Koram hauled the pair of boxes to the sea, and of course noticed the glowing runes etched on the fronts of them.
'Land dwellers,' he huffed a thought 'runes to lock something you can just pick up and carry away.'
As far as Koram was concerned, the runes guarded an empty chest (if that is in fact what the runes were doing at all). The gold inside was of no particular value to him, other than possibly being something pretty to look at. Once the chests were in several feet of water, he would leave them on the sandy ocean floor and return for the last.
Returning to the cave, Koram's head was on a swivel for any signs of life, and for perhaps the source of the rather strange and unpleasant smell. Once inside, he hefted the box and began dragging it to the water.
With the three chests reunited under the water's surface, he lashed the three of them together with a bit of rope through each handle. With the water to help him, it would take very little effort for the merfolk to move all three chests at once. The only question now is what the creature would do with the chests full of treasure. He could smash them, as he originally planned, only now the treasure would be scattered across the ocean floor instead of easily accessible on the floor of the cave.
As of yet it was an undecided for him what he was going to actually do with the chests, but whatever he decided, it would be better if he did it as far away from the cove as possible. The long and the short of it was, if the land dwellers wanted these chests back, they would have to gather their contents in the crushing blackness of the deep ocean.
Koram surfaced for just a moment longer, looking at the short one more time for anything he might have missed.

Before Koram had a chance to finish his thought, however, something odd would happen. Not only did the glowing stop, but the chests he had collected had vanished entirely from behind him. The rope remained, however, gently sinking now that they no longer hold anything in their binds.
(I need to edit this because a couple things have happened since then)
On the surface of the water, Kelly was sailing back to the island with a metaphorical skip in her step. She seemed to be blushing, and beaming with pride. In the boat was another chest, supposedly filled to the brim with gold.
Upon hitting land she dragged the chest off and pushed it into the cave with the other chests, still wet from Koram's thievery. Both she and the chest vanished from view of anyone looking one from the water's edge. after a few moments Kelly ran back to the boat to grab what looked like slices of meat wrapped in paper. She slowly made her way back to the cave and disappeared inside. The sounds of growling could be heard, followed by snapping of jaws and chewing. Kelly then came back out a few moments later, dusting her hands clean.
But she was not done just yet. Digging around in her boat she pulled traps out- bear traps that looked freshly built and polished. Digging slight trenches around the cave, she placed the traps in random locations before covering them with sand. Although not visible from above, the holes were shallow enough to harm anyone unlucky enough to step on them. After an hour of work, she was finished. With a sigh she looked at her work and wiped her footprints away before getting back into her boat and heading out.

as kelly nears the exit to the cave after setting her bear traps there is the soft whistling of a falling object which heralds an explosion of dust and gas which erupts from around the side of the cave exit, filling the cave and a large area around its exit.
not only is the dull purple fog thick enough to plunge the cave into darkness but it burns, oh how it burs. kellys skin feels as though it is on fire as the chemical formula takes effect.
the effect is worst on her eyes, the pain is such that it feels as though lightning is being bolted right through her head.
from the beach it is plain to see the large cloud covering over 30 feet out in all directions from the cave entrance, and it is spreading slowly sluggish and hardly affected by the sea breeze.
silently from the tree tops keen eyes used to peering through this effect watch patiently and on alert.
there owner wipers the incantation so that the arrow notched to the compound bow in its hand will be preposterously to miss its target [ kelly, think true strike from D&D as a spell like ability ].
should Kelly think to hold her breath and posses the iron will to hold her breath even in the grievous agony she is experiencing then ignore the following encapsulated section.
[suddenly inside the cave skeletons and tendrils of deformed flesh and scything teeth burs from the sealing and floor clawing and hacking at kelly, just as the cave begins to close around her and that terrible mist like the mouth of sum great beast. you can see nothing but the horrors through the mist] you can not not the chest not your hands due to the utter darkness the cave has been plunged into thanks to the thick smog. your thoughts are fare more clouded and uncoordinated to the situation than they should be. the pain despite being enough to send most into unconsciousness when in this concentration, does nothing to clear the clouding of your thoughts.
make sure not to step on your own traps while in your confused stat as the monsters docent seem bothered by them. PS whatever you have in there with you probably just stopped caring and is almost certainly really angry.

