Kelly continued to wait, eyes on the horizon. The moment the gas vanished and she caught a glimpse of the sahagin she would unleash her newest weapon. All she knew was as long as that creature was out there, she wouldn't be able to leave the cave. Of course, it could've also gotten board and swam off, but considering her interactions with the last sa-
"HOLY SHIT IS THAT A DRAGON?!" She screamed, frantically backing away as the massive sea serpent worked her way towards the cave. She immediately aimed her crossbow at the beast but didn't fire just yet. Maybe if she worked deeper into the cave it wouldn't follow....

unable to see the danger of the newly arrived serpent, and not wanting to hold herself below the rivers surface anyway [ the accumulating powder on the waters surface would begin to sink soon anyways, so here safety wouldn't last long in that regard either ] Nnix began to pull herself rapidly along the river bead using the current as an aid and guide to bring here far enough out into the cove to be beyond the range of the explosion.

Nictitating membranes reflexively slid over Elzzeth’s sea-green eyes as he approached the strange cloud. The harsh tang of chemicals in the air brought a contemptuous snort from the great beast. All of the most dangerous poisons came from the sea, after all. For every venom or poison found in land-bound creatures, the sea offered something similar but far more potent. Elzzeth payed no more heed to blowfish and blue rings than a land-bound dragon paid to wasps and spiders. Uninteresting was the only thought he had in response to the cloud.
The sound of @banditkelly screaming from inside the cave, though, that caught his attention. He carefully poked his head into the cave entrance, blinking as his eyes adjusted to to the darkness after the bright sunlight outside. Some small thing was shouting in the tongue of men. Elzzeth’s common was rusty from long years of disuse, but he did catch the word they used for grand and magnificent beings such as himself. That was good.
He tilted his head, peering into the darkness curiously. A low cough cleared his throat, then he addressed the thing in the best of its savage language that he could recall. “Grrrr… greet, little one. Come for collect fall star, you? Come for see…” He stopped short, struggling to remember the word. “Come for see beautiful ocean, you?”

Kelly was ignorant to the cove's notorious falling star problem. She just wanted a place to keep her treasure safely. Because of the recent ambush, however, and a sea serpent walking onto land, she's reconsidering that fact.
"The...The ocean? Uh...y-yes, yes the beautiful ocean, yes." She said, still terrified but playing along so as to not die, "Sailed here on my boat. I guess the shooting stars are prettier from far away...."
She let out an awkward chuckle, gesturing the explosions outside.

upon hitting the ocean waters Nnix begins emitting a series of dull clicking sounds calling for her eurypterid, dashing from its hiding beneath the rocks of the sea bed. she grabs hold of it and directs it to deeper water.

Elzzeth focused on the words, trying to remember what they meant in a proper tongue. These savages almost never bothered to learn a true language, relying mostly on horrible little grunts and screeches to get their point across. It was exhausting at the best of times. Ocean, yes, yes, ocean, yes. The sea serpent narrows its eyes at @banditkelly , considering whether the little land-beast was babbling in terror or actually making some kind of sense.
Boat. Star. Far away. Maybe the thing was communicating actual meaning after all. Complaining about the hole in its ship, probably. In Elzzith’s experience, these things were forever complaining about holes in their ships. He couldn’t understand why they didn’t just learn how to swim. Unless the poor things were cursed by their horrible land-gods, and those floating bits of wood were their desperate attempts to return to mother-sea. He shuddered slightly at the thought.
“Swim to bottom, boat. Swim to… swim to home, you? Bring star, you?” The little thing couldn’t carry much away, that was clear. And it had gotten here first. If it wanted to claim all the fallen stars, he would challenge for treasure-rights. But Elzzeth was in a generous mood today, and the fresh seafood outside would almost certainly make a better meal than the mewling land-beast here.

Kelly mused to herself how despite dragons thinking they were the greatest thing in existence and pride themselves on being superior to humans, they had such difficulty learning the common language. It's almost as if they refuse to evolve. The dragon probably sees it as not wanting to reduce itself to the level of "filthy apes" but to Kelly, it was like speaking to a 2-year-old.
"Swim home...yes! Yes please!" Kelly said the moment the dragon offered. She got up and walked over to one of the chests, opening it wide to show the thousands of gold pieces filling it up.
"Here! I offer tribute for safe passage!"
wait, does it know what those words are?
"Treasure! Treasurefor swim!"
Dragons still like shiny objects, hopefully.

Well, it seemed that Elzzeth had said something to excite the little thing. The land tongue was starting to come back a bit more as the big serpent knocked a bit of the rust off. Maybe he should keep one of these around to practice on, just in case it was important some day to communicate with the little monsters. Then it opened the chest and said some several of the more important words in any language. Tribute. Treasure. Wait… treasure for swim? Was it offering some sort of deal? And not claiming any of the fallen stars at all?
No, of course. It couldn’t swim. And its boat had been stove in by a meteorite, now taking on water and soon to sink to the bottom. It was stranded here, in the very place it had hidden its hoard. Safe from the land-dwellers out here, and few enough in the sea would come up and find it. Maybe it was a clever little thing, after all. Unlucky, but clever.
Elzzeth considered this for a long moment, trying to dredge up the words. “Is called Elzzeth, me. Swim you to home for treasure, me. Close… small is treasure. Far, many is treasure. Is where, home?”

