Some time during the night, three young adult lizards are exploring the ruins of the city to be able to salvage some parts they could use back at their camp. They belong to a group of rebels who are against the Isthars, a tribe of dark-skinned lizards who invaded the lands and remained in power for several years. As the group went into hiding within the ruins, they had to lay low and explore during the night to avoid detection from the Ishtar tribe and being destroyed by them. However, during this night, the young rebels have spotted a single Ishtar warrior patrolling the ruins, but they were sneaky enough to avoid being detected by him. This is a potential threat for the rebels, so it would be wise to return to the camp and warn them. “That’s not good”, said one of the young lizards. “We need to go to the camp and warn them!” “Don’t be such a wimp!”, said another. “We’re strong enough to deal with the situation” “That’s right”, agreed the third one. “He’s alone and we’re three. Perhaps he might have something that could help our tribe as well!” It was decided. They better get rid of the threat right now to avoid further complication and perhaps get some nice loot from that warrior. They spent a moment and planned to hide within one of the buildings and lure the warrior inside to ambush him. “Wait outside and keep watch…”, said one of the lizards to the weakest of the three “Just in case he wasn’t alone, after all” “Oh… Ok” replied the lizard, nervously. He then hid into a good spot and keep watching the surrounding. The other two lizards went into a building and began throwing rocks to create some noise to lure the warrior inside. As they hear him approaching, they hid inside the basement as they threw more rocks. As they hear the warrior reaching stairs of the basement, they prepared themselves to ambush. However, the footsteps stopped within the stairs and there was only silence. The two lizards looked at each other, wondering what he was doing. Shortly after, they hear something falling on the floor and hear some hissing noise. It didn’t take long to see smoke heading their way. “Wh-What’s this?!?” Said one of the lizards. The instant he said this, they both started to become dizzy, then drop on the floor, unconscious. They realized too late that the warrior knew their plan all along and threw sleeping gas to incapacitate them. After the gas dissipate, the warrior approaches the lizards and carried them to a mattress that was on the floor of the basement so he can be more comfortable while inspecting them. He starts with the tallest of the two and stripped him naked. His scales were green from head to toes and his body looked muscular, but pretty soft as he felt the body with his hands. “Hum… you look pretty strong! You could have become a fine warrior, but it’s unfortunate you aren’t as smart.” As he felt he was finished inspecting the body, he then grabbed the lizard’s head and then twisted it quick so he can hear a satisfying crack, which followed with his body convulsing for a second, then stopped. He then put it aside on the mattress so he can start stripping the second lizard naked. This one is a bit different as his scales are red and orange. He was less muscular than his friend, though. In fact, he felt a bit heavier than him. “You don’t seem like a warrior at all… You should have taken care of yourself a bit better, but at least you look nice enough." Not as interesting as the other, but he was satisfied with what he was looking at. Another crack could be heard as it was his turn for his head to be twisted. “However, I know you guys were three… I must say you were at least smart to leave someone to keep watch… Let’s see if he’s as good as you both.” Later, the last of the three is starting to lose patience “It’s been an hour… What the hell they are doing?!?” He did saw the warrior entering the building, but he never saw him getting out of it so far. Perhaps he exited on the back. Regardless, he didn’t want to stay much longer as the night is almost over, so he decided to sneak into the building. He explored the building for a bit and was unable to find anyone. He then climbed down to the basement as it was the last place he hasn’t checked. He did find one of their weapons as he reached the floor so perhaps, they are still hiding. He searched the basement until he saw a wooden plank under the stairs that seemed to be placed recently as he saw another of their gears. He then moved it and was shocked to find the naked bodies of the other two lizards. “Wh-What?!? No!” He stepped back a few steps, but then felt someone was behind him. He then realised the warrior never exited the building and was waiting for him. Before he could do anything, the warrior grabbed him and put a ragged cloth filled with chloroform on his nose, which knocked him cold very quickly. “About time!” said the warrior. As the third lizard stopped moving, the warrior then moved his body to the mattress like he did with the other and started stripping him naked. His scales were as green as the first one and he looked like the youngest of the three. He had a slimmer build of a body. “I see… you must be the younger brother of the one over there… You don’t look strong, but you had potential. Such a shame to waste it!” As he was done with the inspection, the last lizard had the same fate as the other as another crack was heard. He then dropped his body next to the others “Not bad… But I hope the others are more challenging!” He then left the basement with a bag filled with their belongings, satisfied as he thinks he have found clues for locating the rebel’s camp.
