✦ Step 1: Capture. ✦
Third time so I need 80-100.
Bonuses: -5 due to being a Drakein, +10 for familiarity = +5 total
Lirkerpts have no demerits or bonuses.
Fail sad
Toki decided this time he’d try a night attack. Day and night made no difference to his blind eyes, but to the Lirkrepts it should make enough difference to allow him an easier time catching them. As he set out into the darkness, he silently glided on the cool night breezes. He breathed deep, enjoying the chill and night scents. While he loved to bask in the sun, there was something about the night that always made him feel more alive and alert. He flew off to a different nest than the one he had been targeting lately. His frills rustling softly in the wind, he enjoyed his night out on the desert. It’s been so long since I last did this… he chuckled to himself; I really have been getting stagnant in my old age. As he neared a nest that he knew Lirkrepts lived in (they had a distinctive metallic scent about them) he sensed he wasn’t the only one out on this lovely night. His nostrils flared as he smelled a fellow Kiandri, though this was a Dragon instead of a Drakein. Toki smiled to himself; Why not see if I still have it in me to battle? Flaring his wings to halt his progress forward, he hovered and opened up his sixth sense, the one that sensed magic. Hot crackling electricity, large and rough, down and a little to his left is what his senses told him. Grinning ferally, Toki reached deep down into himself towards where he knew from long experience, the bulk of his power lay. He had many years of experience and had created quite a few spells of his own. I ought to show this to Grrel… hrmm… maybe once she’s a bit more mature. Knowing her with the amount of anger towards bondeds, she’d use this spell for bad things... like ambushing bondeds. It was a special spell he cast, one that combined Electricity with the surrounding Night. Mixing his magic with the magic of Mature. It’d been tough and difficult to craft, but he’d gotten the hang of it. He grinned and threw his clawed hands towards the place he sensed the Dragon. Black lightning, silent and deadly, flew from his claws, to strike the Kiandri. Bellowing in surprised pain, the Kiandri looked over to see Toki with yet another bolt of black lightning in his calws. This lightning, a mixture of darkness and electricity, hurt far more than a normal lightning bolt. The Kiandri had no resistance to it for one thing. Hissing angrily, it fled into the night, not wanting to tangle with something that threw such unnatural magic’s. Toki chuckled to himself; I still have some of my old flare left, he thought. As he descended from the skies, the Lirkrepts, awakened by the Dragons bellows, screeched and flew about, fully awake and prepared for him. He sighed, no use in doing a night time sneak attack now, blasted Dragon… I’ll try again later; I don’t like getting bitten more than I have too. Grumbling to himself, he flew back to his clan’s hidden valley.