As Kelly was leaving the cave to her boat, she heard the whistling from above and instinctively drew her rapier. From the corner of her eye she saw the bomb coming her way. With her free hand she reached out and snatched the bomb out of the air safely. She looked at it curiously.
"What the f-" She started to say. However, the arrow would interrupt her, shooting her in the shoulder and causing her to yell in pain and reflexively toss the bomb away. She ran back into the cave, hiding behind the newer, fourth treasure chest as she proceeded to pull the arrow out and prepare for someone to enter.

All of a sudden, the sky began to glow. It was subtle at first, but quickly became brighter and brighter until it was almost blinding to be outside. If anybody looked up, they would see bright lights in the sky, growing larger and larger. It was a meteor shower, a common phenomenon on Starfall Cove. Why the stars fell from the sky on this one little island, nobody knew. It just happened, with startling regularity. This was why there were no permanent human settlements on this island. The meteors fell, whistling and screaming through the air. When they hit the ground, they glowed red-hot and shook the earth. The ones that fell in the forest started fires instantly, while the ones that landed on the beach fused the sand into glass. They peppered the island, wrecking havoc on the forest and beach. Anybody out in the open or lurking in the forest or waters would have to be very lucky indeed to avoid being killed or seriously injured. |

Koram was just about to begin sorting out the treachery the land dwellers had used to make the chests disappear when he saw the bright beaming light in the sky. The first flaming ball of white-hot fire slammed into the island, and Koram immediately dove under the water's surface for what protection it would provide.
Luckily, the merfolk was already in reasonably deep water, and moving quickly to the bottom he cut a fast line to deeper water. The meteors began crashing into the sea randomly, and undoubtedly into the forest of the island. Koram swam hard, his tentacles and webbed hands pushing at the water around him as he cruised along the bottom to the relative safety of progressively lower depths.

and upon seeing the glow start in the sky she makes use of here preparations.
[as mentioned in an earlier post Nnix and here followers have been utilizing a river running from the jungle to the water. Nnix and here tribe are raiders of main lander ships and of the tribes of other islands. as such they are trained literally since infancy [hence why there tribe is relatively small] to breath deep for long concealed swims. with the silence and skill of a trained infiltrator and assassin Nnix launches herself from here palm grove. she fills here lungs with air and turns here leap into a dive, breaking the surface of the water with hardly a ripple above a particularly deep ravine. she pulls herself underneath a rock shelf 2 meters beneath the surface.

At the time of the star fall, Kelly had worked her way inside the cave, swiftly diving behind the giant chest on the left side of the cave entrance. Due to being in cover, all she would see and hear is the bright explosion that lit up the night sky. She looked down at her arm and saw the arrow embedded in her flesh. Poisoned, barbed, and possibly filthy.
"Great, another Tuesday for me..." She muttered to herself sarcastically. Putting away the rapier, she grasped the arrow's shaft tightly and pulled with all her might, ripping the arrow from her arm with a loud yelp of pain. Tossing the arrow to the side, she pulled a potion from her belt, still weary from the intensity of her arm, and downed it as quickly as she could.
With the empty bottle tossed aside, she crawled on three limbs over to the chest in the back and pushed it open before dipping her hand inside. Kelly pulled out a crossbow, along with some bolts, and shifted backwards rapidly until she was behind the cover of the left chest again, leaving behind a trail of blood as she went.

Nnix is in waiting. watching the sizling rocks shoot into the water like bullets then slow and settle to the riverbed in a stream of bubbles.. she waits for this to end, to return to the palm grove she had jumped from. it still contained here more devious equipment including the remaining gas bombs
[waiting for post from Strangers and Travelers ]

Kelly waited as well, her eyes on the patch of jungle the arrow had come from. As she did so, her wounds began to heal at an alarming rate, stitching up nicely until no sign of the arrow had shown.
She reached down again to her belt and grabbed another potion, new strength found after recovering from the pain. With a quick sip, she put the potion back on her belt, half full, and kept her hand on her rapier's hilt, her eyes still focused on the outside of the cave...looking for anything that may move but remaining out of sight.

