Shiki walked into the enclosed forested sanctuary. Shiki released the snakes that he had captured form his last hunting trip into the area. He decided that his enclosure was the best place to keep them. It was a small valley teaming with life and vegetation. There were no humans around for miles. Shiki kept the snakes that were highly prized in this sanctuary. He had placed a slave collar on the necks of the bigger ones. Using the elder snake to relay his messages he made it very clear that if he showed up and they had left this valley he would simply kill them with the collar.

Shiki released the animals and was happy to be here at the start of something beautiful.

Attention: All the above is void for the following reason. To pursue the cultivation of "milking" and so on you must have the cultivation skill. And though you have it staff must roll a cultivation check as such and you have not had them do so nor ask to my knowledge for it to happen. The above two sessions of milking are void.

You have been here long enough to know that you shouldn't do your own rolls Snow.

I am going to issue a verbal warning here but if you do it again you will receive a 33%

Alright. I'll adjust my items appropriately. Sorry about the confusion.

(lets try this again. Sorry for the confusion. I honestly didn't know that was a rule. It wont happen again.)

Shiki entered the valley where he kept his fabled snake. The snake was a two headed elder snake that could speak. That being said he never really said much. Stepping down into the gulley where Shiki could sense the monster with his Quarry finding ability as well as the metal collar around both of the snakes heads. The snake was rather intelligent. Knowing that killing Shiki would mean the its immediate death it had grown content to live in this valley. Shiki walked up to the snake that was lounging around a fallen tree. Shiki walked up to him and began to milk the snake.

Snake, Amphisbaena
Rank: ""
Type: Very Rare, Large, Mystical Beast
Effect: A serpent that is one of the most perilous to face, sporting a head on both ends, making it statistically twice as dangerous.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: 1d4 rounds;
Drawback: ---
Description: All snakes fear fire and will retreat from open flames, lit torches that are swung vigorously and panicky people running about with beards aflame. These snakes have heads at both ends, each with poisonous fangs. The creature can move by grasping its necks with the opposite head, stiffening its body into a circle and rolling like a hoop. Both heads can attack different targets. Victims struck must save vs poison or die instantly. Amphisbaena are immune to cold attacks. Snakes are solitary carnivores, but it is not unusual to find a small clutch of reptiles in the same hunting area. They will feed on each other under dire circumstances and sometimes even share the same lairs. Certain snakes have adapted to life in the trees or have lived in inordinately long time. These Snakes are known as: Elder Snakes: Elders are snakes that have low intelligence over their years of experience. They gain one additional hit die and the ability to speak the prevailing local language, albeit with a lisp. Elder Snakes sound like sissies, but they are not. All saves against an Elder Snake's venom are made at -4 and death comes to those who fail the save in 1d4 rounds. Elder Snakes can hypnotize people as well as animals. There are rumors of a Grand Snakemaster, an immortal snake of enormous size with double hit dice and a hypnotizing power that forces anyone to save at -4. It is said that one who eats the shed skin of the Grand Snakemaster gains its knowledge. Whether or not this Grand Snakemaster exists is truly speculation. Snakes are born from eggs and can thrive on their own from birth. Different cultures of all sorts view the snake as a food source, a pet, a source of evil, a source of good or a good source of poison. Much like cats, snakes enjoy the pain of others.
Yields: Snake is edible and delicious. Snake venom can be sold. Snake venom should be stored in airtight containers. Snake handlers can harvest 1d3 vials per normal snake and 3d4 vials per giant snake. Subtract the number of bites from that total, as each vial contains one dose.

Shiki roared in pain and using his blood limit he used the slave collar that was on the snakes neck he drug the snake to the floor. Shiki raised his left hand and cast a stilled lightning torture jutsu on the snake coursing the most painful coursing electricity he could muster into making this snake suffer. "We had a deal Mr. Snek!" He roared as the snake would scream in agony. Shiki continued the lighting coursing into the snake until it would no longer be able to move for the rest of the day. Shiki knew that he would be alright. He would be dead by now if his body didn't resist the poison. He decided to work on the smaller snakes instead.

