Well, they'd come this far, and thus far the sanctum seemed to have eaten far more gold than it had divulged. And the prophet sounded like no joke. Bobby-Jack weighed his dagger in his hand as his eyes darted between his companions. He held his breath, considering his options, before finally exhaling with a sigh.

Seemed like they were doing this.

Izumi sized up the locust eggs. They really were a lot bigger than she'd have expected. But then again, so were the locusts. She raised her blade carefully, focusing on the target.

"Your darkness will be unleashed on these lands no longer. Your hunger shall be devoured by Onigiri's... uh... hunger."

One slash. Two. Three. Four. All in quick succession, one blow flowing fluidly into the next. There was a pause as she sheathed Onigiri, and the cluster of eggs exploded into green goo. She nodded and posed. Yes, this was good.

"Oh, uh, sorry, Scapula, I'll get out of your way."

Once more into the breaching the sportsmage stepped, pickaxing vigor increasing until the barrier at last fell apart. He stuck his head past the edge of the gap and grinned at the party in the distance while they fought and slew their scaly foes.

"Yeah, all good here so far. Scored a couple drones, couple grubs and almost a half-dozen of these raptors. Let us know if you need more support down there."

He looked at the chest behind where his fellow mage had been, and reached for his lockpicks.

As Izumi carefully wiped egg goo off of Onigiri, the sounds from around the corner intensified--Scapula had gotten into a sticky situation. Well, no, there weren't spiders, but there were a whole lot of beetles.

"Your first mistake was to turn your back on me, fiend."

There was a mighty thud as Izumi brought her blade down on the locust's carapace. That was... a whole lot harder than the eggs had been. She really should have expected that.

The clamor of fighting and Izumi's dramatic declamations indicated that his presence was needed, so he left the others to handle the offending grub when they secured the point cache.

At the swing of the lever the doors jostle in their frames, then swing open. Inches of cold water pour forth from the unsealed chamber and over the boots of the waiting warriors as their ears are damped by a change in pressure.

Aside from the murmur of flowing water, there is no sound from the figures that wait on the other side of the chamber. Except for Honiko.

From between her ears a clear voice sounds.

Seagrym Prophet posted:

"So today is that day. I have seen this. The day my friends die, and I lose much. In some dreams this is my last day, yet in other dreams I see days beyond this one. It is not decided. Few things are, when gods are involved.

Where are you, usurper?

I do not see you with my eyes, yet in my dreams of this day you are always here.

I know you hear me.

I know you bear the mark of my lord, and I know his wants.
I stand in his way and he wishes me removed, yet he is bound by his nature.

You love him not. He loves you not.
You are a tool, I'm afraid.
And as such, you should fear him who would be your lord.

Heed me:
You are marked but not yet bound.
He can not harm you if you turn and leave this place.
I know you came before in search of a reliquary of my lord.
I have another to offer you if you leave this place in peace."


A vision floats in the air before Honiko's eyes, another silver scale like the one in the Lector's possession. In her mind she sees it secreted deep below, in a watery chamber hundreds of feet down.

"Because of what you have cost me today, we will never be friends.
But on my soul I swear I will raise this thing you prize and deliver it to you.
The ocean need not drink more blood today.

But if we are to make war, then I wish you to know this:

If you wrest my lord's token from me, so will you wrest my burdens.

And they are heavy.

On the day I hatched I was given a name. 'Esa-ahsaa',
'The hidden pearl.'

The day I took my lord's binding, my name was changed.
I was 'Esa-sesa-apaasa'
'The pearl upon wavecrest.'

The day I became a heretic, my name was changed.
I am 'Seesth-esh-sehassa.'

'He who holds back the tide'

As will you be.

Lest we all drown under it.

The locust was angry. Its mandibles opened wide--far wider than Izumi would have thought possible, and snapped, a sweeping bite that would have torn right into both her and Scapula if they hadn't sidestepped it--straight into the waiting, smaller jaws of normal locusts. It was looking bad. But Bjorn rounding the corner with an incomprehensible warcry--clearly some form of kiai shout--things started to look better. Her back was covered. Now was the time to look to the enemies ahead.

The soldier was already working its jaws open for another attempt. Izumi smirked.

"I've already seen through your attack, monster. Your predictability will be your downfall. TASTE MY BLADE, AND LET ONIGIRI TASTE YOUR BLOO--BUG JUICES"

She dashed forward, inside the reach of beast's jaws, driving the tip straight into its clicking mouth, through the squishy interior, cutting straight up and out of it.

"However mighty the fortress, it is never prepared for an attack from within. Just as Sensei-Sensei says."

"Wait, don't go in yet!" Honiko yelled, just as everyone was about to enter the innermost Sanctum of Tides to engage in combat with the head priest and their massive guardian.

Honiko had just received a sizable psychic message from the Seagrym Prophet, once a seer of Nauvas, now a heretic turned fighter of the tide. It would be exceedingly difficult for Honiko to explain the magical experience: they were all in this together, trying to beat back the Sea of Corruption in their own limited way. Perhaps humanity and the Seagrym could fashion an alliance...

"The false prophet of Nauvas would give us another Silver Scale if we desist! That's what we need at the guild, isn't it? Some of our members are still cursed, are they not?"

But they weren't listening. Slag went in first, then Klombo and the others. Before Brick ran in, Honiko stepped into the eastern doorway and placed a palm on the man's lower shoulder for a quick moment before he could run off. She closed her eyes and released some of her mana as she recited a quick cantrip of power.

"Run, run, go away. Come again some other day. Fleet, fleet, feet don't stray, save yourself be on your way: Fleetfoot!"
