Instinct takes over and you rush down the sand dune shouting to tell him that help is coming, drawing your sword as you run. He looks up at your cry and is almost bitten by a sand snake, barely dodging back in time before returning his concentration to fending off their lunging attacks.
Upon reaching the valley floor you rush forward and slash at the nearest snake which is still engrossed in its original prey, slashing a deep wound in its sinous body. With a hiss it recoils and lashes at you with its tail, an attack which you dodge only by throwing yourself to the side. The snake takes quick advantage rearing back to bury its poisoned fangs into you, but before it can the desert raider cuts its head off with a sweep of his curved sword.
While you kept the first snake busy he's managed to kill the other one, and now stands panting over you, bloody sword in his hand, staring at you with deep brown eyes. "You... You helped me..." |
