Gliding Urno Style

Subject: Gliding Urno Style 25th April 2020, 12:14 am

Urnotia would emerge from the Kobold Den while being followed by her Alpha Hunting Party, and she would observe each of them briefly before deciding to bark out orders. They were going to be doing things a bit differently this time around, as she wanted to get Kjobosnek to teach them how to climb as she recognized that it was quite a useful skill. "Tonight we are going to head East, there are a number of us and since the Black Wolf Leader is dead we have nothing to worry about. So I want to use this as an opportunity to gather and practice our new skills. So Kjobosnek, teach us how to climb." Urnotia commanded while speaking Kobonish knowing that now that all of them had language she would actually get smooth conversations rather than the janky convos they had before.

Kjobosnek would do exactly as urnotia instructed which was getting him to show the rest of the unit how to climb, he would move towards the nearest tree and place both of his aims at different places before using his legs to push himself into the tree; he would jump down before watch as gnoll alpha would try to hug the tree and climb which wasn’t giving him the best impression and bokadirk wasn’t doing it all backwards which would cause him to fall on his ass. The only one who ever pays attention to anything was urnotia, she would do it exactly how he demonstrated which left him kind of surprised at how she learned the skill so fast.

The sounds of the kobolds failures would attract a wolf beta who had let another beta leave out with the gamma. However only one of the pups had returned safely and with the wolf leader out of the picture there was no one to keep the East forest in check. With the sight of four deluxe sized prey it wasn’t sure who to attack first, but it would swiftly make up her mind as she saw the fat, juicy laid out on the floor. This would cause her to launch herself at gnolalpha taking a bit at his neck as this was the way wolves moved.

Gnoloalpha had survived a lot of scraps in his time spent living and a lot of times a battle was something that happened fast and without any notice. Fortunately he had ranked-up otherwise it could of gotten pretty nasty and when she was bit he would let out a snarl of pain before grabbing at the body of the Black Wolf Beta to hold it in place. Observing such an event would cause Urnotia to jump off of the tree she had climbed, gliding down towards the Black Wolf Beta to lash out at it. She aimed two strikes at it's eyes aiming to dissect them out of it's skull with her Organic Blades as she glided past it and leaving the organic barb in her tail to slash the held Wolf Beta's back. Meanwhile Kjobosnek would climb a tree with Kobadirk holding on to his tail so that both of them could ascend upward. Once they got to a secure position Kobadirk would let go to position himself on a tree branch and would draw his Organic Bow from his tail before realizing that he had no ammo and thus would begin looking for sticks he could break off from the tree. As for Kjobosnek he would begin to search the treeline for something useful that he could throw at incoming threats.

The Black Beta Wolf would come to see its last moments as the urno glided out of the tree to finish the black wolf off, its only regret letting its stomach detour it from its original mission. The defeat of the black wolf beta didn't seem as a concern for kobadirk or kjobosnek as they went to focus on other things that had much more importance to them than a single wolf. kobodirk's search of the tree would come out with a decent result as he was able to find an arrow for his organic barb, kjobosnek would let the sound of his teeth scrapping against each other while drawing in wind be heard however it would cause an echo which had alerted both prey and predators of their nearby location.

Urnotia would touch the ground before sneakily climbing up another tree and remaining perched in the branches while using observe to scan their surroundings for anything useful in the area from her new vantage point. While she did that she adjusted her ears so that her Urd Hearing would be able to detect any monsters coming upon them. Kjobosnek would descend downward before trying once again to hopefully teach Gnoloalpha how to climb, if it wasn't successful he'd give up with a huff, finally Kobadirk would do a fist pump before plucking up the arrow and keeping it at the ready while he used sneak to hide himself within the tree branches. This way two of them were concealed while two of them were acting somewhat like bait though unlike Gnoloalpha, Kjobosnek was not interested in testing his endurance by allowing himself to get hit.

