OOC: Oops.
IC: Was Slurp the ONLY Fleech with any intelligence around here? Anyway, he tensed his muscles in his trapped leg and gripped it with his poerful jaws, secured it to the ground in what way he could with another leg and pulled as hard as possible. Luckily, this one was a bit rusty and old, and was starting to give quite easily. Then a particularly rusty part snapped off. It hadn't done too much damage, but he couldn't run quite as fast as usual. The Sligs were gaining again, unfortunately. But then, he heard something up above. A large...thing was looming up there. Was this going to try and attack him as well!? Oh God...Shryke was now slightly annoyed at all this. He flung a Fleech by the tongue off of him, grabbed Slurp and ran off to the right, then changed his mind, turned around and went left past the trap again. One of the Fleeches grabbed his arm and held on tight. He didn't have time to get it off now though.
The Sligs caught up now. One looked up.
"What the heck is that!?"
"Its Gillik's ship! Must be important. Maybe if we catch that thing alive we can get some Moolah for it, a rank raise. Maybe some wings, even. That would be cool"
"What're yer waiting for, then, Gary? Lets go get the thing! Get your bolas ready. It'll be better alive"
The Sligs followed his deep tracks and came to the trap.
"God, it broke out of it...thats an old trap, though....oh, buggar off you stupid Fleech"
He threw a rock at it, and knocked it onto the floor. Gary picked it up and lobbed it at Bob.
"Oh, quit it, Gary. Now...whuh? There's two sets of tracks, the same and both fairly fresh. Which ones do we take?"
"Oh, damn...lets go right"
They went that way a bit, realised their error, then charged off the other way.
Meanwhile, Shryke had ran off a bit then found another Spooce area with a large pond. He waded in to soothe his leg and ate some more Spooce, now his leg was injured too as well as his arm.
