The Aftermath
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2021 2:31 pm
A painstakingly long soak in the freezing waters of the Hyperborean Sea is nearly torture enough to wash away any bad memories of what happened back on the ship completely. Almost.
Although Valkrina is able to stay afloat the longest, nearly taming the voracious churning waters of the whirlpool on her makeshift boogie board, she is eventually swallowed up just as her friends were before her. Once the party is sucked into the black void at the center of the swirling vortex, their ordeal truly begins.
For what seems like days, you are dunked and battered in the tumultuous seas, trying to keep your heads above the water where you can continue to draw breath. Your fit bodies eventually fail, despite your strong will to survive, yet somehow, you still do. Though Euripides and Apollonius have a slightly easier time navigating under the surface of the cold water, each member of the group eventually gives in to their obvious fate. A miracle that you lasted this long, the last thing each of you remembers is sinking deeper and deeper into the dark water, the glowing gems in your idols the last vision you see.
An undeterminable amount of time later, your soggy, waterlogged bodies are washed up on a small beach of grey colored flat stones, nothing like the soft sand you saw on the last beach you visited. The beach area leads up into a huge forest of massively tall deciduous trees mixed in with a few evergreens. There are rocky formations on either end of the small beach, preventing you from seeing much more in either direction, but you have clearly been washed ashore on another small island, looking nothing like where you just came from.
Slowly and groggily, you all come to your senses, everyone except for Euripides that is. The young Atlantean is still out cold, and he is currently being dragged off by what appears to be large blue crabs, about the size of a normal dog. As you focus on the sight, you notice that the Purloiner still has that same look of total peace on his sleepy face, even after your long harrowing ordeal at sea.
Three more of these large crab-like creatures circle around the waking group, carefully choosing their next victim.