Through urnotia looking around and using her urd hearing she would hear the vibration of something quickly crawling against the ground, which was comparable to the running speed of the hunting party if they ever had to. To no one’s surprise gnolalpha would remain on his ass as once again he would be on his back making it quite hard for him to learn the skill climb but hopefully he didn’t give up on that refused as his thoughts of following his boss instructions would cross his mind, so would the hips of urnotia and the things he’d do given the chance... however that shift in his mind would cause him to space out with the lizardkin standing over his head with his balled fist ready to punch him a new eyes socket or at least break the ones he had. The first punch was something he didn’t need to advocate much of as his fist cent straight for the eye of the kobold hoping to take out his vision or better yet half his eye.

"Cover your face!" Urnotia would command, and Gnoloalpha would follow suit by throwing his hands up causing the Lizardkin's fist to rebound off of his gauntlets. From the treeline Kobadirk would notch his newly gained arrow before firing at the Lizardkin's knee hoping to cripple their movement. Meanwhile Urnotia would growl while channeling mana into her voice to try and stun the Lizardkin, this way Kjobosnek could land a horizontal slash at the Lizardkin's other knee with his greatsword seeing as he was using both hands it would probably hurt something fierce. Koboalpha would use that opportunity to get up off the ground and would keep his fists up prepared for the Lizardkin if it managed to survive those two attacks. "Capture it." Kobotia said as an after thought in Kobonish as she was getting used to speaking the language it was much easier to communicate using it in comparison to the way they used to talk.

the lizard could easily be confused for a black albino lizard, yet he claimed his inferiority with pride however he was much surprised when he heard the sound of something screaming out from the trees. he wasn't given much time to look around before being finding that an arrow was fired into his knee, it would case him to drop his other knee into the ground. kjobosnek wasn't given a very good shot at the knee however he was able to clean remove the leg, making fleeing of the lizardkin less of an option.

Urnotia would see Kjobosnek take off the Lizardkin's leg causing her eyes to narrow and she would try to focus her blood magic in order to prevent him from bleeding out. "Gnoloalpha, knock-him out. Kjobosnek use a rag to tie off his leg otherwise he'll die before we can bring him back to the cave." she commanded with Kjobosnek using the dirty rags that he still had but kept for situations just like these to try to make a tourniquet on the Lizardkin's leg while Gnoloalpha sat on top of him to Hold him in place while punching him twice in the ears aiming to knock him unconscious. "Kobadirk, you'll get your arrow back when we get back home for now keep looking for sticks that we can turn into arrows later." she said while she went back to covertly scanning the area for anything useful and keeping watch with her hearing.

despite kobotia desperately trying to stop the blood from leaking out of the white lizard with her blood magic affinity, however it wasn't as successful as covering the cut with the dirty rags kjobosnek had prior to ranking up luckily for them that the lizardkin would lose his life however he was fainted from the strength of gnolalpha punches. well some of them were lucky as kobadirk was unable to find any branches to use as an arrow even if he did he wouldn't be able to use it due to him not possessing the ability to craft it into a useful object for his bow.

Kjobosnek would pick up the fainted Lizardkin and would climb a different tree before placing him in one of the branches properly balanced so he couldn't fall out of it. He would return to the ground before tossing the severed leg of the Lizardkin towards Urnotia who would glide out of the tree to try and catch it. If she was successful she would continue to glide to another tree before climbing up it and then would drink the blood from the leg before eating it. Meanwhile Gnoloalpha would proceed to carve the Black Beta Wolf using his organic barb as he had been taught back when he was a Kobold. It seemed that Kobadirk wasn't having any luck gaining anymore arrows and thus would try to move to another branch and see if he had better luck there. They still hadn't reached their quota yet, they needed more meat to bring home to the pack.

despite not knowing catch it wouldn't have bee anything to difficult for her to learn, even with the recently discovery of the climb skill. this allowed her to catch it rather than have it throw at her head and potential damage her before a big haul. gnolalpha had put it quite the hours into carving the black beta wolf, however his mind wasn't as selfish as some members of his team, who'd knew he wanted a piece of action but however turned to a lizard. he would be able to carve two arrows for kobadirk who bad luck streak continued to strike, however kobadirk ventured off to another area to find a sole armored tanuki sleeping at this time. It's weakness was almost to adorable to ignore but it was more of the choice of their leader than his own.

