"Predator. The one from the movie?"
-
Cannon laughs. "No, thank the Manda. There are some real big nasties in that jungle, kill a big one and you get more respect from the clan." Cannon tells him.
-
"Understood bossman." [b]Nathaniel got to his feet and stretched out. He had left his weapons in his apartment at the dojo [/b] "Any of you have a knife by chance?"
-
The skeletal Mando draws an old looking knife, covered in runes, and hands it to him. "Good luck, lad." The ship doors open, revealing a clearing in the middle of the jungle.
-
[b]Nathaniel took the blade and turned.[/b] "Here goes..." [b]He jumped out of the shuttle into the outside world [/b]
-
He hears the heavy thump of a satchel land beside him before the transport lifts off.
-
[b]Nathaniel grabbed the satchel, checking it's contents [/b]
-
Food, a flashlight, a compus, rope, and water are inside, as well as fire starters and a few other survival items.
-
"Great..." [b]He rose up to his feet and slung the satchel over his head and began moving through the jungle [/b]
-
Less than ten feet in a giant Venus fly tap attempts to eat him.
-
[b]Nathaniel rolled to the side, and out of the Venus Fly Trap's range. [/b]
-
It hisses at him and pulls back.
-
"What the hell...."
-
He notices several more of them, none within range. In the distance, something howls.
-
[b]He moved towards the sound of howling, careful to stay out of the traps range [/b]
-
Several times he hears scuttling in the foliage, but nothing jumps out at him.
-
[b]Nathaniel moved towards a tree and climbed up to gain a better view of his surroundings[/b]
-
All he can see are the tops of trees in all directions, too thick to see through. In the distance to the east is a large rocky outcropping that's bare of almost any foliage.
-
"Great... Just great." [b]He dropped down, manipulating the air around him to soften the fall [/b]
-
About half way down something leaps at his face. It looks like a hairless monkey.
-
[b]He blasted it with a fireball as he fell, and the fireball enveloped the whole thing in flame, burning it away into bones and Ash [/b] [b]He landed on the ground with a small thud and started jogging deeper into the forest [/b]
-
He eventually arrives at the base of what looks like a moss covered mountain.
-
[b]He started moving up it as best as he could [/b]
-
Some of the moss tears when he grabs it, revealing the 'mountain' to be made of hand crafted masonry.
-
[b]He knocked his fist against it, listening to see if it were hollow [/b]
