“The Camp, or our camp?” the elf smiles mischievously. “The Camp is the glade in the centre of the forest, half a day’s journey from here. Our camp is closer, nothing more than a brisk stroll. Let us return to the main group and then we can head back,” with that the two elves set off back towards their kin and you follow, with Daria lugging the damaged chest with all its contents.<br/>When you get there you find one of the humans standing, a look of shock on his face as he tries to absorb his new situation as the elves explain it to him. He barely acknowledges your presence, arms clenched around his scrawny, naked chest despite the sun’s glare. Dressed in nothing but a wet loincloth he looks a sorry sight, but he is uninjured, but there is no telling how long it will take him to recover. Exhausted from his swim to the land the other human lies motionless on the beach. To protect his skin the elves have covered his whole body in sand, and one kneels next to him holding a shield over his head to offer some shade.<br/>“We will leave as soon as the two humans are rested,” an elf in a chain shirt whose almost colourless hair is tied back with a matted leather thong says out loud to know one in particular. Suddenly you hear a shout of “Three more!” coming from above and you look up to see an elf who has climbed one of the lone standing trees, pointing into the water a good distance away from the shore. You follow his arm and are pretty sure you can see the vague disturbances of people swimming desperately in the sea.<br/>Then a large grey triangle slips out of the water. All else freezes and time seems to slow as more and more of the Megalodon is revealed, until finally enough of its snout and jaw is above water to show a line of six teeth. Then the spell breaks and time makes up for it previous hesitation. With blinding speed the great beast of hunger and the depths snaps its maw whilst writhing violently, turning the water white, then red. “Arahan,” swears the lookout softly, “They were 200ft from the safety of the shallow water,”
