Okay, for the benefit of both the recently returned Rat_lady7 and any RPers who want to be sure they're on the same page as everyone else, here is a summary of recent events, and plans for the near future:
Pterano decided to return to the Mysterious Beyond, Amy coming with him so that he could teach her to fly. They told only Pangaea, who saw them off to the edge of the valley (Pterano and Amy planned to spend the night in a cave at the edge of the Mysterious Beyond before heading out the next day). On his way back, Pangaea encountered Ozzy and Strut, who had just entered the valley. While attempting (unsuccessfully) to convince them to leave, Pangaea was attacked by Screech and Thud, who captured him and took him back to Red Claw. His capture was witnessed by Guido, who told the other valley dinosaurs. An emergency meeting was held and a rescue party organized, consisting of Mr. Threehorn, Rebecca, Guido, Anna, Rob, Rick, Longtail, Chronicler, Ruby, Claw (Myrkin), Chomper, Flapper (Kor), Littlefoot’s grandparents, Mim, Belmont, Bron, and a few random valley dinosaurs. The group followed the fast biters’ trail out of the valley (through the pass used by the spiketails in the eighth movie), with Chomper tracking and Rebecca flying ahead to scout. On the way, they were joined by Cyrix (one of GVG’s OCs, a rainbow face). Cera, Ducky, Spike, and Petrie, Littlefoot, and Zaine secretly followed them. Meanwhile, Red Claw sent Thud to gather other fast biters to aid in their attack by surrounding and ambushing the group. (Red Claw’s hope is that Amy will be one of those who attempts to rescue Pangaea, and that he will have a better chance of catching her with the rest of the group busy defending themselves from the fast biters.)
The plans for the confrontation so far are that Ruby, Chronicler, Claw, and Chomper will attempt to negotiate with Screech and Thud (Chomper serving as translator). As the “hired” fast biters are not yet in position, Red Claw agrees, hoping to delay them a bit longer. During the meeting, Chronicler says something insulting that Chomper mistakenly translates, which infuriates Thud, who attacks. This signals the other fast biters to strike, and the battle begins. These are the plans so far for what happens in the fight:
ï Rob fights Thud, but receives a shallow wound from his claws which incapacitates him. However, seeing Rob get hurt infuriates Anna to the point that she attacks Thud and knocks him out. Meanwhile, Rob’s injuryófor some reasonócauses him to change into a fast biter.
ï Longtail attacks Screech and manages to free Pangaea.
ï After fighting off a few fast biters, Chronicler, along with Ruby, scales a nearby cliff and begins throwing rocks at the fast biters. Eventually he, with some help from the gang, manages to cause a huge boulder to fall off the cliff, which hits Red Claw in the leg/foot, making him temporarily unable to stand.
Either after the battle or during the negotiations before it (whicle still being held captive by Screech), Pangaea informs the others present that Amy has left the Great Valley. One idea I had is that he would have Chomper relay this information to the sharpteeth and give them false directions to find Amy, but realistically I doubt Red Claw would believe him.
It might not be too late to have Pterano and/or Amy play a part in the battle, Rat_lady7. Perhaps they could be attracted b the commotion, and Pterano flies in and does something heroic during the battle, which improves the valley dinosaurs’ opinion of him enough that he decides not to leave after all.
Also Rat_lady7, if and when you return to the RP, which of your characters do you want to have back? (I don’t mind continuing to play a few of them.)
