Samurai 11- Sorcerer

The team as it stands now attempts to escape from the sorcerer, who has transformed into a Diplodocus! What a dirty trick...

For those of you who might be laboring under the impression that Diplodocus (or any other sauropod) was somehow harmless because it was a plant-eater, I would suggest to you that this is VERY unlikely. You look at today's herbivores, and you can see that something like a hippo, cape buffalo, or an elephant is likely to be just as dangerous (if not more so) than a lion if you happen to run into one out in the savannah. Diplodocus was obviously not built for speed... so if a predator or rival was giving him trouble, he had to fight his way out.

How? Partially by sheer bulk, but they also had this incredible whip-like tail. The tip of it was like a rod of bone several feet long, and projections are that they could really swing that sucker at terrifying speeds. No fun to be hit with. So a group of samurai and their companions facing a 12-ton transformed sorcerer with a 30' long whip of death for a tail... good idea to start running, wouldn't you say?
