What? If it doesn't wanna serve Block, It can serve me as materials in an experiment." Hungry launches another firework in the general direction that the Allosaurs ran off to.
"Hungry, you STOP THAT RIGHT NOW. I'm done being nice here!" Ziphora snarls.
Ziphora's anger manifests in the form of sweeping winds as she grows a pair of lightning horns and stabs it into Hungry.
"OW! That hurt! Hungry lets loose another Firework targeting Zip.
Chanting and waving Hungry tries to conjure energy for a spell.
Dark energy gathers around Hungry as he darts towards Zip.
Dark energy begins to form around Hungry but Zips attack disrupts his concentration causing the energy to disappear harmlessly. "Jerk! I wanted to use that energy!"
Ziphora's bite slips off Hungry's magical force field.
Ziphora deftly dodges Hungry's attempt to touch her with those dark energies. "Die, you foul warlock!" She screams a battle cry as she continues to impale Hungry with her Lightning Horns.
Wow, I didn't know you guys cared about the lizard so much. I woulda helped. Says the head who couldn't help.
Mo watches in considerable distress, not sure if he's supposed to be helping somehow. The dinosaur, meanwhile, though singed by Hungry's blasts, managed to get away.
For the record, MOTHER NEVER LOVED YOU!" Waving the gestures and melding his words with a magical incantation, Hungry sends a wave of magical energy at Zip.
"Rawrrrr!" Ziphora gives a loud yowl as she latches on a soft spot of Hungry's neck while he's distracted."Mother would be dissapointed and ashamed of your actions today, you fiend! Shooting at things in the back for the sake of your experiments!"She screeches. She then backs off to zap Hungry with an empowered blast of lightning.
In her zeal to land a solid blow, Ziphora's aim is slightly off, as the empowered blast cackles near Hungry's head.
Tomorbataar looks on as Hungry and Zip begin to fight, briefly wondering who will win. He looks distressed for a moment, turning to Dru and whispering, I didn't know we had a mother. How was she shaped?
Hey, STOP THAT YOU TWO!!! blockhead says, as he joins in with a BONK towards Hungry and then to Zip
And then uses the rebound to bonk heads with Zip
He was MY RAPTORBUNNY, so I gets to deal with him, an he left. So I guess he doesnt wants to stay so we lets him make thats decisions. sniff.. As for you two, we both knows what happened to the head that Ma liked most... An we all ate him for its. He gives an evil eye to each of them. Now we BOTH dont want that, so leave Ma outs of it...
An quits it you two, or I am going to KILL myself making you quits it >:(
Tomorbataar looks on as Hungry and Zip begin to fight, briefly wondering who will win. He looks distressed for a moment, turning to Dru and whispering, I didn't know we had a mother. How was she shaped?
From what I remember she was like us, but more "dragoney." Religious, She had the different color heads like we do. She was pretty strict, but well my rememry aint so good.
Ziphora is caught commpletely off guard as the traitorous Blockhead crashes right into her like a truck. "Why..." she gasps, as she gives Blockhead a hurt look before collapsing onto the ground.
His concentration completely devastated by the onslaught from Zip and Blockhead, Hungry's spell backfires for a split second. He begins falling in slow-mo, "No fair... dirty ... lit...tle... chea..." Hungry hits the ground with a thud, out cold.
Hothead looks disappointed at the unconcious heads and Blockhead. "Blockhead! I didn't heal you just so that you could continue hurting yourself for no reason! Keep that up and you'll have to go find your own healing magic!" He moves closer to Zip and Hungry. "Sigh... Well, I'm not going to drag two unconcious heads behind me gods know for how long. Guess I'll have to heal them up as well..." he says, beginning to charge up positive energy, but then his expression changes from a resigned frown to a diabolical grin and the healing force falters and dies down. "...Or do I?"
The grizly deed done, Hothead turns his bloodstained visage towards Rorl. "I'm deeply sorry about the delay, Segreant Rorl. My siblings can be quite troublesome sometimes. I'd suggest that we countinue our journey before they grow back and start fighting again."
"Oh, excuse me for a moment, Sergeant. I think I saw something twitch."
Hothead votes to keep going.
...And guys, guys... Guys? Blockhead yells at the two unconcious heads lying on the ground.
he yells then smashes his head into the ground, both in frustration and to make a point.
Blockhead makes a sizable crater in the ground inbetween the two heads as pieces of rock and dirt go flying. Point made.
But why did ya halfta, uhh, ya halfta... uhhh...
Aaaaannnnd then he faints...
The last thing she remembered was Blockhead ramming against her. Then nothing. Then pain. "Ouwwch!"She yelps as her small head shoots up and expands to full size. Then she felt more or less fine, except a little tired from the whole experience. "What the hell happened?" She gives Blockhead's prone head a bitter look. "I'm not talking you. Not after what you've done."
