[184] [071] [156] RIP Throm 2.0

Slept way too damn long last night, am filled with regrets. At least I work late tomorrow so I'll have the chance to fix my sleep schedule. Stupid Christmas mall hours.

Today's agenda consists of tagging, cleaning, and then watching Hill Street Blues until Dexter comes on. And then probably watching more Hill Street Blues to wash the taste of blech out of my mouth.


The three of you slip back into the undergrowth and wait for whatever it is to appear. The crashing gets louder and louder until a huge beast comes into view. Camouflaged by its green scales, which blend in with the plants of the jungle, this creature resembles a large pig, but with a long, thin snout like that of an anteater. It pauses as if it senses something in the air and comes slowly towards you. Suddenly you feel the foliage moving around you. To your horror, you realize you are hiding right beside another of the beasts, its camouflage so good that you were unable to distinguish it from the surrounding plants! As it moves forwards, a cry comes from one of your landing party and you whirl round to see a great leg, looking more like a tree stump, descending to crush him to death.

A coin flip has determined that this is the tragic fate of your Security Officer, Throm. It's how he would have wanted it, I'm sure.

A second leg comes down.

Thanks to an extremely lucky dice roll here, both you and Spaceman manage to evade this assault unscathed. You're not out of the woods yet, though!

You now draw your phasers and leap out of the way.

With weapons drawn, you watch the creature carefully. There is a short exchange of calls and your previous 'shelter' crashes off through the jungle. You now stand facing the new arrival.
