Monster Wrangler

He didn't know what to do with his face. He smiled awkwardly and waved a little to the crowd. It was a weird feeling. But it wasn't bad. "And KeEep it going for the winners, Calico and Orlok!" His voice wasn't nearly as loud as hers, and of course it had to break as well. Fantastic . Lucy barely eve...

"That would be great. I'd like to visit it sometime in the future if I have a chance."

Desmond met the others, checking over Lucy as she and Orlok were quickly treated by the field staff. He offered his hand to Calico to shake "Congratulations. You and Orlok did very well." He laughed self-deprecatingly. "Heh, I knew I wasn't cut out for this."

Lucy's Turn That definitely hurt. She not enjoying this at all. But she was put into this area to have a fight against the saturnadus she had seen yesterday, so she would do what she was told. She was preparing to attack again, when she heard her human call out to her. Desmond - Instant action (spe...

Lucy's Turn Lucy once more advanced on her opponent, not quite closing the gap to melee range, but getting to within 5' - Just within range of her horn. She swept it in a wide arc, just managing to catch Orlok. Horn Sweep (1 rage cost, no extra), +1 to hit from Shart Horn - 2 successes 1 damage to ...

Lucy's Turn Well, she was stuck to a boulder against an opponent that outranged her. That was not good. Struggling against the ice binding her to the rock, she twisted, and it detached from her shell, leaving points of ice sticking out from the rock. Free recovery roll vs pinned (Strength) - 2 succ...

Lucy's Turn Lucy recoiled a bit when struck by the psychic assault. Stuck to the rock by the growing tendrils of ice, she struggled to move freely. She shook her head to try and clear it. Free recovery roll for stunned ( No successes ) It took her a while, but she finally managed to shake her head ...

He smiles a bit, his eyes going down to Lucy. She'd found a new leaf to play with and was back to utterly ignoring them. "I think so too."

"I'll do that."
He brought his pack around to in front of him and pulled out a quite battered notepad, balancing it on top of his bag to write the name down before returning it to the bag. "I hope to publish some papers myself someday, after all."

A woman who bears a striking resemblance to Desmond pushes herself over to the announcer's table. "Hi, Jason!" she says, grabbing the microphone away from him and leaning down to speak into it. "I just want to say that my little boy, Desmond, has been training very hard for this match, and he's doi...

"I've heard of 'Wigglepede and Me', at least. I'll keep an eye out for them. I'm always keen to learn more about monsters, especially vermin." He nodded at Mr Wiggles "and getting to meet a Kleeth up close is great. Thank you."

He took it. "May they prove their value to the world."

Huh, it seems like these tournaments attract people from the entertainment industry. I guess I can understand that.

He smiled "That'd be nice." Having taken a couple of pictures of Orlok, he lowered his camera, leaving it hanging around his neck. "Hopefully we both make it that far."

Lucy looked up and flopped slightly to one side, bow bouncing. The change in direction meant that the leaf she was playing was blown straight at Calico's face. Desmond blushed slightly. "That sounds good. To be honest, she's not really one for fighting, but Zephids are pretty strong monsters. I just...

Lucy's Turn Feeling drowsy, Lucy tries to shake off the dazzling effect of Orlok, but can't. Free recovery roll vs stunned - failed Feeling herself becoming too drowsy, she unleashes a large blast of air to try to get some space between the two of them. Orlok is buffeted away by the force of the bl...

Lucy's Turn Lucy was familiar with Saturnadus, and although briefly affected by Orlok's display, recovered quickly and delivered a sweeping attack with her horn, connecting with her opponent. 2 rage generated free recovery roll vs stunned ( 1 success ) = cleared stun Horn Sweep (1 rage, no addition...

"I guess so, yeah." He understood it, but that didn't mean that he had to like or agree with it. "I must admit that I was surprised by that as well. I haven't really studied how those work, but they seem vicious. I'm glad they're out of the competition." A show of solidarity? hrmm. "Well, I don't re...

That seems a bit harsh, but I guess that's show biz... "Carnoid research? Interesting... they do have a number of very interesting properties that are worth studying... Has he published anything? I'll check it out." "yeah, I guess so." He sounded vaguely pleasantly surprised. He didn't really 'get'...

Desmond waved back. It was a little sad that only one vermin would be able to proceed, but he couldn't really do anything about that.

"Remember, we've seen these before it the wild. The Saturnadus hunts by attacking your mind. Don't let it confuse you, and you'll be fine."

<no actions>

He pulled out his camera, looking a little forlorn at the mention of video. Those things weren't cheap. One day... "It looks that way. Our two wins, and the forfeit." He also winced at the mention of Mr Wiggles. "I met the trainer of Mr Wiggles yesterday. She seemed nice." A little frustration enter...
