Gren managed to dodge out of the way of the Tatzelwurm's venemous phlegm, and jumped up onto one of the lower branches to try and wrestle the monster free from the trunk! The Tatzelwurm tried to find a higher perch---but the branches past that point proved too thin to support its weight! Gren's big hand reached out to try and grab it behind the head.

But in doing so, the Runt might've overlooked one thing: This was not just a monstrous [i]snake[/i].

The Taztelwurm's [b]catlike[/b] claws began raking Gren's hand and arm even though it couldn't quite turn its head to sink its fangs into his flesh. The beasty's talons were far sharper than they appeared---painful red rips opened all along the back of Gren's palm and along the sides of his forearm, wherever the monster could find purchase! What's more, as he jumped out of the tree, the Tatzelwurm's coiled tail lashed out to slap him, hard, in the face---it was like getting hit with a leather riding crop, and drew another bloody line across his cheek!

But with the Runt's much greater weight and the force of gravity behind his slam, the Tatzelwurm's snarling face distorted as they slammed into the earth---and a second blow, accompanied by a strange red, crackling glow that surged up Gren's outstretched arm as he raised the monster's body high, triggered the Runt's [Breakthrough]!

The Tatzelwurm's body let out a sickening, meaty crunch as it hit the ground a second time, digging into the earth like a plough head. Its body twisted and writhed, its claws dragging across Gren's arm one last time as its movements slowed...

Worth. 

Say don't suppose Vola knows how to make a fire? Otherwise don't think this cat-snake is worth bringing back, but we can eat it!
