[143] [044] [399] [218] Islands in the stream
Tags tonight, fucking finally. I have been so all over the place these last few days, oy. I blame this week's Breaking Bad, because I am seriously still not okay.
You squat on the sandy bank. As you prepare your meal you notice a movement in the sand a couple of metres to your left. The movement becomes quite turbulent and you spring to your feet, sword at the ready. Suddenly a large tubular head breaks through the surface, twists around in the air and picks up your scent. The smooth, segmented body of a GIANT SANDWORM rears up and sways over in your direction. As it does so, a large orifice, with short, spiky teeth, opens in what must be its head. You must do battle with this creature.
GIANT SANDWORM (Skill 7, Stamina 7)
Getting tougher!
Panting after the struggle, you sit down to collect yourself and finish the Provisions you started. Eventually you pack your bag and wade into the stream.
The current is strong and takes you swiftly downstream. You are washed along through a narrow opening and out into a large cavern with banks on both sides. The current washes you on to the south bank.
You are on the south bank of an underground river facing across its black depths. There appear to be four ways of crossing. To your left, a rusted bell bears the sign: 'Ferry Service 2 Gold Pieces - Please Ring.' There is a small raft in front of you on the bank with a long stick resting beside it: you could punt across the river. A rickety old bridge crosses on the right. If you don't trust any of these, you may swim.