"Isra." Kelly said, pointing in the direction of the mainlands. "An hour away, not far. And I am Kelly."
Kelly bowed awkwardly, not sure as to show proper respect to something three times the size of the ship she sailed in on.
"All I want is to get home with some of my treasure. The rest is yours. Will you accept?"

“Izzzra…” The serpent rumbled to itself when @banditkelly named her destination. The land-things had set up a new hive recently, rapidly swelling to a large enough size that even Elzzeth had heard of the place. It probably bore watching, really, and the Kelly-creature said that it was not far.
He rumbled thoughtfully for a moment, then snorted and glared at Kelly with one sea-green eye. “Accepted, this pact. If trap, this…” Elzzeth slides deeper into the cave, pulling his lips back from the massive teeth and letting the threat hang in the air between them.
Once sure that he’d gotten the point across, he opened his mouth wide and slid deeper into the cave. His long tongue snaked out to wrap around the chest and pull it into the beast’s maw to be swallowed whole. The sea serpent wasn’t a leviathan to swallow ships whole and keep the crew alive inside for weeks, but he could easily hold a few chests safe and dry while he transported them from one place to another.
That settled, he backs up some and rests his chin on the floor of the cave. “Hold to horn, you. Direct to… direct to Izzra, you.”

Kelly hesitantly walked up to Elzzeth's mouth, grabbing the horns and climbing onto his back. Kelly began to remember the first time she met a dragon- back when she was twelve, living in a small town with two farmer parents who cared for her. That all changed when a massive red dragon flew by, burning the countryside to cinder and turning her home to ash. Back then she saw dragons as a literal force of destruction.
Now, she was riding one like a horse. Kelly got comfortable on top of Elzzeth. She patted some of the fur going down his spine.
"Has anyone told you your scales are gorgeous?" She asked as she got adjusted. She looked to the remaining three chests and decided she would have to come back later with some guards to recover her fortune. For now, returning to the city was in her best interest and her new trap should keep the remaining treasure safe.
"Ready when you are." She called down to Elzzeth.

it is some distance out into the water before Nnix feels safe enough to rise to the surface. she gapes at what she sees. Not only did a star fall occur at just the wrong moment, but now a sea serpent has apparently slithered its way up the beach apparently unharmed by the spreading fumes which cover it. and if this was not the most unlikely pair of coincidences which could occur within such a short space of time, it seems that this one knows, or is at least very friendly towards kelly, as she is now riding the great creature. but it is not this which makes Nnix gape, no, it is the fact that kelly has apparently gained the ability to ignore any neurological reactions one would expect to face while striding onto the back of a serpent through a cloud of toxic drug filled death. and of cource it couldn't be a controlled or precise explosion ohh no. it had to be the entirety of the stockpile Nnix had on the island when that great damed meteorite had crashed directly onto it...in short, this was not her day
ps kelly the dm backup ya got said the damage to your boat was superficial and nothing serious.

Nnix decides that if the serpent decides to go after here there wouldn't be much chance of escape and so the rest of here attention should probably be directed at making sure she isnt ambushed by that big ol fish guy.

Elzzeth did not, in fact, leave three chests there in the cave. One after the other, he swallowed the whole lot. The deal was home with the treasure, and Elzzeth held such things sacred. Of course, he intended to keep his share, and how much that share came out to be depended entirely upon how the trip went. That was also part of the deal.
He rumbled softly, well… softly for a massive sea serpent, that is. @kellybandit could feel the vibrations of his voice deep in her bones as she sat astride his neck. “Gorgeous? Means what, this word?” He backed out of the cave and slithered across the beach as he spoke, slipping smoothly into the sea. He held his head above the water, but Kelly would get the occasional splash regardless. There simply was no way to stay completely dry when riding a sea serpent in the ocean.

As Elzzeth began swallowing the chests, one of them began to squirm as Elzzeth's mouth got closer to it before Kelly began to coo and tell the treasure chest everything will be alright. As Elzzeth moved out of the cave, she held her breath and closed her eyes to avoid the toxic gasses from the bomb explosions that were slowly dissipating. Once in the water, she tried to answer Elzzeth's question.
"Gorgeous? Um....pretty....nice to look at. Shiny?" She said, hoping the serpent understood.

"Shiny. Pretty. Know these words, me." A satisfied rumble sounds from Elzzeth's throat. It was good to hear that the land-thing was clever enough to recognize true beauty when it saw it. The Kelly-thing had showed appropriate fear and awe during the whole of their interactions as well. Some complained that the old ways were dying, but Elzzeth had proof here that they still lived yet.
"Most beautiful of serpents, Elzzeth. Like the sea." Smooth, powerful undulations of the serpentine body drove them quickly through the water as he spoke. "Clever land-thing, you. What is called, Kelly's kind?"

"Human. Kelly is human." She responded, holding on as Elzzeth rode out into the ocean.
