Gordon focuses, and switchs into his dragon form. Standing about twenty feet tall from his claws to the top of his head, Gordon's scales are a deep azure blue, with a faint red glow between them. He lowers his head to look closer at the creature.
Michicora notices the subtle shifts in the woman's stance and just manages to dodge the quick thrust. In the same movement she pulls out the dagger she have been reaching for and throws it against the woman's head.
Meanwhile she attempts to move sideways around the woman, just outside the swords range, looking for an opening.

The spear pierces its foot and it gives out a shrill, high-pitched shriek. It immediately beats its wings - creating a poweful gust of wind that might even knock the wolfen brothers off their feet - and takes to the air again. However, it doesn't rise immediately, giving the wolfen a moment to strike if they want to.

The woman raises her armored shoulder to intercept the dagger, protecting her face, and Michicora will notice that it leaves her guard down for just a moment when added onto the fact that she has to stop her lunge suddenly. While her front is still guarded, her back, especially that of her left leg, is exposed. If Michicora can get past her armor, it'd be the opportune moment to strike.
Hilly Plains
The brothers dig their claws into the hillside, barely able to keep a hold of it. When the wind stops, the two spring up before trying to leap onto the massive thing's foot. With any luck, the spear will have punctured deep enough for the barbs to get a grip, allowing the brothers to grab it and climb up.
Block of Ice
When What chips at It, It suddenly bursts apart in a glorious display of technicolor lights. A wave of force accompanies it, likely sending What back several feet. When What recovers, he'll find the famed Disco Elemental posing, gently smirking at the pumpkin headed What. "Lets get groovy."

Beach
The shockwave diverts the two leaping slivers enough that they pass around the yoshi, rather than flying away comically because physics doesn't usually work that way. Still, it neatly blocks their attack this time.
When the Chain-Chomp runs after the yoshi's call, the wooden sliver is on it immediately, trying to pin it to the ground with a claw shoved through the chain. Oddly enough it should be more than strong enough for this, possibly due to all those glowing mushrooms on its skin.
Physics TOTALLY works that way! It's just that the amount of force required to not only stop the sliver's jump but also reverse their direction is pretty darn significant.
Anywho!
The chomp gets pinned! It quickly doubles back on its chain and attempts to bite the sliver! Rawr! Keep in mind that any significant injury will dispel the effect of the Super Mushroom...
As for Yellow...
Time to make the apparent healer go away.
With a "bNOM!" Yellow lashes his tongue out at the the oily sliver, aiming to tightly wrap the creature in the muscular appendage before jerking it back toward his waiting mouth! Hopefully the creature will be dazed enough from the shockwave to have trouble dodging.

Yellow can be hopeful all he likes, but it looks like it pays off this time as he just barely manages to catch the end of the oily sliver's tail. However as it's drawn back towards his mouth, it hardly seems dazed at all. Whipping around and curling upwards, it lashes out with its scythe claw one last time, aiming directly for the yoshi's right eye with a gouging stab.
The waxy one stays back, having taken more of a beating from the shockwave and waving back and forth uncertainly as it clears its head.
Meanwhile the wooden one flicks its scythe upwards and to the side, trying to fling the Chain-Chomp by its chain into the briney depths of the ocean. If that doesn't work it will take a hit to the torso and deflate, letting go of Chompy as the mushrooms over its form double up and the waxy substance seals the wound behind it.
Better to have some wounds than stingers, so she pulls really hard. She can clean those later. Her reflexes let her land on her feet without harm.
She'll brandish her knife, swinging at the two aiming for her while she shoots a bolt of lightning as strong as she can manage to the fleeing ones. Can't let them escape.
[Forest 2.0]
Maybe she should care for mad cow disease as well, since the last thing they killed was a cow.
The blot only hit's on of the fleeing Xandits, because he other one escaped into the leafs of a tree.
The tow attacking Xandits aren't aware of the knife and the firs one got cut appeared. The other one blocks the knife with his string to survive and then tries again to attack.

Jaren shakes his head in disbelief.
"Sure are a lot more intimidating in real life than in the movies."
He grips his sword in both hands and hurls himself out of the tree down at the T-Rex, aiming a strike at the beast's head. As he falls through the air he thumbs a button on the hilt, and the razor-sharp blade of the sword crackles with electricity.
Jaren leaps spectacularly down at the T-Rex! With an electrified blade, no less. This is like something out of a B movie. An awesome B movie.
I'm not sure what Jaren is trying to do, though. Is he trying to land on the dinosaur and stab it, or just slashing at it as he falls past?

It opens its mouth in a wide, toothless 'O' shape ((which is also an amusingly accurate ASCI representation of what it looks like)).

