Re: The Zola Fel
Those on foot jump, slide and smash their way through the dense vegetation, emerging in chest high grass, whilst behind those on mounts are momentarily stalled by Wihakayda, the Rhino outright refusing to move.
Tarnessh and then Henal surge past, the latter brave holding back slightly to ensure no one attacks from cover.
Out in front Amara and Sand Fox are neck and neck, thrashing at the grass with arms and swords, but barrelling past comes first Mordy and then Salen, his feet pumping magically so that he literally flies past to reach the line of trees and tangled mangroves way ahead of his companions.
Just visible through the trees is the sparkle of water.
Back on the Dinosaur trail Hoskar, Bamled, Melock and Nixa watch and listen anxiously, whilst Ohanzee has to give up on his Rhino going anywhere for the moment...
Meanwhile Salen finds that there's a gap in the trees, with a shallow bank dropping down into a small creek, where there are two small boys waving sticks towards a flailing child in the water. It's a young girl and holding onto her by it's long mouth is some sort of amphibious creature a metre or so long, it's tail splashing the water as it attempts to drag the girl into deeper water.
Riverfolk for sure. There's woven reed baskets filled with shellfish and a trap of some sort half submerged in the water near where the girl struggles. By the feet of the boys are two large mud crabs, pincers tied.
The two boys turn as Salen and then the others arrive, startled looks on their faces
"Help us!" cries one, whilst the other drops his stick and legs it...