The forest was ablaze, lit by the burning stones that fell from the sky. Parrots and monkeys fled from their trees, flying away or running along the ground. Nnix would find her protective palm grove engulfed in flames, a smoldering crater at the center. Meanwhile, if Kelly looked out of the cave, she would see that a meteorite had fallen on the front of her ship, punching a hole in the bow.

with the impact on the palm grove [which as a prerequisite for committing acts of archery is right on the forests edge] is crushed by a blazing meteor there is a colossal explosion of multicolored gases and oils, lying between the two opponents the entire area is blanketed in flaming chemicals and toxic gases, as the great deal of nastiness Nnix had prepared is set off all at once.the surface of the river is covered in fires and a wretched cloud rolls over the beachfront as the flying boulder scatters the materials with stupendous force.
as Nnix gazes at the cloud stretching its way across the small amount of sky she can see from underneath here underwater ledge she has a bit of a giggle.

Being inside the cave kept her safe, but she knew she couldn't leave without being attacked. Whoever it was that shot her did so from cover, and could probably see through the gas. Was it the sahagin? Must've been, they're the only race in the area and her talk with the one from before hinted they wouldn't let her stay on this island.
A shame, too. SHe enjoyed the property. It was always sunny and nice, and the beach was tranquil. The island wasn't too far from Isra, an easy sail. She had hoped to take Bella one day, should things ever kick off....
She sighed, knowing that wouldn't happen. She would either die being sniped by fish monsters or stranded because of the boat's broken bow. The barbs from the arrow had pushed their way out of their skin thanks to the potion she drank. Kelly contemplated her next move, as it was obvious the sahagin wouldn't make his first....

Strangers and TravelersCan we get a ruling on this? How far away is the jungle from the cave? Nnix believes the gases from the explosion would've worked their way into my cave entrance.

Attracted by the low booming of heavy impacts, Elzzeth approaches the island from below the waves. Sound carries fast and far in the water, especially low-frequency sound such as large objects hitting the surface and explosions. While not a “true dragon” as land-bound sages would categorize things, the massive sea serpent shared their appreciation for the finer things in life, including treasures. And falling stars offered some of the more interesting objects he might add to the hoard, even if they were only iron from the sky and not something more exotic.
Low in the water, with countershading to blend in, the massive predator can get surprisingly close to the island without being seen. He raises his head partly above the water to scan the shore. Unusual. Purple smoke wasn’t exactly common after a starfall. Surely something interesting was going on in the cove. Ever on the alert for trouble, the Elzzeth silently swims up to the beach.

Koram was keen on leaving the cove, at least for the time being. Not seeing a sign of the land dwellers ((OOC: Seeing or not seeing Kelly still pending what we're doing about the unlikely time weirdness?)), and the dangers of the meteor shower gave him little reason to stick around.
Pushing on quickly into deeper water, Koram would depart before he found himself on the receiving end of a falling star,

still waiting for the meteors to cease falling.

The dramatic starfall left much of the local sea life dead or injured, and more than a little of the rest stunned. A few smashed by direct impact, but more struck by the shockwave or thrown onto the shores to suffocate or be burned by the raging fires. Like almost all predators, Elzzeth knew better than to turn his nose up at a free meal. He snapped up a a few bite-sized morsels in passing as he slipped into the lagoon.
Sliding up onto the beach, the sea serpent looked around, trying to work out what was going on. The smoking craters and fires were easily explained, but the strange smoke didn’t make as much sense. Probably connected to the nearby ship in some way. But it was listing hard and the lack of activity responding to the hole in her bow implied there was no living crew on board.
The smoke seemed to be dispersing from a crater over by the cave near the edge of the beach. Whatever interesting thing was going on here would probably be found in that direction. With no more hesitation than that, Elzzeth slid across the sand in that direction.
