Nodding in acquiescence, Hadama stepped away from his own case of mistaken identity and followed Zavien towards another floating maybe-predator. "We have called on Rae and Vi to ward the Void from Haulani and the Arclight Ocean," he rumbled. "...Barring Starfall itself." Implicit in that exception was that not even the Big Old Gods themselves had the power to affect the Void and Family on their home turf. "And we are working to protect the Ahi Coast now. We hope that all of Torchline will soon be a safe haven." A pause as the suspicious log simply bobbed and rolled, and then Hadama stepped past the Breaker to continue their hunt. "...But the protections cannot keep the Family out."
They had to walk a little farther through the thick undergrowth before they reached a little inlet with a pair of logs laying partially atop each other at the edge of the water. "We have learned something about their weaknesses, however. And their strengths," he added, the stoic cast of his features turning solemn as he once more reached out to jab at one of logs from the distance his trident afforded him.
The wood made a hollow thunk! sound and rolled to the side, but it was lost in the large splash of the 'log' beneath it erupted into a frenzy of motion. Long, powerful jaws whipped around to clamp down on the trident's haft and it jerked hard to pull Hadama towards it. Surprised, the Tidebreaker was tugged to the water's edge before he managed to set his feet and haul back on his weapon--
And the very large allogator currently attached to its end.
