None of them step forward however when a call from the rivers edge is made, someone saying "Sssweeties if we all do this together we can get rid of it quickly." A lone serpent stands at the rivers edge, a large wavy sword on her back and a spear at her side, and a custom swim suit adorns her body. The crowd murmers and shakes their heads as they back away, one poor old turtle pointing to his bandaged leg. "It's a beast! Don't touch it, it took my good leg, look at the size of the bite!"<br> <br>Arimia wanders forward out of the crowd, giving an amused look toward the turtle and says, "That's what frightened animals do. They lash out. It's probably out of it's usual territory, probably having been driven out by some beings nearby, or somethin'. So it's somewhere unknown, an' scared." She continues on her way toward the serpent, giving a brief smile before looking toward the water to try and spot this 'beast'. <br> <br>Saibh is out and about and doing things. She's sporting her own bandages, but they're on her left arm. Nothing too bad though. Spotting a familiar face, she calls out, "lo!" keeping it simple and seemingly missing the gathered crowd. Stepping up, she then leans from foot to foot to watch the water and murmurs, "I don't know. Maybe it woke up early and it's a bit on the hungry side?" well she was paying attention at least. She quickly adds, "Wonder if we couldn't find a way to catch it and drag it up on land with bait or something..."<br> <br>Bite frowns. "Sssweetie you may as well kill it if you want to drag it on land. It's too big to effectively move a long distance." she hisses and looks to Arimia and Saibh before moving back slightly as the thrashing gets closer to the shore they're standing on. In the river one can clearly see a large, sausage shaped creature, a sleek black and blue with spines all over it's form. It twists and writhes, kicking up mud and dirt from the bottom of the river. "I'm not really sure what's wrong with it sssweetie." she finally hisses.<br> <br>Arimia gives a small frown and follows it with a shake of her head. She reaches up to remove her cloak and lightly folds it before setting it down on the ground. This would have the effect of leaving her tentacles on view for the crowd behind them. She glances at Saibh and flashes a smile before returning her attention back to the river and saying, "Let's find out. I'm bettin' it's from the ocean, though. Looks too big to me to belong in a river. If there ain't anything wrong with it we can herd it back that way. With you an' me in the water, an' Saibh here on shore to call out when it looks like it's goin' to change direction or somethin' we should be able to manage."<br> <br>Saibh glances over and says dryly, "Why else would I suggest dragging a big critter up on land like that? Either y'find a way to boot it out and it goes on it's way, hopefully with eating one of us kept to a minimum, or we kill it. Unless you happen t'have another idea?" She glances to Arimia after that and adds, "For emphasis, I'd uh.. seriously, being eaten, bits or whole kept to a minimum. Definitely a preference" She rocks from foot to foot as she considers before she adds, "Where did it come from anyway? Or better yet, what is it exactly?"<br> <br>The crowd murmers to themselves at the pink raccoon, a couple shouting insults as they let their prejudice get the better of them. The turtle cries "No, it's the actions of a wild beast, it clearly wants to devour us all!" as he shakes his bandaged stump. The serpent nods to Arimia and moves into the river, swimming out to the other side a quickly as possible and waiting for Arimia to act.<br> <br>Arimia flashes a grin to Saibh and says, "I much prefer to do the eatin'." She then steps a short distance away and her form twists and reshapes itself, until it's that of an eight foot long, tentacled, serpentine dragon, rather than a raccoon. Still pink, though." She glances back at the crowd and gives a very sharp-toothed grin. "I'll be sure to remember the insults, next time one of you calls for aid from the Freeswords. I'll also be sure to remember you're all too cowardly to try an' help a frightened animal back to it's home, instead preferin' to jus' kill it." Not clarifying what the remembrance means she moves her large form into the water gracefully, looking toward Bite before swimming toward the large shape in the water.<br> <br>Saibh glances over to the turtle and says dryly, "Pipe down stumpy, we're trying to figure out the best way to get it to go away." She looks a little annoyed for some reason. There's probably a few good reasons really. She offers a shrug and mutters to herself, "Killing, trapping, as long as I get paid and you don't get eaten right?" She then snaps her fingers and asks, "Hey wait, we're being paid right? Not sayin' I won't help, but... uh, well I'll help either way I guess"<br> <br>THe creature seems to split in two as Arimia approaches it, blue and black coming apart and twisting in the water before they lunge at the raccoon dragon.

Glancing back, she stumbles back for a moment and starts to reach for her bow and an arrow.

A crowd is beginning to gather a distance from the river, up on a hill where they point towards a thrashing form on the rivers surface, a huge fin quite visible above the water.

The crowd shouts loudly "It's attacking!", "He was right!", "KILL IT!

Bite rushes over to her, calling upon her dedication with a paniced devotion.

Saibh is confronted with an angry turtle and multiple folk who have pulled out an assortment of weaponry. "Six thousand crowns to the one who kills the beast!" the turtle cries out as the crowd slowly approaches Saibh, it looks like they have their work cut out for them keeping the crowd at bay. The black creature follows after Arimia but stops short and darts back to the other blue creature, the two quickly meshing together as the thrashing begins again. Bite stands on the shore giggling but watching both the crowd and the creature, she's not sure what to do.

Bite does her best to continue speeeding it along then just goes along for the ride, hanging onto her gear and watching the creatures get more and more aggitated at Arimia as they move towards the ocean.

Arimia continues on her way, doing her best to keep ahead of the creatures while staying low in the water, trying to entice the things lower as well.

The two continue this effort for quite a while, slowly guiding the creatuers until they are out at sea, at which point they start trying to swiim back up stream. Bite does her best to make this impossible for them.
