Matthias slowly trys to stand the rock is slippery so it takes a moment. "No. It is okay. I, I think I can mange. Is the boy alright?" he asks more concerned for Haru then for himself.
Yaeth: (I rolled your spot for you.)
Yeath looks over the water bow at the ready but sees no moment even the shadow glimpsed before is ether to deep or motionless neath the water, making it hard to discern what is part of the waters underside and what is a threat.
Felipe: (I rolled your clime check for you.)
Izumi helps Felipe up as he climbs the stone successively.
"Izumi!" calls Proas, " Don't worry you sons recovered and ill help him get across the pool."
Proas turns to Haru and adds "Think you can manage a swim to the far bank? This outcroppings not likely to stay safe for long."
Haru nods agreeing with the plain to swim for it.
"I'll go last." Alexander waits for Izumi, Matt, and Felipe to swim to the far shore. He will begin swimming once the last person is off the rock, so if somebody has issues he can help immediately.
Out of Game: Swim : 18 + 5 = 23
In Character:: "Is everyone okay? I swear I saw something down there and I know something grabbed Matt. Becareful." Elrik will swim last with the group helping the weaker swimmers as he heads first to the center island then to where he can see the girl. He thinks to himself, children now, next the Mad King will jail the elderly.
Izumi looks to Alexander, "I appreciate your valor, but I'll have to insist I stay for the others. I hopefully have a trick up my sleeve for this beast from below."
She then yells to everyone, "I'm going to attempt to distract the creature in the water! If it's successful, it'll go away from us enough to give us time to get across! If everyone is ready, I'll do it now!"
With that Izumi digs into her component pouch and pulls out a small flat stone, makes a quick movement of her arms and says something inaudible to most(the others on the stone with her hear, 'Yha'tueh')
(Out of Character: Izumi is performing the spell Ghost Sound to make splashes in the water on the bottom left of the map for the creature to go after. Concentration check for spell 17+5=22
Also, I will take this time to declare my dodge against the creature...just in case)
In Game:
The spell goes off and the feeling of magic sends playful rile and haunting sounds across the water. A large shadow begins to move neath the service of the water toward the ripple as they are cast outward.
Proas dose not hesitate to jump in to the water Haru joining him a long side they began to swim for it by passing the center stone completely hopping to make it to the far side while the monster beneath the water is distracted.
Matt dives in to the water front he center stone taking no hesitation in his actions and swimming vigorously toward the shore.
The other join each with there declared swimming action and set targets.
Felipe makes his swim for the far shore attempting to swim well and managing to do so with out much trouble this time.
Alexander waits for Izumi, Matt, and Felipe to swim to the far shore. Then joined making his own swim as Yeath and the others begin to pass the center rock.
Yaeth swims to the center then is waved on for the far shore and continues his swim along with the others.
Elrik take the last spot helping the weaker swimmers as he heads first to the center island then to the far shore.
Izumi stands center stone alone considerations on her spell and keeping watch on the shadow.
She can hear the splashes for the group around her as they make there way from one platform to the other or from the center to the shore.
As the last of the splashes of her party mates tapper off the shadow makes a quick and sharp turn it is no longer distracted by the illusion and is heading for the shore line at a brisk speed.
The last of the party not including Izumi is just making it to the far shore as a Large slimy yet rough looking tentacle covered on one side by suction cups emerges from the water slamming down in a violent splash just before the shore missing the foot of the last swimmer by a mater of only a foot.
The shadow darts back front he shore link and quickly falls directly beneath the stone topped pillar that marks the center of the water. Izumi looks frantically left and right as she losses sight of the shadow as it retracts beneath the water.
She looks to the shore line just in time to hear "Look out behind you" called in tan gum by Yaeth, Proas, and Alexander. (I rolled spot for you all they where the only ones with a highness roll to get a warning out while every one sees what is going on)
She turns quickly to see a huge tentacle rising above her head front he water quickly followed by another and then another. She dodges the fist swipe, then in the act of dodging the next losses her footing and quickly will fall in to the water where she can see the large bulk of the shadow is waiting. She pushes off the rock with her feet saving her fall and making a leap and dive in to the water and over the shadow.
She is in the water and might want to make a swim for it.