Over the next 18 seconds, the rest of the heads get the eerie feeling that Hungry is staring at them while angrily pouting. With a sickeningly loud pop a skull and bones erupt from the stump where Hungry was followed by a wave of organs muscle and skin as Hungry reforms. "OOOWWWWW!!!!!! THAT ALWAYS HURTS SO BAD!" Hungry stretches his newly formed head and neck along with winces and whimpers of pain. With a final groan, "Blockhead knocked us out then someone else bit us off. Which one of you was it?!" Hungry eyes up everyone but Zip.
Ziphora notes her chomped up head stump a short distance away, now that Hungry has pointed it out. "Oh yes, who did it?" She glares at all the other heads.
"And now...just deserts, for your betrayal. Too bad you aren't awake to witness this." She stalks over to Blockhead angrily, and manifests her horns, then impales him with it.
Dru-head watches as the heads repeatedly and viciously murder each other, turning his head to face each in turn as they take great pains to inflict great pains on one another.
I don't, ugh- guys- would you- GUYS. Cut that crap out. We're wasting time. Human. Lead the way.
Dru-head votes to move towards the camp.
"Did you see who did it?"Ziphora demands of Dru-head.
Yep. Dru-head answers.
"Then spit it out." Ziphora continues to glare at Dru-head. "I've got some things to say to my murderer." There's a hint of suppressed rage in her voice.
I forgot. If he could shrug, well, this would be the shruggiest.
"God d@mn it, Dru, how can you forget something that took place less then a minute ago, you scatterbrained idiot?"Ziphora rails at him."Tom, did you see who did it?" She then turns to Hothead. "Did you?"
Dru-heads cunning poker face isn't telling. The small amount of drool doesn't have anything to say either. The blank "nobodies home" look is silent as well.
I may have seen, Tomorbataar begins, looking at the sun. Must have been the lizards, we'd better hurry up and get at them fast, huh? Tomorbataar says the words halfheartedly, hoping to change the subject.
Tomorbataar votes to proceed to the lizardfolk.
Ziphora turns to Rorl and Mo. The lizards did it, right? Then tonight we march to war! We shall not falter, we shall not fail. We shall make them pay in blood for their henious deeds. Who's with me?" She hollers.
Ziphora votes to go to the lizards and let loose the hydras of war! Rawr!
"Ummm... actually, it was him!" Mo says, pointing inconclusively at first Tomorbataar, then Hothead, then wavering. "Ummm... maybe?"
"The truth is," Rorl adds, "We can't really tell you apart."
As they speak, you start walking down the road. Rorl hurries to take the lead. "Yes, let's move on. They're this way," he says.
Hungry chuckles menacingly. "Yes let's get moving. Lizardmen won't just kill themselves, even if they did it would be no fun."
Hungry votes to get going.
As we walk hungry gets close to Rorl and "whispers" quietly in his ear, "I know you lied about not being able to tell us apart. I would appreciate it if you were honest with us from now on. Just because I'm low on spells doesn't mean that the ones I have won't hurt like a motherf****r.
I'm the red one! Dru-head adds cheerfully, not paying full attention to the human or Hungry.
"Good grief...we're all different colours. And we act differently. You mean you can't tell us apart?" Ziphora gives an exasperated sigh. "Well at least we know it was one of our sibheads. Which is disgusting. Who would be such a based backstabbing b@stard to kill us when we're down?" Ziphora ponders out loud.
"Rorl - you say it is one of the other heads but you don't know who?" She asks Rorl.
An idea comes to her and she glares at Tom."Tom - why did you put the blame on the lizards. You have something to hide? Like...you murdered us?"Ziphora bares her teeth at Tom."You'd better start explaining in 6 seconds or I'm going to run you through."
Yes, that's rather odd, we're not at all similar, rather different in every possible way, Tomorbataar says, moderately offended by the idea of being lumped in with the rest of them.
Run me through? With what?
"This."Ziphora grits her teeth and manifests her lightning horns and holds it at Tom's throat briefly. "Talk, or the next time I shove them through. I'm running out of patience!" She snarls at Tomorbataar.
While Ziphora is busy threathening Tomorbataar, Hothead casts a quick spell.
"Leave him alone, Ziphora!" Hothead shouts, having finalized his worst-case preparations. "It was me who decapitated you. Thought I'd teach you two a lesson about fighting among ourselves but it seems that I overestimated your capacity to learn from your mistakes. Now could you please calm down and stop shoving those horns everywhere, or do I have to cut you down again?"
You? Run out of patience? But you're so...peaceful... Tomorbataar says, eying the lightning before him but not flinching from it. There is only a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Besides, you were just on the same page with the rest of us about the lizards, that is, we'd best kill a few first before we diplomatize the rest of them.
