Isla Sorna Stories RPG

Alira nodded. "Agreed." Her eyes occasionally switched from watching the stegosaur to watching for the female raptor's black-and-white hide.

Selena made sure she stayed at a safe distance, even when she was next to the stegosaur. She deliberately stepped on a twig, which snapped with a sharp crack. She let her flank brush against the leaves of a nearby bush for good measure, trying to keep the herbivore's attention on her progress rather than on the ambush she was sure Blade and Alira would set up.

After sitting the water for a few moments, the raptor made his way back to shore, water dripping off of his scaley body as he rose up. He made his back into the long grass, snout poking through the tall stalks next to Hellfire. "So...got any plans for today?" He asked with a growl...

[Evil Eye]

"Aye, that'ssss what they all say. That'sssss what my old pack sssaid, before attempting to kill me. I've sssseen it happen one too many timesss," the raptor hissed indignantly, still staying wary of the potential threats, despite the apparent pack-leader's reassurance...

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness snorted, but said nothing more on the subject. "Why, exactly, are you two so friendly with each other?" he growled after a moment, knowing that Crusher knew of the Lili from himself and Steeltalon...but it seemed strange, considering what had happened to the group.

[The Kingpin]

"We live in dangerous times, Darkness. We need to keep as powerful a grip on our allies and friends as possible. any past issues i've had with allies; territory problems, arguments, disagreements, i'm putting aside for the sake of keeping close connections to the ones i know. This is a strange world, and the only ones alive that i know have come to a place like this before are you, Hunter and I" growled the Rex plainly. "You may preffer to hold your grudges, but in times like these, you will only be putting yourself in a more difficult position" he added, the Rex shaking his head, the shallow waddle that had formed under his neck from age rippling with the movement. The Rex eyed the surroundings, noting a faint scent nearby. Ceratosaur. one of the ones he had chased off previously. the male, to be precise. for now, he made no movement to hint he knew of it. it wasn't the only scent he could smell...



Above Lightfoot, a low hiss eminated from the trees, it's owner unseen in the shadows of the branches...



The Stegosaur groaned uncomfortably, turning it's head towards the source of the noise, turning so it's flank was facing it, to make defending itself easier. Blade was circling around at a distance trying to get to a position where he was directly facing the creature, movingi n the opposite direction of Selena so that they'd cross paths at different distancs from the herbivore, slipping past it's senses and getting it in the side when it continued following Selena's movements...



"Not really. more exploring. as per usual" hissed Hellfire as he gulped down one more mouthful of the Homalocephale's flesh, the creature by this point mostly skeletonised...


"I'm not telling you to trust us. I'm offering it to you. If you fear us too much to trust us, i won't hold it against you. But if you can find the will to let yourself relax, i can offer more. I'm building a pack and am taking in Raptors in search of one" hissed Fatalis, glancing towards the others, checking for any opinion in case one of the pack members didn't agree with what he was saying...

[Giratina93]

Lightfoot peered up, tryin gto see just whom hissed at him, the Ceratosaur began to back up slowly, not wantin gto draw any attention to his location...

[Evil Eye]

Renegade let out a small sigh, not able to decide. He knew having a pack would benefit him, but he also knew what would happen, should he join one.
"I think you'd be bessst knowing more about me before making sssuch an offer. Do you want know to know why I was kicked out of my lassst pack, and almossst killed by them?"

[C S]

"Wanna go look around this island, for old time's sake?" Aircrest growled, a smirk on his maw. "Ill be waiting..incase you take up my 'offer'." Aircrest added, glancing over to the iguanodon before pulling back, the grass rustling as he moved through the cover...

[The Kingpin]

"It occured to me, yes. Will you enlighten me?" growled Fatalis as he eyed the Raptor....


"S'pose it couldn't hurt" hissed Hellfire as he straightened, licking his fangs clean of the blood, heading after the Raptor...


"Why do you watch them, Ceratosaur?" hissed a voice in the trees above Lightfoot, not seeming to b getting any further away, as if the voice was omnipotent, present wherever the Ceratosaur went, or perhaps maybe even a figment of its imagination...

