The lizard tore at the flesh of the prey, which had stopped flopping around now it had opened its belly and eaten the soft organs. Then its sense became aware that more of the same prey was approaching from different directions on the beach and it raised up it’s head its tongue flickering to gain their smell.<br/><br/>As Hoshiko, Deinos, Tavia and Lairee approached the site of the screaming man they could see each other. At least they now knew that others had survived. Alas the person they had come to save had not. There was a spreading pool of blood around the unmoving body, the lizard although had stopped feeding and was by the body with its head raised sensing the air with its flickering tongue.<br/><br/>Although as they closed in they began to notice that there was something odd about the lizard, around the neck there was a what looked like a leather collar. Attached to the collar and trailing down to the floor was a length of rope, the end of which was jagged as if it had been snapped.<br/><br/>Slightly down the beach Morgan moved amongst the bodies, sea birds rising in squawking protest as she drove them away to loot the bodies.  Some of the bodies where badly torn and damaged but she was used to the carnage of battle and her hands where steady as she checked each body.<br/><br/>As she moved from body to body she examined the flotsam littering the beach.  Her endeavors produced a small collection of rings, coins and earrings along with some useful rope and a section of sail that could make a makeshift sunshade.<br/>
