Dinosaur Island RPG

"Two creatures that avoid each other like the plague randomly coming across each other and fighting?" Jenkins said with a snorting laugh. "You've been watching the SyFy Channel, haven't you?"

[Godzilla Forever]

"Well, if the croc follows us, and enters the spino's territory, it's possible. Of course, that's only if Mr. Deinosuchus is following us right now..."

[dinoman666]

"Someone's a negative nancy..." Jenkins muttered, climbing aboard after everyone else had as well...

[Giratina93]

She didn't know why, but that last bit from Jenkins caused Persephone to chuckle, but oh so silently as to not let anyone else know. Hopefully, this boat ride would be uneventful, but given their luck... Plus, there was still something about Jenkin's accounts that didn't quite add up... but what?

Hiero shocked by this discovery Shouted in viet. "GOD IS THIS PLACE BEEN MADE INTO LIZARD HELL OR AM I THAT UNLUCKY." After hearing the rest of the conversations he moved over to Barnes and said quietly to him "If this man weren't our only way off this Forsaken Rock I'd say we leave him to his 'pets' and see if they treat him as their supposed God or not, for he most assuradly is mad with the idea he is immortal," throughly irritated at not only the situation but the Scientists lack of concern.

"Don't worry, he's getting a very thorough psych evaluation when we get home..." Barnes growled, sitting down on the deck and leaning against the railing. There were no chairs, and not even a crate or other object to use instead. Indeed, the deck of the ship was pretty much barren except for the mercs and their equipment. The only doorway appeared to be the one leading to the large command cabin Jenkins quickly disappeared into. The windows of the cabin were tinted, so Barnes couldn't tell what was going on inside. That is, until a staccato rumble belowdecks announced the reactivation of the ship's motor. Even as he leaned back to relax, the boat began to slowly move forward, angling towards the center of the river...

[Godzilla Forever]

Maxwell hums a little tune as the boat began to move, trying his best to relax and hope for the best, despite knowing that there is a high chance of bad things happening.

Riley looked about for a bit, gun at the ready, keeping his finger on the trigger in case anything decided to mess with the group. He yawned and looked at his comrades, then went back to sentry work...

[The Kingpin]

As he heard David's answer, Jacob whirled round the doorframe, gazing down the night vision scope, the shine of their eyes amplified through the scope as he pulled the trigger, two bullets streaking towards the two predators...

[dinoman666]

The Troodon seemed to have seen the jerking, aggressive movement just before Jacob fired, and skittered to the sides with incredible speed, their forms briefly illuminated by the sparking of the bullets hitting the lab's ceiling and rafters. The two dinosaurs hissed quietly, then disappeared deeper into the lab, using the darkness to their advantage...

[The Kingpin]

Jacob's shots, though avoided, only served to break the predators' form against the rafters and ceiling, the man tracing the movement of one of the predators as it bolted to one side, a third bullet cutting off it's path by mere millimetres, a fourth following right after, aimed to kill, the short distance and time between the two shots giving the predator no time to react...

[dinoman666]

The Troodon being aimed at instinctively dropped down from the rafters as the third shot passed in front of it, avoiding the fourth shot by sheer luck. Its partner followed immediately after, the two dinosaurs abruptly changing direction and sprinting at incredible down the lab, towards the door, their formerly calm trills now screeches of fury and hunger, their yellow eyes huge and glowing in the darkness...

David angled his rifle to point at the dark colored carnivores, following Jacob's aim and firing a short burst, the rapid bangs echoing through the lab, the flashes casting the shadows back for seconds. The added fire would surely scare the dinosaurs out of their wits, threatening to cause them to misstep and plummet from the struts if the bullets didn't hit their mark...

[The Kingpin]

With a smirk, the man fired two more rounds, the incoming predators having no way of dodging as they closed the distance, the bullets tearing right through the creature's skull, caving it in, as he turned and fired at the second, their glowing eyes making them easy targets to the automatic rifle's fire...

[dinoman666]

The first Troodon toppled forward, but its partner had already closed a significant distance by the time Jacob turned his aim, and the creature was already leaping through the air, throwing off the mercenary's aim just before the carnivore crashed into his chest, knocking him backward with far more force than such a small creature would suggest. His screeched in Jacob's face, digging its clawed feet and hands into the man's torso as it pinned him, long thin jaws opened wide to carve open his face...

[C S]

David's eyes widened as the black blur shot past him and collided with the man beside him. Seconds after Jacob was floored, bullets tore through the Troodon's body along its side. The sweeping shots of David's burst fire at close range ruptured its lungs and slid through muscle. Two rounds found themselves plunging into the creature's leading thigh, shattering the bone and destroying the flesh, causing the predator to topple over before it could have seriously injured his companion.

