Dimitri winces, grabbing at his head, and looks at the gargantuan bird. "My fucking ears..." He starts using bursts of his full speed, making significant headway against Michael, who was originally ahead of him. He gets up next to Ace and growls. "Far too big to be a roc. And big enough to eat us. Going with just about every other creature in this hell hole, bullets won't do shit to it... I am not liking our odds. I have a policy about not fighting something that could eat you in one mouthful. I'm practically immortal, but I'm not invincible damn it!" Dimitri said all this as he grabbed Ace by the shirt collar and turned, running like hell, not caring if he smacked the human on the rocks scattered about the place as he dragged him rather forcefully along. He passed Michael and looked at him. "Run if you don't want to be bird food!" He called, for once showing an emotion that was rare for him: fear.

Michael stopped as the vampire rushed past him taking care of Ace before he could get there. Which was good as the waaay to large bird raised its wings and flapped them with massive force. In addition to the gale blowing with immense force several of its feathers, as large as spears, detached and hurled themselves at the fleeing humans. Michael ran away teleporting erratically dodging as the feathers as they randomly smashed into the ground causing fractures to spread through the ground. Luckily the bird only seemed to have the intent of driving them off and unless one of the small group managed to get impaled they should be in the clear. The slope lead down to a swampy area, boggy with vines and bushes everywhere.

Michael quickly lost sight of the pair in his mad scrabble for safety. Whatever, he didn't need them, what he needed was to kill more things and acquire more power. As he wandered through the forest he found a convient rock to sit on and gather his thoughts. As he was thinking he suddenly noticed the ground was a lot further away than it used to be, upon looking at his rock it seemed to hvae grown arms and legs. QUickly he jumped down and faced the enourmas rock golem, it lashed out at him with his arms, but Michael was wasting no time with this creature, he ducked under the swings and leaped to the golem's face and chopped its head off with the force of his blow. As it fell to the ground he quickly touched it and suddenly a smooth surface spread over his skin, Michael tapped it with has sword satisfied with the chink of metal on stone.
