The final volley of attacks strike the creature in a spray of blood, scale, and water. The creature collapses and twitches convulsively down its length. A triumphant cry goes up from the sailors who scramble to get nets into the water before the body sinks. They struggle to haul in the body which turns out to be heavier than it looks. Stretched out on the deck, the creature is nearly ten feet long. Its head up close looks less womanly. Inch long fangs protrude from a mouth still distorted in a death grimace. Strands of black spittle drip from those poisonous fangs. Her hair is thick, ropey, an matted with seaweed. Her pupils are slitted like a snakes. From the neck down the body turns from human-like flesh to small scales covered in a thin slime like an eel. Oddly enough, for a creature with no hands, her ears are pierced and about her neck is a tight choker of black material studded with pale, rounded pieces of bone.
One of the sailors drags over the corpse of the four-armed monstrosity that Whisper killed. The creature is green in color, with darker stripes along its back like a tiger and paler on its belly. Four pairs of arms jut from its torso and a short, muscular tail with a crescent sharks fin extends from its rear. Its face has large, all black eyes and an over sized mouth filled with rows upon rows of pointed teeth. About its waist is a thick corded belt made from some kind of leather. A small sack dangles from it. About the creatures neck is a amulet that resembles a fanged mouth.
After seeing that the danger is over, the Captain strides over to Johan. Johan looks up from the sailor he pulled aboard and shakes his head. The shark attack had been fatal. Johan covers the corpse with a bit of sail cloth to hide the terrible wounds. The Captain doubles up the watch for the evening and makes sure to include a few of the mercenaries among them. He announces that in the morning there would a burial at sea for the brave dead. The ship sails onward.
