#71760, "Srathil's Role Chapter 3"

RoleChapter 3 A nightmare to remember. Added Mon Jun 28 02:04:48 2021 at level 25:Srathil awoke suddenly, clutching the tainted wound at his side, his breathing labored and heavy. A vision in his sleep of a terrible creature in the marsh - a maw with a thousand gnashing teeth. He stood at the ready, a spear clutched in his hand prepared to defend himself from whatever this beast was.
He had been exploring the marshes of his former home in Ysigrath - harvesting marshweed and looking for signs of game. It was a relatively normal day, as far as the marshes go. Nothing seemed out of place or odd about his surroundings and so he wasn't feeling particularly cautious or on edge as he went about his tasks. He was collecting sprigs of the plain green marshweed, a cure for poison in the swamps of his home - but easily confused with other varieties that were not so beneficial. So engrossed was he in his task that he failed to see the movement in the waters of the marsh behind him. Bubbles broaching the surface at first, and then ripples as something slid silently through the water behind him.
Srathil tucked a few sprigs of the plain green marshweed into his belt-pouch and whipped about on his heels as an enormous creature broached the surface. A maw with a thousand teeth gnashing, is all that Srathil could recognize of the beast, it's bulks obscured by the waters of the marsh. Srathil barely had time to ready his spear to defend himself. The scent of the swamp had turned foul, rot and decay and death hung thick on the air of the marsh. Srathil muttered to himself 'Weh.' This was no natural inhabitant of these swamps, he had never seen it's like before.
The ravenous maw lurched forward, gnashing it's teeth and spittle flying from it's moving jaws. Drops of the substance landed on reeds and peat around Srathil and in his periphery he noticed where they landed, the life began to wither immediately. This was indeed a dangerous foe, and Srathil wondered if he dared to face it, or flee in response to the imminent threat. He supposed he did not have much of a choice in the matter.
He lunged at the beast, his spear dancing into the creature's horrible maw. A loud crunch reverberates through the swamp as the beasts jaws clamp down around the spear and Srathil is left holding only a short haft of wood. He bounded backwards from the beasts jaws as the creature advanced in one fluid moment. He stumbles on a submerged root, and tumbled backwards, catching himself with his hands in the muck. The maw of the beast opens again, and a whiplike tongue springs forth a mouthlike appendage with sharp teeth encircling it's opening latches on to Srathil's side and pulses with a discernable hunger on the inflicted wound.
Srathil awakens and out of the corner of his eye he glimpses a black owl flit off into the night sky from his cabin window.
