How's it going you wonderful bastards and welcome to another chapter of Primal Warriors. Sooooo, I said last chapter that I would post the next set of dossiers on the survivetheArk website. Unfortunately, i'm unable to log on to my account for some reason. So for the time being, i'll be posting the the dossiers here. They will only be in words but until I sort things out with survivetheArk thats all I got. So here you guys and gals go.

Dossier #1

Common Name: Anomalocaris

Species: Anomalocaris arminatis

Time: Cambrian

Diet: Carnivore

Temperament: Skittish

Wild: Anomalocaris arminatis is commonly found in the shallows of the waters surrounding the island. Roughly the size of the average person, these shrimp looking arthropods are one of the most bizarre lifeforms you would come across. With their disturbing mandibles and large eye stalks, most new survivors i've come across give them a wide berth. In actuality, they are quite skittish, preferring to feast on the trilobites and sometimes small Coel's that are common around their habitats.

Known Information: The only time i've seen an A. arminatis get aggressive is when there is blood in the water. Like little monstrous sharks they swarm the area where the animal or human is bleeding. But only if the creature cannot defend itself do A. arminatis move in for the kill, tearing apart the prey with their mandibles.

Domesticated: Due to being a relatively primitive species, A. arminatis does not possess the intelligence to be tamed. However, tribes are able to use the arthropod for a variety of uses. For starters, their armored bodies are excellent sources of chitin. Also from all the trilobites they consume, silica pearls can be found in their digestive tract, sometimes even the rare black pearls. But their most useful features are their mandibles and eye stalks. The effects these body parts by consuming them can either be beneficial or dangerous for the consumer, depending on the recipe. It has become so dangerous, it's use has been banned from several tribes.

Dossier #2

Common Name: Diabloceratops

Species: Diabloceratops cornuturarus

Time: Late Cretaceous

Diet: Herbivore

Temperament: Docile

Wild: One of the least common denizens of the island, Diabloceratops cornuturarus is often mistaken for the larger Triceratops from a distance. On closer inspection, however, the key feature that distinguishes the animal, a pair of horns that branch out the top of its head and grow away from each other, giving it a "devilish" look. These medium species of ceratops are generally widespread, but normally alone due to their solitary nature.

Known Information: D. cornuturarus is relatively docile around other creatures, preferring to graze instead of picking a fight. That changes however, when something does attack it. The Diablo goes from peaceful grazer to a formidable warrior, rivaling even the Kentro's in power. They use their tall crests as shields while their horns over their eyes are used as devastating weapons, able to pierce some of the toughest armor and gore even the most sturdiest creature.

Domesticated: A tamed Diablo is one of the most useful tames a tribe could ask for multiple reasons. On the more peaceful side of uses, they can be used for farming, by digging huge trenches with their horns. They can also be used for collecting wood, as they can easily knock them down. Combat wise, their horns and raw power can cause serious damage, whether it be an creature or man made.

Dossier #3

Common Name: Ceratosaurus

Species: Ceratosaurus arcanuvenandi

Time: Late Jurassic

Diet: Carnivore

Temperament: Patient

Wild: Ceratosaurus arcanuvenandi is a medium sized theropod found in the heavily wooded regions of the island. Preying on the forest creatures, the Cera has developed a unique adaptation to hunting the faster has evolved to have an advanced camouflage that allows it to blend in with the surrounding foliage. As prey gets close enough, it leaps forward with a burst of speed, clamping down on the unsuspecting animal with its powerful jaws, which act like a steel trap and refuse to let go.

Known Information: Interestingly, the Cera's have a sort of rivalry with the larger Megalosaurus. While the Meglo has more strength to it, the Cera's advanced stealth abilities made it an even match for the two species. That might be the reason why the Cera's hunt during the day while the Meglo's use the night to their advantage.

Domesticated: Tamed Ceras are used mostly as giant guards. Able to camouflage into different terrains (but work best amongst foliage), they could handle most intruders. They disguise is broken, however, if a Megalosaurus is brought into the picture, which would cause it to focus on just it. Their powerful jaws can also be easily used for taking down smaller creatures, even able to pick up creatures as big as raptors!

