Onward: Purple

The second night of their trek is interrupted by the shaking of the ground. It only lasts a few moments and all the tunnels hold, but it is enough to be a frightening experience.

And it seems to have agitated the monsters. A wave of crabs attack not long after the shaking has stopped, emerging from the rocks around them.

They are close to one of the sandbanks and as they emerge, for a moment out of the caves they will find darkened skies and choppy seas. There is a feeling of a storm approaching. It is cooler then it has been.

But that is the least of their problems. As they cross the sandbank, wading in the water a giant squid attacks. Tentacles reaching out of the sea, to wrap around limbs and pull the voidtreckers and those they are escorting off the sandbank and into the ocean depths.

The tentacles at least seem to withdraw if damaged enough, hopefully they can be fought off before anyone drowns.

Tangle let out an "Ugh" as she got the ichor all over her wetsuit, only to find it starting to slough off in the surf. Gritting her teeth, she turned to him.

"Wish I could say I was that lucky. But do you think we need to keep fighting, or do you think we gave everyone a good enough headstart?"

Glorfindel took a quick look around. Most everyone had gone by, except for those like them who were fighting the squid.

"You're right, we should probably wrap up. We don't need to kill it, just keep it from harming those we escort." That was a new lesson to learn. Orcs would just chase you down or go running for more, but the squid was not going to get into the next set of caves. Not without taking a lot more damage, anyway.
