It was days later, again, when Reoz was starting to get hungry once more. Ashe thought it went faster this time, less bird meat to digest than there had been with the other, but it amounted to about the same number of days. Now he was back again, and he vaguely wondered what the pit staff were starting to think of him. They all had the 'save a living being at all costs' kind of vibe to them, so for them to see a man coming here to personally feed his monster of a creature.... Ashe shrugged it off; he didnt really care, it was simple musing as the time passed.
Ashe led his beast, who actually seemed to be growing more by the day - he should be, with all those calories he was inhaling! - to the Pit and opened the great doors into the sand pit itself. He ushered Reoz inside, then shut the doors, and headed for the stands, where he would observe the feeding process. The prey always fought back.
Reoz himself stormed into the pit with a Roar of excitement. He knew this place now, and knew it meant food. He couldn't wait to gorge on a new meal!

The trod left the house as instructed and brought along the next participant. The vulticus was the same fluff factor as the Cave vulticus that Ashe enjoyed, but of smaller stature, so the trod was actually more familiar with this sort of creature. The trod slipped the leash over its head and led it to the Fighting Pit arena, where they would meet up with Ashe.
Once there, the Trod did the usual; drop the participant off and head for the stands to watch. Watch, though? Was it really needed? As a being that was mostly machine, and part Ashe's Brian waves, it doubted this was necessary. Yet here it was, for the third time.
The thylo Vulticus trotted into the sand pit, glancing around. Spitting the corpse across the sand, its hackles immediately went up and it snarled low in its throat, telling that monster to stay away! Don't come any closer, not if it wanted to keep its limbs intact!

Notes
- Reoz can use all moves and abilities he knows
- Thylo can use all moves and abilities he knows
- Thylo goes first due to higher Dexterity

The corpse lifted its head suddenly, and that was how Ashe knew someone else had arrived, even before those doors opened. Please be the next one, Ashe murmured to himself. Please don't be some passerby, or someone looking for the hen tournament going on. He doubted Reoz would know or care about the difference.
Thankfully, he recognized the trod, whose appearance was brief, and he recognized that thylo vulticus. Poor thing, he had always admired the cave breed, and this one was a smaller Fluffy breed similar to that one. But challenges had to be conducted....
Reoz rounded on the vulticus, barely giving it time to register where it was and the amount of danger it was in. It even tried to warn off the Corpse by growling and snarling - but Reoz didn't care. He started toward it, slow and methodical. He was waiting patiently for Ashe to give the word. And then he did.
"Crunch!" Ashe called out, and Reoz shot into action.

The vulticus was in over its head and it was starting to realize that. It had no packages, no friends to back it up, it was alone with this monster for some reason! What were the humanoids doing? What were they thinking? His growl turned into snarls, turned into Savage barks. He lunged forward, fainting attacks, and dodged back, trying to set up boundaries, a perimeter. But that thing kept advancing. And the smell! Oh, the smell. It smelled of death and dead things and despair. The thylo whined, uneasy, his tail dipping low as he looked for a way out of this mess he'd gotten himself into.
Seeing no escape to be had, he decided there was nothing left but to stand his ground. He planted all four feet firmly in the sand, his hackles raising to make him look quite Fluffy. And quite a bit bigger. Then he flashed his teeth, and launched an attack of his own. Strike before he could be struck down!

Calculations
Thylo uses Crunch! Reoz's Danger Sense activates, Thylo misses it's attack!
Reoz uses Crunch! Reoz's Dexterity of 2 + 5 rolled by staff = 7 vs. the 4 Dexterity of Thylo Reoz will deal the most damage possible! Reoz's Strength of 3 + 6 damage of Crunch = 9 damage 9 - 3 Resistance of Thylo = 6 Thylo's Stamina is now -1
Reoz may now use Devour!

The thylo attempted to get Reoz, but his training, plus the most recent battles, had only honed his senses. He dodged the attack effortlessly and whipped his head around. His teeth grabbed for the Vulticus's throat out of instinct, missed, but he got the ribs and shoulder. He crunched down, shook his head, and tossed the body a few feet away. Then he crawled over to it on all fours, head stooping down to look it over. To sniff at it. Food, glorious food. He was hungry, always so hungry. But he had to wait. Why did he have to wait again? He couldn't recall.
Then he heard it. The sweet command given to him by the fleshing. He was allowed to feast, finally. He reached out with a scaly arm and pulled the body toward him, then lifting it. His jaws opened wide and his tongue slid out, reeling the vulticus in. His throat opened and welcomed the prey down, down, down.
