Spears were some of the most hands-down deadly melee weapons crafted by human hands - humanity had gotten things right the first time in a way. They had a long history of both use in war and in hunting, and a spear could let you inflict grevious wounds on a foe from a shaft distance and easily turned into a staff when they moved in too close to be stabbed. Lianth had the advantage of being obscenely strong and gifted of claws as well - where a Roman soldier would drop his<span style="font-style: italic">pilum</span>and draw his gladius when the spear was no longer of use, Lianth could claw them in the face or grab them and drag them closer to his maw full of sharp teeth.<br/><br/>All of which was exactly why once Kree had left Lianth had decided to spent time seeking out the proper equipment and material to make his own. In the end he ended up making two, two long, mostly straight branches being shaved down into thinner, straighter poles, knotched at the top and a sharp rock slotted in the knotch and bound with vines.<br/><br/>One was balanced for use as a melee weapon, the other with a heavier front end, weighted to be thrown.<br/><br/>He returned to the cave with his new weapons to find Manus there alone - Myri and her sprite were nowhere to be seen.<br/><br/>"Oh jeez.  What a clusterfuck this all is," he muttered. "I'll be<span style="font-style: italic">right</span>back, Manus. I need to find the others. Or at least<span style="font-style: italic">one</span>other. No offense, but I don't want to have to drag your ass along all by my lonesome."<br/><br/>He'd hardly left the cave when he heard a tremendous explosion-like sound and saw the plume of dust in the distance. "Better and better every minute..." he mumbled sarcastically. He hurried in the direction of the plume at top speed, tearing through the dense folliage effortlesly - he was used to navigating dense vegetation at high speed - and it wasn't long before he came across the crater.<br/><br/>It only took a matter of seconds to decide who to hit first. Something had Kree. That simply would not do. It also was an unknown creature that had her and was tussling with a drone - he knew that drones were easy to fend off, especially lone ones. Better to deal with the devil he knew later after he'd removed the unknown threat.<br/><br/>As Lianth emerged from the tree-line his arm was already cocked back, and with his next step he threw his strength and weight into the throw, sending the throwing-weighted spear hurtling towards Nero's back.
