<strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>The half-celestial inhaled deeply with wide eyes as he bore his teeth in exasperation, expressing his doubts about Ermon's good faith towards the Genasi. "Come on... Mysterious Garden? Long forgotten kingdom in the clouds? That's an all-star adventure if I ever heard one."<br/><br/>He shrugged and sped off with the Ghost towards the ship. Indeed it did slow down, though it was only after awhile did they seem to notice that the two adventurers were returning. Rath sped off towards the deck ahead of Ellen. As she approached, she could see what appeared to be a cannon  poking out of an open hanger in the rear ship. It wasn't there before, and the ghost didn't even realize that such a thing existed on the ship.<br/><br/>The crew seemed eager to hear what had happened, by the time Ellen arrived, there was a crowd of the young sailors surrounding the half-celestial as he recounted their encounter in the skies. He turned to the ghost, "Seems like Ermon's still down below."<br/><br/>Rath stroked his chin as he looked out into the distance, "Here's hoping the don't decide to come back with reinforcements..."<br/><br/><strong>Leander</strong><br/><br/>The woman smiled and tossed her head back cheekily, "Modest? Oh, I believe we've gone far beyond<em>that</em>, Leander dear."<br/><br/>And so they went out into the rainforest, hoping to find a way back up. It started raining again... as it<em>always</em>did. They went along a route that was roughly parallel to the cliff face in hopes of finding a way around it when Leander saw something out of the corner of his eye. Liah saw it too, stepping cautiously behind the elf as she squinted her eyes to try and discern what it was they saw.<br/><br/>After a moment, a huge writhing snake... easily thirty feet long, slithered around a large tree and into a dense patch of foliage nearby. "Oh... ah fuck." Liah mumbled as it pointed its' head directly at the pair and a long serpentine tongue slipped out from between its' jaws.<br/><br/>A long resounding '<strong>Hsssssssssss</strong>' filled the air as it appraised the man and women before it, determining if it was going to make a meal out of them or not. It hesitated, apparently waiting for an opportunity to strike.
