"Aw, someone nicked my box!" "Hm, follow me, they couldn't have taken it far." Sasha follows the tracks, with a good idea which critter might be responsible.
Ron shakes his head for a moment before stopping and considering. "Uh... Sure." He grabs the bottle and takes a whiff. Demina recoils at the amount of spikes. "Is that ice or your skin coming to a point?"
Richard looks for the Sallok, trying to find a job, something to do. ((My alerts have played Hell..But I think I've finally fixed them..I've lost track a bit on where I'm at..))
You trace it back to the building where you encountered the creature feeding. You can hear something upstairs... You sip it, before spewing it out, coughing and fetching violently. You don't throw up, but damn of you've never tasted anything fouler. The creature seems to be laughing in a hornlike-chittering. He gestures for you to watch the rear and follow him while he follows the others.
Sasha and Simo take positions at the door. Sasha slings his rifle over his shoulder and draws his pistol, while Simo readies his SMG. "Seems you called it, big guy." "Maybe; Shall we?" Simo tucks into the building, ready to shoot anything threatening, while Sasha heads for the stairs.
"Good christ!" He doubles over and spits a couple times before straightening out. "What the hell is this supposed to be!?" He asks, holding the 'brew' as far away from himself as he can. She nods, "I think your body is freezing vapor in the air to create those spikes... But it's too cold for there to be enough free water vapor."
" W-w-w-w-well...I-I'm n-no scientist....S-so I wouldn't know...All I am is a scout....D-Demina....W-Where did Simo and Sasha go? "
Bryon's eyes grow wide....More icy spikes popping up...this time actually making a point from his left hand
She takes a couple steps back. "They didn't go alone and should be fine... I just hope Ron and Malcolm aren't in trouble."
There's something glinting in the opposite house that catches your eye... Something... Green... You heard something like metal on metal hammering, but it suddenly grows quiet when you enter the house... You think you've been heard... The thing takes it back and finishes it... It takes several tries, but you end up breaking the hinge to the cabinet first... Inside are a collection of things... Statuettes and beautiful paintings of strange landscapes... A few odd bits of something and what could be a pigment set? You aren't too sure...
