing. The floor was covered with hundreds of deathant colonies, surrounding them. Quote And somehow you ran into the middle without dying Edited Tuesday at 05:12 PM by Ancient Elantrian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kept dragging Winter, this time carefully stepping towards the edge of the clearing, walking on her toes and avoiding the ant's as best she could. @Lord Spirit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vomiting had left him dehydrated, and he needed to find fresh water soon before anything else. Well, I have two Aviars looking around for me.

He stooped down and used his hands to drink the water. Once he was satisfied, he got some vines from the jungle and went to try and work with the driftwood to get himself to another island, wishing he had any sort of weapon or tool. For now, a broken rock let him cut vines and chip at stray shoots coming off of branches. Murr felt better having cleaned off and drunk water, but thoughts of what he had done continued to haunt him, and blood still stained his clothes. He distracted himself by working and watching his Aviar fly, and for just a moment he could trick himself into thinking that things were okay.

He didn’t have to fake it. If someone was dead already, then either someone was already killing, or a beast was loose. The next part, however was an act. “I… I w-wonder who it was.” He adopted a sad expression as he carried the vessel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Spirit he/him Posted Tuesday at 08:24 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:24 PM Quote I just noticed that there are nightmaws in these games. They are nocturnal and if I remember correctly, they're huge and pretty much unstoppable once they find a target. HG canon lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's no difference to you, I'd like to continue my observations from my personal office." He left the monitoring room without waiting for a reply. @Ancient Elantrian @Dragonheir Forrest walked the halls, carved from igneous rock, leading to the his personal office and suite. His mind wandered to Pellee and Fifteen, who he hadn't seen since that morning... Out of curiosity he signaled an Avox aide, which waited in the halls to be called upon. A barbaric way to create servants...the amount of mental torture required to turn a rebel against the state into a mindless servant... "When you have a moment, please inform Miss Rozegaze that I would like to have a chat with her. She can contact me from her office. If require clearance to communicate through language, you have my permission to write a single note to bring her." The servant nodded, then turned and hastily walked away. Hm.
