Guardian (MrMopp & Fangs9090)

Dynia followed her through the rain, not seeming to mind the weather. "Right, I will keep these things in mind and attempt to watch for the potential threats."


(Oh, just a heads up, at some point Dynia will be able to talk normally. That way she won't sound so robotic.)
 
Trina nodded, "Aright, thanks."


No sooner had she said that when a net sprung up underneath her and yanked her high into the air with a surprised yelp.


(Was Dina caught with her?)

Dynia looked up as Trina was pulled off her feet. "...I believe we have found a potential threat. Do you need assistance?"

Trina swung back and forth like a pendulum, stuck in them in an awkward position, with her foot caught somewhere at the top of the net and a panicked, struggling baby mule pressing the face into the dirty rope. "Gee, ya think?." She indignantly retorted."

Fangs9090 said:
Do you need assistance?"
"Oh, no, I'm good. Thanks for asking." She lackadaisically responded, her voice dripping with irony. "I loooove dangling around like a crane fly in a cobweb, y'know. Relaxing pastime. Could do it all day. You go ahead, I'll catch up later after the kobolds find me and skin me alive and do something obscene to my corpse."
 
"I would like to fulfill your request but I do not know the way. Also, I believe you should find better pastimes as your current ones may endanger your health." Clearly, she did not understand irony.
 
(Well, she doesn't get either of them.)


"Despite your request, I will attempt to release you." She started walking around trying to figure out how to release the trap.
 
Trina rolled her eyes. Of course. "I was being sarcastic, Dynia. Yeah, I need help. But let's try and find some thing to cushion my fall before you cut the-"


Trina stopped dead. She distinctly saw a pair of small, yellow, lizard-like eyes, glinting out in of the bushes. They watched her for a moment before quickly scurrying off into the brush, excitedly yelling something in a shill, yet harsh voice.


Ohhhhh, frick. "Um, ok, nix the cushions." She said with clear apprehension. "We gotta to get out of here now. We're about to have company."


(Oddly, the rope holding the net is not anchored to ground but is tied directly to the branch holding in the air.)

Dynia looked up, spotting where the rope was anchored. She unsheathed her arm blade and took a few experimental swings at the trunk of the tree. She paused before looking up to Trina. "My arm blade is not suited to felling large trees."


(Clever robot.)
 
(Hah, reference. She has a magic-powered CPU and a fragmented memory unit. Does that count?)
 
"What? No! The rope, Dini, cut the ROPE."


Trina furrowed her brow. "Wait.." she looked around the tree trunk, "where the hell's the rope?"
 
Dynia pointed up to the branch the rope was tied to. "Up there. I was designed for ground-based agility. I do not know if I can climb a tree."
 
(I think there's an app for that)

Trina looked up. Holy cow. This was a spring snare. A simple rabbit trap, except this one could have caught an elephant. Those kobolds were clearly compensating of something. (How did the little twerps even bend the branch?)

Trina gave Dynia a look of sheer disbelief. "Are you @$*%^ kidding me! You're a CAT! How can you not-" She paused as off in the distance the hills, she could faintly hear shrill hoots and cheers of an approaching band of kobolds, all eager to have a piece of her while she was at their mercy. She huffed "Great. Here they come. Aright, look, you can fight, right? Try and hold them off." She started loosening and unbuttoning her clothes (as best she could with a mule sitting on her). "I'm gonna try something."

Dynia nodded. "I will buy you as much time as I can." She positioned herself between the tree and the direction of the sounds. She took a battle stance, her arm blade ready. "Initiating combat mode."
 
(Just occurred to me.)


Something dawned on Trina. "Wait, do you have any loose knives on you?


The gleem of reflective eyes were visible peeking through the woods.
 
Dynia let out a shrill beep. "Detecting missing combat features. Update required. Updating..." She froze to the spot, looking more like fancy statue.


(Ah, updates. Always so convenient. And alright.)
 
(She's loading. Knowing how programs work, she'll likely finish at the last possible second.)
 
(Well, I gotta end here for the night, then. See what the kobolds do when I'm thinking straight)


( I don't think they're going to kill her. Yet. The matriarch wants to do that personally)
 
Trina was confused. "Uhhhhh, was that a no?"


No answer.


"Hello? Dinny?"


Still no answer. Dylini just stood their, motionless.


Oh great, she broke her.


Here came the kobolds from the bushes. It is hard to see them in the dimming light except by their reflective eyes that twinkled around her like glitter, but she could make out about ten of the diminutive reptilianoids, all armed with spears, javelins, atal-atals* and stolen kitchen knives.


They gathered under her like kids to a piñata, sneering up at her with their jagged teeth and. yammering excitedly in their ugly little language, except to mock her with something like "No scary, now, eh woof-woof?" or " You DEAD puppy!", or " Heh-eh! Look like FIIIIIG! Big fat fig!"


Trina and growled and rolled her eyes oh so heavily. She could think of nothing more humiliating than getting trapped and laughed at by kobolds. Well, OK, getting killed by kobolds probably topped that. Not the sort of thing you want written on your epitaph.


(*an atal-atal is an aztec spear launcher. I'll show you what one looks like later.)


(More coming)
