Riddick & RedFox
You love the drama, but I know how to make the enemy think I’m dead. Got any tricks of your own to stir up a good lie?
Sure thing, kid. First, grab a handful of cheap, black‑dye‑filled burlap bags—just enough to look like your own blood. Toss them on the ground where the enemy is expecting you, sprinkle a few leaves of fresh cut grass, and drop a battered, old hat or something that screams “I was here.” Then, step back and let the wind blow. The scent of smoke from a fake fire you lit a block away will carry the illusion deeper into their minds. By the time they’re chasing that phantom corpse, you’ll have slipped into the shadows with a grin. Play it slow, let the story unfold, and let them chase their own mirage while you’re already sipping on victory.
That’s pretty slick. Keeps them busy, gives me room to move. Good idea. Keep the wind where it can carry the scent far. And make sure they’re not looking for the real body. You’ll never need a body anyway.
Next trick: send a decoy trail of bright, shimmering dye—like glitter from a cheap confetti pack—leading straight into a swampy ditch. The enemy will chase that glitter path, thinking it leads to a body, but you’ve planted a small, rusted, iron cross just outside. When they hit it, they’ll think you’re buried there. Meanwhile you slip past the swamp, the wind blowing that glitter back to your camp, a harmless reminder that you’re the one orchestrating the show.
