Drakonrai stretched her limbs before resting again on a cliff on the side of a volcano. For others, the heat would give them big problems, but for her it was just right. She contentedly rolled onto her back and purred. Ah..., she thought, this cliff is comfortable, and no one would dare to come here in these extreme conditions, so I'm safe and comfy. She closed her eyes and fell into a light doze, still purring. [/size]

Krorr was once more trodding through the hot temperatures in full armor and sweating profusely. He was looking for more of those Sykray's for the Pheonix, she seemed to never get enough of them. He stopped however when he spotterd something, green, scaly, and catlike streched out on a ledge beneath him. it didn't apprear to belong to anybody..he watched it for a little while, running his fingers over the wire net, that had just been checked and repaired by himself the other day.

Drakonarai yawned, waking up. She streched before getting up and cleaning herself, then she jumped off the cliff and opened her blue-and-green wings so she could strech them, as well. She arched upward in the air and flew just above Krorr, not noticing hime because of the intense heat waves slightly blurring her vision.

Krorr, quick dwarf that he was, took his chance while she was above him and thre the wire net over her. Hopefully the tough wires wouln't bite into her skin to much. he also hoped that she didn't fall back down the cliffside. That could be troublesome, he waited quietly the net would pull tight once it caught her, mainly because he had the two closeing cords in bhis hands.

((You won't get Drakonrai that easily. *evil glint in eyes* Muhuha! >:K))
Drakonrai gave a large mew of surprise as she felt the metal envelope her. She fell down from the sky, and landed half on the ground, her hind legs and tail dangling over the cliff. She angrily spewed out a few sparks in anger at Krorr, and growled, "Let... me... go...!", as she tried climbing back onto the ground, but she slipped, and the heavy bundle fell over the cliff.

"Oooh, bugger." Krorr muttered as he, still holding on was pulled bodily after her, he was VERY thankfull he always wore his armor though he knew e would have bruises after this as he fell down the volcanoe, following his catch and hitting rocks and other objects on the way down. With any luck the thing would still be alive when this ride stopped. Krorr grunted as he barely avoided plungeing into a magma stream and instead hit a rock, smashing it before continueing dowwards...

Drakonrai was ready for this sort of thing, and rolled into a ball so only her scales, strong as diamonds, were outside. As they neared the end of the fall, she unrolled herself. And when they finally stopped, Drakonrai lay on the ground with her head against a boulder, eyes closed. She tried to make it look like she was knocked unconcious by bangind her head against the rock, and hoped that Krorr was too busy protecting himself to watch what she was doing.

Krorr had been to busy makeing sure he didn't seriously hurt himself to notice the dragon cat's ploy. he landed a few moments after her with an 'oof' and got up slowly dusting himself off, he looked at the thing, knocked itself out hyuh? Well that saved him the job of doing but still. He would rather not have taken the short cut down the mountainside, drawing the wire net tighter so the creature wouldn't have room to move he started to drag it towards hie stall, it would still be a bit of a walk though especially now that he was rather battered and sore.

Drakonrai slowly opened one eye, glad that the dwarf hadn't seen her trickery at work. Quietly as she could, she opened her mouth and breathed a tiny ember onto a small section of the net, hoping to melt it a little so it would be soft enough to cut with her claw later. She did this when Krorr wasn't looking, and got ready to stop when he checked on her.

The metal was pilled tighter around Drakonrai as Krorr trippe d on a rock, with muffled curseing he got up and, thinking the net had come a little lose then piulled it even tighter before continueing. The wire net heated up a bit, but very slowly and it was still to strong to be snapped by claws, perhaps with a little more heat it would be soft enough..if Drakonrai still had the ability to move her li mbs after the massive tightening of the metal wire net.

Drakonrai felt her mouth snap shut from the sudden tightening, she tensed, afraid that Krorr found out, but then relaxed when he only tripped. She started blowing the ember from her nostrils instead, which was something she had not done in a while, since breathing fire through the mouth was more comfortable. But hey, who would even think of comfort in an emergency like this? She did this for a few more minutes, and the metal became soft enough, but since she couldn't move, she decided to resort to a gigantic super-heated flame, which melted the net instantly. Drakonrai quickly jumped up in the air, and rested on a bare, blackened tree that amazingly grew near the volcano. She angrily roared at Krorr just in case he didn't notice the sudden lightness in weight... or the heat... or the sound...

krorr had noticed the flickering quality of the light and turned to find that his best net, would take some serious rebuilding. "Why you." He said glareing up at the dragon, he pulled a rock from his pocket and chucked it at her. 'Come down here you chicken, ill teach you to bust my net." he said heatedly.

Drakonrai just laughed and answered, "If you hadn't tried to capture me in the first place, you wouldn't be all bruised, and your net wouldn't have been destroyed." She ducked and felt the rock whiz past her head, and she stuck out her tounge in reply to that, then she blew out a long roll of flames that stopped right in front of Krorr's face, and said, "And why don't you come up here?"

"i wouldn't stoop so low as to...come to you. Anyway that tree is liable to fall over, espicially with your wieght added to it." He retaliated though he took a few steps closer, all he needed was to get the remains of the net, or perhaps a different net around her for a few second so he could knock her out with the ever trusted mace. Perhaps he could even get the still hot netting badly tangled in her wings, that would keep her ground bound. Quickly he jumped forward grabbed the molten remains of the net and threw them expertly over the dragon things head, onto her wings he winced when he glanced down at his hand it had burnt him badly in athe second he had had i on, he wondered if it might do the same to the dragon thing.

Drakonrai wasn't burned, for she was a creature of fire, but she got tangled in it and fell off the tree. She angrily heated up her whole body to melt the remains of the net into a metallic puddle, and jumped up, hissing and arching her back. She unseathed her claws and bared her teeth at him, so angry at him that she didn't even rush back up the tree to safety. "I'll teach you to mess with me!" She hissed as she leaped at him.

krorr hid his smile in his beard, this is exactly what he had wanted, well not quiet but he could deal with it, first blow from the mace should hit her mid chest, winding her, second over the head to knock her out. he stepped to one side so he'd have better aim at her chest and swung the mace over his head, on a colision corse with the oncomeing dragon cat. His armor wouls suffice to protect him from flames of claws, as it always had.

Drakonrai noticed the mace, but it was too late for her to change course, she was going to fast to open her wings, and she also noticed the armor. She knew that there was nothing she could do now, so she just opened her mouth wide and let out blazing fire ball after fire ball, all aimed at either Krorr's head and beard, or his mace.

Kror ducked and felt the fire sweeping over his helmet, the mace was unharmed as it continued at a faster pace towards Drakonrai's chest. Ducking had sped it up more than Krorr intended and it might do some actual dmage rather than just winding the creature, no time to change plans though any second not the mace would strike scales.

Drakonrai thought quick in the last seconds, and rolled into a ball once more, just like an armadillo. She whizzed into the mace, which badly hit her on her hind leg and her back, and she flew into the tree like a baseball. She uncurled, hind leg broken, and back really sore. She weakly lay down, panting heavily.

Krorr didn't pay attention to the Dragon creature at first, he was too busy jumping around and whacking at his beard, the very tip of which had caught fire. Once he had put it out he sighed, more or less in relief and turned around stiffly to look at the dragon cat. "Well..." he said eyeing her wounded leg. "i hope your at least going to let me help you with that.. without setting me alight?" He said leaning on his mace. "IO will knock you over the head if i must."
