Ax-rodriq sniffed the air cautiously. There was no trace of his quarry in the air, but the jungle itself was a more wily opponent than any warm blood. Drawing his sword, he moved towards the sound, taking great care to not make any of his own. Slowly he proceeded through the thick undergrowth until he came upon a clearing. His eyes quickly readjusted to the change in light and rested upon a sight that few had ever seen, and still fewer had lived to speak of it: a Carnosaur nest. A deep bellow in the distance told him that the mother was not near. Ax-rodriq's reptilian ears heard the same sound again, and it was revealed to be a large Monitir lizard, half again as large as Ax-rodriq himself. Its intent was clear; the egg of a Carnosaur would be food enough to last the venomous creature the rest of the day, and nature had granted the lizard with insurance against the wrath of the mother - two pairs of long, poisonous spines mounted on the great reptile's muscular tail. Of course, Ax-rodriq knew these would be little deterrent to the Carnosaur cow's rage, for even if they could penetrate the tough hide of the livid mother, her rage would be such that death by poison would be the least of her concern. Fortunately, the Monitir was so focused on his prize, that it had not noticed it was being followed. Swift and silent as a shadow, Ax-rodriq stole up behind the great reptile. He thrust his sword into the tail of the great lizard, pinning its only weapon uselessly to the ground. With a hiss of surprise and rage, the Monitir spun its head around, baring its long fangs. Anticipating this, Ax-rodriq seized the beasts jaws in his arms and did a twisting somersault, snapping the Monitir's neck. Hearing another bellow from the mother, closer this time, he took one of the great eggs and disappeared into the jungle with it.
