Directly before her the vortex still spins leaving her only option for escape a now short scramble up and over the slippery rock. No less than four of the remaining swimmers still lie in the danger zone of the whirlpool which before her eyes heaves and shifts in what can only be an attempt to grab another victim before they all escape its currents grasp and to her horror two of the swimmers are dragged in wih no hope of escaping on their own...(Climb DC 10 Swim 20)TatikiEven as Mou draws up alongside the Rock and thrusts her head up to call Lani's attention, you see your combined call answered as another of her pod appears from outside the bay and approaches the scene. The Nukuhau swimmer is at first shocked to see the porpoise before her but quickly takes advantage of the assistance being offered there.You can see Lani's head above the rocks peak and you see the other swimmer and even Puna Tani. Unfortunately from your vantage you cannot see the remaining swimmers that have now fallen victim to the vortexs pullPuna TaniThe elemental aitua in the vortex has the form of a large moray eel though you know that is not its true guise, it is enflamed by the escape of the Urukehu Hautai and in its fury heaves up before your eyes and the vortex shifts in what can only be an attempt to take another victim before they all escape its grasp. Of the four swimmers within the dangerzone two are dragged in with no hope of escaping on their own... Tu-RuStill oblivious the O'punga powers foward to draw parralel and then overtake the Hiva swimmer. It is not long before his powerful strokes carry him close enough to the shore that he knows that he could stand if he wished too, the voice of the crowd is easily heard here with its calls and rumble.It is with a few more strokes that he finds himself meeting the first line of the wall of legs that have moved down from the sand into the water to block his path.Then you feel something grab your leg...(DC 15 Reflex save)WaiAs the scene on the water unfolds before you the situation on the beach has also changed. As a body the whole crowd seems to have pushed its way down the beach and into the water. The O'Punga and the Hiva swimmer are approaching fast though the incident out the rock draws everyones attention. Cries of Shark have died down as Mou and the other dolphin are spotted more clearly. Lani can be seen up on the rock and Puna Tani and Tatiki both swimming towards her.However the plight of the two caught by the vortex can also be seen as your own feet enter the water. Their are calls and concerned babbling and prayers as the pair and pulled in to the whirlpools maul "Wai, quickly!" a voice calls and turning you see Maeharoa and a few other of the young men hauling one of the village canoes from along the beach into the waves ready to row out to assist...</blockquote>