Snake, Venomous

Rank: ""

Type: Uncommon, Small, Animal

Effect: A limbless predator that debilitates the opponent with a dangerous venom and a sudden ambush attack.

Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: Special;

Drawback: ---

Description: Also known as Reptilius-Venomae. Snakes are long, slender reptiles without legs that are found nearly everywhere. They are carnivores and like to swallow their prey whole. The two basic types of snakes are venomous and constrictors. Venomous snakes tend to be smaller, but their poison is deadly. In general, snakes have light colored underbellies and scales that match their environment. They shed their skin several times each year. To determine the effect of a snake's venom, roll on the Poison Table. Varieties of venomous snakes include the asp, cobra, copperhead, coral snake, krait, mamba, puff adder, rattlesnake, sidewinder, black adder, sock cobra, asp of doom, and crotch adder. Some venomous snakes hunt at night and track warm-blooded prey by body heat. Snakes are solitary carnivores, but it is not unusual to find a small clutch of reptiles in the same hunting area. They will feed on each other under dire circumstances and sometimes even share the same lairs. Snakes are born from eggs and can thrive on their own from birth. Different cultures of all sorts view the snake as a food source, a pet, a source of evil, a source of good or a good source of poison. Much like cats, snakes enjoy the pain of others.

Yields: Snake is edible and delicious. Snake venom can be sold on the black market. Snake venom should be stored in airtight containers. Snake handlers can harvest 1d3 vials per normal snake. Subtract the number of bites from that total, as each vial contains one dose.

Shiki got down and found one of the smaller less dangerous snakes that he had found in his last poison hunting trip. He walked over to one of the cobras that he had collected that was hiding in some undergrowth. Using the small wire collar that he had fastened for the snake he pulled the creature into his range and began to attempt to milk the animal. Pulling out a small metal canister he produced a glass thumbvial and attempted to press the snakes fangs into the glass.

Shiki looked over at the massive and terrifying creature that stood before him. It swirled around a tree resting in a shaded spot inside this snake infested grove that Shiki had created. Shiki cleared his throat as the massive beast came out of the shade to look at him. Shiki was unimpressed by its size and strength. Shiki had defeated this creature before and was aware of its tricks. Shiki activated his bloodlimit and caught the second head of the snake that was creeping around him. Holding the snake in place with his blood limit with his slave collar around the snakes neck. 

Shiki pulled the creatures heads towards him and smiled. "You know the deal snake. You stay alive but you surrender your venom to me." Shiki said nonchalantly. "It's time to pay up."

Shiki smiled as he watched the snake curl itself around the tree. There was a desiccated deer corpse over to the right of the camp site. That was a good thing. That meant the snake had hunted recently and wouldn't be needing all the venom that Shiki was about to draw from the snake. Shiki raised his hand and pulled the creature over to him controlling it's head by the slave collar around its neck. Being able to control the movement was metal was quite the ability. Either way... Shiki got to milking.

Shiki stepped through the forest looking for the snake again. He knew exactly where it was and where it would be by the time he got there. Shiki found the two headed snake hanging out around the thick log where it liked to nap. Shiki walked up in front of the snake and pulled out his thumb vials. He stepped out in front of the snake and spoke very curtly. "alright. I'm here again. Are we gonna fight or are you just going to give me your venom again."

Shiki realized that despite the time that he had spent coming down here to take the venom from his snake he really didn't spend a lot of time exploring the entirety of this valley. Shiki picked up a barrel from his monster hunting station and decided to go see if he could find anything worth foraging for in the wilderness around these parts. Shiki started looking around for something that he could scavenge for. As he turned around a series of bushes he looked around at all the trees in the valley. Certainly one of them would have some tasty acorns.

Shiki smiled as he stepped past a series of bushes and moved into a grove of trees. There was like 15-16 trees that were sitting around in the middle of the grove. Shiki looked up in the branches trying to find some acorns for him to go bring to the shop. Shiki looked at the first tree and noticed the leaves were off. This wasn't the exact tree that he was looking for. Shiki stepped over the next shrub and moved over to the tree at the far end of the grove. If Shiki started there and started moving down the coast he would have a better chance at finding the oak tree.
