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.

-
[b]Nathaniel sprinted out of the doorway, moving around the side of the mostly broken barracks and trying to hide behind the walls that remained standing [/b]
-
The snake passes him, looking around for it's prey. It's tongue flickers out to taste the air.
-
[b]He had begun climbing upwards on some of the ruins, trying to get to higher ground [/b]
-
It seems to sens him, turning and coiling itself up to strike. More acid venom drips from it's two main fangs.
-
"Shit... Shit.. Shit..." [b]He stopped about halfway up a twenty foot wall, maneuvering around a ledge onto the other side, behind the wall and than continuing upwards [/b]
-
The snake strikes, it's head crashing through the wall. It's venom begins to eat through some stone as it attempts to topple the wall Nathan is on.
-
[b]Nathaniel moved upwards further as the wall shook violently. He was quickly nearing the top as he himself tried shoved the wall, though rather poorly [/b]
-
The snake thrashes against the wall, causing cracks to form on it. It hisses and roars at him.
-
[b]He finally reached the top, and and stood upon the small platform that remained. As the cracks formed across the ruins, he kept off the side of the platform and onto the beasts head, stabbing into its flesh with the dagger [/b]
-
It hisses and squirms. The dagger sinks into it's flesh, but fails to pierce the thick skull as it thrashes.
-
[b]He keeps a firm grip on the knife, which is dug in deep enough to make it difficult to get out With all the excess squirming from the beast, the cracks within the ruins worsened and it seemed ready to fall [/b]
-
The creature shrieks in pain and attempts to crush Nathaniel against the ruins.
-
[b]It didn't work fully, the final squirm caused the entirety of what remained to collapse downwards onto it's back and neck. Nathaniel rolled to side and withdrew the knife, sliding down it's side and then reinserting the knife, effectively slashing the side of the beast's head [/b]
-
Several large chunks of stone crash down on the snake, making it shriek in pain as it's pinned down. Green blood oozes from it's wound.
-
[b]With the smoke clearing, Nathaniel makes his way to the ground and continously stabs into it's neck, and head. [/b]
-
It thrashes, spraying acid venom at him as his attempts to free itself.
-
[b]Nathaniel dodged to side of the and behind a piece of debris. He began once again climbed upwards, but this time used the several that had crushed down onto the beast. He now stood on its back, stabbing into it mercilessly [/b]
-
It writhes in pain, It's blood spraying from it's wounds.
-
[b]He continued his onslaught of stabbing, not tiring or slowing down [/b]
-
It finally stops struggling and dies.
-
[b]Nathaniel withdrew the Knife one final time, grunting as sweat beaded down his forehead and chest[/b] [spoiler]Actually kinda proud of myself! I didn't use magic, instead relying on environment [/spoiler]
-
The creature dies, stopping and twitching.
-
[b]He sighed to himself, sliding down the beast and landing on the ground. He looked around for a moment, not quite remembering were the LZ was [/b]
-
He remembers the flare he was given in his bag.
-
[b]He digs through the bag, pulling out the flare and activating it [/b]
