It thrashed back and forth, biting at the male, before stepping back carefully. "You... Are much stronger than I thought. The Redspine will feed, but for now... You are spared." It began trudging away through the snow, one half of its body a bright red, the other colorless. A deer bounded past, and in an instant, the Redspine had impaled it with one of its remaining spines. It gruesomely devoured the front half, but left the back. It pushed it a little in the direction of the two. "A parting gift. We shall meet again." It stopped, and something that resembled a smile crossed its draconic face. "Tinker." The Redspine walked away. Quote You guys…canon, this is what happened to your deer. @J.

She glanced at the slashed tent and the backpack, which had been damaged but not destroyed. Slowly she stood and put it on. ”We should move.

Unintelligenius he/him Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 KuLaam suddenly glanced up, at the one thing that everyone ignored. He knew what he needed to do. He sprinted into the clearing and grabbed Quelkin's corpse hauling him off back into the forest. He would need a few hours before he was ready. @Dragonheir @RoyalBeeMage @The Stormfather (also anyone else who is in the clearing)

We could probably use the antlers or hooves as well.” Quote The Redspine ate the front part. "Yeah...though that monster already started the process for us." He looked at the bloody mess that had replaced the deer's middle. After the blood had drained, Tinker took a dozen or so large pieces of meat from the deer's haunches, carefully avoiding the area the Redspine had bit. He wrapped the chunks in some of his spare cloth. My jumpsuit is in tatters at this point... "Here," he said, handing them to Marewill. "We can put them in the pack. I don't want to spend any more time getting more...we should salvage what we can from the camp and get out of here. "I want to try to trade that spike for something at the casino."

The backpack suddenly felt a lot heavier as she remembered the first deal she made with Corin. If he wanted to go to the casino, what would happen to her if she stopped him? ”Alright.” It would have been hard for Tinker to notice, but her voice was tight.

"If we don't want to risk both our lives, I could also just go alone," Tinker said as he salvaged the sleeping bag and rolled it up. That tent's a lost cause... "We'd find a new place to hide near the casino, I duck in and out, then we leave again."
