[@Lucius Cypher][@Zeroth]- Hunting with Orchid
[hr]

Ash would have grimaced as most of the volleys had missed - only one of her smaller globs of venom hitting. As soon as one did hit though...well, the plan had worked well. Almost too well. The rat immediately began to heave, drool pouring from its mouth as it's body looked noticeably more sickly in an instant. The smaller globs didn't burn as much as it seemed...but perhaps their smaller nature had a stronger concentration of venom? Since it wasn't spread out everywhere over the surface, that could certainly be it. The same way area pressure worked.

She'd need to do more testing.

Either way, Orchid quickly closed the distance, tossing a rock right into the rats head causing a splatter of blood to coat the rocks behind it. The rat twitched and convulsed pathetically, the pain and venom ravaging its body mercilessly until Orchid skewered its belly with her makeshift spear. With one last screech, the rat was dead and at least, her meal secured for the evening.

[color=598527]"Hmm..."[/color] Ash quickly scurried over, taking a claw to its hide and cutting into the meat of the rat, studying it intently for a few seconds and tasting it. [color=598527]"Well...it seems I've made a slight err in judgement."[/color] She scoffed at her own short shortsightedness. Of course there was a chance it'd get poisoned and ruin the meat, meaning Orchid likely wouldn't be able too. With night seeming to be falling, they needed to hurry.

[color=598527]"It seems I accidentally poisoned this meat. Ugh, getting used to this hideous form and abilities is going to be annoying."[/color] She briefly glanced over to Orchid. [color=598527]"Eating it would likely be bad for your health..."[/color] She turned her head back to the Rat, taking a large bite of the meat and wolfing it down. [color=598527]"If you need I can help you hunt another unless you want this...but I wouldn't recommend it."[/color] She was a lizard after all, and she didn't likely need to eat as much as Orchid.

...Hmm, poisoned meat might make for a good trap.