[Hopeflower]

Selena went a few more steps, making as much noise as she dared. She kept a careful eye on the stegosaur's movements.

Alira had been behind Blade until she saw the herbivore turn, presenting her with a golden opportunity. Now she stood half-crouched, trusting to the shadows and the undergrowth to hide her form until the time to strike.

[Giratina93]

"It is none of your business!" Lightfoot hissed at the source of the voice. The ceratosaur kept backing up, knowin that if this went on, he'd be found out by the large T-rex, which was the last thing he wanted...

[C S]

The rustling picked up as the black striped raptor increased his pace, navigating his way through the tall weeds near the strange lakes. A few minutes passed before he stepped onto a path, like the one he stumbled onto the night before. "Hey Hellfire!" Aircrest growled, turning his head back. "Ive got a few stories to tell you as we go our way..."

[TyrannoTitan]

"Maybe for you. I've got nothing to lose." Darkness growled plainly, cocking his head. "I just don't feel it necessary anymore. Lucky for you, eh?" he hissed at the Liliensternus, smirking.

[The Kingpin]

"Maybe not. but i make it my business to know just about everything i have the opportunity to know about, and at the moment, you represent one such opportunity" hissed the voice, the hint of a shadow streaking in front of Lightfoot, gone again before he could blink, too fast to identify, though it was roughly the size of a young Dilophosaur or Raptor...


"Good to know. Haven't had many interesting stories happen to me in a while. it would be nice to hear something enjoyable" hissed Hellfire...


the Stegosaur groaned as it moved, sideways towards Serena, tail beginning to flail threateningly, as Blade continued to circle around, intending to catch it from the front by surprise....

"Better for everyone that way" growled Crusher as he eyed the Raptor, trying to gauge the truth in his words. Darkness was a good friend, a formidable enemy, and a skilled deciever. he didn't want to have to restart the whole fiasco over some grudge that was several years old and no longer worth thinking about...

[Giratina93]

Lightfoot snorted in irritation. He had overheard the large T-rex talknig about an old raptor named Ripper while he has eavesdropping on their conversation. Perhaps this was that very same Ripper dinosaur..."You know, going around and stalking lone predators like that will get you killed.." Lightfoot hissed...

[Evil Eye]

Renegade took a deep breath.
"It ssstarted with a sssimple fight over rank, or leadership... each of usss believed the othersss' decisions harmed the pack... I won, as it were, and the one I fought ended up being injured. He then got wrecked by a triceraptopsss, as we were hunting them, becaussse he couldn't run fasssst enough... the ressst of the pack held it againsssst me, and you can guesssss how it went from there...
I'm willing to give a pack another try, but I don't know if it'd be in your best interesssts... just think carefully before accepting me, that'sss all..."

[C S]

"Well, have I told you of the time some Megaraptor tried to kill me? I think that story's a classic...." The raptor replied with a bark, walking down the path...

[The Kingpin]

"They can try all they like. I'd look at your situation before talking of stalking...Makes you a hypocrit when you take it into perspective" hissed the voice as it continued to circle Lightfoot. "In the mean time...tell me....why ARE you watching them?"...


"Well, if there's a disagreement in the pack we leave it up to the pack to decide whose right or wrong, not the two in question. no easy solution will come of an argument between two Raptors without intervention from the others. You aren't bound to the pack. if you decide you don't like how we do things, feel free to leave. I won't hold it against you. I admit my methods are....unorthodox. very few packs you'll ever come across will have a leader willing, or capable, of doing the kinds of things that I will do if the need arises" growled Fatalis. "Most Lone Wolves never become pack Raptors. it goes against their entire lifestyle. I'm one of a handful that have left the Loner's life behind to pursue a life with a pack....but that doesn't mean i've left the knowledge life as a Lone Wolf has given me behind. I believe i am easily capable of keeping the pack safe"...



"....A Megaraptor?" growled Hellfire, not entirely believing the Raptor...

[Hopeflower]

Selena stopped making noise, moving noiselessly out of range of the herbivore's lashing tail. She found herself looking for Blade and Alira, wondering when they intended to attack.

[C S]

"And his friends" Aircrest added with a sly growl. "But Im still walking, running and clawing my way through life"
