Overworld: Amnesia Stream
[2]
Propman stops upon hearing growling. A wild dog comes charging at the pirate, prompting him to pull out his gun and attempt to fire. [5] Unfortunately, the earlier fall must have jammed it for the moment, as it would not go off despite the trigger clicking, and he was quite sure it wasn't on safety. As the beast got closer, he could see its features with terrifying clarity. It was similar to a wolf in general appearance, but was far, far larger; The size of a mastiff, and it was but an arm's length away from chomping down on him.
Propman decided to put his new ability to the test, concentrating and making a palm-thrusting motion as the air started to thicken and a cloud of mist was drawn. [7] This did little to phase the creature, who used its other senses in order to lock onto the pirate, and struck out against him, fangs barred. [14] Propman dodged the creature and instinctively grabbed for his letter opener [9+2-1] which he sunk into the dog's side, drawing blood, but not enough to make it even flinch.
[7+3] The dog retaliated, managing to bite into his shirt, though the gauntlet in tandem with the shirt's loose design meant it didn't puncture any skin.
[17+2-1] Propman drove the dagger deep into the beast's head, causing it to yelp in pain as the mortal wound made it to let go, spasming on the ground as its body shook out of control. The pirate took his gun and attempted to pistol whip the creature to put it out of its misery, [5-1], but he missed. [12-1] A second attempt made contact, but served only to bruise its side. [16-1] A third attempt was more successful, and the dog finally stopped moving.
Propman pulled his now bloodied letter opener out of the beast's skull, and cleaned it off in the stream. The white sleeve of his arm was now stained with dog's blood, causing him to frown. [20] His frown turned into a curious expression as he noticed something shining near the corpse of the creature.
No less then five potions were underneath the beast's side. Did the beast just drop these? Regardless of circumstances, Propman knew he needed all the resources he could get his hands on, and he gingerly put the vials into his bag to store with the rest.
