"LORENTINO!" The Tentacles emerged from the water and snatched us all up, I knew this creature. I'd dealt with it before and frankly I was tired of dealing with it and all of its uglyness.
"Hello whatever you are supposed to be." I still have no idea what the creature actually was, its crushing tentacle on my body burned, I could tell it was happy to see me.
"YOUR DESTRUCTION!"
"You've dealt with this thing before?" Valrym sounded almost surprised.
"Oh yeah we're old friends used to play cards, caught him cheating ran him out of town it was all the rage in the local tongue waggers." I felt the tentacle crush me tighter.
"YOU WILL BE SILENT YOU FOOLISH NECROMANCER!" I don't understand why he didn't kill us if he wanted us to be quiet. Especially me, I mean talking in the face of my own destruction is kind of my thing, its what I do, its where I live!
"You're a necromancer? Now I know why Valrym dislikes you."
"I've nanced my fair share of necros yes, but you know it was always with the best intentions, mostly to avoid this exact type of scenario in which I find myself in." The tentacle tightened again and I swear I heard my bones break, suddenly I remembered why I hated this creature.
"GODLINGS! YOUR GOD IS DEAD AND NOW YOU WILL JOIN HER!" I could see it crushing them as well, well crushing Val, Guthlu looked pretty ok, probably his stupid armor.
"Yeah beasty I'm not dying to you today." Guthlu produced a blade from his armor and sliced the tentacle open, the creature howled and dropped him into the murky water (which to be honest seemed like a worse fate than the crushing). Whatever he did upet the other tentacles because me and Val plunged into the murky water as well, my ribs hurt something fierce upon entry. And then other tentacles sprung forth and tossed me and Valrym towards the walls of the area, I landed with a crack as did Val.
"Well I'm glad he did that."
"Guthlu never was one for plans."
"YOU WILL ALL DIE!!!" The voice was more insistent, but to be honest since I felt like I was dying at the time, it was pretty much a given I was well on the way. Of course I didn't, I mean why do I have to keep telling you all that?
