It soon became apparent that Lyla had not been sculpted with clothes, if indeed she had been sculpted at all. Still, Kelly was soon able to get her free from the cave wall. Once free, she stood in the small chamber that Kelly had blasted out, admiring her body and limbs that had until recently been entombed in granite. "I'm a star! At least...I think so. It's been an awfully long time since I came here, I don't really remember much at all. In fact, the only thing I really remember is my talking to my other friend and meeting you. Look at this, though! I have arms and legs! Hey, that reminds me...why were you so small earlier?"

Kelly seemed surprised as she helped Lyla to her feet but eventually calmed down.
"It was a potion. Shrinks the drinker down for a few hours. I use it to sneak into places I shouldn't be but I was worried I'd be crushed if it wore off in here. I don't know if it works on statues, though..."
Kelly began to lead her to the edge of the cave so that the afternoon sun could be seen. She stretched a little, now able to move unconfined again.

Lyla followed the thief out the newly-widened tunnel to the sunlight, blinking and looking around in surprise. She stepped out of the cave, walking down the beach.
"Wow...it's so bright! I never knew there was so much light anywhere...I've never seen anything brighter than that torch you brought in. I never imagined this was what the outside was like! What are those? Are those birds?"
The parrots squawked at her and flew away, and she laughed.
"This is amazing! Thank you, Kelly!"

She nodded.
"Glad I could help. What do you intend to do now that you're free though?"

Lyla shrugged, clutching her cracked arm close. It seemed to be causing her some pain.
"I don't know...There isn't anyone else I know up here. I've never seen anything on the surface before...can I follow you? I've always wanted to explore! The surface is so big, and there's so much stuff I've never seen. Maybe I could get my arm fixed, too..."
She walked along the water, feet sinking into the wet sand.

"I wouldn't mind the company, but I'm not much of an explorer. Tell you what- let's get that arm of yours fixed up and you can decide what to do after that. The guy I know is in a country nearby. I'll take you."
Kelly grabbed a sack of gold from one of the chests before leading Lyla to her boat, helping her get on.

The wooden deck of the boat creaked under Lyla's heavy marble feet, but still managed to hold.
"How do you fix an arm? I've never been injured before, so I wouldn't know...do you think it will break?"
She cradled her arm close, trying to avoid moving it. The crack seemed to be getting worse as she moved around, and marble dust fell to the ground. Lyla winced, clearly in pain.
"How far away is it? There's nothing really on the island...that's what my other friend told me, anyway. It's all just parrots and coconuts here. He brought a coconut to show me, you know. They're awfully strange-looking."

"Yeah, coconuts are a bit odd..." She said with a chuckle. Eventually she set sail, heading for the mainland.
"We're only about a half hour away so we'll be there soon. Let's get you fixed up when we arrive, like I said I know a guy who might be able to repair that arm of yours."
And with that, the two new friends sailed towards the main continent as the sun set nearby.

quietly amongst the chittering and squabbles of wildlife an upturned canoe with kelp and reeds entangled in its catches and rudder, drifts into a wild cove. no signs of rot can be seen in the boards that make up its frame. clearly it was not constructed from local timber, but of whatever grows in the populous mainland.

A hulking brute of a sea creature emerges from the sea, its top half protruding from the water as it pushes itself along with its unseen lower half in the shallows of Starfall Cove. Koram's head is on a swivel as he moves further up the shallows, looking for the land dweller, or perhaps land dwellers, that he knew were there. How did he know? He'd heard them. For more than half an hour Kelly (now come and gone) had set off explosions on the island to clear a tunnel to a fallen star. These explosions maybe wouldn't have been heard for very far in the air, but under water they could be heard for miles and miles beyond the cove. Explosions in the sea, where there should be no land dwellers. This drew the attention, and then the ire of an Aldean faithful, and he was now here to see what fresh hell the land dwellers were spilling into his Mother's oceans. Koram soon laid eyes on the small canoe; not only was it out of place, but any creature meant to be in the cove wouldn't need a boat. No sooner had he laid eyes on the craft than two slimy, muscular tentacles burst from the water and wrapped around the wooden hull, squeezing it as the canoe was pulled under in an attempt to destroy the boat.

insert code here the canoe is of military grade and is not destroyed as the powerful muscles pull it beneath the surfece of the shallows though depending on there strength it may not be long.
as the tendrils wrap around the boat the tail of a sea scorpion an eurypterid punches out between the boards its stinger diving into the flesh of the tentacles destroying the craft in which it had been resting
the stench of decaying mammal spreads through the water like an intoxicating virus

