Larvae hunter: The Preying Mantis
Mission:  MEET THE COUNCIL
By Raw Hide

Original Roleplay

Raw Hide's only piece is fairly short, and unadorned.
The formatting is also a little odd.

Ahwell.
No biggie.
Aside from that, it's a good piece. Raw Hide continues to be the 'unlikable' one of the clan, beating out Shamus easily for that title, in my opinion. He's consistently shown up in most AIL missions since he debut in AIL's very first mission, which he won. He's at his jerkass best in this piece, too, a theme we keep running when we get to the Finale in a few short chapters.



I am one lazy piece of sweetness. I think I’ll let those other guys worry about the undead. All that rotting flesh and stuff would take weeks to get out of my armor. Besides, you have to hack and hack and hack at those things just to slow them down. Nah I think I’ll simply follow my way around the woods till I come across a larvae. Besides, that terrarium will be awesome because then I can have a familiar to teach how to hurt people or buff me up.

So on to my story. Well it started fair enough. Blahking came in and announced our options. I took the path of least resistance. He told us to look out for the Knob Goblin Elites. Those bitter bastards are still out to get us after I sent them packing with their tails tucked between their legs. He said something about penguins but I don’t expect to see any anywhere even remotely close to the woods. Seriously, they’re penguins. They like snow not leaves. Whatever.

So, I made my way to the woods. A walk in the park. All I need to do is go find some river or lake or something. That is where mosquitoes hang out. So I am pretty sure I could find a larvae there. Well I walked maybe a good half mile into the woods and I’ll be darned at what I saw. I saw a crater in the middle of the woods.
I hop on down to find a dead sauceror. So being the type who hates to let things go to waste, I looted his sorry behind. I can use those spices. Then I watched some poor accordion thief try to serenade a bar. What a doofus? He got mauled crazy bad.
Well anyway. I actually did see the mafia. Those penguins were setting up traps along the river. They were hanging meat on their traps hoping some dumb adventurer would come rushing up for the easy meat. Well I watched a bit longer scanning the shore line after they left. I figured a mosquito had to have a larva nearby. Well I sat their waiting. Some idiot came up to me and started talking to me. He said something about clan unity and working together to find a larva. I told him to go away or else. Well, he went away. He ran out into the clearing the mafia had been in. He saw the meat and went for it. I had to watch.

The dummy picked up the meat and nothing happened. I was so pissed. Then I heard something. It was faint but I heard it. Something was happening. I kept watching from my vantage point under a nearby tree. At first the floor gave way. He sank in and squealed like a little girl. He only maybe dropped a foot or two. Those Penguins can’t really hold shovels with those flipper fin things. So he thought he was clear. Apparently not. A rope slipped around his ankle after he fell down. The rope was attached to a tree which flung that sucker so far I think he landed near their base in the mountains. They heard him coming too. Either because I was laughing so hard at the display of stupidity or because he was crying so loud because he’s from a clan of pussies.

Well I was rolling around on the ground laughing when I spotted one. A mosquito. I was tempted to catch it instead but then I remembered that they can’t just produce larva. So I followed it. I got bit by the thing and every member of its family. So needless to say, I’m pissed at this point. I probably stomped on a whole bunch of those things just from staggering around the stream from being eaten alive.
I finally found them. There was a small pool of water off away from the stream a bit. There was a good handful of larvae in there. I took one and left the rest to suffer through life never knowing their sibling. So now that I’ve found my prey, I’m lost in the middle of the wood with stupid adventurers getting killed or setting off traps and the penguin mafia prowling around. All I need now is to get home without squishing my booty. This ought to be fun.


Not really up for team player of the month, is he?
Still to come; more Feena and Catrina, Dash is joined by Vixen, and Shamus's second!
Then it's on to the Finale!

Kingdom of Loathing (KOL) is a (mostly) original online game that apparently has something to do with Asymmetric Publications, LLC, and something called a Jick, who probably copyrighted and trademarked the thing up the wahoozer. Wahoozer is a word I just made up. If you don't like it, bite me. And if you refuse to bite me go to . . . ANYWAY, this is the archive for an interactive writing game based on KOL, and a specific clan within- the Kingdom of KOL. Specific characters belong to their specific owners, specifically, unless specifically stated otherwise. This game was developed by Joshua A.

In other words, I don't own KOL, or KOKOL, and KOL doesn't own KOL. Get it? Good!
