The Terentetrametrek (Terentatek hunt in Iambic Tentrameter)

[Velok the Younger]

OOC/ Only jump in if you're going to write in iambic tentrameter - four 'feet', eight 'syllables'. daDAH daDAH daDAH daDAH. Though I suppose any poetry will do, and it doesn't have to rhyme.
IC/
A doughty band Rave Merrill found
A crew of mixed desires and fears
To hunt the old terentatek
Ill-woken now from slumb'ring years

The monster preyed on settlements
And found the settlers to its taste
They called on Akure Leatherworks
To lay the lumb'ring villain waste

 

[Chupa La'Roi]

Chupa La'Roi, Arkanian
A creature borne, terentatek
For sooth his friends doth seek it too
But behind house, he must use loo.

Grunting loud, the finish arrives
Standing up, he seeks the hunters
Yelling loud, he cups his chasm
"FRIENDS, THE TERENTATEK WILL DIE!"

"Wipe up, and get your rear in gear!"
Was Rave Merrill's reply to him
As weapons loud and boisterous
The girl gave out to one and all.

"Terentateks are fearsome foes,
But dumber than a Jedi Lord.
They shrug off every Force power.
We must do this with gun and sword."

"Swords and guns? I prefer the same
weapons that I use in combat
when I fight the Sith and Jedi
on the field of eternal war!"

Lifting his blade into the sky
he yelled out loud, his scream of war
to scare the fearless beast they hunt.
Not likely, but still best to try....

The grand terentatek sniffed air
And pawed the barren, shattered ground
It heard the roar of the La'Roi
A dissonant, unwholesome sound,
But one that appetized the beast.
It roared in matching resonance
And then stampeded for the team.
Rave raised her sword of keenest steel.
"Behold, the fierce terentatek!"
She said, forever earning fame
As Captain Obvious, She Who
Defends What Is Already Known.

The warrior, he turned and saw
the beast, his target of the day,
and blinked, his eyes with fear inside,
"Oh, THAT'S A TERENTATEK!....Frak."

His blade cut shallow marks across
his face, his ichor dripping from
his cheeks. His rage induced, the Force
emblazoning his strength, his might.

Leaping at the beast's gaping maw
his blade slashed twice, both hands on hilt,
his eyes on fire, his mind insane,
no guilt or pity in all his strikes.

"That is a bull terentatek-"
She cut her elocution short
And leapt to join the Space Viking
In trimming Sithspawn down to size.

Her blade went snicker-snack, like most,
Of vorpal or of other kinds,
And carved the beast a new butthole
Upon its knarled and twisted spine.

 

[Triko]

A monstrous crashing filled the air
From the sky, a jawa fell, at high speed
Fire surrounding him in bloody red
As the ground drew disconcertingly close.

Crash! He landed, thumping into the ground
Crimson blood welling around him
One bloodied hand, he raised defiantly
"Utini!" The figure rose defiantly.

The finest lay she'd ever had
A noble warrior in the sack
A sack of Jawa burlap, true
And itchy -- even now, she scratched.

At impact's light, the great Sithspawn
Whirled on the Jawa, and unleashed
A mighty paw, its talons wide
Rave took the chance to slice its hide.

 

[Triko]

As the fearsome beast span upon him
He drew a blaster, cold durasteel
Fell to the ground in a cloud of dust
Firing shots in all directions.

Some hit their mark, without a doubt
And as this Sithspawn recoiled
The Jawa slid past the beast with a leap
Landing atop the beast in a blur.

The foul terentatek pulled back
And unleashed hell on petite Rave
A fist of quite unholy strength
It flattened her unto the ground

She crawled upright and called her sword
As @[member="Triko"]'s blasterfire slammed home
The Jawa set her blood aflame
And stirred her heart's cold ash

She leaped to stab the monster through
Her durasteel blade bit deep
But snapped, for it was nothing grand
Merely the tool of this moment

 

[Chupa La'Roi]

The terentatek swept aside
The Jawa and his former mate
(Rumors fly fast in the Fringe base
Of the night of Jawa passion)

Blade came down so swiftly on it
Cuts and scrapes so endless made, for
on its back this fight carried on
all in iambic pentameter.

 

[Triko]

Tired of this pointless effort
The Jawa employed new tactics
Now, an RPG, a brilliantly deadly weapon
He drew it, aimed and fired it.

Bang! Orange flames blinded him
The rocket pushed him flying far back
And then he was up above them all
Legs kicking as he soared through the air.

Astonished, the terentatek
Devoured the rocket-driv'n grenade.
As shrapnel and displaced teeth
Assailed her armor, Rave withdrew
The sundered blade, then scored a cut
Along the beastie's noble flank.

 

[Masamune Tametomo]

A silent warrior stood alone
In nought but robes of Bushi cut.
Sheathed blade he held upon his side
Of ancient make and warrior's style.

Masamune Tametomo
He was called and was upon the
Field so fair to aid in slaying
Such great, foul beast the group now fought.

A flash of silver, blade now drawn
He held before him and prepared
To lend his aid to warriors brave
And lay the mighty beast to waste.

She flitted past the man's glint-sword,
A wistie-slave flying higher
Onto fight the beasties below.
Her skin glowed hot as burning fire.

Dip, dive, swoop, bomb, and slash she dove
Into the eye and into the
Roof of the Terentatek's mouth
All the while her form a-glowing.

 

[Masamune Tametomo]

A form flit past and struck with glee.
He watched the beast retaliate
And struck while massive back was turned.
Steel bit deep and ichor spray-ed
As silver spun and struck again.

Blood sprayed and spilt as warriors fought
As beast's hide split and rent from blows.
Silver, now red, dripped gore to earth
But still the warriors fought onwards.

Rave staggered back, threw down her sword.
The broken blade would do no good.
A pixie and Masamune
Engaged the old terentatek,
And Rave leaped to their aid, withdrew
Two knives alchemical, and plunged
The blades into the scabrous flesh
Upon the wizened critter's arm.

 

[Masamune Tametomo]

Masamune saw brave Merrill
Attack the monster blades in hand.
"Remember the coals," he cried out
"Alight but one and all shall glow."

Meld heart and soul into a blade.
Vision, Duty, Honor, Balance,
Let guide your hand, strike bold and true,
And vulgar beast shall fall at last."

@Masamune Tametomo @Rave Merrill @Triko @Chupa La'Roi
Fully covered in beastie spit
The little sprite escaped the jaws
Of a raging terentatek
As the one named Rave took her turn.

Moist wings fluttered higher and up
To blind the beastie’s bulbous eyes.
It screeched and gnashed its giant teeth
As she fought with the sword man’s crew.
