You see something out there?"</strong>Almost by instinct her long sword was in her hand, the shiny metal tip pointed up in front of her as her other hand summoned a simple shield spell.<br/><br/>Sierra rushed up to the front of the group to see what needed to be done, but as Faelyn instructed them that nothing was wrong after all, the knight let her guard down again, looking perhaps a bit relieved.  She shook her head, an annoyed little grin on her pink lips.<strong>"Damn..are all citizens of Gemhel so jumpy?"</strong>She rolled her eyes thinking that the danger was over. However, just as she was about to sheath her weapon again, she saw it..some sort of massive slender object squirming out of the waters of the swamp.  Her eyes went wide in surprise before she reacted.  She initially threw the shield spell that she had prepared around them all.  The spell was quite weak in nature and would only have been able to hold off a few hits...but at least it was a start.  Pointing her sword back up to the monster and causing her barely clothed breasts to jiggle rather obviously on her bare chest, Sierra yelled to them all.<strong>"On guard! Looks like we are in trouble after all!"</strong>
