Owner Pose
Angela Angela looks up into the dark jungle as some unseen bird makes a cry and a noise as it flies through the air. She is walking in a determind way along a dirt path to some destination nearby now, their travel almost complete. She is dressed for the hot jungle but has her overly big sword and her ribbons peak out as she stops walking. "We art near to the end," she says quietly. She raises her hand and motions to KitKat, "The fort ist up ahead. Ah yes you hast called it a castle..." she comments.

She glances at KitKat as she stands on the path, "I didst tell thee about the dinosaur who guards this artifact didn't I?" she asks, "Yes, tis red and mean according to mine info but ... should not be a problem ..." she explains and trails off.
Kitkat "Castle, fortress, citadel, shiro... Isn't that all the same? a fortification! And yes you said that this one..." A wide, toothy grin ran over the Calico's face as she shifted her own shouldered overly big sword, offering a little bow to Angela. "This one is, so you said, full of a monsters. Their master would surely make a perfect decor for thy fireplace! A Skull as big as a full grown person you said!"

The tail of the Cat leashes a moment as some nasty insects pass along, makign the feline eyes narrow as she tried to focus where the thing was going to with the ears. A moment later she shrugged and lowered the sword to have its tip rest on the ground. "Red and mean and surely soon a big steak over our fire!
Angela Angela nods to what KitKat says, and starts walking again to the end of the jungle path, "Tis no matter, I merely want the artifact he hast been hording," she mutters, "Keeping parties at bay no doubt with the large---" she starts to explain then stops saying, "Wait! Look!" she lets out, pointing up the hill at the large, red dinosaur, who can be seen peeking down the hill in front of the fort.

She draws her sword as she looks up from the edge of the jungle, "The moment we dart from the protection of the jungle and climb the hill, it wilt spot us," she indicates and then smirks, "I think we should makest quick work of this monster. Are you prepared?" she wonders.
Kitkat Following along, the blade once more shouldered as the Zweihander didn't have a scabbard, Kitkat peers through the opening in the trees a tht beast. "Doesn't seem too bad. I mean, look at its teeeny weeny arms! It surely looks almost like a beast of burdon and not like a menacing monster!" she almost teased, then repositioned the blade in her hands. Gone the loose grip as it was almost loosely swinging on the shoulder but two hands took it hard.

"I am by your side, and together we shall slay the beast. Side by side, Back to back. Your sword is mine, my sword is yours. Are we all gethered, so don't wait too long, to Valhall we depart, deliver to Wotan the choice." Bracing her arms with the sword, her legs ready to catapult her forward, into battle... and yes, she just quoted The ride of the Valkyries.
Angela Angela holds out her arm and stops KitKat for a moment, "Strange beast," she begins and narrows her eyes as she looks past the shadows, up the hill, at the very large monster. "It tis taunting us standing out like that. It hast no fear but neither do we!" she lets out. She raises her big sword and motions KitKat on, "Run!" she encourages her.

Angela runs out from the edge of the jungle and starts up the hill. The dinosaur at once sees Angela and Kitkat as they step out from the jungle, which is why the fort is positioned there, so as to see everyone and anything coming. The red dinosaur roars loudly. It turns toward Angela and KitKat but doesn't start down the hill after them, no it lies in wait, smartly thinking the two warriors have no change below its massive jaws. It leans down and snaps its jaws as if indicating its intentions. As if instinctual, Angela lifts off the ground and flies high into the air slowing for KitKat to take position and strike with her!
Kitkat "What would it fear? It knows not we are here!" Kitkat answers, storming forward at Angela's side, the medieval blade held high. The Diosaur's roar is anwered by a fierce howls back, a harsh roaring sound, almost like a tiger's snarl, just a little less loud for she was smaller.

The beast snapping at them doesn't slow Kitkat as she speeds through the underbrush, blade shining in the sunlight. It's almost as if the feline warrior awaits the next snapping motion as she darts in, the sword swinging over to try and cut at the scaly, leathery skin of the upper jaw. There's force in the swing, and the heavy blade brings impulse...
Angela Angela careens down at an arc toward the dinosaur like a missile, to strike at it at the same time as KitKat. KitKat chops and takes a piece out of the dinosaur, the sword slicing it at like lunchmeat, sending the piece flying with a growl and a roar from her victim. The dinosaur lurches forward and opens its jaw and surges toward KitKat! Uh oh!