The tail punching through the boards of the boat might itself have been enough to weaken the boat to the point of fracture, but the stabbing pain made the muscle in Koram's tentacle contract and shatter the boat into splinters under the water. The foul odor in the water made Koram swim back a bit into slightly deeper water after pulling his tentacles back. He bared his teeth, his gaze once again scanning the shore line. He could see nothing for the time being, but whatever had stabbed him was in the water now.
Koram continued to move back into deeper water until he could duck under the surface, looking for whatever creature had punctured his tentacle.

tearing itself free from the mutilated remains of a humane corps which had begun to rise from the crushed boat is the eurypterid which had apparently been lying coiled in the corpses stomach. it's 4th leg on its left side had been torn free by the boats splintering timbers, and it not scuttles along the sea floor. through the turquoise haze of the water you can see its' body measures about 1 foot wide and 2 feet long. it poses a 2 foot tail with a half foot stinger, still leaking toxic flem

Seeing his 'opponent', a small sea bug crawling along the sandy floor of the ocean, Koram is angered; more at himself than anything. The sharp, burning pain of the bug's caustic venom in his tentacle would quickly dull into a throbbing ache as his body worked to close the blood vessels at the end of the damaged limb. Within a few moments the damaged portion of the tentacle would fall off, and Koram would coil the remaining portion of the tendril under himself.
Koram used his tentacles much like a squid would under the water, pushing himself back further still in a quick lunge, away from the bug. At the end of his lunge, the Merfolk jabbed the bottom of his spear into the sand of the ocean's floor, which pushed a small wave of sand and water towards the bug. At most, it would flip the bug over in the water and cover it in sand, more of a warning shot than anything as Koram was here to find bugs of an entirely different sort.

as the roiling mound of silicon sweeps the chitinous creature off of its feet, it flits its legs in the water propelling itself towards the surf of the shore. it swims clumsily for several yards through the roiling undertow sent forth by the tentacles. it settles just outside the zone of upturned and rapidly collapsing silt. sit breaks the surface of the water now aiming for the beach.

With the bug away, at least for the moment, Koram surfaced once more. From the center of the cove the keen-eyed merfolk observed the shore and beyond, looking for signs of the land dwelling fungus he'd heard in the water several hours before hand. It wasn't long before he spotted a sign, crudely nailed into the rock; 'Property of Kelly'.
'Leave it to land dwellers to claim this tiny spec in the middle of a vast ocean.' he thought to himself as he moved towards the shoreline.
Once on land, the tentacles that propelled Koram morphed into the legs that one might expect to see on the lower half of a sea creature; pale blue/green skin stretched over muscular features, with webbed and clawed feet. The merfolk would quickly find the drag marks and footprints left by Kelly and her companion, not more than a day old. With them, Koram would also find prints far more familiar, that of a fellow merfolk. The tracks were far too numerous and muddled for Koram to discern with any level of certainty if any of the beings in question were still on the island, so he began to walk up the sandy shore, headed to the cave Kelly had marked as her own.

upon clearing his head of the water, Siclak would find there was any Ora of confusion in the air around him. not the cacophony of the jungle nor reflections and refraction from the water, no there was something unusual, annoyingly difficult to place. upon properly draining his nostrils it would become fully realized. the smell, it was not that of brine, nor fungus, or even of the rotting remains of the man who one occupied the canoe and was in turn occupied by the eurypterid. it was a miasma of intermingling unfamiliarity's. they are not cleared by the sea breeze nor are they brought in by them, enstead they drift to shore from somewhere within the jungle

Koram would notice the odd smell, but was not quite able to place it as he was not entirely accustomed to the sights and smells above water.
Entering the small cave, the merfolk would find Kelly's three chests, and beyond that, the rubble created by the explosions that had attracted him to the cove in the first place. The chests were locked, but shaking one revealed that they were likely full of treasure that this Kelly land dweller had no doubt come by through dishonest means. Koram thought of smashing the chests and scattering the gold around the cave, but then the land dweller need only gather it again and put it in more chests; a minor inconvenience at best. No, he decided, he would drag the chests to the sea and deny the land dweller their ill-gotten treasure entirely.
Koram lashed his heavy spear to his back, and grabbed the handle on the short end of two of the chests. A chest in each hand, he began to drag them towards the beach and to the ocean, planning to come back for the third and final container. The land dweller, or land dwellers, that laid claim to the treasure and to the cave may not have been present as he'd hoped, but Koram was certainly not going to reward their treachery by leaving their claim untouched.

from within the treetops invisible eyes watched the creature. they take note of its direction as it dags its burdens out of the cave and across the beach. several yards inland something slips silently into one of the streams that travels from the jungle to the waters of the cove.

(NOT ON MY WATCH, FLIPPER!) Dragging the chests to the water was no problem other than the weight of gold inside. The moment they touched water, however, Koram would notice something odd about the chests- the paint. Around the opening the blue and gold pain began to dissipate into the water, revealing runes etched into the wood and metal. They began to glow slightly, as if it was attempting to gain attention....
