The Milandisian was pinned beneath the thing’s grasp, incapable of even drawing his blade. In another second it would disembowel him.Then Vlad wasn’t there anymore.Kham smiled up at the shocked look on the ghoul’s bloated face.  “Hi,” he said.  Then he easily rolled out of the thing’s grasp.Translucent jaws grabbed the ghoul and dragged it off the Lady Quay.  The ghoul flew backwards off the deck, only to be incinerated by Sebastian from above.Vlad found himself in a hammock, where Kham had been just before. “So I guess that amulet did help, huh. Thanks.” Then Vlad reclined in the hammock, arms behind his head.  “It’s good to have you back.”Sebastian landed on the deck. “I don’t know how any crew manages to survive the Pale Sea," he said.</blockquote>
