Back to the ship!

[decidingbark]

OOC - I figured this would be as good a place as any to post the thread for Rid and Vorai heading back to the ship. If I am wrong, can someone with admin power just move it where it is needed?

BIC - Rid and his otters were moving through the forest at a good pace. Even with a group of their size, nobeast wanted to be caught out in the open by the wildcats. Rid was in the centre of the line with Asher a few steps behind him. The fox figured that he could respond equally fast to an emergency in any part of the group, whether it was the beasts in the lead or the back. For now, though, the forest was quiet. Almost eerily quiet. Rid watched Vorai at the lead of the group.

"Don't trust the wolf, Asher," Rid whispered to his otter companion, quietly enough that nobeast could overhear. "Kee yore eye on him. Skipper's warnings."

"Ya don't need to warn me, sir. I don't need to watch the wolf; I can smell him."

Rid grinned at this. "Yore starting to grow on me, Asher. Stop it. Too bad Skipper didn't give orders to make sure Vorai, the competition, gets 'lost' on the way back. Let's just say, that if we do run into some trouble, we let Vorai lead the attack."

Vorai heard some mumbling between Rid and another crew member. He slowed down and moved back and heard the last comment about letting him lead the attack. He walked up to Rid and said. "If you want to keep yer head, you better keep yer mouth shut. I'm not afraid of some wildcat, like you and your pitiful crewmates, so shut yer trap!" He said.

(Sorry, that's all I can say)

Rid smirked at the wolf, not backing down despite the obvious height difference between the two. One of his paws instinctively went for his tonfa, but he ignored the urge to grab it. The entire crew had stopped, as the otters moved to surround Vorai. "Don't do something you're going to regret," Rid said, his voice quiet but loaded with threat. "And don't forget who's in charge here. This ain't yore crew, this ain't yore ship. I don't take well to getting threatened. Ye came because ye a chance at that wildcat, fine. But if ye don't watch yoreself, ye won't even get that chance."

Rid held Vorai's stare for another second, then looked away, brushing past the wolf as he continued along the path. "Don't forget, wolf, you're very much alone out here."

OOC - All my best posts contain lines from Firefly.

"So, a threat, eh?" Vorai said. "I don't take easily to threats, even if odds are against me." He said with a dangerous smile. His paw strayed to the handle of his broadsword, strapped to his back. "This may not be my crew, or my ship, but this involves my friend. I offered you my help... But if you don't want it, I'll gladyly go back to the rest of the crews alone." He growled. "So keep a civil tongue or ye won't be havin' one no more." He said. "Since I don't know where yer ship is, you lead the way, oh short one." He said mockingly. "Ill guard the back."

OOC: No worries... As long as they're good posts. Oh, should we have someone or something ambush us? Your call.

[Skipper Of Sea Otters]

From in front of the group 8 tall figures surrounded them dressed exactly like the wildcat but without the scary side-effects. They still looked menacing and each carried a long spear. Their heads were hooded and each of them built very well but ranged in height. From behind them deep in the forest, the sounds of heavy paws could be heard heading the in opposite direction.

The large beast held thier weapons infront of them pointed in towards the others. "Dannarth will feast on your eyes..." the beasts said stepping in closer.

[decidingbark]

Asher was the first to spot the figures, since most of the otters were still watching the confrontation between Vorai and Rid. The fox had whirled back to the wolf and was now very close to losing it. "Ye threaten to cut out my tongue! Ye think yore scary, just cause you're a wolf, eh? Ye know what I'm doing to?" Rid whipped out his tonfa, taking one in each paw. "I'm going to break yore legs, then, when yore my size, I'm going- WHAT? What is it, Asher??" Rid yelled, whirling on the otter who had been trying to get his attention with increasingly violent taps ever since the figures appeared. The rest of the otter crew turned to face their new opponents and weapons appeared in everybeasts' paws.

"I think we got some company, boss," Asher said. It was little more than a horse whisper.

Rid stared at the figures. He hadn't even heard them come up. "Say, Vorai. What say we postpone this little 'debate' until later, eh?"

[Mako]

"Aye" was all Vorai said to Rid. "We'll continue it later." He said. Vorai unstrapped the broadsword and snarled. He wanted to throttle all these beasts's throats. With a growl he pushed past Rid and any other otters in his way and ran straight at the first beast he saw. It was a shorter one. He snarled and charged at him. He ran and pushed past the weapon and attempted a flying tackle at the beast.

The beast was taken backward to the ground. The other seven ignored the commotion and took another step foreward as if nothing happened.

The other beast struggled with the Wolf. It lets out a cry of pain as his muscles buckled under the weight of the struggle. The beasts back was on the ground and a large root was digging into his back. The weight was too much and his biceps gave out sending the entire weight of the fox upon him allowing the root to snap his back. He let out a cry of agony as his form lay twitching. the pain was now to much to even scream...

[Mako]

Vorai threw a swift punch and stood up. "That'll teach you to show yer worthless hides by our camp again." Vorai snarled. "You will die in pain." He said, not even looking back as he walked towards the next beast. He walked behind another one and grabbed his broadsword. He held the hilt tight in two paws. He walked behind the beast, a slightly taller one then before, and held the sword tip about 4 inches from his back. He drove straightwords with his sword. If it connected, the beast would be run through with the sword.

[Skipper Of Sea Otters]

The beast leaned to the left and spun around, knocking the sword away with his spear and opened room for second attack. In the same motion in the same spin aim the butt of his spear at the wolfs head.

The other beast continued stepping foreward toward the group that was still in the center.
