Re: Allevia: Here There Be Giants 2
When it moves, it appears to be nothing more than a blurring of the dark walls or the cave shifting. It then begins moving closer to you, obviously sensing your heat or smell or something. As it gets closer, you see what it is, and where your mistake was.
Whatever made the giant snake-like trail in the dirt had not been going the way that Leo and Mal went. It had apparently been going the other way (unless there are more than one). And now it has doubled back at the smell of new prey.
It is gigantic but barely visible. With a chameleon effect, it seems to blend into the shadows and wall of the giant tunnel enough to make it nearly invisible until it is close enough to strike.
And now it is close enough.
ROUND 0
It opens its wings, which destroys the chameleon effect. It is long like a snake with tan and black markings, but it is huge in size, approximately 30 feet long. It has a scaly, snake like body and fangs like a viper. It has no legs, but has talon-like claws at the end of its wings. And those wings are not bird-like wings; they are bat wings. It is cold-blooded and nearly invisible to infravision as well as normal sight when it is camouflaged and in the dark caves.
But there is something else. Inside its wings are parasitic creatures attached to the side of the creature. The opening of the wings disturbs these parasites, and they release from the giant snake-like body. You see in a moment what these parasites are as they screech in high pitches and fly directly toward you: vampire bats. There are at least six of these bats in addition to the approaching giant creature, which is now about 30 feet away and rearing up to strike like a rattlesnake or other snake when it is getting ready to gulp down a rat.
