Finding a safe perch you catch your breath and look around at the scene about you.The Vortex seems to be clining close to the rock and you know that it was not their the day before. The swimmer from Nukuhau is on the opposite side of the vortext and moving away from you, whilst behind are three other swimers who have pulled up and are now ,making their way towards the rock, knowing that as long as they are in the water they are vunerable to the vortex and its currents. You also k can't miss the dark sharp speeding towards you through the water and though your experience tells you that it is unlikely to be a shark still you strain to make it out clearly(ooc another spot check but DC5 since Mou isnt and is hiding heading towards you)TatikiMou speeds forward defty avoiding the pull of the vortex as she makes her way around to the rock upon which Lani is perched. The porpoise signals to the Urukehu to come with her, willing to carry the Urukehu to shallow water.Meanwhile Tatiki feeling Mou's distress breaks off from his swim, and turns to see Lani up on the rock and the others treading water behind him. Tu-Ru must swerve to avoid him as the Opunga overtakes but Tatiki heads towards Lani seeking to give aid to the other distressed swimers. In the distance you hear the cry of Mou's pod responding to their daughters plantive calls and your own calls join hers asking their aid...Tu-RuPowering forward, only at the last moment do you notice Tatiki pulled up in front of you and must swerve to avoid him. With Tatiki dropping from the race and the other noise and activity about you, you can not but wonder at what is going on. But with the Hiva swimmer only a stroke ahead and the shore approaching fast you must choose to win this race or stop and check whats going on...WaiYou flinch in sympathy as Puna Tani hits the water, knowing that he did not enter cleanly and knowing the pain and shock he must feel. All about you the crowds are moving and many are now up to their own waists in the water willing their people to get ashore safely.Everyone seems to be aware of the events by the rock except for the Hiva Swimmer and Tu-Ru coming up beside him. Either they are so engrossed in the race that they have cleared their minds of all else, or else they simply do not care. Puna TaniExhausted by the impact, Puna Tani struggles to push himself up towards the light and the air above. Breaking the surface again he reorientates himself and turns towards the Rock with Lani perched atop and the Porpoise Mou trying to catch her attention.Spying the whirlpool, for a moment you think you saw somthing  up from the waterlaring back at him , "you will drown, slowly, paimfully" the voice inside your head hisses(ooc Spot check 20)</blockquote>