And thats the new dossiers. I'll be posting the new ones as I keep introducing new creatures. And now please, enjoy the following chapter.

I only own OC's. Wildcard owns everything else.

Chapter 13: A Terrifying Surprise

Alex lay hidden amongst some bushes, eyeing the enemy camp in front of him. Since the last time he was here, the raider's base has grown in its size. Now at least twice its original size, the enemy didn't waste space as more buildings were built, either for supplies or for people. He could even now see a couple of barns, where figures could be seen walking animals in and out of them.

There was also a large amount of workers moving through the camp. They were heavily guarded as well, mostly watched over by mounted Carnos, who surveyed their charges with malice. Some men appeared to have whips beside them. The workers were doing various activities, from placing foundations to digging trenches.

Trying to see in better details, I pulled out my spyglass to get a better look. Made from a combination of wood, fiber and hide, along with a pair of small crystals found close to the cove allowing the person's view to be magnified.

As I continued to look through the spyglass, I could make out a small group moving through the camp, and judging by their formation I could tell it was the head honcho himself. There were four guards, carrying large metal pikes and wearing some sort of weird looking red armor. The two men in the middle were less armored, covered in mostly leather. Walking alongside them was a large Kaprosuchus. Easily around the same size as Diego, the "boar croc" was covered in dark green scales, perfect for blending into the dark waters of the swamp. Its jaws were lined with massive teeth, and even from this distance he could see they were recently stained with blood.

The party was moving through the camp, checking on the workers as they slowly made their way towards the largest building, a large barn in the center of the camp.

"That must be where their keeping the saddle" I whispered to my partners, Taylor and Erik. While the rest of the party was camped not to far away from here, a small scouting party went ahead to get a look at the camp.

The others were clearly agitated by the camp below them. Taylor was looking through her own spyglass searching for Naomi, while Erik was clearly uneasy being so close to the place he was forced to work at.

After several seconds of watching the movement of the camp, Taylor finally spoke up. "I don't see Naomi anywhere. She's either inside a building or-" she was about to finish her sentence, since I cut her off after hearing the distress in her voice.

"She's most likely working somewhere inside. I doubt they would risk killing more people so soon after we broke some of their workers out. I'm sure she's fine". I tried to reassure her, but as soon as I finished my sentence, commotion could be heard from down below, followed by a loud roar.

We looked down to see a large number of people congregating around the main barn as it began to shake from the loud roar. We could hear several of the guards shouting at each other, before everything went still in the large structure.

"Whatever that was, i would much rather not meet it face to face", Erik said nervously. Alex looked over to see him clutching his spear tightly as he stared towards the large structure.

He couldn't blame him for his sudden reaction. Many of the island's large organism s are dangerous to humans, and if the enemy managed to acquire one of them, their odds of survival have fallen significantly.

After a couple of minutes of observing and they headed back to base camp before the risk of being seen was to great. They traveled a good hour before arriving at a nearby cave where the rest of the party was at. Situated a couple miles away from the enemy base, they were able to make small fires for warmth and food. The cave opening was small enough to fit even Aran, but barley. Also, the particular cave they were staying in had strange glowing mushrooms that kept creatures like Troodons away.

As we arrived back, we heard the shrill cry of Ashley's Compy, while the little dinosaur stared at them from atop a rocky outcrop. Diego, who was napping on a tree overhead, perked his head up at the noise and looked at the scouting party returning. A couple minutes later, both Sam and Ashley emerged from the cave, Plume trailing behind them.

"What's the situation?" Sam asked, slight worry on her face. We told her what we saw and worry continued to grow on her face. After giving our intel, we headed inside to discuss where the other were.

The cave was surprisingly large enough to fit ten people and several large dinos, including both Aran and Binda. Nike, however, was kept nearby outside, since he refused to share the tight space with a large carnivore.

