ITP: DANGER

[fuckyou_chorus]

[ it's dark! the moon is out! the water has an unfortunately ominous look to it. I wonder if you're out alone. . ? Danger spelled a-l-l-i-g-a-t-o-r. ]

[a Dzurlord is always happiest facing danger alone! But in this case, she is paying more attention to the moon than that ominous-looking water.]

Come, but has that always been there?

[fuckyou_chorus]

[ IT IS OMINOUS ALL AROUND YOU! ]

[tldr_words]

The atmosphere is exciting enough, certainly, but I would much prefer the view of the Enclouding over this nightly counterpart to the Furnace.

[cuebattlemusic]

[ okay fine, have a GIANT ALLIGATOR. It looks hungry. ]

[tldr_words]

[now THAT is worthy of attention]

Ah! Now here is a pleasant encounter: this lizard looks large enough to snap off my very head, should it so desire, and--why, if that is not enough, I nearly think that it could suit its action to that same desire. And the proof is, I spy a tolerably vicious-looking row of teeth peeking out of its mouth.

[ the alligator is also not impressed by your talking and lunges to try and eat you. ]

[tldr_words]

Well, but I think that this creature is nearly as pleased with me as I am with it!

[not having time to prepare her conventional weapons, drawing a flashstone from her belt and triggering it--basically, causing a directed magical explosion aimed right for those jaws]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ luckily for both of us I am a magic resistant sort of alligator. ]

[tldr_words]

Blood of the Horse! I nearly think I recognize this sort of power. Here, let us put it to the test.

[congratulations, alligator, you just demonstrated yourself a serious enough threat to warrant retreating a way so she can ready sword and staff]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ I WILL GIVE YOU ROOM TO DO THAT. I AM A COURTEOUS BEAST LIKE THAT. ]

[tldr_words]

[such a commendably polite beast! coming back in with the intent of using her sword to nail that snout to the ground]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ the gator whips his head to the side to avoid that, and lashes out with his terrifying tail. not a normal gator he isn't. ]

[tldr_words]

[SMACKED BUT GOOD]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ :E turns, albeit slowly, to try and eat you. ]

[tldr_words]

[scrambling to her knees and attempting to shove that sword down the alligator's throat]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ sword goes in! . . . but alligator's mouth also comes down. Alligators have very firm bites. ]
