Isla Sorna Stories RPG

[The Kingpin]

The charging Tenontosaurs skidded to a hault, rearing up and bellowing at the raptors, as meanwhile the herbivore being attacked threw itself against a tree, the blow barely missing Howler, but the following movement ripping him from it's flank, Fatalis kicking wildly at the herbivore's throat, slashing into the thick muscle, the first blow being a flesh wound, the second cutting through the muscle, and the third and final kick slitting the throat underneath. Just as he was about to leap off, an enormous pair of jaws burst from the water, slamming shut on the herbivore's chest and pulling it back into the river, Fatalis pulled in with it, the Raptor's eyes wide with shock as he went under. the other Tenontosaurs retreated, running for safety, as the sight of three sets of scales in the water hinted that two more Deinosuchus were moving in towards the kill, unattentive of the small predator attached to it, Fatalis having already been pulled into the center of the large river, the current forcing him, along with the attackers of his kill, downstream...

"Fatalis!" Howler screeched, scrambling to his feet. "What the hell?!" He sprang towards the river, but stopped himself, cautiously creeping towards the river's edge. He had barely seen what had happened, but it looked like a crocodile had attacked them. He didn't want to get too close if there was another nearby...

[Pyronychus]

Sylicora and Rhojis faltered, their aggressive calls dying away as they dropped their act. There was a moment of confusion in which they wondered why the entire herd was running and what the sudden yelling from behind was about, until, looking around, they realized that something had gone drastically wrong. Sylicora felt something inside her drop horribly, glancing at her brother to see a look of confused fear in his mismatched eyes. "Rhojis, where's Fatalis?" "I don't know, I was looking the other way! Howler?" The gray raptor shot off toward his only other visible packmate, his sister hot on his tail. He slowed as they approached the river, Sylicora's voice ringing out from behind him, calling out to the green raptor in an unusually high tone, "Howler, what going on?"

[dinoman666]

Howler stared blankly at the river until his packmates snapped him out of his reverie. "A Deinosuchus!" he shouted. "One of them stole the kill and dragged Fatalis with it! We need to save him!"

[The Kingpin]

Fatalis tumbled through the water, trying desperately to get his head pointing downstream so he could control his direction and swim to shore, but the current and the rocks made the water rough, sending him in a constant tumble. his head broke the surface for a moment, the raptor wanting to screech to get his pack mates' attention, but barely managing a gasp for air, before going under once more, the Raptor by this point out of casual earshot to the others. as something rough brushed up against him, his blood ran cold. something hit him shortly afterwards, Fatalis barely making out a large, scaled tail moving from side to side ahead of him, as everything faded out, blackness overcoming him...

[Pyronychus]

"What?! Stole- dragged him... H-how do we do that?!" The gray raptor yelped as he came to an ungraceful stop near his packmate, a look of pure shock on his face. "Stay calm!" Sylicora nearly screeched as she came skidding to Rhojis' other side, sounding as though she was trying to convince herself of her own words. "W-we need to think of something now, and we can't mess up!" Out of the corner of her eye, she thought she caught a glimpse of something on the water's surface downstream. "Uh... uh..." Rhojis seemed to be fighting with himself, on the verge of panicking. "Just... just go the way the water's going and look for... anything under the surface!" he blurted out after a moment, mentally running in circles. He couldn't see a way out of it... Their options were either brave the Deinosuchus or lose their leader... if they hadn't already... "Let's go then!" Sylicora shrieked, sounding frantic, turning and shooting off downstream, keeping a few feet between her and the water's edge. Her brother glanced wildly at Howler for a split second before tearing almost blindly after her, the world and their course of action a blur...

[dinoman666]

Howler wasted no time in tearing after his two packmates, his mind racing to try and come up with a way to get Fatalis out of the water in one piece...

[The Kingpin]

Fatalis, unconscious and unmoving, was hardly visible amongst the churning waters of the river, by now easily several hundred meters away from the others, the fast moving river taking him far from the hunting ground, the river branching off ahead, taking him down a path on the opposite side of the river to where the others were, out of reach...




Rook needs more.....must have more....please master...give Rook MORE thought the Giga as he walked slowly towards a large body of water at the side of one of the few genetic labs on the island, rusted chainlink fencing forming a hellish barrier around the horrific material. one of the fabled Polluted Lakes. the Giga waited for a moment, as if waiting for permission, before stepping forward, as if in acknowledgement of some unheard command, lowering his head to the liquid, gulping down massive mouthfuls of the lab waste material, his eyes widening as his pupils narrowed, his breathing becoming erratic and uneven as his throat burned with the thirst that followed, driving him to drink even more in a futile attempt to quench the thirst...

