Deimos shrugged. "I can fight with the best of them," he said, picking up his stone knife. He then snatched a fish and tossed it on the shore.

------------------

James waited for Rocky's response. "Frank, Matt could you two watch the encampment?" he asked.

"The part here is the hammer." frank said showing the part on the back of the Colt. "Slug is another name for the forward part of the bullet and a magazine is where the bullets are held in the gun." frank said showing rocky the magazine. "It is pretty easy to make both but they could not be made here." "I think we can handle it." frank replied.

Dan continued keeping watch over the camp, wondering what the others were up to and how well they were doing at what they were doing. He walked around the outer edge of the camp as part of his keeping watch.

OOC: when did we get to the great valley?

"Wow that's amazing." He said as he turned to James. "Sure, but what is that?" He asked as he ran up and put his hands on the bucket. "Is this your Hu-man nest?" He asked looking at it in awe. he then looked at the SUV. "What is that thing?" He asked pointing to the SUV. "Is it friendly?" Rocky asked James.

Serris · **Reply #224 on:** August 27, 2010, 01:21:14 AM

James chuckled. "That's a bucket. I use it to hold things like water or food," he said. He then pointed to the SUV. "That's called an SUV, it's my nest."

He then headed off to the grove where Deimos had told him there was edible fruit.

Cleve decided not to go into the water after Deimos mentioned that he could fight with the best of these fishes. Deimos was pretty big, and a fish would have to be huge to be able to attack him. Cleve stood by with his armed pistol, in case one of those giant fish decided to attack.

Fortunately, most of the fishes that Deimos caught were of reasonable size, and Cleve started to gut them with a coin in his pocket. It didn't work very well, but it was still better than nothing.

"So Deimos," Cleve asked, "How come you and Rocky can speak English while Red Claw can't?"

Frank finished putting his colt back together before turning to matt. "What were your feeling on John Dillinger you know the famous bank robber." frank asked.

Serris · **Reply #227 on:** August 27, 2010, 11:29:15 PM

Deimos gave strange look at Cleve. He tossed the last fish on the shore. "What's English?" he asked. "Is it a language like Leaf-Eater?"

He then picked up one of the fish and ate it. As he saw Cleve having trouble gutting the fish, he handed him his stone knife. "Use this," he said.

Dan did a circuit of the camp and started walking in the other direction back around the camp as part of his keeping watch.

Dima02 · **Reply #229 on:** August 28, 2010, 01:10:36 AM

"Thanks!" Cleve responded, picking up the stone knife. The stone knife was a lot more efficient than a coin, and it was almost comparable to a real metal knife. Gutting the fish was becoming a lot easier.

"English a language like Leaf-Eater," Cleve said, "Do you know how to read and write in it?"

Serris · **Reply #230 on:** August 28, 2010, 01:17:08 AM

Deimos scratched his head. "Write? Leaf-Eater is spoken," he said.

Dima02 · **Reply #231 on:** August 28, 2010, 01:51:38 AM

"Indeed," Cleve said, not wanting to explain the concept of writing, "we should head back to camp now. We've got enough food for one day."

Serris · **Reply #232 on:** August 28, 2010, 02:00:34 AM

Deimos ate his last fish and picked up some of the fish to carry back to camp. "So, Cleve you think we have time to speak to the Great Valley dinosaurs today?" he asked.

Suddenly, he heard rustling. He sniffed the air. "Cleve, I smell other sharpteeth," he said.

All of a sudden, a raptor pounced on Deimos, knocking him on his back. Another appeared out of the shrubs and eyed the fish hungrily.

Deimos quickly drove his feet into the raptor's chest, throwing it backwards several feet. It roared and circled him again.

He also circled the raptor as if daring it to attack.

The raptor charged him but he was ready; he jumped to the side and pivoted, lashing the raptor across the face with his tail. The raptor's head snapped back from the blow.

The raptor again charged him but Deimos again dodged the charge and leapt onto the raptor, knocking it to the ground and plunging his toe claws into its back.

He then grabbed hold of the raptor's head. Suddenly, one of the raptor's hand claws caught Deimos in the right leg, opening a rather deep gash. He quickly snapped its neck before it could further injure him.

He tried to stand on his injured leg.

Cleve was a bad shot, slow at reacting, and often unconscious of his surroundings, but fortunately, none of these factors manifested themselves. Deimos gave Cleve just enough warning to take out his pistol and hide behind a tree. Cleve couldn't have chosen a better hiding spot.

When the two sharpteeth dashed out of the brush, neither saw him. One of them charged Deimos and was dueling with him, and the other was headed right for the fish that he and Deimos dropped. Not wanting to accidentally shoot Deimos, Cleve decided to go for the sharptooth who was trying to steal the fish.

The sharptooth stood no chance against Cleve's pistol. Despite being a bad shot, Cleve had the sharptooth at almost point-blank range. Cleve was clearly within the sharptooth's attacking distance, but the sharptooth, for some reason, took no action. Maybe it was because of Cleve's faint and strange scent, or maybe it was because the sharptooth didn't think of Cleve as a threat. Cleve exploited this advantage.

Cleve aimed and fired a shot at the sharptooth, who was trying to snatch away a few fish in his jaws. The bullet hit the sharptooth in the base of the neck, and it fell to the ground, mortally wounded.

Cleve quickly glanced at Deimos, who manged to bite his attacker in the neck. Cleve rushed forward and shot the sharptooth who was attacking Deimos, just to make sure that it was dead.

From what Cleve could see, Deimos's leg injury was serious. "We need to get you back to camp," Cleve said to Deimos, "That wound needs immediate medical attention."

Cleve tried to help Deimos up. "Can you still walk?" Cleve asked, "And about these residents of the Great Valley, they don't seem very friendly." Cleve pointed at the dead sharptooth, completely unaware of the shadow looming behind him.

Serris · **Reply #234 on:** August 29, 2010, 02:28:52 AM

Deimos winced as he got to his feet. "These weren't Great Valley inhabitants. Sharpteeth are not welcome here and the Great Valley dinosaurs will kill them on sight. I am one of the rare exceptions," he said.

He found a large tree branch nearby - more like a dead sapling - that he picked up and used as a walking stick. He then picked up the largest fish to take back to the camp.

He then slowly hobbled back to camp.

----------------------------------

James had been harvesting some edible plants when the gunshots reached his ears.

He almost handed his bucket to Rocky to take back to the camp until he realized that he had no weapons.

Hearing the shot Dan looked in the direction where the shot came from, wondering what was going on. He started to take a step in the direction then stopped, thinking it best to remain where he was in case the camp would be attacked and if there are any injured they'd need to be treated & would likely try to bring them back to camp.

He kept his flare gun handy and waited to see what would happen next.

Dima02 · **Reply #236 on:** August 29, 2010, 01:43:41 PM

Cleve picked up a few fish and carefully escorted Deimos back to camp. Deimos's leg injury was very bad, but he was still able to walk back to camp. Suddenly, Cleve heard something moving in the forest. He immediately took out his pistol and hid behind a tree.

"Deimos," Cleve whispered, "Can you smell who they are?"

Frank heard the gunshots and drew both his pistols tossing his colt to matt. "Here take my colt I still have my Luger." Frank said.

"Thanks" Matthew replied, taking the Colt.
