2. Skyway Robbery - Faces In The Dark
02-10-2020, 12:58 AM
Andrea goes on ahead on her own (as no one else declared they follow).
With a spare torch in one hand and her weapon ready she gallops fowards along the clearest path she can find. Approximately one hundred and fifty forwards she discovers the likely target of Henry's tracking. A creature the size of a cow with the appearance of an ant eater with dull purple tendrils coming from its ear canals lies on the ground nearly twenty five feet from Andrea. Her torchlight catches the gaze of its four eyes and its short trunk bends towards her in its excitement. It pulls itself along the ground on its two front limbs. As it edges several inches closer Andrea can tell that the back half of the thing has been bound by webs and injected with head sized barely luminscent eggs, more than twenty by her count. She takes another second to scan her surroundings and realize that webs reach between trunks and roots all around the path. Andrea stands ten inches past her ankles in mud.
