*i continue toward the roar but notice something that could be of value. above me I can see thick green an brown vines growing between the buildings, if I'm careful I may be able to cross them. I shift my vision between the street and the vines a few times then make the decision.* "time to go hunting." *a smile curls across my face as I enter one of the buildings. the interiors are large and filled with plant life, there are tables and chairs scattered around the room. most are rotting and turned over. this must have been a caffe or cafeteria of some sort. I climb the stairs to the next floor checking my corners but quickly moving through the building. windows line almost every room and I look out upon he dilapidated city, the buildings seem to be closer here than they are in centra. I come to the end of a hallway and see a parking garage below me. cars are rusted to an orange brown perfection and not much is growing on the concrete, but this is not why catches my attention. I see a large being lumber behind a building, I immediately recognize it as the source of the roar. I draw my pistol and fire three shots into the unbroken window causing it to crumble out of existence. I turn and sprint down the hall turning back about twenty feet down. I take off toward the window and burst out into the open air, it's an indescribable feeling. the garage is now beneath me and I land hard on the solid concrete, role and take off in the direction of the beast.*

You follow the giant beast through alleyways and streets. It has a canine familiarity to it, though it is hairless and 18 feet tall. You cannot see its face from behind, though you can hear it licking its lips. Its body is meaty and muscular, and its muscles shift and flex as it strides through broken roads. You also notice that anything alive that the beast nears retreats in fear. The mutants must now that this thing is a big deal. You suddenly wonder how quickly it could kill you.

"well that's bigger than I thought it was..." *i look around the roof and see vines growing into a building to my left (the direction of the beast. I run toward them and climb out onto the largest one. It bobs a bit as my weight is placed on it and I almost lose my balance, but regain it and move quickly across. sprinting thought the building I ready an explosive arrow. once I reach the end of the building i burst through a door bringing me nearly directly above the beast. even though I am on the third floor the creature does not seem to be too far below me. catching a glimpse of its face I notice the large tusks which hang out of its drooling mouth. I draw the arrow and fire at the beasts back.*

The arrow flies with a sharp whistle before puncturing the beast's back and exploding in a flurry of smoke and flesh. The beast roars, bucking about as its back is torn open. It collapses on its side for a moment, before roaring with rage and getting back onto its feet again, glaring around the street furiously. You have damaged the creature, but not mortally. It seems to be covered in thick, protective blubber. This is gonna be tricky to kill.

*'damn, I was hoping that would work. I only have 4 more of those.' I think to myself as the beast turns to check behind himself. I look around for options and notice a stone statue above the creature on the opposite building. 'maybe if I can get that to fall it'd break the animals back.' I'll need to get higher to do this though. if worst comes to worst, I can use the rest of the explosives, my regular arrows, my pistol and my gauntlet but I'd like to keep that for the rest of my journey. the beast reels around searching for his attacker, but it doesn't seem to see me. 'I gotta get higher to break that down.' I turn on my heels and head for the stair case, but I don't get far. as I take the first step a piece of glass cracks and crumbles beneath my foot. I freeze instantly, listening for the beast.*

The beast is silent, though you can hear it snuffling. It then growls, and you can hear its heavy footsteps approaching the building.

*i dash through the doorframe and press my back against the wall. listening.*

You can hear it nuzzling through windows and doorways below. It knows you're inside.

*i quietly slither away from the door and toward the stairway, once I reach the incline I move a bit quicker. at this point I am sweating, almost being killed can take it out of you. after I ascend two floors I run back to the window and look down to make sure the beast is still there.*

It's still there, and it has managed to reach a paw through the front doors of the building.

*the statue still clings to the side of the building it's large and may be able to kill or trap the beast if this works as planned. jester draws the bow with an explosive arrow loaded and fires at the base of the statue. [spoiler]the statue is like a gargoyle[/spoiler] the arrow impacts the base and explodes sending shrapnel in every direction. the creature looks up as the statue begins to fall.*

The beast takes a step back as it sees the falling gargoyle, before it hits its head. It crumbles over its skull, and the beast growls in pain. It steps left to right, dazed.
