Location: German Coast
Ve sat around in his camp, going through his equipment and the new acquisitions from his latest hunt.
He'd found more Trolls than he'd expected, but it wasn't all that bad.
Their fat could be used as a fuel if gasoline or diesel wasn't available (not advised), and it made for one hell of a fire-starter and wildlife buffer.
The meat of a Troll isn't exactly edible, but that's why he always stayed on or near the coast, since Troll meat was perfect for attracting sea life when the ice could be broken through.
Besides that, the bones were useable, and the skin could be made into a tough leather after the right steps are taken.....
'Oh why bother, I'll handle it tomorrow, its not like it'll go bad over night.'
He leans back against a boulder, and kicks up the fire he'd rekindled this morning.
Satisfied that the fire would keep and his rifle was close, he nods off to sleep.

-
[b]Things went quiet, for a while Until a faint rustle was heard[/b]
-
Upon hearing the rustling, Ve's eyes snap open, and he jumps to his feet and chambers his rifle in one motion. Trolls wouldn't have followed him, since he'd spread the ashes of an Alpha near his camp, so it would have to be something else. He shouts out a warning in his mother tongue, and sweeps his eyes and rifle over the immediate area.
-
[b]Drowners Everywhere, circling his little camp, as they let out a high pitched scream[/b]
-
Upon realizing the threat, Ve snaps back into his own little world of adrenaline and hate. He kicks the fire over to cut off his rear, and draws his pistol with his left hand. He puts three shots into the heads of three Drowners, and his pistol jams up. Dropping the pistol, he levels his rifle in both arms and waits for the charge......
-
[b]They all charge, when one tackles him from behind[/b]
-
Ve pushes forward when the impact hits, and rolls away from the Drowner. He draws his knife from its sheathe with his left arm, and slashes it across the abominations throat, before turning and spraying his rifle (one handed) into the crowd of Drowners around his camp.
-
[b]They keep coming, until a blood curdling howl is heard, as they panick and disperse[/b]
-
Sheathing his knife, Ve grabs his pistol from the ground, clears its jam, and reloads it with his left hand. Shouting another warning in his mother tongue, he kneels with both weapons sweeping back and forth while he looks for the cause of the noise.
-
[b]A loud crunch is heard, then a loud, bellowing roar[/b]
-
Ve moves over to his fire, and grabs the torch he'd prepared a few days ago, and an aerosol can that he used to store troll fat. He lights the torch, and plants it into the ground in front of himself, rifle in one hand, and the aerosol can in the other.
-
[b]Trees are knocked down, as a massive hulking figure is slowly illuminated[/b]
-
[spoiler]Brownpants engage[/spoiler] Ve sees the figures outline, and freezes, waiting for an opportune moment to strike.
-
[b]Nothing appears, as it walks into the clearing standing on its hind legs, as its unleashes another defeating roar, beating its chest[/b]
-
Ve remains still, loathe to let a creature rout him from his camp. He breathes slowly, and very carefully loads a buckshot canister into his 40mm.
-
[b]It roars again, and slams a fist down in front of him, sending him backwards[/b]
-
Ve stops himself from sliding in the snow, and fires the 40mm into the beasts face. Hoping it'd be distracted just enough, he pulls out his lucky lighter and the aerosol can while he scrambles away.
-
[b]It doesn't do much, as it lumbers after him, its heavy footfalls shaking the ground[/b]
-
Ve sprays the aerosol can, and lights the stream with his lighter, spewing a massive gout of fire in the direction of the beast.
-
[b]It reacts, swatting at the Fire in a vain attempt to kill it[/b]
-
Ve takes the opportunity to grab his axe. He swings the axes piercing end into the ankles of the beast, and lights fire to the ground it stands upon in an attempt to stop its movement and burn it.
-
[b]The axe does little in terms of damage, but the fire startles it once more[/b]
-
Frustrated at his lack of output, Ve climbs onto the back of the beast while it is occupied with the fire, and upon getting up to its shoulder, he swings his axe as hard as he can into the eyes of the monster.
-
[b]It strikes one of its four eyesz as it roars, and one of its massive hands grabs the man, throwing him to the ground[/b]
-
Ve crawls backwards, and draws his Colt to fire at the beasts eyes while he goes. If he could find his rifle, he could load AP ammunition, and hopefully he'd be able to shoot straight through its skin.
-
[b]He misses every shot, the bullets pinging off its thick hide It takes a step forward, grabbing him again as it throws him into a nearby tree[/b]
