Isla's voice seemed to echo strangely through the geyser field, making both distance and direction difficult to determine. The good news was that both Hadama and Andromeda would be able to hear her, and the Tidebreaker raised his own deep voice to help her orient towards them. The bad news was that they weren't the only ones that heard her.
Though perhaps 'hear' was the wrong word when she so obligingly stepped towards the Void River Star and its tendrils whipped out towards her, attempting to snare her ankles. There was something to be said for having lived (and died and lived again) through so much; the Ancient's reflexes were on point, and the tendrils missed her cleanly.
This time.
As forAndromeda and Hadama, the mermaid's bag was only half-full and that was what saved her. As the localized storm finished gathering and unleashed its first bolt of lightning, she was already moving to rejoin her king, faster due to carrying a lighter bag. The lightning missed her completely, dissipating in the shallow waters of the Road with little more than an unpleasant tingle. Hadama's brow furrowed in concentration as he bent his own Stormcall magic against that of the enshadowed delphinids, and as one surfaced nearby a second finger of lightning lashed down to strike it before it could dodge. The second delphinid fled, its fearful clicking sounding somehow ominous as it dove beneath the waves and escaped.
The Tidebreaker watched it go and then looked inland, trying to see through the mists. "Isla?" He called again, louder this time as he scanned the rainbow geyser field's obscuring clouds for their third.
Isla and Andy successfully dodged, and Hadama succeeded at his attack!
Round 3:
Isla's bag is 1/3rd full and she has found a hungry Void River Star!
Andy's bag is half-full and she is unhurt.
Hadama's bag is 1/3rd full and the last enshadowed delphinid has retreated.
What will you do?
Void River Star (uncommon - Greatwood, King's End, Oerwoud, Torchline): The carnivorous River Stars, tainted by void energy, have become even more sinister. Their once vibrant appearance has faded into shades of deep black and purple. Now, instead of waiting for prey to step onto their centers, they actively seek out creatures, using void-infused tendrils to ensnare and drain the life force from their victims.
