Thread: lessons of tooth and claw ( ashaylen Aefolin )

Connor stumbles out of the lodge rubbing his bed head and bearing that "I'm only awake 'cause you fookers'r makin' too much noise" look. He walks out onto the porch as his hand fishes around the empty cans, looking for his last beer...or simply one that isn't empty. Confusion reigns as he tries to do the math of who went bed first, leaving their beer behind...finally, he finds one, and lifts and shakes it. Looking at the boys,who aren't paying attention to him, he shrugs and takes it. Pulling out a mangled,but not yet broken cigarette, he lights it and summons forth the customary coughing and. Phlegm. Licking his lips with a disgusted look, he follows it up with a swill of the overnight beer. He smiles at the boys and crash lands into Zoles side and joins the audience.

"Morning Connor, feeling a little on the down wind sideare ya?" Aelofin says with a grin his eyes never leaving the training in front of him.

Zole smiles at his packmate as he plops right into him. "Aye, how's tha day finding ya?" Zole goes back to watching the two in the circle before he gets an answer.

Connor rights himself and takes a drag of the cigarette and winks, not interupting the show.

Ashalyn seems totally focused on Ayven at the moment,

So tell me, whatdya know about fightin' in our forms already? We 'ave distinct advantages if'n yeh know how teh use 'em?

well if your going to fight try to disable arms or legs first to keep them from attacking or running a body hit can kill us if its bad enough but its rare where a arm ripped off or leg bitten off isnt going to be usefull unless fixed and thats hard to do in a fight. eyes are also a good target id assume." he picks one of his feet up to make and obvious point at the claws on the warforms toes before setting it down. " if our arms are pinned we also have our feet to attack with so pin em down and tear"

Ashalyn nods as Ayven speaks with him telepathically.

Dese are all good things teh remember...which limbs teh use and 'ow teh prioritize 'em is good. We also 'ave a couple advantages in deh way o' healin'. Our bodies continue teh regenerate damage as we fight. Now non-lethal sorts o' damage heal witout much t'ought...every few seconds er so deh bruising goes away an' it's fine again - even while fightin'. Knife wounds, gun shots, t'ings meant teh kill - does 'ave a harder time healin' while we're fightin'. Dey do heal, but sometimes if'n yeh find yer body is 'avin' trouble wit' a particular wound, it's not a bad idea teh pull back from a fight if'n yeh can. Bide yer time while yer body heals itself a bit. I know dat it ain't as ballsy as a non-stop berserkfest...but comin' from a Tribe o'survivors like yeh do - yeh can understand deh discretion in valor.

"all of Rats Teeth know the benefit of alittle breath from the fight. is there anything we have trouble with ? i know silver of course, fire isnt all that great either.. "

" Balefire hurts like a bitch even if it gets close it still burns." Aelofin says in his mind to the others.

Aelofin touches a small patch of white hair on his head. It is small enough that it easily can be missed.

" Also I have heard some Mages magiks" there is a definate difference in how he says magik he imphasises the word. " can burn without end. They don't stop ever plus they can even warp reality. Avoid Mages if you can and just so you know if someone laughs when you go to Crinos avoid the fight if possible. They are not normal."

Aelofin chuckles.
