[QUOTE="SelcSilverhand, post: 5913625, member: 30016"] With some help, Dain moves his camp from the forest glade to the sparesly wooded area around the Rumbleball. As the craft lacks any sort of beds, you set up your tents and unpack some of your supplies for a welcoming feast for your new companion. Midian goes off in seclusion far from the Rumbleball in order to gather his power. The trail of devastation on the surface looks disruptive, however the earth has been churned and areated while the old growth has been knocked down to give other species a chance. The others sit around the campfire and exchange stories of their adventures, fighting demons and cultists, the Last War, and all that has changed since then. Dain tells you what little he can of the Mournlands, but it is an ever changing place and what he can describe is just a small fraction of the stories you have heard coming from that tainted land. As the hour grows late you say your goodnights, set a watch rotation, and settle down the the night. Other than the glow of airship rings high in the night sky, the evening passes without incident. In the morning Midian returns and announces he is ready. Kraken enters the sphere with Doral and Whisper while Dain and Midian wait for them down near the waters edge. Midian mentions that after a night of studying the area and pondering what he could remember, he knows that the lake has connections to the sea and is quite deep in places. It may have any sort of ocean beast in it that can survive fresh water and there is no telling what could have been spawned by the Mournland's influence. With that, the two of them step out into the water and wait on Kraken. Kraken drives the craft to the waters edge and senses a resistance to his urging to send the craft into the water. However after a few moments of wrestling with the controls he drives the craft into the water. It roils along the surface churning up clouds of silt and plants before dropping out of sight. Midian casts his water breathing spells on Dain and an endure elements spell as an afterthought, not knowing how cold it will be below the surface. He dives into the cloudy water and vanishes. A moment later a massive dorsal fin breaks the surface followed by a slick grey body. Dain glimpses all black eyes and a mouth wide enough to swallow him whole. It isn't until the creature sticks its head above the water and waggles it back and forth to reassure him before he dives in himself to grab a hold on its back. With a powerful sweep of its tail, the shark-Midian dives after the sphere. Inside, navigation is difficult due to the clouds of silt kicked up by the craft. Kraken leans forward in his seat, trying his best to see through the silt. Realizing that the craft is plunging through darkness, Midian gapes his mouth and twists awkwardly in the water as he summons a minor spell to aid navigation. A light glows from the tips of the spikes as they roll along. A few more applications and soon the craft is ringed with light making the traveling much easier. The bottom continues to drop away rapid as you travel further out into the lake. Soon it is dark all around you with only a slightly less dim patch above you to indicate which way is up. Midian, Kraken, and Dain [SBLOCK] The darkness ahead of you seems to move oddly. You've seen shifting forms in the gloom before but this stands out to you.

Suddenly the thing in front of you jets in closer revealing a cylindrical body with a huge mantle above glowing red eyes.