He certainly does! Mercutio's gaze falls on Thenadier, and a frown creases his face. Not another hunter. Was it too much to ask for just another creature to study?
Oh well. Might as well make the best of the situation. Mercutio doesn't activate his tattoos just yet - he approaches the other hunter unarmed for now. With Thenadier's focus on the far-off dragon fight, he probably won't see the devil.
However, Thenadier might notice it getting a little darker as a cluster of clouds cross over the sun. Despite the fact that they're quite dark and heavy looking, they seem to be the only clouds in the sky. There's about four of them. And aww, they all look like fluffy little sheep. =3
And they're getting bigger, too. Much bigger. It's hard to tell if they're growing or falling - clouds are freaking huge, man. As they get larger, a light hail begins to start falling on and around Thenadier.

Her shoulder blade feels broken. Not a grand start, though she feels overall positive about the exchange.
A fine show, old chap. Pity it ended so poorly for you.
She pulls the knives free of the carcase and wipes them clean in the grass. She gathers her dropped gun and hangs it over her good shoulder with the riffle. No sense using a gun with a bad arm. Instead she keeps the machete in hand and makes her way across the plane, keeping low and doing her best not to broadcast her location to any wild beasts nearby. She is in search of water to clean the scent of blood and gore off of her before it attracts unwelcome attention.
As she turns away from the great beast, Rosy will for just a moment be blinded by a great flash of light. It fades away quickly, without leaving spots in her eyes. She'll notice an odd weight in her hand - should she inspect it, she'll discover she's holding a shiny new monocle!
Yellow gets slashed across the face, giving a rather painful sounding, "WAH!" as a result! He leaned back just in time to avoid getting his brain transfixed, but geeze was that ever close!
Next on the to do list? Swallow the oily sliver alive. Omnomnom!

And there goes the healer! Now all the yoshi has to deal with is the facial trauma, neck wounds, and oh right those two other slivers.
One of which might be significantly more trouble than the other. The fungus-covered wooden sliver is currently fairly massive at 13 feet long, and all those little mushroom growths are giving off radiation that pushes its muscles past their limits.
So it's going to use this newfound mass to slither back over to the yoshi and lash out at its nose with a much larger claw. bNOM this you crazy eating machine!
The waxy one shakes off its wooziness, but stays back for now, not wanting to get in the way.
The stag raps a fist against his new breastplate, clearly ecstatic. The stag's gonna be wearing this stuff quite often.
He watches Grantz new blade do it's work, quite impressed himself. "Sweet dagger. Yeah, let's eat and then see what else we can win." The stag walks toward the huge crab and lops off another chunk of meat, biting down with a squishing noise. "I'm gonna hunt here all the time!" He says, sawing off a few slabs of flesh for their lunch.
Adir begins preparing their meal in short order, lighting a fire with some wood from his pack and spitting the meat on a metal rod.
[Open area]
Grantz enjoys the meal his new found friend makes.
"Hey Amir, what do you think we'll find next? Can't be any bigger than Shen Gaoren over here."
Out of the yoshi's hind-end comes a big white eggs with yellow spots! No doubt what remains of the oily sliver's biomass after being savaged by the yoshi's absurd digestive abilities. And said yoshi is looking a little healthier too!
Must have healed himself up a lil'.
Aaaaand then Yellow spots the giant wooden sliver coming his way.
"Woah yosh!" the dinosaur swears before turning on his heels and darting off across the sand at a rather frenzied pitch. Nothing like bravely running away to get some distance between yourself and your foe! With a "Hop!" Yellow leaps into the before kicking off a nearby palm tree! "Hup!"
Given that the yoshi is already about 12 feet tall and given that he can already jump fully twice his own height AND given that he just used a tree as a springboard to jump AGAIN...
Suffice to say that when Yellow starts flailing his arms and legs to maintain altitude he should be able to clear the wooden sliver and then some!
Assuming the sliver can't leap forty feet straight up to swat Yellow out of the sky the yoshi will hit the sand in a roll before springing back to his feet and sprinting toward what remains of his spilled items.

"Oh, you'd be surprised," Adir says with a low chuckle. He's killed much bigger than the Shen Gaoren. He munches on the crab meat, seasoned with some of his own spices, and seems quite pleased. "I'm sure you'll find someone you can sell this to. Good stuff."

From afar both may note the earth braking like something is digging it's way trough the ground, which is in fact the case. Tovpir normally doesn't hunt humans. He sensed something big there and thought it's worth a fight. hopefully he can reach the place unnoticed.

"Yeah, I'll have a couple of my summoned pals cut my half of the crab meat and drag it to Mallside. From what I heard Crab meat from big guys like this don't spoil easy."
Grantz is busy talking with his companion and does not notice whatever was approaching. none of his demons are out so no one can alert Grantz of what was approaching.
Tovpir, should he manage to kill (or at least take a bite from) Adir, will find his meat to be much more desirable than that of a human.
Adir hears the rumbling, and gives a glance up small slope that leads into the canyon walls. However, Tovpir's meandering could just as easily be a residual rockslide from Adir's work with the C4, so he returns his attention to Grantz.
"I'm sure somebody'll take it. I know I would. I'd bring this home, if my wife weren't vegetarian," He looks at the meat and ponders. "Actually, I might take it home anyway."