The humans were milled about a small fire, passing the time while waiting for the party to get back. Marcus was carving a piece of wood with his knife by the fire, apparently some type of animal. Sierra, one of the survivors that was found after the cove and our resident medic, was busy going through our medical supplies. Megan, who was one of the rescued slaves, was preparing some food for the rest of the party. The last two, Jack and Daniel, were busy talking by the fire and sharpening their weapons. As soon as we walked in, all heads turned towards us (and a lazy eye from Aran).

It was a little uneasy seeing so many people looking at me for an explanation. Clearing my throat, I spoke up and addressed the situation.

"Well i got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that, they have acquired their "candidate", loud goans could be heard from the others. I held up my hand to quiet them down. "The good news is that it appears they haven't managed to control it yet. This might by us some time to stop them, once and for all".

Slight murmuring could be heard amongst the cave. Despite having some time before the beast was controlled, the odds were still against their favor. Alex couldn't help to agree with them.

He raised his hand to quiet everyone down, and he noted how the cave got instantly quiet. Welp, if I wasn't the leader before, I am now.

"I know it seems like nothing has changed much. But personally, i will take an chance we could get. Which brings me to my second topic, which is that when to strike". He hesitated, being a little afraid of the next words. "I believe we should attack tomorrow night".

There was several voices at once on the proposed time. Some disagreed mainly because they were underprepared. Others agreed that they might not have a better chance. Megan had the guts to suggest that the creature might even be controlled by then. Conversations turned into arguments as the voices turned angry at one another.

Thankfully Diego was on the case, (most likely cause all the loud noises were annoying him), as he let out a low roar which shut everyone up (and also make Aran lift his head up in surprise).

Alex smiled down at his first companion, whispering a quite thank you before continuing. "I know thats a small window of preparation, and also they could manage to control the creature. However, I think that now might be the best time we got. Their occupied with the creature, which might allow us to cause enough damage to take finish them off. It might be a longshot but hey, i'll take that chance".

He tried to sound encourageable, and succeeded slightly as the looks he was given were more understandable. However, there was still silver on uncertainty in the air. Well at least we are taking this thing seriously.

"So", Jack said from the back, breaking the silence, "what's the plan?"

I gave a slight smile, and we all got together to form the plan.

Two days later…

Midnight…

As the night reached its highest point, the guards were busy moving around the camp, both on their feet and on dinoback. They were ever vigilant, making sure there were no intruders into the camp. Unfortunately, they would be in for a rude awakening.

One of the guards held a massive pike in his hand as he walked near the edge of the camp. Still an area not heavily worked on, there was still a large amount of foliage around the area. He was extra carefully, knowing that any sorts of small critters could be hiding in it, peaceful or not.

As he passed by one bush, rusting could be heard from inside it. Hearing the noise, he jumped slightly and pointed his weapon at it. The bush shaked a couple more times before a small monkey emerged from it. It was slightly tan with brown stripes on its back and tail. The little primate yelled at it before running up a nearby tree and stared him down. He relaxed slightly as he looked at the animal. The damn monkeys were known to cause some trouble. However, he didn't notice the movement behind him before he fell over dead, his throat slit open.

Sam moved the body into the foliage before imitating a call similar to the Meso. A couple seconds later, movement could be seen coming from the bushes as five humans stepped out in dark clothing. The monkey dropped down from the tree and climbed onto one of the peoples shoulder. As they moved towards the camp, Diego trailed slightly behind them, keeping an eye out for any unsuspecting activity.

The party moved towards a nearby building, a two story building that acted as sort of a barracks. After observing for a couple of days, they knew that the building was where a "Keymaster" stayed. They saw that the man was responsible for the keys to all the buildings in the area, including the slave quarters and the large barn.

Alex that one of the windows that was high up was open and nodded towards the person with the monkey, being Daniel. The man nodded back before whispering towards the smaller primate. Without a sound, the Meso leapt off his shoulders and climbed towards the window and entered it. After encountering some a while back and taming a few of them, the tribe discovered they were excellent at getting into hard to reach places and finding things. A couple of painfully long seconds went by until the little guy returned towards the window and lept back onto Daniel's shoulder, a set of keys in its hands.

