Sneak attack

As Richard snuck up on its left side Jason took the long way around and cam up on it right but hid behind a large willow tree close to the opossum. Jason was by far the quietest he only weight 150lb soaking wet and had soft paw tactics as good as a cat hunting.

When jason was in place richard charged the opossum, the plan was to distract the opossum long enough for jason to sneak up and attack from behind or if the opossum fled he would strike as it passed him.

Whenever Jason , Richard and there dad went hunting before the plunge of society, jason had become quite adept with hiding his presence and with bow and arrow hunting. Small prey was more of his type of prey anyways.

Large prey such as moose was Richards prey of choice he was a great shot with a rifle and decent with a pistol. And terrible with bow and arrow but surprisingly good with slingshot.

Richard charged with a iron rebarb in hand waving and ready to whack it if it charged him back. So far they had not seen an apocalypse animal that fled they always seemed very aggressive and all ate meat. The opossum was no different.

It shot at Richard at amazing speed he could only see an after image. Richard face dropped and fear set in. He wanted to fall back but had a roll to play in this attack and couldn't risk Jason's safety because he got scared.

Richard swung the iron rebarb in his right hand and missed and the opossum bit his left forearm hard and took a piece out of him the about two inches long .

After ripping away he swung again and missed again. Mr stien readying his shot prepared to shot before more damage was done. But just as the opossum was about to launch forward again jason came down hard on its back with both hands gripping hard on the rebarb paralyzing it. "da*n dude that hurt stab it in the eye try not to break its skin." jason nodded and pulled out a small knife about to inches long.

After killing it he ran over to Richard and took of his shirt he ripped it in half and wrapped it hard around richards wound. " we need to find some kind of bracers or armor so you can tank the hits for me."

Richard wanted to slap him but decided he was right he had little to no stealth skills so it seemed the most likely use of his talents "yeah maybe some of the football gear could help but that was a mean bit i doubt it could take two of those bite before breaking, but what worries me is that was a low level were screwed if we fight something stronger.

Jason not wanting to think about fighting something more. He helped richard up and grabbed the opossum by the tail and put it in richard backpack. "Dude no its going to bleed all in my backpack." Jason chuckled "Don't worry ill wash it promise."
