Unfortunately for the creature, the first thing to enter its range is Impa. Already on the thing as it rises up, Impa slides in under its head and thrusts her dagger up under the jaw and toward the creature’s neck. To her surprise the creature is wearing crude bone armor on its underbelly, her blade deflects off a bone, but slides past burying itself in the monster’s throat. The creature’s charge halts and its clawed hands scrabble at the dagger, but Impa gives the monster no time to process what is happening as she drives her weapon in deeper and drags it to the side. The monster topples over taking her with it and the two roll violently in the mud and shallow water, as the creature, acting on instinct tries to free itself. Impa holds firm however and eventually the monster lies still, a huge bloody gash in its neck spilling blood into the water.
>You lucky bastards rolled just high enough to kill it in one blow.Breathing hard from the struggle, Impa stands up, disentangling herself from the body. As she returns to her people there is a loud and low growl from out on the water. In the torchlight several more scaly heads rise up from the murky water. Impa orders her men into formation preparing for an attack, but the creatures seem content to sit and growl at them. After a tense moment of staring, one the heads moves forward and bites down on the corpse of its companion, then disappears into the murky water. Its friends soon follow and the sounds of the night time wilds return.
>Order the camp to move, this location clearly isn’t a safe place to sleep.>Have the monsters followed, you’re curious to see where they go.>You have proven your strength, its unlikely the creatures will return tonight. Double the next watch, but remain in place, your people need their rest.>[Write In]
