The figure on the great fish's back jerked to the side as Dave fired, before quickly righting himself; it was tough to tell if he'd missed or if his target just wasn't hurt badly.<br/><br/>As the two dunkleostei approached, Dave could get a clearer view of the rider; he looked much like a man, but his skin was covered in a mottled hide like that of a crocodile, and he had a long tail to match.  He was shirtless, and brandished a long, jagged-looking sword seemingly carved of bone.  If he was wounded, it didn't show.<br/><br/>The fish he was riding swooped toward Dave, trying unsuccessfully to take a bite of the demigod, and the foul-looking Scion leapt off the monster as it passed, a crazed grin on his hideous face as he swam towards Dave.  The second dunkleosteus had to veer off, unable to find a good angle of attack, but the many smaller creatures surged toward the ensuing conflict.<br/><br/>(Tick 16: Dave<br/>Tick 18: Crazed Scion<br/>Tick 20: Dunkleostei #1 and #2)
