He was in the soupy sand to mid-thigh and his knee on his other leg now, but since the rats hadn't shown up yet Tal wasn't in any hurry to extricate himself. He still had his arms free, his dragon, and access to his Bag of Holding, so there really wasn't any reason to panic.
He noted that Jude wasn't prone to panicking either with a little pleased surprise and he actually grinned a little as Boreal delivered the rope safely into the kid's hands.
He had his own ideas about how to get out of the goop, but Soh was the leader of their little expedition and he waited to see what she had to say first. Her plan was a solid one and he nodded agreement. "That's what we'd do if it was just us," he confirmed. "No point waitin', I guess."
So saying, he reached into his Bag and took out his own rope. He tied one end around his waist and tossed the other up to his waiting dragon, who flew over to a sturdier tree a short distance away. She trotted around it twice to anchor it and then set all four feet into the muck, teeth clamped on the end of the rope as Tal began the laborious process of muscling his legs free of their mucky prison so he could begin the dragging slog to dry ground.
Tal gets his own rope out and attempts to free himself with Boreal's help while Soh helps Jude!
