Notail Simulator Beta (4/4)

You look at the hunt swarm. You're feeling really confident and your friend eggs you on to join them, so you do.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 7 is rolled.

The kids look at you with some distaste, though they allow you into the swarm. They aren't overly excited about you, they can sense you've never swarmed before, or even been on a team based outing. As the leader of the group tries to explain what they're doing today you get lost and your friend is too into the speech to explain it to you. You try to ask the other E-classes but they shoo you off, not wanting to be stuck with such a newbie.

When the orders are finish the swarm automatically starts heading out of the village. You start to regret this, you don't know what you're suppose to be doing. You look to the other swarms, maybe you can join them, but they've left a long time ago, only a few straggler E-classes who weren't happy with any of the swarms left. Your friend excited to be on his first hunt has followed the swarm, and you do to, lagging behind.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 10 is rolled.

A notail sees that you're confused as the swarm stops and starts collecting items and building spears. You try to mimic as best as you can but yet again, find yourself lost. The other older E-classes scoff at you for being so dumb. One E-class starts marching up you. You get ready to be yelled at.

"Here let me help you! q:"

It's the leader of the swarm, E-47. She's going to be leaving to the woods in just a few months and says she wants to show everyone she's ready to take the lead of that year's swarm. So far she has won quite a bit of favor for how helpful she is. She helps you build spears. They're not great spears, they're not bad spears, they're just spears. With the extra time she teaches you some weapon making skills. As the swarm gets ready to move she tells you one last thing.

"Stay in the back and just watch us today, maybe hand the spears you made to the others if they run out. Maybe next time you can join in the fight! q:"

You agree with this statement. Your friend returns to you proud of the single spear he made. You tell your friend you want to stick to the back of the pack for now. He awws, but agrees.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 4 is rolled.

You don't remember what happened to well. One moment you noticed a large trail of tailmic notails and stopped to point it out to your friend. Your friend was excited to see the little guys, but you remembered the entry for them, didn't that mean someone hurt was nearby?

A small tree toppled as the giant land bird surprised the group, cutting you and your friend off from the main group due to lagging behind. While it missed its attack it had blood on it's beak.

You're glad you didn't go trekking outside by yourself today like you normally do.

The bird screeches at you and your friend and takes aim.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 18 is rolled.

But the swarm starts tossing their spears. The bird spins around to attack the bigger threat to it. Your friend grabs you by your hand and you both run away from the land bird safely.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 6 is rolled.

But minutes pass, and both of you become lost. Your friend starts climbing a tree when he grabs a strange vine. Soon him and the "vine" fall to the ground.

A strange lizard like had hung it's tail to find prey using it. On its back were small babies, they had to be only a few weeks old. You aim the notail encyclopedia at them and scan the species.

The wild gwech uses its tail to push all five babies off its back before screaming at you and your friend and charging. The mother thinks you want to hurt her babies. You try to back up but the gwech trips you with a headbutt. You fall to the ground.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 4 is rolled.

You attempt to use your spear but even from this close spot you utterly miss out of fear. You've never been attacked before. The gwech aims for your neck but you pull your hand in front of you. It bites down on that and flings it's head back and forth shredding into you.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 4 is rolled.

Your friend apparently was knocked out by the fall. He can't help. No one can. You try to pull out your lucky knife. This was your only chance.

The gwech claws you, tossing the knife far away from you.

You did the only thing you could do at this point. You screamed for help. Anyone. Anyone at all.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 8 is rolled.

But no one answers your calls. The gwech rips you apart.

You just hope your friend got up in time to run away.

-




ONLY TWO LIVES LEFT. DO NOT WASTE THEM.





-

You feel like you have a migraine as your friend drags you through the area in fear of the bird.

You thought you ran away from that already.......

Your friend slows to a stop. You two have become utterly lost.

You moreso than him, as you distinctly remember.....dying......you died? Your brain has a hard time processing what happened, you're so distracted you don't notice your friend climbing a tree to get a look around until it's too late.

"Wait no don't grab that vine! =3"

You tried to warn him but he pulls the tail of the gwech and it comes falling out. Due to your warning he manages to sink his claws back into the tree before he falls as well.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 1 is rolled.

The gwech screams and tosses its children off its back, charging right for you.

Even though this happened before you still freeze. You didn't want to feel the pain of dying again but you stand there like a deer in headlights.

The gwech jumps on top of you and shreds your arm again.

Suddenly your other arm grabs your knife. This time you know to hold on for dear life.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 17 is rolled.

Your friend grabs the gwech's mouth and pulls it open to free you. It tries to shake him off but your friend holds on tight even though now the teeth are hurting his hands.

You remembered what the S-classes told you. If you don't know the weak spot of your opponent always aim for the neck if possible. With this knowledge you slice the gwech. Your knowledge of knifes makes this easy. The gwech struggles for a moment, your friend lets go and it stumbles off of you and over to its babies. It poorly attempts to hide the babies under its tail before slowly sinking into the grass and dying.

You just killed a living being at the age of 5.
It's dead.

"Free babies! We get free babies! =3" Your friend yells as he pushes the dead mother to the side as if it were trash to discard. The babies are too scared to flee. Your friend holds two in the air like prizes.

"Come on same face! Get a baby, or two! Babies are perfect for taming!.....Buddy? =3"

Your friend is trying to talk to you but you're distracted by your shredded arm. You've never seen.....so....much......blood......

You pass out.

"Oh, you're waking up! =3"

You sit up. You are currently in your room. Your arm has been wrapped up and while it hurts, you can move it. Your friend jumps off your bed and runs off to get something from his room.

You open your notail encyclopedia. The last thing scanned was a gwech, but you only scanned that....before you died.....

Your friend runs in and tosses a bag right on your lap.

"Hey...what happens when you die? =3"

"I dunno. =3" Your friend says as he jumps back on the bed and opens the bag. He's so excited about what's in the bag he doesn't even care about the question you asked and why a 5 year old would question death itself.

He opens the back and there are 5 baby gweches who start screaming the moment the light touches them out of surprise. He pulls out and shoves it in your face like it's a toy.

"You get one, then I get one, and I'm going to give the others to my friends! We captured some really good babies I think! =3" He slowly shakes the baby in his had as he talks. It screams louder.

"This one in my hand is screamy! He screams about everything! He's a boy, you can tell cause he has feathers on his head! =3"

"This one is lazy! He's bigger than the others but he's really slow and doesn't scream as much when I shake him! =3"

"This is taily! She's a girl, you can tell cause she has no feathers! She has a long tail! =3"

"This is speedy! She's fast but she bumps into walls all the time! =3"

"And this last one is midnight! He's way darker than the others and drools a lot! =3"

You quickly forget everything that happened due to all the ugly babies being shown to you. You're so happy to get a pet!

"I'll let you pick first cause you got all those bites! =3"