Subject: Re: Gliding Urno Style 26th April 2020, 12:45 am

Using observe after she finishing eating and drinking she would spot Kjobosnek looking at the Adorably sleeping armored Tanuki and would project her voice with a distinct command. "Kill." she said using the language that they all knew and sure enough Kjobosnek would move into action swinging his Albion Greatsword to swing downward as it was gripped in both hands aiming from the sleeping Armored Tanuki's snout. He was aiming to essentially chop off not only it's nose but also part of it's upper and lower jaw a surefire way to ensure death on a sleeping target. But that was why it was important to double tap, and thus after completing the first swing he would swing again aiming a horizontal cut at the bloody wounds to ensure it died. Urnotia would whistle at Gnoloalpha who would nod before tossing both arrows at her as she glided across to catch them and then land on the tree that Kobadirk was perched in. Kobadirk would nod in thanks before adding the two arrows to a bag made out of rags that he was using as a makeshift quiver for the time being. Gnoloalpha would go and sneak into the bushes as now that they two potential sources of bait whatever they did attract would be much more interesting than before.

With the group deciding to hide themselves from the upcoming enemies, who had a nose for the smell of blood as well as the tongue for it. they would slither into the area the meat was left before, deciding who was going to take the first bite. the two would be there for seconds before one took a bite of the meat then continued with its buddy to eat the food as it doubt it was poisoned. the tail of the two would give slight shifting movements before pause almost as if they heard something but would then continue.

Urnotia would observe the recently entering targets before making a gesture with Kobadirk aiming at one of their eyes before firing off an arrow, and then following up with another arrow aimed at the others eye before shifting positions so that they couldn't spot him from his previous hiding spot. Kjobosnek would drag the armored Tanuki back to where Gnoloalpha previously was though he would toss the corpse forward as a distraction upon spotting the intruders and would circle around using sneak before bursting out of the shrubbery and aiming a two-handed swing at one of their necks with his Albion Greatsword. While this went on Gnoloalpha would emerge as well moving in-between them to aim a Wind Fang at their remaining eyes each seeking to blind them. Urnotia would merely watch from above channeling mp into her throat in order to use Ambient Mana: Growl Twice in a row to try and halt them in place so that her allies could avoid retribution.

the events would go exactly as urnotia planned however that the night viper who'd lost both of its eyes still had another way of moving around which was through the location of things with its tongue, however due to no one moving after dealing the damage to it. Being that it was clear to them that it was an ambush they would slither back into the direction they came from before, since they'd realized the meal wasn't worth their lives.

"Tch. Go home. I'll stay here." Urnotia commanded the other three who would shrug before picking up the corpses and the unconscious lizardkin before heading home. Meanwhile Urnotia would sigh before using glide to continue moving from tree to tree through th forest, perhaps this time she would actually find something worth bringing back to the Den. If not, well she'd hopefully kill enough things to give her a real test. She would actually start to head west as she figured that was the more dangerous part of the forest and thus would be more likely for her to run into something worth fighting with. "To think, I thought they were formidable when they first showed up." she thought to herself as she sneakily prowled through the sky her eyes and ears sharp for other things moving through the forest, or hopefully something of interest.

Upon entering the center forest she would notice that it was a different ball game, there was less tree which made her gliding from tree to tree a more tenuous task, however she'd be able to do that without much effort. urnotia would notice that the predators were a bit more diverse, they were stealth even almost could be considered of a different tier compared to the rest of the forests. with time she would come to a pause as things weren't as quiet as they all seemed to ne, if she was able to use hear ears she would hear many battles going on in this forest with monster who don't belong; however those battles would soon end long before they even began.

