IC-Ep 3-The Underwater Menace(Leonek/Salem)
Cliff Base- Dunwich, England
2:11 PM - Thursday, September 5, 1985
Leonek emerged from the cave mouth to a horrifying sight. The boat was floating on the surface not far above, but it was upside-down and there was a lot of blood in the water. Salem was underwater, trying in vain to claw his way to the surface. The blood didn't seem to belong to him, but he was clearly drowning and on the verge of death. But the worst sight of all was the creature that was trying to seize Salem. This creature was larger than Leonek, larger than any human being he'd ever met. It was at least eight feet tall, with green scaly skin. It wore a long mesh vest that looked like it was made of string, silver in color. Its huge webbed hands ended in sharp claws, but it was the face that was the most disturbing part. Its features seemed more a combination of species than any one in particular. It had large, bulging eyes and gills on its neck, and it resembled a cross between a fish, a frog, and a turtle. Its features looked similar to the autopsy photo, but far, far worse. The one bright spot was that there was a gaping wound in its chest, which appeared to be the source of the blood. While badly wounded, it appeared no less dangerous.

Leonek is cold as ice as he swims towards Salem. He slides an arm under his and with a few powerful kicks, he manages to bring Salem to the surface next to the boat.
Making sure Salem is holding on, Leonek takes a deep breath, his lungs burning with joy as the fresh supply of oxygen rushes in and he dives to confront the creature, ready to pull the knife from its sheath.

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Underwater Menace(Leonek/Salem)
Taking a big gulp of air, Salem wheezes and coughs uncontrollably as he's finally relieved to have fresh air. In a panic state of mind, Salem scrambles at the flipped boat and desperately finds some sort of grip to hold onto it.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.
Re: IC-Ep 3-The Underwater Menace(Leonek/Salem)
Before Leonek had a chance to dive again, the fishman rose towards him! It slashed wildly and ineffectually at his legs with its claws.
Salem managed to grab hold of a handle on the edge of the overturned boat.

Leonek lets out a loud startled scream, his hand already halfway to the knife, he pulls it from the sheath and tries to stab the creature, but its sudden momentum caught him too off guard.

With terror rushing through Salem's mind, he desperately looks around for anything, that would help get out of these hot water.

Leonek is too preoccupied to notice anything relevant.
Taking a few quick breaths to expand his lungs, Leonek speaks with an unusually confident tone.
"They have Dr. Kirby in the mansion. Get to shore. Find the others. I will stall the monster."
With that he dives again to meet the creature, blade in hand.

Salem signals for help towards the large group, flailing his arms back and forth in fatigue.
OOC: Sorry, I guess I should've mentioned that I just wanna do nothing. I don't wanna die |

Re: IC-Ep 3-The Underwater Menace(Leonek/Salem)
Leonek ducked beneath the surface, drew his knife, and stabbed at the creature below him, but it nimbly swam to one side and easily avoided the blow. Its bulging eyes widened even more, if that were even possible, when it saw the blade. Rather than press the attack, it turned around and quickly swam off before Leonek could attack a second time, entering the cave.

Leonek curses as he observes the creature's incredible speed and swims back up to the surface.
It got away...
He swims towards Salem and grabs hold of the boat, guessing its weight is too much for him to tip over alone.
"We have to warn the others quickly, if that one gets back to the rest, there will be hell to pay and who knows what they'll do to Dr. Kirby. Do you want me to help you swim to shore or shall we try to turn over the boat?"
Leonek asked the question with a bit of a sad expression, there was no way he was going to see those trousers again...

Looking over towards Leonek, Salem was happy to see a friendly face, "Think we'll get our safety deposit back Leonek?" As Salem's face lights up an amusing smile, still heavily panting from nearly drowning.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

"I left the receipt in my trousers."
Leonek grins, and motions for Salem to help tilt the boat.

"Do you still have some of that rope? It'd make life a lot easier to flip the boat over," as Salem is calculating a way to flip over the boat.
