[QUOTE="reddist, post: 3051674, member: 5212"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Century Gothic]The cavern calms once more and we feel freer to explore the banks of the dark lake. The far end holds a small surprise… a bronze door is fitted into the wall on the other side of the bank. Thin, curving runes are inscribed on the door, and prove incomprehensible to both Theros and Cyridon. Chath fiddles with the silver lock, but his efforts are futile. The door is locked through magics stronger than we were prepared for. We step back from the door to ponder our next move. Perhaps out of boredom, Chath kicks and pushes at a corpse of one of the dark mantles, moving it to the murky water. Even as he rolls the corpse into the lake, the waters come alive, boiling and frothing as giant frogs burst through the surface. One lashes out at Chath, spearing him with a thick, sticky tongue. Chath is hauled back, kicking and screaming as he goes, disappearing in to the frog’s gaping maw. His legs jerk feebly and then go still, dangling out of the frog’s mouth. I think this is the third time in a week Chath has been eaten by a frog. With practiced ease I pull the slender trident from my quiver and lunge at the frog. The trident pierces its hide like a needle into a ripe tomato, sinking effortlessly all the way to the crossbar. I yank it out, and the frog explodes as the barbs rip apart muscles, bones, tendons, and inner organs. Frog bits fly in all directions as I spin the trident around to stab the second beast, and it too dies a grisly and quick death on the end of the baneful trident. Theros and Cyrdidon pull Chath from the mash of yellow, green, and red muck, wiping his face off. He appears pale and drawn, and can barely keep to his feet. While the two scholars help Chath back to shore Balderk and I wade in to the pool, looking for more of the monstrous amphibians. The knight holds his sword aloft, and I wield the trident. The water never gets much above our waists, even when the far back wall comes down to meet the surface. We can each feel the pull of a slight current though, tugging at our legs, and we know there is a passage underneath the water leading back behind the rock wall. And, no doubt, to more frogs. Undaunted, I tie a thin rope around my waist and take a firm grip on the trident. Surely no frog could stand long against the vengeful might of the Gig. I take a deep breath, nod to Balderk, and duck under the water. [/FONT] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
