Thousand Boots [Open]

[HIMEKO]

Himeko had to care for herself a bit now and tried to keep Thousand Boots in her field of view for now. He had already turned around and Himeko noticed that some of Grungle’s stones had really damaged him and that small wounds on his back were opening and the wounds inflicted by her rapier were starting to bleed stronger and Thousand Boots were probably opening them even wider by rolling around. Maybe they could use this to their advantage and make him bleed out so that he would be weak enough to finish him with a few boots.

It was hard for Himeko to move with that wound on her belly but hitting this huge gigapede with her rapier wouldn’t be too much of a problem. She was more worried about Grungle. If she would have been in his place she would probably have been flat like a pancake but Grungle seemed to be just fine. Maybe his body physics were a lot different from hers and he could recover from being rolled over by a giant gigapede.

Elias seemed to be fine too and he even taunted Thousand Boots. Himeko was a little bit puzzled what he wanted to do now and when she saw that Thousand Boots began to roll into Elias direction again and gave him the chase of his life and Himeko tried to figure out how she was supposed to keep up with them without making the wound on her belly worse but she instantly noticed that Thousand Boots wounds were opening up. “Keep running!” She yelled and she sincerely hoped that Elias could keep going for a while so that Thousand Boots would completely exhaust himself or even get dizzy.

[Grungle]

Grungle was a master of many things, not just throwing. Star counting , log racing, mast making and something a man with a metal star on his shirt called "loy-tearing". However, Grungle had never been good at recovering from a solid hit to the head, and was currently trying to scale a rock that went up to his knees. He was doing this why again? There was a snake, and it had stolen something. Roots? That would explain the nearby tree, but the roots weren't gone, the top part was. Once Grungle got on top of the rock he tried to get a better look at the roots. Nope, no snake.

Grungle stepped off his rock, falling to the ground. It was okay, that meat selling man was nearby, the one who shoos Grungle away from his shop every day. Grungle was going to challenge him to a duel, so he could eat some meat.

So Grungle stood up, looking for the snake that stole his meat-man, so he could... roots. Yeah. He found the snake, it was huge and rolling after two root-men. So Grungle wanted to duel the snake, cause meat. "I for honer, the Grungle! Of duel we are, now know of weapon for you!" Grungle said, throwing a rock lackadaisically at the meat-snake. He followed the snake as it rolled after his roots, stumbling after it continuously throwing rocks to very little effect.

He was going to duel this meat.

[Elias]

Having absolutely no clue what Grungle was doing (or saying or thinking) Elias decided to follow Himeko’s orders. He turned on his heel and started barreling towards his shield. Once there he dived to the ground, grabbing his shield and rolling to his feet.

In a sudden moment of insight, he started running back towards the tree again, Thousand Boots still following him.

“Move you idiot!” he yelled at Grungle, and dived out of the way of the tree at the last moment. The gigapede smashed into the broken tree again. Elias jumped to his feet again, ready to run again if the gigapede started moving again.
