[QUOTE="talien, post: 4152640, member: 3285"] [b]Cut Throat's Gold - Part 2c: Landfall[/b] Kham surfaced with the unconscious Ilmarė. He spat out a mouthful of swamp water. His companions were gasping for breath. All around them were bits and pieces of vegetation. “Is she all right?” asked Vlad. “She’ll be fine.” Kham leaned over Ilmarė. “She just needs a little mouth to—“ Ilmarė grabbed Kham by the jaw and shoved him away. “I’m fine, thanks.” Kham rubbed his jaw. “So what were you all doing while I was rescuing the damsel in distress?” “Fighting a rrhiillîissaa,” said Cal. “A ree-WHAT-sa?” “But it dove under the water just now,” said Beldin. His beard was dripping wet. “Maybe you scared it off.” “Yeah, right,” said Kham. Bijoux cocked her head. “Listen.” The Sulfur Marsh was normally a tremendous din of strange creatures croaking, chirping, burbling and growling. But it had become eerily quiet. “I don’t hear anything,” said Dril. “Exactly,” said Bijoux. Far away, something large and slimy leaped out of the water onto an overhanging branch. The branch didn’t hold and it fell back into the water with a squeal. “I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” said Kham. A bit closer, a swarm of beetles clambered their way up several thin reeds and stayed there. “Ssliish râashuu!” shouted Cal. “In a language we can understand, please,” said Sebastian. “Ripper fish!” shouted Bijoux. “Climb! Quickly!” The water started to bubble around them. “Get onto dry land!” shouted Cal. “Hurry!” Sebastian pulled a wand from his belt and pointed it at the bubbling water near him. A blast of flames caused the swamp water to hiss and steam. Several small, cleaver-shaped fish with wickedly sharp teeth floated belly-up to the surface. They managed to scramble onto two soggy islands. “Now what?” asked Vlad. “Now we wait,” said Cal. “The ssliish râashuu follow the frhiillîissaa. They are looking for leftovers.” “Great,” said Ilmarė. “So we’re stuck here for the moment.” Kham upended one of his pistols. A stream of swamp water flowed out of the barrel. “How do I put this Cal…” “Your homeland sucks,” Dril finished for him [/QUOTE]