Daniel handed the keys back towards Alex. He looked down to exam the keys. One was around average size for a key while the other was bigger than his own hand. He grabbed that key before tossing the other key towards Sam.

The plan was simple. He and Jack will head towards the barn while Sam, Daniel and Taylor will free the slaves. Diego will trail behind them and make sure they are not in any danger.

After some quick nods the teams split off into opposite directions. Alex and JAck ran towards the giant barn, waiting a couple of times as patrols went by. Thankfully, no of them were on dinoback, making their job of sneaking much easier.

Despite the painstakingly long waits, they finally managed to make it towards the door. As they pressed their backs to the wall, they could hear heavy breathing on the other side. Whatever it was, it was moved slowly around the side until they reached the door with a large padlock on it. Unlocking it, they moved quickly inside before anyone saw them.

Once they made it inside, they were in a small side room that was connected to the main building. There was a small table with a guard that was asleep before being woken up by the door opening. He sleepily mumbled an apology before realizing who was in front of him. Before he could move, Jack moved quickly and covered his mouth so he couldn't make a noise. Despite struggling, Jack was bigger and more stronger than the man he had in a headlock. A couple minutes go by before passes out in defeat, going limp. Jack propped him up right with his back towards the door in case they got caught.

After that was taken care of, they moved off towards a nearby door that most likely led to the main part of the building. Here, the breathing was louder and was causing the door to shake slightly. We looked at each other before we opened it and moved in. What lay on the other side gave us quite a shock.

The main part of the barn was mostly empty empty save a couple of troughs go water and food (judging by the smell, it was most likely meat). There were several torches in the rafters, giving off a low light. Suspended by several chains, a giant saddle was hanging near the ceiling. And in the middle of it all, being held by massive metal chains, was a tyrannosaurus.

The beast was massive beyond comparison, easily dwarfing its real its extinct relatives. It was a sickly shade of both brown and red, With darker plate like osteoderms running along its back. Drool could be seen dripping down from its yellow stained teeth It's yellow eye, which was bigger than my head, was staring at us almost lazily.

The monster let out a low growl, shaking the foundations of the building before calming down. For a few brief seconds afterwards, we listen in case someone heard. After a couple of minutes, we figured no one heard it. Still we were on high alert, in case they were still coming.

As we still observed the animal, we noticed it was behaving mildly, which confused me. Normally these animals were quite aggressive, even to smaller animals. This one seemed like it didn't care as much.

Just as I was thinking that I smelled a familiar scent. Narcoberries. I moved towards the food trough, staying as far away from the massive head, and looked inside. Sure enough, mixed with the meat were the small, black berries.

SO thats how they keep it at least calm. He stared at the animal before noticing something. He couldn't see Jack anymore.

"Jack?", I whispered, making sure to be quite so I don't disturb the dinosaur. "Jack where are you?"

I moved around the head towards the door where I last saw him. He was not their, but I could see something resting upright against a nearby by pillar.

I walked over to Jack and shook him slightly. "Jack, come on let's start breaking these-", but before I could finish, he toppled over and fell on his back. At first I thought he was dead, but then I could see his eyes moving rapidly around, filled with fear.

Before I could help him up, I felt something prick the back of my neck. Reaching around, I pulled out a small dart with a green liquid on the tip. A second later, my arms and legs locked up and fell backwards, unable to move. I tried to call out but I was unable to make any noise. All I could do was move my eyes towards a figure that appeared in my view. Due to the dim lighting, I couldn't make out any details.

The figure looked at me for a few seconds before raising his weapon, a crossbow. The last thing I remembered was a sharp pain in the side of my head before darkness.

Well, that's one way to end a chapter that took me forever to write. Well there you go guys and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Yes im alive and still plan to finish this story, writers block can be a bitch sometimes.

Without explaining the reasons this took forever to come out, I just hope this chapter was worth the wait somewhat. If you have any questions, leave a message and I hope you all have a wonderful time. PEACE!
