The trailer creature continues to claw its way across the ground towards them, it's massive talons digging into the rotten soil and hauling it's howling and gibbering bulk forward.  It's massive maw snaps and drips poison as it drags itself single mindedly towards Sara.  The few remaining dogs circle her though the pack leader hangs back; dodging in to nip at her heels, seeking to drive her towards the hungry monster.<br/><br/>As Calvin pads through the slowly rising black ichor, and the poison spirit's singleminded pursuit of the retreating Sara offers him his opening.  Launching himself forward his claws strike sparks against the creature's twisted metal skin as he scrambles up it's side and onto it's broad back.  The monster ignores the little fly on it's back as it screams it's rage.<br/><br/><strong>Game mechanics:</strong><br/><br/>Sara - the snarling pack of near-dogs inflict 1 level of lethal damage as well as a -1 distraction penalty as they seek to drive you towards the large monster.<br/><br/>((I'll have it start attacking after your next posts but I'll try and wait to give all three of you the chance to decide your actions first.  Thanks :) ))