As it moves, Angela slices into the neck like a razor, a single slice from Xiphos chopping down through the skin into the reaches of the muscle and the tendons and the veins and the blood within! Yuck! It spurts up over Angela and KitKat! Gross! The sword finds its mark and CLANGS with impact, as the dinosaur's spine is made of metal! Oh no! What a surprise! Angela frowns with confusion and brings the sword up again but the dinosaur lurches around toward KitKat so she loses her balance.
Kitkat Facing the beast headon, and Angela cutting and hacking into it Kitkat swings at it again and again, pulling steel grey arcs until the beat's tail swings her legs out under her. Falling to the ground, there's barely time to react and the Dinosaur is loming over the feline, jaws parted and coming down. Stinking drool drips down as the feline changes the grip on the blade a little barely managing to get the tip angled right as the monster snaps the jaws closed where she lay...

...stopping some inches from fully closing with a howling sound, Kitkat trapped behind the plaque covered teeth. What prevented her from getting swallowed was the blade propped up against the palate at the top and the feet pressing into the floor, the pressure of the beast aiding in pushing the sword into a painful spot. "I got it!"
Angela Only a few seconds pass as Angela regains her balance and is able to sever the head of the dinosaur, sending it down dangerously toward KitKat. The body falls away but the teeth and mouth still are poised right above KitKat as if still threatening her, "What? KitKat! Are you alright?" Angela yells, perhaps thinking her devoured or chomped on.

"No! I was too slow!" Angela lets out in frustration, and she drops to the ground to find KitKat's body. She leans down and sees KitKat in between the teeth and smiles happily, "Ah! A perfect spot!" she lets out and offers her hand to help her, "Come! The beast is dead!"
Kitkat She had it. Like, She was literally trying to push the sword up into the brains of the dinosor, riiiiight when the head was chopped off and it dropped to the ground. The impact rammed the sword right through into the lifeless brain cavity, drawing a surprised sound from Kitkat inside. Only after some struggle she presses open the cramped jaws, then needs a little to work the blade free again. Wiping drool off her face, she scoffs as she follows along. "Yuck, this beast should have learned how to brush its teeth or keep a pet human to do that instead of eating all of them!" she complains, the body covered in grime and blood from the encounter. "You ain't looking much fresher either. Is that spine in your hair?"
Angela Angela helps KitKat up and looks down at herself after listening to the comments, "Uh, tis flesh and bone for sure," she says slowly, "I think...we wilt have to wash," she laughs. She slaps KitKat on the shoulder, "A good trick with that sword!" she says and thumbs toward the fortress, "Well done! Look! No one has come out of the fort, they must have ran off.
Kitkat "Or they were snacked by the beast." Kitkat muses as she follows to the feet, almost shoulder-to-shoulder with Angela. "Let's get this done, find your artifact and something neat! This skul lis far too fresh and rotten at the same time to decorate any fireplace for months!"
Angela Angela motions to the dinosaur, "Well, you could take a tooth instead!" she comments, then trudges up toward the fort, "Yes, tis a bit disappointing in person. Their defense ist dinosaur driven!" she explains and kicks at the door until it falls in. She narrows her eyes into the small fort.
Kitkat Joining up, Kitkat looks through the ruins of the fortification, trying to figure out where that only nebulously described artifact might be. "What again are we looking for? Some kind of weapon?"
Angela Angela motions KitKat further inside as she walks into the fort, which is kinda small given the hype and the discussion about it. It is only a large thatched room with a fire set in the middle. There are chests and bags strewn about left behind by those who have abandoned it. There is jewelry and precious metals collected on a table to the side, perhaps collected by the warriors or blackmailed off others. Angela pays these no mind and walks to the side of the room, "The Lost Amulet of Viddar...an Asgardian banished from the realm ... like me," she tells her. She looks down at the two large chests near the thatched wall, as if paused in reflection about the story.
