Re: Sailors on the Starless Sea
Three fall before they have thrust their spears. The first, a man in all respects except for his hunched, furred back, upon which sits a second, diminutive head, has his femoral artery severed by Del (BM#1 dies). The second to fall, a man in every way save for his thick, leathery skin and head of an elephant, is ventilated by a longsword of milky steel. And then a third and a fourth when Arnie and Dave attack gallantly, well, Arnie anyhow.
But that leaves two.
Oh, sweet Del, the last cookie. A "man" with iridescent scales and a saurian head catches her flush with his spear thrust, impaling her verily with such force as to lift her off the floor and have her slide, inch by inch, down the foul thing's shaft. She dies then and there and no longing look from Arnie can free her.
Callum, having just fleshed his longsword and still recovering his stance, can't defend himself from the other. He smells the thing upon him all brine and sweat, its octopod face before him. As the eight tentacles frame his ashen countenance, the chaos cultist slips his spear between the herder's ribs and to the ground, he falls. The blood spills some, not much, but enough to attract a sow's eager lips.
