You guys should have got my corpse and threw it at its mouth.

My armour might make it require some dental work.

He's going to poison the water after he drinks it! Don't give him the bottle!



Eargh. This kind of came close to being a warning because I'm not in the best mood. Making little quips is cool and all but please don't be so random, not to mention unfunny. We'd still like to see people put a bit of thought into their posts, regardless of the fact that this is a gaming thread. -Friendly Neighbourhood Moderator.

Game Events
It is about 6pm. The sun is getting glare-y as it starts to set.

The rollers 'enter' the swamp to see a huge, 20 foot long, mouldy-looking Swamp Gator rip a tree straight out of the ground - although the ground is kinda soft. Of all things, Vladimir falls out of the tree just before the Gator flings it off elsewhere. Vlad lands just in front of the Gator, knee-deep in the Swamp-water. The Gator hasn't seen where he is yet, nor has it seen the new arrivals.

CURRENT SUB / OBJECTIVES:
Defeat the Gator!
Find the Fabled Tree - through the swamp and past the mountain ridge.

Ambush the gator, stabbing it in the eyes.
Probably not the smartest move, Brother, assuming you're watching. But hell, better on him than in the water.

HEN, you probably need to get closer before you can toss a semtex in Gatorzilla's mouth.

Shoot the gator in the stomach, so as to avoid shooting the man trying to stab it.

Equip the Mk. III (loading a stun shell next turn), and lock onto one of the gator's eyes.
None of my weapons are good enough to actually hit the gator without hitting Vlad, so I'll be support.
