Elliot lowered his head and looked into the bottom of the boat. Something wasn't right about this whole situation, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He knew Victoria had never seen any action. He wanted to protect her from that, but he knew it was futile. He had seen that look in eager recruits before. They didn't know the horrors of war until it was upon them, and then it was too late. "Lets hope we don't have to." he says in response to mothers prediction.

Victoria peered through the falling rain at the destroyer, placing her hand sideways against her forehead. "There's activity on the deck of the ship," she said. "I can see a bunch of armed men in wet suits gathering. Looks like they're getting ready for something."
Elliot could see it too. A squad of Royal Marines were assembling on the destroyer's deck, and a tough-looking sergeant was addressing them.
"Keep an eye on them," said Y'Hali, "but let's not take any action yet."

"Idiots," Elliot mummers to himself, they are all going to die, trying to figure out a way to warn these frogmen before they head to their doom.

OOC,I'm sorry, it was my fault. I was just starting to catch up after getting back from the convention when I lost my Internet access and only got it back today. I am waiting for progress in the other threads, but I don't see a need to stop this one completely. I can just proceed slowly until everything's ready.
[b]Elliot[/b], please roll Idea.

"They're getting in rubber dinghies!" Victoria called. "They're being lowered over the side!"
Elliot could see it too. The sergeant and the five men with him got into three dinghies, two men to a boat. The crew of the destroyer lowered them into the water.
"Get ready," said Y'Hali. "It's almost time."

Elliot recalled seeing a flare gun while rummaging through the sack earlier. It would be an unmistakable signal, but there was no telling how the Marines would interpret it. It would also alert whoever the Deep Ones intended to see it, and there was no telling what they were meant to do once they did. Further, it would blow his cover, as everyone around him would see him.

Elliot reaches into the sack and secures the flare gun putting it nearby but out of site of Victoria.

Before he can shoot it Elliot hears something.

Elliot heard a single distant gunshot, coming from the direction of land and above the cliffs. Nobody else seemed to notice it.
OOC,[b]Elliot[/b], please roll Conceal to see how well you hide the flare. The other threads have caught up with yours and even gotten a little ahead, so there's no need to slow down now. In fact, I'd like to move things along so that we can get you into Episode 5.

Obviously failing in his attempt to hide the flare gun, the bright orange standing out in the dark, he tries to act like it is nothing.
Using fast talk, "Did you hear that gunshot from the land?"

The men in the rubber boats began paddling towards the cliff, to where the cave entrance was hidden.
"I thought I heard something," said Y'Hali. "I'm sure you're right. The invasion is underway."
While most of the others were too distracted to notice Elliot take the flare from the sack, he could not escape Hatho's suspicious, bulging eyes. "And what do you think you're doing with that flare?" snarled the Deep One.
"I'm sure he just took it out because he knows this is the time to fire it, now that he's heard the shot," said Victoria. "The rest of us will be busy, after all."
"If that's so, then fire it in the air, human."
"Yes, do so," said Y'Hali. "It's time to start the ritual." She began to chant, and Randall and her children joined in.

"Exactly," Elliot says as he takes the flare gun stands in the small boat and raises the gun skyward. But as the boat rocks, he falls back into the boat. The flare gun slipping out of his hand and overboard. "Oh crap, I dropped it." he exclaims.

Hatho glared at Elliot with pure malevolence, but he did not interrupt his chanting. The three small boats paddled closer to the cliffs. When they were most of the way there, a sudden rushing sound came from behind them. A massive wave, some thirty feet high, was coming in from the sea, towering over the HMS Brighton behind them! It wasn't all that long or wide, but the height alone was enough to swamp the ship. The wave crashed against the destroyer with its full force, knocking her onto her side and capsizing her. Then it continued, looming over the tiny dinghies and the Marines in them...
The Deep Ones and their spawn stopped their chanting. "You did that on purpose!" Hatho snarled at Elliot. "I'll kill you for that!"
