Heated Hunting. (( Literally. xD ))

[Cirrus]

The heat had to be the most intolerable part of the volcanoe and yet here he was, at the moment he had decided to take a quick break and attempt to wipe some of the sweat out od his eyes as he looked down the way he had come. The ever trusty mace lay beside him, he had been useing it as a sort of walking stick the whole way up.

The nearest stream of magma was several meters away and he only knew it was there beneath the crust because of the heat waves that came off it. Krorr grunted as he shifted slightly one hand running thoughtfully through the greying beard. He was hunting, without much luck so far though he intende to cath a few creatures take them back to his place and sell them to any who might take them. So far he hadn't seen so much as a bug which was either very strange or rather forbodeing. His mind was on niehter of these things though, he would find one sooner or later, the volcanoe had always had a large variety of life, plant and creature wise. Standing up restlessly he continued on his way, practically bakeing inside his dwarven armor, which he was far to stubborn to remove, the mace kept its temorary purpose of being a walking stick as he progress ed further upward, beady dark eyes flickering over the landscape constantly.

One of the many lumps in the ground moved slightly, and a strange red plant on top twitched. That's a strange plant... Investigate?

[Cirrus]

Krorr glanced at the leafy red..thing. For he was not entirely certain it was a plant, although he knew that the very wide variety of foilage encompassed 'alive' plants, he had also noticed the fact it was growing on a lump in the ground, this might just be a coincidence but he wasn't entirely sure. Eyes narrowed distrustfully he lifted his mace and...poked gently at the exposed red leaves.

[Cricket]

It twitched, and two eyes opened from the brown thing, giving Krorr a very distasteful look, and standing up. The creature resembled a miniature volano, about a foot tall, with four long skinny insect-like legs. The red plants were actually wings, which twitched as the creature stared at him. A large drop of molten lava dropped out from a hole on top of the cone, that was the creature, and hit the ground beneath him, turning into ash very quickly.

[Cirrus]

He had honestly never seen this type of thing before.. minature alive volacones, what next? Krorr blinked at it and smiled, attempting to distract it with a forced slowness he moved his mace forward and poked it again. He didn't feel like finding out if the thing could spew lava , after pokeing it so slowly he could only wonder what it thought of him. With a swiftness unbelivable of his lineage he reached one hand over his back, pulled out thefirst net his had grabbed, a wieghted one, and deftly threw it over the creature.

[Cricket]

The creature, not being the brightest of all things, forgot he had the ability to spew lava everywhere, and instead ran around under the net yelling out in a very strange and jumbled speech, and trying to find it's way out of the net.

[Cirrus]

Krorr watched it for a moment, he took it to be a rather dimwitted thing at any rate. Whistleing softly he pulled a long stick with a hook on its end and slid it under the net, he would use it to grab each corner where the wieghts were and pull them together, he still didn't trust his fingers near the firey volcanoe insect. h wondered faintly how much someone would pay for a brainless, minature fire hazard...he comehow doughted the ability to sell it for a very high price. Shrugging to himself he slid the stick a little further towards the opposite side of the net.

[Cricket]

The creature, often called a Sykray, saw the stick and started chomping down hard on it, still continuing to speak too fast to comprehend. It sounds like english, but it's hard to tell based on the speed of the words. He clamped down on the stick, and followed it to the next corner, where he continued assaulting it.

[Cirrus]

Korr grumbled to himself and shook the stick a bit trying to dislodge the insect as he hokked one loop of the net and mved the the next, and the next, and the next. Giveing the stick a good shake between each loop he gathered, he was almost done now. He gave th insect thing a look. if it spoke english perhaps it could fetch something in the market... he sighed and shook the stick again as he picked up another loop of net.

[Cricket]

The insect suddenly remembered the fire, and started running around spewing lava. You'd better hurry and save your net before he escapes.

[Cirrus]

krorr growled at this sudden development and pulled the net into the air quickly, hopeing to momentairly stop the bug as it was airborn. he didn''t fancy weaveing a completely new net later. Grumbling to himself he grabbed one of the smaller metal cages that hung from the bottom of his pacck and dumped the bug into it dropping the net and hook he shook the cage violently. "Shut up.' he said when he stopped shakeing it, glareing at the bug. "talk slower or ill shake it again." he threatened.

[Cricket]

The creature stared at him through narrowed eyes. Then it just remained quiet, as it was unable to slow down it's speech. It just glared at him, randomly dripping lava onto the metal.

[Cirrus]

Krorr glared right back and inserting the pole ito the cage, positioned it carefully over the bugs head, bringing it down swiftly in an attempt to knock the thing out so he wouldn't have to worry about it for awhile, and could continue looking for other creatures. he was never happy with just catching one. He bent down to see if he had hit the thing hard enough.

[Cricket]

A large amount of lava spewed from the creature's head, burning the stick to a crisp as it smacked him upside the head. Making a very strange noise, he dropped down, legs collapsing under him, and passed out. Smoke came out of the hole on his head, slowing down a bit before completely stopping.

[Cirrus]

Krorr sighed and pulled out the remains of his stick, he would have to find a better way of knocking the thing out. Sighing he turned around, perhaps he would find something else on the way back down the mountain? Picking up his net and half of the metal rod he started back dowward, keeping his eyes open for any other creatures he might find, the cage once again swinging from the bottom of his pack.

[Cricket]

A small crack in the ground infront of him sizzled as the lava underneithe flowed. A strange flashing noise was made, then a small quake. Suddenly, infront of him a large ball of flame exploded and the crack crumbled away. The ball expanded into a bird. The pheonix stared at Krorr, then at the hole in the ground he had made. The bird of fire flew over Krorr, in his way to land on the ground far behind him.

[Cirrus]

Krorr blinked...now that would fetch far more than any volcanoe bug.. and it was a beautiful animal. He turned and watched it head uphill again, frowning he got out his mace and began to hke upwards once more, muttering curses under his breath about how hot he was getting marching all over the place for random creatures, and that he'd probbly suffer brain damage from this heat. He approached the bird of flame slowly, knowing that if it flew away he had very little chance of catching it.

[Cricket]

The pheonix was rubbing her (gender change. xD) beak against her talons. She glanced up at him, staring for a short while before going back to her business in grooming herself.

[Cirrus]

Krorr whistled quietly in appreciation, eyes sparkleing quietly. "Hello there." He crooned softly moveing another few slow steps forward. "Your a pretty lass entcha?" He asked quietly puzzleing about the best way to get her. He didn't have a metal cage big enough for her with him and he didn't want to half to use his wire net, that tended to hurt creatures, she might even burn through it. So..what did he do...

[Cricket]

She flashed him another uninterested look, and continued grooming, now beaking through her underwing feathers. Her amber eyes flickered up to him every once in a while. It was true, she was flattered, but she got compliments quite often, and she already knew she was beautiful.
