<span style="font-weight: bold">Shawled Mermaid</span><br/><br/>The mermaid’s eyes barely have time to widen as Aethon casually bounds from the deck of the Swiftwind, a few cantered steps bringing his widening mouth to her bobbing head, his teeth scraping her roughly as he pops it whole between his jaws, gripping her slippery-wet body as he begins to swallow.<br/><br/>As he does so, bereft of her beauteous presence, those sailors who haven’t yet leapt from the Swiftwind’s deck recover their senses… at least enough not to leap into the waves immediately...<br/><br/>One thing is certain - she tastes delicious, sweet as salted caramel and promising to be just a smooth going down…<br/><br/>...save for her obvious, overpowering desire to escape… but she’s a pleasantly wriggly mouthful, rubbing her flavour across your tongue as she writhes and tries to free herself [escape attempt, ‘escape artist +24, result 33 - sorry, can’t remember if that beats Aethon’s CMD. If it does, she manages to escape, and Aethon will have to make a DC23 will save against her beauty…]<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Jules and Xarces</span><br/><br/>There’s little opportunity for witty repartee - Xarces leap-and-cleave virtually bisects the mermaid, leaving a very startled Jules as Xarces’s jump sends him plunging beneath the waves.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Adrastia</span><br/><br/>You were out of turn… no problem though! Since the target of that spell is deceased, I’ll switch it over to being on the Shawl-Mermaid (assuming she escapes Aethon’s lips…) Or of course you can change it if you wish!