Near the river, five raptors were rapidly finishing off a young edmontosaur they'd managed to bring down. Two of them were female; one was a light green in color, with gentle but intelligent scarlet eyes. The other was more muscular, orange with a paler underside and jet-black stripes. Her green eyes were locked on the river, knowing Deinosuchus would take advantage of a distracted predator if they got the chance. The other three were male, though two of them were noticably smaller than the rest. The older male was a deep navy blue with a pure white stripe stretching from the back of his head to about three-quarters of the way down his tail. His eyes were a color somewhere between the blue of the sky and the blue of the ocean. The first of the two younger males was a dusky gray in color, his eyes a fiery amber. And the other was a pure white raptor with ice-blue eyes.

The striped female raised her head as a dark shape under the waves caught her attention. "Ruby...." she hissed warily. The red-eyed female, presumably the leader, looked up and growled, "Trouble?" "I don't know. Keep sharp while I take a look." Ruby nodded slowly. "Alright. Be careful, Blackstripe." Blackstripe dipped her head and trotted towards the water, keeping a safe distance as she followed the dark shape.

Having now reached the lake, Maloriak lowered his head, taking in a mouthful of water, enjoying the feeling of it running down his throat. Upon swallowing, the raptor looked out at the lake surface carefully, looking for anything that might betray the location of a deinosuchus. The surface of the water was still and the only things floating on the otherwise smooth surface were several leaves. After scanning for several more seconds, Maloriak relaxed and began to bring his down again to resume quenching his thirst...

[Evil Eye]

Bane continued forward into the woodland, sidestepping trees along the way. It was fairly still and desolate. There were no sounds to be heard, the area was extremely quiet. Too quiet, thought the Dromaeosaurus. It was an uncomfortable silence; the lack of any noises isolated him, almost making it feel like there was no other life here.
Just as he thought about it, the air started moistening, as he pressed on through the forest. Continuing forward, he could smell the signs of a waterhole; there had to be life here. He started walking in the open as best he could, loudly making his way toward the body of water, hoping he was entering something's territory...

[Pyronychus]

Sylicora was breathing harder than she should have been simply from running the short distance along the river, feeling a horrible, cold dread sinking into her very core. "See anything?" Rhojis called from behind, his eyes darting frantically over the river's surface. "No!" the olive raptor yelped back. "Nothing at all! He's just gone!" Glancing up ahead, she came into view of a split in the river, just visible through the trees, and with a groan of utter despair, slowed to a stop and stood staring at the junction, arms falling limp at her sides. Her brother shot past her, coming to a skidding halt and turning to glare in horror at her, screeching, "Come on! We can't stop now! He could be close!" Wide-eyed and panting, she shook her head. "How do you know? What if we went right past him? Maybe he's trapped at the bottom somewhere!" "Wha... well I don't know, but it isn't likely he- Just come on!" "Which way? Can't you see the river splits?" He glanced over his shoulder and fell momentarily silent, his face falling as he turned back, jaw opening and closing soundlessly before he muttered hopelessly, "Wh... what do we do now? How can we... We can't just... give up..."

[dinoman666]

Howler caught up with the two raptors and looked both ways, panting hard. "I think... we... need to... split up... if we... want to find... him..." he gasped.

"Say, Im going to go stretch my legs" Hazel growled, nodding at the group of lilensternuses. "You two catch up while Im gone" The female raptor growled to both Switchblade and Rose before turning around and walking into the brush.

Sakro looked down from his tree as the pack of larger raptors waited. He hissed down at them to scare them off, and, seeing as it didn't help, flew off. "those stupid land-dwellers", he thought to himself as he decided to go find a carcharodontosaur to attack and lighten his mood, snatching a large lizard from the trees below in one gulp.

[The Kingpin]

several kilometers away and a whole river bank across from the others, the raptor washed up between a pair of rocks, still, unconscious, and barely breathing...