[dinoman666]

The Troodon made a gurgling howl of pain, then toppled off of Jacob's chest, landing heavily on its side on the floor. It twitched once, then lay still.

The dinosaur was small, only slightly larger than a Velociraptor, but slimmer. Instead of feathers, it had pebbly scales, completely black, with not even the slightest variation in color. In the darkness, it was no wonder, they were virtually invisible. The Troodon's eyes were huge compared to its skull, and despite being glazed over, were a stark yellow color. Its jaw hung slack, revealing rows of short, curved teeth that had very pronounced serrations. Near the front of the mouth, the teeth were larger, and had unusual grooves along the sides. Other than this, it had many similarities to the other raptor species on the island, including the sickle claw on its second toe and grappling hands powered by surprisingly muscular arms...

[The Kingpin]

Jacob panted as he watched the corpse slump over, bullet holes riddling it's flank and a gaping hole in it's chest , the man gripping his combat knife tightly, the blade almost completely coated in the animal's blood, having reached for it as it hit him, stabbing it the same time the bullets had been fired into it. as he got up, he patted David's shoulder. "Thanks mate. A second later and I'd've ended up with a face looking like roadkill" he said as he wiped off the blood from his blade with a thin cloth, checking himself for injury, finding little more than rips in his jacket, having escaped the brunt of the attack thanks to good timing and some luck. The man then turned his attention to the two Troodon, eyeing the creatures that had seemed determined to kill him, even to the point of ignoring his comrade completely. The man brought the blade to the creature's mouth as he stepped on the head, keeping it in place in case it was still alive. using the blade to press against the foremost fangs, he noted the shape of them. "Damn....Now there's a grin even a mother couldn't love. Looks like a cross between a shark and.....and a snake of some sort" remarked the man, mostly to himself. and with that, he stood, sheathing the blade and putting away the cloth. the concept of his own comment worried him. Genetic engineering was this facility's plaything. It was very likely he was right, at least about the snake part. perhaps.....venomous? an eerie thought. Thought began to circulate as to how exactly the rest of the group was managing, wondering if they were still alive, fighting for their lives against vicious predators and a treacherous scientist, or whether they were already dead, filling a series of ditches and rivers, or otherwise some gigantic beast's stomach...

"I wasn't about to let some crazy ***** claw your eyes out" David remarked as he checked his magazine. Because of his careful firing, he still had more than enough bullets in the cartridge with several more on backup. Once reassured of his ammunition, he looked down at the fallen dinosaur. "Glad it didn't get those teeth in you" he said, noting the large fangs. The grooves along their sides looked like an ideal place for bacteria to grow...perhaps it had an infectious bite, or a venomous one...

As Jenkins' boat chugged steadily along, Jack walked past Barnes, leaning on the edge of the boat and staring out. "Hey, LT, check this out," he said, pointing off in the direction he was looking. Barnes grunted and stood, turning to see what Jack was looking at. He was, to put it lightly, surprised.

The forest had thinned and, for the most part, vanished around this area of the river. In its place was a vast, wide plain of long grass. The forest continued far in the distance, but that wasn't the half of it. Dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes were strewn over the fields, like a picture in a children's dinosaur book. The first creatures he saw were a small herd of bipedal herbivores with mottled green-and-brown lined up at the riverbank, bobbing their heads up and down to take drinks and simultaneously watch for predators, or simply stare curiously at the ship as it floated past. Far past them were herds of much larger herbivores, some Barnes recognized, some he didn't. He saw Triceratops, Stegosaurus, towering Brachiosaurus that were too big to be believed, and even stranger long-necked plant-eaters, with sail-shaped arrangements of spines on their necks. Other, smaller herbivores milled among them, apparently using their larger friends for protection. And for good reason: another Tyrannosaurus was near the edge of the forest, stalking its way to the river. However, this one wasn't Sue. Too small, and its scales were a forest green in color. More than likely, a male Rex on its way to drink. Barnes couldn't be certain. He could make out at least one other group of predators in the long grass, judging by the telltale flashes of color and feathers: more Deinonychus, like the ones from the canyon. None of the creatures were of immediate threat, however, so Barnes continued to gaze out over the fields, then looked farther down the bank, where another shape loomed.

A massive alligator, easily 50 feet in length, rested on the shore, mouth slightly open as it basked in the sun. Compsognathus and even the flying Microraptors periodically approached the gargantuan Deinosuchus, picking food from between its massive jaws, completely fearless.

"D*mn, I should've brought my camera..." Barnes muttered, staring at the prehistoric scene unfolding before him...
