OOC: Um, Tom, I meant I tackled Frex, but I guess your way works
Anyway, I'll work on it for now
Flaxis had jumped off of Darvek as soon as the other sligs had entered the camp. He watched in disbelief as Calvarr blew a hole in one of them and produced his poison from inside a fold in his cloak. But suddenly, he collapsed into a bundle.
Flaxis immediately took the advantage when the other sligs backed off and he readied his assault rifle from the slig on his back. Darvek spoke as he pulled back the bolt on his own weapon with a satisfying
crack.
"
It's not safe here. We need to take shelter elsewhere for the night and fast. I'm not familiar with these parts, but perhaps you know of a place in the woods?"
Flaxis nodded
"Hold that thought." He fired half a dozen rounds into the nearest attacker and it fell the ground with a wet
plop. He then charged forward with an inhuman yell, using the back of the gun as a bat, and then drew his katana.
Seconds later, every one of the ambushing sligs was sprawled on the ground in death. Returning to Darvek's side after wiping off his weapons, he took a stick from the ground and drew a crude map. Squatting down, he started to speak.
"Ok, I have a cave, uh, here-" at this, he pointed at the map "-and we are about here-" he then pointed at another area on it. "Now, it's about a half-hours journey if we leave now, longer if we run into any obstacles." Looking over, Darvek was examining the foliage around them. Calvarr suddenly woke at this point.
"Huh, what happened? Is the fight over?"
Darvek nodded, answering Calvarr's question, and spoke to Flaxis
"Looks like we'll get some more trouble if we stay here any longer. Let's move. Flaxis, I'll take the six and you take the point.
(OOC: The rear and the front for any peoples who don't know
) You should head home." At this, Darvek rounded on Calvarr.
"You might have demolished
one slig, but trust me there are more. More than you can even imagine. And they'll all want you dead. There are even sligs that can rip apart a tree without trying. This steef-" He jerked his hand at Flaxis "-knows war. He knows this, has even fought one, and lived. I know, because I smell death around him. So do yourself a favor. Go home, and be safe." Darvek's speech ended, but Calvarr was firm.
"I'm staying with you. I don't care; I want to see the world. Besides, with you two, who will dare fight me?" Calvarr said. Admiration glinted in Darvek’s eyes for an instant, but then disappeared. Calvarr saw it, though.
"All right, uh, are you ready, to uh, go?" Flaxis asked.
Darvek and Calvarr nodded.
"Then uh, lets get moving!"