Meanwhile, Crusher stood amidst the trees near the edge of his territory. without his regulation the herds had drifted from their places in his territory. more so than usual, at least. for years he regulated small herds of herbivores within his borders, literally herding them using scare tactics to keep them from leaving, rotating them around to keep them from stripping the territory bare of food. it kept him and his family well fed, kept his territory intact and kept the animals satisfied. it was as perfect as predator-prey relations got. whenever the herds got too big he'd hunt alone and strike in the middle of the herd, splitting them up, then steadily chase the seperated half out of the territory, while his son or mate would steer the rest of the herd deeper into the territory to keep them seperated. it wasn't a perfect system; the young seperated from their parents would inevitably try nd find them, and vice versa. this task was time consuming, and frequently left the territory exposed unless Crusher assigned one of the usual two helping him to patrol the territory. one of the adults was always left to watch the nest, and Serena. But today, things had been set. with him was Rampage. Hunter, being the lighter and more versatile amongst them, was told to patrol. and Lightning was in the nest, watching Serena. The Patriarch took a breath, letting out a long, rumbling snarl as he strode forward towards the heard, pushing the trees aside as he approached, the herd of Parasaurolophus making a series of fearful hooting calls, the scout making a shrill rippling, chirp-like hoot to the others, the herd beginning to circle in on itself to move in a single mass of bodies. Crusher smirked. typical defensive tactic....and the one he was most used to breaking up. as if on cue, a Tyrannosaur's bellow boomed on the other side of the massive game trail, Rampage stepping out from cover and moving into position as a series of terrified chaotic honking began to ring out in the herd, the herd's members warning eachother that their escape plan was at risk of failing...

[Iceking]

As Maloriak swallowed another mouthful of water, he suddenly glanced up, faintly hearing sounds coming in his direction from the other side of the lake. Whatever was making the noises was clearly making no effort to conceal itself, but it did not sound like it was something the size of an Allosaur or larger. Then a breeze blew in the direction of the raptor and he picked up a scent: a Dromeasaurus's scent. Either this Dromeosaur didn't care that it was making a lot of noise or it was a very arrogant creature...

[Hopeflower]

Rose nodded and listened to the sounds Hazel made in her retreat.


Blackstripe had lost track of the shape under the water. She was disgusted with herself. Call yourself a hunter? she snarled inwardly. She glanced over her shoulder at her siblings. She knew Ruby didn't like her to take off randomly, but the orange sister wanted to be sure they weren't being stalked. She headed further downstream at a quick trot, her striped body slipping noiselessly along the riverbank. If she followed the current she had a fairly good idea of where the shape she'd seen would be carried. She just had to be careful; the crocs here were vicious and cunning. One misstep and she'd be dinner for one of those belly-draggers.

[jasonguppy]

Sakro fluttered down and pecked at a small dead fish washed up on the side of a river. He saw a dromaeosaur, a ground dweller, nearby and hissed before taking off with the fish in his jaws.

A while later, the dark brown female came to yet another thin spot of vegetation. Palm trees stood nearby with their curved trunks, leaves swaying in the ocean breeze. From here she could see the waves crashing onto the beach, the sand warm underneath the late morning sun. She was just about to move on when a green snout with a black stripe along the bridge of it poked itself out from a bush, nostrils flaring. "Wait a minute," the green raptor growled, taking in the scent. "Water...salty air...Hazel" He paused for a moment to keep sniffing before he added "I can use my nose again. Progress. It smells...good"
"...Why are you behind a bush?" Hazel growled as she cocked her head. She didnt pick up Aircrest's scent...which meant he was around these plants long enough that they masked it. He couldnt have been wandering the jungle for that to happen, the odds that he was off on his adventures and came back to the coast to lay behind that bush were enormous. But at the same time, the notion that the raptor had been resting and not speeding across the island was proposterous!
"I decided to to take the day slow. Is it really so hard to concieve?" Aircrest growled, turning his snout towards Hazel's direction. "Question is, what are you doing here? I thought you were with the others" He barked. "I took Rose to see Switchblade not too long ago, then left to take a walk. Then I ended up...here...talking to you" Hazel replied, still finding it hard to believe that Aircrest was laying down here for most of the day. "Good to see that your getting better. Whatever you've been doing is working"
"Eh, I need a change of scenery" Aircrest growled, pulling his snout back into the bush. There was a loud rustle as he fought the bushes around him for space, the branches shaking back and fourth. Once he got to his feet, he stepped through the shrubs and into the open. His body was darkened from the dirt he laid on, with some leaves clinging to his body. Hazel snickered. "I also need to take care of....this" He barked.
"So where are you headed?" Hazel asked. "The rocky part of the beach some ways down, with the tidal pool and such." Aircrest answered. "You?"
"Probably going to stick around the area before checking up on Rose in a while" Hazel growled. "Then Ill see you later" Aircrest barked, turning towards the beach and walking towards the stretch of sand. "Dont let anyone see you like that!" Hazel called out to him with a snort
