Onward: Purple

[voidtreckermods]

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.

good idea

Alright, he has his wind back and turns back toward the tentacles. Fingon pulls forward, aiming for the one around Glorfindel's wrist.

Glorfindel trusted Fingon, so seeing him coming, he left the tentacle on his wrist to him. He concentrated on the one he was already fighting, swinging his sword at it again, to keep it from reclaiming his leg. He eased up on the heat, so Fingon wouldn't get scalded as he approached.

Good thing Glorfindel trusts him; if he were going to flinch a way, this would be a lot harder.

Good thing Fingon can be trusted, because this is a sharp knife worryingly close to Glorfindel's arm. But he knows what he's doing and the knife cuts down sharp and sure.

The beast roars.

Glorfindel gave Fingon a nod of thanks and pressed their advantage by faking going toward the giant squid to distract it again.