Despite the thoughts of her spying on the rest of the monsters in the forest there was one in particular that focused specifically on the area around the central forest. waiting for something to test his strength

Urnotia would listen to the sounds of the forest before using observe to try and pinpoint what sounds were that of conflict though when they died down she would shift her attention to any commonality between such events. With her vantage point she knew she would have a better chance of spotting something interesting especially if they were also looking for her. She was confident in her concealment capabilities as well as her scouting potential, but she figured it was about time for her to try and learn how to track something. As such she would lean forward a bit before trying to search for particular tracks, broken twigs essentially evidence that something moved through the area.

being that urnotia was such a fast learner, she was able to pick up on a skill that resembled the human hunters. The branches that she looked at would be completely squashed underneath the feet of something bigger maybe even as big as his foot. She would see that a part of the earth leading into the thick of the center forest was stomped almost initial daring anyone to follow them, so that it could slaughter its meal. upon following the footstep she would come across a bugbear with no distinctive marks on it body however he seemed confident in the way he stood and waited.

Urnotia would spot her prey and would use observe on him to see what he had on him before jumping off of her tree in order to sneakily glide over to him while clutching her organic blades. She would drop down like the prowler she was and would aim for specific spots on his body as she used Dissect to pinpoint which points were more likely to cripple him. Her go to with Humanoid creatures would have to be the shoulders, and she would slash at his shoulders while passing from behind him with her tail lashing out to strike one of his ears as she landed on the ground. She would quickly turn to face him and would let out a growl backed by her mana to try and intimidate him her eyes trained on his body as she was eagerly waiting the opportunity to fight something that wouldn't just flee from her.

being that urnotia was given the first shot it would seem that bugusam was onto something when he allowed his opponent to get the first shot at destroying his armor, however it wasn't exactly how it seemed with urnotia dealing a lackluster of damage to him which was absorbed by his black wolf pet and his stomp hog helmet. he would spin his bladed horn spear in his two hands before lunging the blade at the back of urnotia, he would continue after by spinning the polearm around so that the back of the polearm hit urnotia in the top of her head.

Urnotia wouldn't expect her first strike to falter in such a way but, she wasn't a pushover and thus would sustain some damage to her Gnoll Cloak with the first strike with her touching the ground and turning to dodge with her Basic Monster Weapons assisting in leaning out of the way. Though it would hit her Wolf Leader skull and deplete some of it's durability she was excited as he was the first one to actually seem to know what he was doing outside of those in her pack. "What is your name." Urnotia said with a growl once more attempting to intimidate him into freezing up as now that she got a better look at him she could see he was quite well built. Of course the talking was merely a distraction as she knew once he froze up she would be able to target his body specifically rather than risk him divert her strikes to his armor, it was an interesting amount and she didn't want his armored ruined.

Sadly... Bugusam only spoke Goblin and didn't understand Urnotia. A cruel barrier but one you'll overcome nevertheless! Though Bugusam had a fear encroach his heart. It surrounded him. He was still. He was scared. What in the worlds did this flying pest do to him, it had just been squawking at him!? Bugusam kept a brave face and looked rather angry. But his body wouldn't listen to him. He was helpless.

Urnotia would smile at her fortune before using multi-attack twice in quick succession as she could afford to go all out with her opponent so helpless. She would use Observe to strictly target the parts of his body which weren't clad in armor such as the wrists, elbows, and both of his eyes. However she wasn't trying to kill, merely maim so that she could retrieve him for her pack as she could see he was quite the specimen and she was sure his genetics would make for strong babies. She would begin with the eyes, slashing at them before spinning so she could use the organic barb in her tail to slash one of his elbows then with her second rotation she would slash both of his wrists and follow-up with a final tail slash to his other elbow. With this he would at the very least be blinded and hopefully unable to hold a weapon which would make him unable to run as well as unable to fight back which was the perfect state for a captive to be in. But what was the best part about this was that she would be able to freely attack him without running the risk of messing up his armor or weapons as such useful gear could easily be repurposed for her pack.
