Caravan Co. of the West (CLOSED)

Jackpot was fortunate enough to be off the bridge when the radgator made its appearance, having been walking near the front of the party. He whirled, going for his axes when he heard the splintering wood. Seeing the behemoth they were up against, he shifted and drew his pistols instead. There was no way in hell he was going toe-to-toe with that thing! He backed away from the water, looking around for a vantage point where he could look down on the water and hopefully spot the beast. A tall pile of rubble or crashed skycart would suffice, but the taller the better.

[drawing 9mm and 10mm pistols, searching for a tall vantage point.]

"AHHHHH, shit! Help!!" Mix yells as he's knocked over the edge. Mix's heartbeat began to race. He felt a large rush of energy and it felt like time was slowed. He began to extend his hoof to Amnesia and the other to the guard rail of the highway.

[attemting to grab onto Amnesia or the highway guard railing (Agil 6)]

Octane simply watched as the Rad Gator came up and grabbed one of the Brahm. Shaking his head he looked to see what everyone else was doing, once he was sure they were all clear of the radius he pulled out one of his explosives. Giving it a kiss lit the fuse and waited while it burned down, at the last possible second he tossed it over the water waiting for it to explode. If it worked like he wanted it would scare the gator out and into the fire of the rest of the group.

Jackpot saw no vantage points within a hundred yards other than a dead tree nearby which really didn't look like it could support his weight.

Mix managed to catch one hoof in Amnesia's hooves and one around the railing. He was pulled up quickly, and just in time too, as the massive gator returned from the murky stream and lunged at the dangling pony, snapping a bit of his tail hairs off and nothing more. He fell and splashed down into the water, disappearing yet again. Waiting. Planning.

After a few short moments when everypony on the bridge might have started to catch their breath, he suddenly emerged once more, and took out another chunk of the bridge under Amnesia and Mix. However, if they were quick, they might be able to jump out of the way in time. [AGL 5] If not, they would tumble down into the water below.

"Everyone get off the bridge!" Feather hollered to the group, flying over and holding her sniper and send off a screaming shot. It hit the gator in the side of the head, just above the eye on the hard skull. The round didn't penetrate, and did little more than piss it off. He let out a mighty roar before Octane's stick of dynamite flew in and blew next to its head. Now it had a head ache, and a few missing teeth on the left side of his head. He was VERY mad now; but once more retreated into the water to hide while he devised a plan-- or to possibly chase after ponies who fell in.

Taking a few potshots with his pistols when the monstrous gator reappeared, Jackpot saw that his weapons were practically useless, having even less of an effect than Feather's rifle. He rapidly backed away from the water. "Everypony get the buck off the bridge! NOW!"

Tiberius was already out of the way by the time the bridge was first attacked, causing him to stare in both confusion and annoyance at the giant gator as it attacked the bridge. "Damn the stars. Why did you not scout out the bridge before we arrived like before?" With an annoyed tone, Tiberius directed the question at Feather Dancer.

(Staying back and waiting.)

Midnight Sky would hold out his shotgun, putting in some ammo as he pumped he and prepared for its return. If it came to it he would quickly look over the radigator to look for any wounds or openings that were not done by the group

[looking for any noticable weak points on the radigator]

Amnesia hauled Mix up and got away from the edge. "Holy SHIT that was close!!"
She felt a few rumbles and immediately yanked Mixtape back, the gator coming back up for them again. "C'mon, c'mon! Off the bridge!"

[AGI 7, evaded attack]

Mix feels the sudden grasp of his hoof on Amn's and is pulled back up. Mix is missed being chomped up by mere inches, he feels a slight pinch as some tail hairs are yanked out "Oh my goddess, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Mix hugs Amnesia in gratitude and runs of of the bridge pistol drawn. As he makes his way off the bridge he aims his pistol back at the bridge waiting for the big ugly gator to show itself.

Swift took the offered hoof as she swam to the side of the river and climbed up onto the edges and began the task of climbing up the wall as fast as she could.
