(Ok! Had my Overwatch fix, but I hit a losing streak, so while I de-salt, let's do this thing!)<br/><br/>[CC Command: Play Dead/ Startle the Other Presence]<br/><br/>You lay still as the movement draws closer, because you hope the creature will just ignore your prone form, and because it hurts too much to really move at the moment. The monster's footsteps aren't very heavy, so whatever it is, it is smaller than the frog you encountered, and from their frequency, you can guess that it is a four-legged beast. But you are worried by the fact that they seem to be continually drawing closer to you. And then, you can feel it looming directly over you, as it begins to sniff your hair.<br/><br/>[Stealth Check:... Failed]<br/><br/>Either the beast isn't buying your act, or it has nothing against eating dead food, as it suddenly begin to growl, and you feel the warm breath wash over you.<br/><br/>So you do the only thing left for you: Your scream at the top of your lungs and begin flailing wildly. Lucky for you, moving your arms and legs causes so much pain, that it naturally boosts your screams to max volume!<br/><br/>[Intimidation Check:... Success!]<br/><br/>You insane display seems to work, along with the fact one of your hand collides with the furry face of whatever it is standing over you. Quickly, it jumps backwards, allowing you to climb up onto your hands and knees, as the growling reaches your ears again.<br/><br/>You look up, and see a large, feral dog staring at you. It has backed up several feet, to stand in front of a second canine. They are both slightly larger than you, and the second one is laying on its side, with an engorged stomach. At first, you think it might just be pregnant with the world's largest litter, but then you see the beast's belly squirm. While the stomach hides the gender of the distant one, the dog facing you down is obviously male, as his large ball-sack and leaking member demonstrate. Apparently, it too has been drinking from the enchanted water.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, now that you're slightly more conscious, you notice that directly behind you is a small pond of the glowing water, which is the only source of light in the room. You must have been deposited into this reservoir, and perhaps drug out of the water by the dogs. But, they don't seem friendly, so you wonder why they would wait to eat you.<br/><br/>Oh, right, they're also probably going to eat you. Or rape you. Or rape you then eat you.<br/><br/>Yeah, probably that last one.<br/><br/>You quickly look for a way out, but the light of the pond doesn't extend far enough out to see the entity of whatever chamber you have ended up in. Behind you the stone walls are wet and ascend out of sight, so there is little chance of going back the way you came. In addition, the curvature of the walls you can see indicate this chamber is circular, which worries you greatly.<br/><br/>But not as much as the Dire Dogs.<br/><br/>[Awaiting Input]