Tovpir will go reach the ground under them. There he needs to wait first. He can't fins out their position if they don't move. Still can't see through the ground.

Grantz stands up and moves to the Shen Gaoren's corpse. A number of his demons pop up and takes parts of the Shen Gaoren's meat with the carapace that is Grantz half. The Demons leave quickly, heading home.
"Well there goes my half, how do you plan on bringing home yours?"
"Probly bring my truck up here, get the brain in the bed somehow," Adir says. That's gonna be a gross job. But hey, there's money in it.
Tovpir shouldn't notice much from Adir, besides the movements of the arm and mouth that it takes to eat cooked crab.

Tovpir will move under Grantz then. Waiting a moment before he strikes.
The Grantz should notice something odd, because the earth breakes and a blue Gemstone spike, attached to some odd looking violet stone pops out of the ground under him aiming for his torso.

Grantz curiosity slowed him down, he looked at it curiously before deciding to back off. Grantz casts "Agilao", a medium fire spell to blast him off backward before the spike hit him. Needless to say, even with Grantz affinity to fire, that hurt. He manages to land on his feet a few paces away.

IF it had mad cow disease .
Yay almost killed them all!
Shame about the one getting away.
She'll try to send a bolt to the attacking Xandit, hoping it is powerful enough. The short distance should help.
Gordon focuses, and switchs into his dragon form. Standing about twenty feet tall from his claws to the top of his head, Gordon's scales are a deep azure blue, with a faint red glow between them. He lowers his head to look closer at the creature.
"Satisfied?"
"Sss..."
The creature looks...angry? For just a moment, Gordon may be able to make out a flash of anger in his eyes, as if the sight of a dragon disgusts him.
...and then it's gone.
"I ssupposse sso. No sign of fear, nor does he seem particularly impressed. The creature stares back, unintimidate by Gordon's gargantuan size.

The latawiec's skin, while not deep, is really tough and hard to pierce. The spear holds on, but the grip isn't firm. Climbing it carries a risk of it falling off unless one is slow and careful. But the Wolfen will probably manage to do so.
Meanwhile, the flying beast gains altitude and hisses when it feels the pair of humanoids trying to climb its leg.

Wenomir ducks and rolls to the side, evading the blast. He gets up immediately once he's outside the range of the blast and, once his feet are on the ground again, he tries to get to the fish in two quick bounds and make a sweeping upwards slash at its belly.

After a moment, Gordon changes back into his human form.
"So, now that we know a secret about the other, what will you do next?"
Will the creature let his dislike of dragons get the better of him? Gordon wants to find that out before he goes to wander some more in this wild land.
Out of the yoshi's hind-end comes a big white eggs with yellow spots! No doubt what remains of the oily sliver's biomass after being savaged by the yoshi's absurd digestive abilities. And said yoshi is looking a little healthier too!

Looks like he's going to have some competition. Even though the yoshi successfully vaults over the wooden sliver, which swiftly changes direction in response and begins racing after his heels, the waxy sliver notices his destination and hurries after the inventory items as well. It should be closer, and if it makes it there first it will gobble up the first thing it sees, which happens to be the little berry. It probably couldn't fit the watermelon whole into its mouth anyway.
The wooden one is close on the yoshi's heels, but unable to make a swing at him and keep up for now.
Deep in the caves to the northwest, a certain psychic-slash-scientist explores, black dagger in his right hand. His left is raised, and constantly flares with a reddish aura, resulting in a glow that he uses to help light the way here.
He hardly believed what he'd heard of this place, of course. People being resurrected randomly, gaining gifts based on what they'd killed? Even for the Nexus, that was new to him, and it struck him with an idea.
If such creatures could have weapons and armor made from them in that sense, better than mundane ones, it's possible that such weapons could be made from the monsters themselves. Such would require obtaining materials from them, of course.
And so he came here.
Ah, what I do for science.
[Northwestern Caverns]
DC will hear a quiet dripping behind him that wasn't there just a moment ago. In a damp cave such as this it normally wouldn't be much to note, but given how many large creatures are around, it could be very bad.

"WOAH!" the yoshi yells as he hurls his egg at the waxy sliver, aiming to blast the critter off course or at least slow it down in hopes of getting to the healing berry first. Should the egg strike true he should be able to reach the prize, snatching it up a distance with his absurdly long tongue.
Otherwise the sliver will nom it and get healed up rather nicely!
MEANWHILE!
"ARF ARF!" the Chomp suddenly leaps out of the water and tries to fasten its jaws onto the wooden sliver's flank!
