But at all times, he looked over the rail into the deep and wondered why is there no follow up? What could possibly send a terrible shark and then fail to attack the ship while damaged and crew while weakened. It made no sense.High Captain tests his followers, sure, but this was to malicious to come from him. Umberlee may want to stop us, for spite if no other reason. People under the sea may resent our crossing of their teritorry, but they would follow up with an attack. He could see only two more possibilities.One, the creature was sent by someone back home, maybe via proxy onboard - to that effect, he searched the ships hold, trying to find something that would indicate a ritual, maybe an item, totem of sorts as focus for remote casting.Two, the land we are approaching has active defenses this far out. That would indicate that we are detected this far off the shore. And that the natives are not friendly.Neither option was good. But hostile locals were better, having someone to sabotage the mission would be disastrous. With such glum thoughts, Luthor would almost welcome outside attack.</blockquote>
