as the forest comes alive [ curt v trevenant ] day 2

Trunx the Trevanant was resting. Many other trees of its kind were nestled in the spooky forest, guarding the territory and thus allowing Trunx to settle into a peaceful slumber. A sleeping Travanent stood absolutely still, blending in with the trees that were actually just plants with no real heartbeat. It wasn't until Trunx detected a mysterious series of sounds that it opened its massive eye.

An intruder.

Instincts alerted Trunx to its new objective; abandon sleep and kill the trespasser. Trunx was the guardian of this neck of the woods, and no human would be allowed to pass.

As Trunx tore itself from its roots, it barreled toward the human and lunged with one of its massive branches. The intruder was fighting back with something sharp, yet it did very little to harm the wood around Trunx's face. Trunx thought nothing of this scratch and continued its attack.

The prey was faster than expected. Trunx's branch buried itself into the soil, leaving no flesh or blood trail behind. As a large tree, Trunx could only move so fast, but it turned to meet the intruder with enough force to create a small gust of wind. The trees around them remained silent - this would only be Trunx's mission. It was the guardian of this sector. Help would be accepted, but it seemed there was nothing else around.

The human attempted to cut its wood again with an axe. Trunx reacted angrily, thrusting its other branch out to push the weapon away. No damage done. Trunx then swung with its remaining trunk again, aiming to draw as much blood as possible.

Deep Gash on Chest -- 9.5 damage

A successful strike. Trunx slashed the human intruder across his torso, drawing some of his life force. Unfortunately, he continued to squirm. He was not dead or fleeing yet, so Trunx continued to stomp closer and closer to prepare for the next attack.

The human, however, was still attempting to take Trunx down. This time his axe chopped off a piece of its bark, allowing some of its vital sap to be exposed. Trunx reacted angrily again, shaking the leaves atop of its head - a guardian was not to be defeated.

The time to finish this was now.
