[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5200928, member: 60965"] Session 30, Part 12 Suniel and Bail stood panting, the water around them literally saturated with ink, silt, blood, blubber, and tentacles. The massive bulk of the kraken's body lay half-settled into the mud nearby, its immense tentacles stretched around them like fallen trees. Lightning still arced through the water around them. “I think we're out of lightning for the time being,” Bail said. “Fortunately, they seem to be out of squid, so it balances out.” “Don't let go of the True Stone yet,” Suniel said, glancing around at the carnage. “There might be enough of it still in the water to kill us without the True Stone's protection.” Bail had been just about to let go, but between Suniel's warning and the feeling of energy playing across his scales, he figured it might be a good idea not to yet. “Do you think those things are edible?” Bail said. “They might have been intelligent,” Suniel said, looking about at the dead squid – and parts of squid – that were still settling into the mud around them. “Eating other intelligent creatures seems somehow something like cannibalism.” “I don't think they were intelligent. Not that intelligent anyway, they attacked to the last man, well, last squid, even when it was pretty obvious that all it was getting them was dead.” They stood there for a while longer as the tinkle in the water faded and the water cleared a bit. “It's eerie down here now, anything keeping us from leaving here?” Bail finally said. Suniel slowly, tentatively withdrew his hand from the True Stone. “Seems safe enough. Let's get his True Stone and get out of here.” They waded through the churned goop of the lake-floor and began climbing the thick rubbery corpse of the dead kraken. “You know, speaking of True Stones, why didn't he use his on us, create a big whirlpool or something?” Bail said staring down at one of its massive, lidless eyes. “That's what I was worried most about.” “Remember what I did to... did to my son back on the Landspear?” Suniel said, halting for a moment as they looked about for the True Stone. Bail shuddered. [I]He turned him into little more than an animal,[/I] Bail thought. [I]A quick chant and he cut up something in his head...[/I] “I see that you remember,” Suniel said. “Well, as soon as the kraken began attacking, I did the same to it. It was probably no more intelligent than your average shark when it attacked us.” “Did I ever tell you I'm glad I'm on your side?” Bail said, still staring into the kraken's eye. [I]It still looks evil somehow, even though now its just meat[/I], he thought. “I've regained only a fraction of the power I had before, back Thessalock and I were still working together. If I had it all now I could-” Suniel stopped in mid-sentence. “Ah, here it is.” Bail looked up to see Suniel walking towards him with the bubbling, swirling, head-sized sapphire of the True Stone of Water. “Let's get back to the Turtle and get out of here,” Suniel said, jumping off the kraken. “Two down, too many to go,” Bail grumbled. He glanced at the big dead eye one more time, then followed the elf. "Oh hey, I just remembered," he called as he followed Suniel. "I was going to ask you before we left the Turtle.
