[Mr. Hurricane]

Rip the centipede from your arm and chuck it at the dire cat. Or swing it around and use it liberally.

[blockguy™]

Grab Pladadius's gun, shoot the tiger, and then throw that goddamn centipede off your shoulder or wherever

Or just don't heed Coaxoch's noise warnings

[CypherX]

Or just don't heed Coaxoch's noise warnings

or just let them both die

Or just don't heed Coaxoch's noise warnings

The screaming and roaring may already be drawing all sorts of gribbly unpleasantness to their location. Key word being may. It's up to Roger whether to use the gun to kill the cat and risk the wrath of nature, or leave it to Coaxoch to handle and risk her wrath later for being useless (or worse, her being unable to kill it and then all three of them die). Or he could always take a third option.

Roger throws himself towards the gun with his arm underneath him body slamming the centipede. He scrambles up gun and insect goo in hand and shoots several shots at the cat hoping he doesn't hit the rookie

[Gojira]

congrats you just got the three of you killed
i think

[Mr. Hurricane]

What choice to you choose when they're all the wrong choices?

[Qwepir]

Roger throws himself towards the gun with his arm underneath him body slamming the centipede. He scrambles up gun and insect goo in hand and shoots several shots at the cat hoping he doesn't hit the rookie

Body slamming the centipede wracks your already-battered body with pain and nearly knocks the wind out of you. You find it hard to stay balanced as you get to your feet and squeeze a few shots off at the cat. Fortunately (or not, depending on your outlook), you miss Coaxoch and the rookie, hitting the big cat in its side once or twice and causing it to drop Paladius. The Imperial pistol's 9mm cartridge lacks the stopping power to kill the animal outright, but as it reels back in pain, Coaxoch manages to jam her knife into its trachea and out the back of its neck.
: Damn it, that was loud. Adrian, can you walk?
: I don't- I th-think something's broken-
: Not surprising. Roger! Get the medkit, dress his wound. Fast. I am going to pack up the essentials and then we are leaving this place before any scavengers show up. We can continue our riveting conversation later.

[Lockebox]

Roger grumbles to himself and grabs the medkit. He leans down to inspect the wounds

"Tell me where it hurts." Roger says half grinning

[Qwepir]

His left leg is bleeding pretty badly from the rather deep gash torn into it. You can even see where the bone has been fractured.

[Lockebox]

"Hold your leg still it looks like you have a bone fracture. I'm not seeing any swelling so it's unlikely that that thing reached an artery."

Roger looks around and grabs two long sturdy sticks and a rock. He elevates the rookies legs using the rock to stem blood flow. He pulls out some gauze and disinfectant and applies it lightly. He wraps the gauze tightly to apply pressure to the wound.

"I need another arm. We need to use these sticks to create a cheap brace. This will keep pressure off the leg otherwise you're going to get bone slivers walking around with a fracture. The bad news is you'll have a funny walk...and we'll be slower. Unless we carry you on something. Your girlfriend is in bit of a rush so i can't fully treat you until we find another safe spot."

Roger looks at Coax.

"Carrying him is an option, although we might be able to create a drag mat instead so we can both pull the supplies AND your friend here."

[Qwepir]

"Your girlfriend is in bit of a rush so i can't fully treat you until we find another safe spot."

: I heard that. He is 17, you weirdo!

"Carrying him is an option, although we might be able to create a drag mat instead so we can both pull the supplies AND your friend here."

: I will pack two bags then. You carry one, I carry him and the other. A mat would just get torn up or snagged on things.

[Lockebox]

"Right. You do that. I'll take the time to add additional dressing to his wound then. Hopefully your boyfriend isn't done in by huit cat rabies."