Ziphora is overwhelmed by remorse in nearly going after the wrong hydrahead. Her horns immediately dissappear."Ss-sorry, Tom. I nearly killed you based on a wrong judgement."She apologises in a small and meek voice, crouches down, unable to look at Tom in the eye. "But since it wasn't you, why didn't you tell us the truth earlier, instead of blaming an innocent third party?"
Ziphora looks at Hothead murderously as he confesses her murder, but molifies after he provides the explaination. "Fine, you have a point. But biting someone off while they're down is a dastardly act. Don't let me catch you do that again."Ziphora warns him. Ziphora mutters under her breath,"At least I know who my true sibs are,"while she looking at Hothead warily.
Ziphora votes to go to the lizards.
You make good progress the rest of the day, but as evening falls you still haven't left the human's big road. It seems to go a lot further than you remember now.
"It'll be another good day's march from here to reach the spot they said to meet at," Rorl said. "We should probably make camp for now, though."
"Mmm. Some food would be nice before we bed down for the night. Also, any caves near by? If it rains it's going to be a wet night." Ziphora observes.
Ziphora votes to go find some food, and a sheltered cave to sleep in.
A minute later you each feel feelings of intense distress and of being "lost." You all feel (or at least you think that feeling is what you feel, its all kinda odd feelings) what seems to be a lump trying to grow through your shell on the back and when that didnt work it tries again in a different spot. Eventually it emerges through a spot a little off of the old "Blockhead" with an exaggurated BWAAAHH!! and looks around in a daze.
Huh.. What was I? Oh, last I remember I was trying to save Zip ann.. ANN!.. Blockhead looks around frantically as if he lost something importiant.
Then he spots Zip; OH thank goodness! I was soo worried, I am so glad that you were safe! I had thought I had lost you for good for a moment an I was trying sooo hard to protect you. Yay! Blockhead looks at Zip with some of the biggest puppy eyes you had ever seen and then rushes over and nuzzles her a bit.
... Oh ya, you too Hungry. I guess...
As they travel down the road Blockhead keeps himself occupied by gnawing on his old neck stump (he brought his head with him) and occasionally smacking things with it.
When Zip comments about food Blockhead looks down at the stump in front of him and then offers his own neck for her to eat...
Ziphora shieds away from Blockhead and glares at him with a look that could freeze blood. "For someone who knocked us out and left us at the mercy of another head to chew off you're surprisingly unremorseful."She remarks scornfully. "I expected no better of you. In fact, you disgust me, and I don't ever want to speak to you again."She gives Blockhead a look of disdain."Curse me for being a fool and even try to help your causes to begin with."She looks down her nose at him.
"Oh, and I murdered you earlier. You had it coming. What kind of Hydrahead would ask for a pet, make no effort to protect him, leaving it to another, then betraying the other by attacking her when she was defending his pet? A total jerk and b@stard of one, let me tell you. And a hypocrite as well, trying to pretend to be concerned after."Ziphora angily gives Blockhead a piece of her own mind.
When he offers her his stump. Ziphora gives him a disgusted look and jerks away."Do you think I'm some kind of cannibal?"
"Me have food! Mo proudly pronounces, hefting the crudely-made dinosaur-skin sack he's been carrying. Setting it on the ground, he opens it to reveal more cuts of Allosaurus meat.
"Oh wow Mo, what would we do without you?" Ziphora is genuinely delighted at those surprises coming from Mo."Can you get us some fire wood, and I'll get a fire started and cook it."
Blockhead backs up a step when Zip chews him out.
But I was trying to... umm. I was tryin to protect. He doesnt finish the scentence and his head droops a bit.
Ya. I is sorry. I couldnt catch tha Bunny right, an then he didnt wanna stay with me so I lets him go. An then you twos tried to help me with its but you ended up fighting. Blockhead's head droops even further An I couldnt stopps you.
Blockheads head is almost on the ground by now and he drifts towards the back of the body.
I did bad, you is right. I is sorry.
He then spends most of the trip on the road hanging out at the back and draggimg his old head in the dirt behind them in big, lazy arcs.
When they get to the camping spot and Blockhead offers his own head but gets rejected he starts to think (an odd look of disgust and determination) and then lights up with an idea.
Quickly he heads to the side and starts to gnaw on one of our legs.
Chomp! Umpf! lick... Would Munch. This. Gnaww... OUCH! Gnaww... Taste better? he asks while trying to chew off one of our legs for us to eat.
Ziphora listens to his apology but makes no comment, her expression neutral. Durung the trip, she totally ignores Blockhead.
"Which part of cannibal did you not understand? Did you think what would happen if our legs don't grow back? How are we going to get to lizard meet tomorrow?"Ziphora berates him. "Blithering idiot. Even Mo is more useful then you are, he's got a bag of raptor bunny meat." She tries to push Blockhead away from chewing any legs of theirs.
