Chapter 8 - Into the Swamp

[Edeldhur]

Have we moved away from it?

[GreyWolfVT]

sry I will update.

In trying to move the raft away the ali-gator follows the raft bumping it from under the water and doing the same general it has been doing, stalking the group on the raft.

[Rex]

Egon

"Keep moving, I would rather fight this thing on land then in the water."

[gurusql]

Del

"Agreed. I do not want to be remembered as Alli."

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

The man readies one of his daggers - "Maybe we should try to find a patch of dry land - we are on its environment here"

[GreyWolfVT]

In haste to avoid becoming a meal to the alli-gator the group spots a island in the swamp and makes way to it all the while being stalked and tested by the creature. The raft makes it right into the dirt of the shore of the island that is not huge but is far more than tiny. There are some trees and moss as well as other plants that grow well in swampy areas.
As the group makes way to the dry land. The alli-gator stops in the shallow water and appears to change slightly it stands upright like a bipedal. It appears to now have arms and clawed hands.

[Rex]

Egon

"That isn't good, it is some sort of shape changer."

He moves to where he has some solid land to fight from and readies his axe and shield.

[Edeldhur]

Tellurion

Jumps to solid ground, daggers in hand, hopefully gaining some distance for a dagger throw.

Reywald mutters, Nope. as he summond forth a Flaming Sphere directly onto the scaly creature's face to make contact and hopefully drive it back.

Trist and Jivet

Trist considers the tactical results of their combat and thinks she might have a clue as to what they are fighting saying, "I think that's a were-aligator my friend. Magic and silver are needed if you have any to hit it with. Do not let up on your attacks."

Trist swaps to here magical longsword to attack the were gator.
