Snow crunching beneath his feet, Rob waded out into the field outside the hotel. It was already blood-stained and littered with bird carcasses -- luckily no human carcasses, he wasn't sure his stomach could take that. The thought of it, though, got his adrenaline flowing, and as he saw one of the swirling birds begin to swoop down on him, he readied his greatsword. "Come to papa," he snarled. He swung the big sword and connected with the monster before it could attack with its talons or beak. It did let loose with its feathers, though, and one scraped his cheek, leaving a small bloody trail. The bird screeched in pain, flapping its huge wings to escape its attacker and ready itself for another dive. Stats Rob's HP: 50 - 5 = 45Weapon: Greatsword Melee -- Heavy Mod: 10 damage, -1 to hit LONE BIRD Hit points: 25 - 5= 20Damage: 5 each time attacked

"Ow," Rob swore, briefly touching the slice on his face. That s**t stung worse than talons or beak. Brandishing his sword again, he waited for the bird to dive on him again, and swung. The greatsword connected again -- he must be getting good at this, he decided -- and this time managed to swat the bird-creature out of the air with the blade. The monster squawked in surprise as it hit the snow, wounded but not gravely so, and flapped its wings to get airborne again. It still managed to lose some feathers, though, and scooped up a pile of poo to fling at Rob.

He dodged, but not quickly enough as the toxic poo caught his hand with an acidic burn. Quickly he shoved his hand into the snow and wiped it on the fur coat. "Eweweww." Glaring at the bird, he tightened his grip on the haft of the greatsword and swung, intending to dispatch the creature. All he managed to do, however, was knock off a few of its feathers as it evaded the full force of the sword.

"s**t," Rob swore. He thought he was getting better at this. Vowing to get more practice in once he got back to the Prytaneum, he readied the sword and swung hard at the bird again. This time he managed to hit the thing, the blade slicing deeply into one of its wings. Shrieking, the monster flapped out of reach, blood flying everywhere, as it prepared to swoop down on him again.

Eyes on the bird, Rob brandished his sword again. This was getting tiring; the greatsword wasn't exactly a light, nimble weapon. It did do a lot of damage when he connected with it, though. Still, maybe he should investigate other weapons once back at the Prytaneum. He once more swung at the creature as it swooped down on him. Unfortunately the bird got inside his swing before he could connect with it and flung some of its sharp metallic feathers at him. He raised one arm to block them, but some got through anyway, embedding themselves in the fur coat and slicing his hands and face.

Rob shielded his eyes from the sharp feathers and shoved the bird away. The creature flew off to circle again. Returning his hand to grip the sword with both, he once more swung at it as it attacked, praying he hit it this time. The blow was true and knocked the monster out of the sky with a blood-curdling shriek. It wasn't a mortal wound, but the creature was still gravely injured. It screamed and flapped its wings ineffectually as it thrashed on the ground, metallic feathers flying everywhere.

The Dionysus-Chosen was exhausted and bloody as he raised the sword again. "Die, you b*****d," he growled at the bird, swinging at it with all his remaining might. The blow was so hard it severed the monster's head from its body. With a final shudder and elimination of its toxic dung the battle was over.

Rob panted, the cold Swiss air making his lungs ache. He'd done it -- he'd killed one of the monsters all by himself. A smile crept across his face as he made his way to the bird, poking its headless body with his boot. "Heh. Take that, you son of a b***h." Pulling a vial from his coat pocket, he uncorked it, then bent over the body, holding the vial close to the neck. Drop by drop, the thing's blood dripped in. He didn't know what good it would do, but it surely couldn't hurt to have some -- if nothing else, he could give it to the folks at the Lab for testing. With a final boot to the carcass, he scooped up some snow to clean off the blade of his sword, then turned and headed back toward the hotel. Rob's Loot LOOT:91-99: Heart's Blood: You manage to collect a vial of the creature's blood. It can be used once to replenish 3 HP, at which point it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever.
