Sea monster attack!

[kore_npc]

Who: The kidnappees, rescuers, and whoever wants to wait on the beach with towels. See here for an explanation.
When: Afternoon Day 102
Where: The beach
What: The device holding the sea monster at bay has been without power for two days, and now he's... lonely. Or angry. Angry and lonely. But now he's kidnapped some new friends!

The network has been spotty, cutting in and out for a couple days now, but luckily for everyone currently in the monster's grasp, Stane happens to be standing in the middle of a decent signal area.

"The sea monster is taking people! Hurry!"

Jo is prepared to abandon her blade and leave it jammed into the monster's tentacle when she sees Shiala drop beneath the surface of the water, intending to dive under and grabs ahold of her if she can, but just before she takes the plunge, she sees Shiala come up for air and gives a nod of approval, reclaiming her knife and taking another stab.

"You okay?!" she calls out, hoping their damsel in distress didn't end up with a lungfull of water.

Dean reaches Shiala just in time for her to already have come back up to the surface, and Dean punches a tentacle out of the way as it draws nearer to them.

He wants to hear what Shiala has to say about how she's feeling, but that tentacle he punched comes back, angry, and swipes Dean. He goes under for a few seconds, but is able to come back up again, shaking water out of his eyes.

He doesn't realize he's been hit with the toxin yet, but he'll figure it out soon.

"We need... get away..." Rat pants, treading water briefly, then he clutches at the clothes or whatever else he can catch of whoever's nearest, giving a little tug and trying to swim in the direction that would best get them out of the thing's reach. It's distracted still, after all, since they're not the only ones out there attacking it.
