[i]Emerging from the rocky tunnel leading from the corpse filled cavern out to the sea, a group of creatures swam up under the Rancid Eel, anchored just off the coast of the island. The infant creatures had only hatched from their egg’s roughly two weeks ago, and were now standing just under four feet tall. Two of them going under the back half of the ship, two more staying underneath the front, the last and largest of the creatures stayed under the center of the Rancid Eel. Once in place, the creatures began to claw, bite, and assault the bottom of the ship. Their sharp claws and teeth tearing into the wood, water began to pour into the bottom of the ship. Shards and planks of wood began to sink into the sea as the creatures tore into the bottom of the ship.[/i] [hider=Infant monsters appearance][img]https://i.imgur.com/HMN8Zq5.jpg[/img][/hider]
On board the ship, the captain and his small crew began to feel significant disturbances in the ship's weight distribution as the rocking became uneven and unstable. Sending some crewmen below deck to inspect the what was going on, only one man returned to report large holes in both the bow and stern of the boat, and rambling that his friend was taken. Sending more men down to help tend to the problem, the Captain was disturbed when he heard scream coming from below deck. Rushing down to the lower part of the stern, he froze, paralyzed by fear and wonder. It was small and scaled, with blade like fins and a mouth full of shark’s teeth and he was watching the small monster devour his crew member’s face.

It was not until the creature had noticed him watching and lurched at the captain, breaking the trance on the old man. On instinct alone, he swung his sword into the creature’s neck, the blade getting stuck in the collarbone, the creature fell hard with the blade still lodged in its body. Unfortunately, the damage to the ship had been done as the water the room was now up to his knees. Rushing back to the upper half of the ship, he heard the screams of his men again, this time from the bow. [i]‘Another one?’[/i] he thought to himself as he made his way topside. 

“Everyone off the ship and onto the lifeboats! We are going down!” He yelled, much too late to help anyone. The ship was already halfway underwater, and was slowly beginning to capsize. At a loss and with panic filling his body, the captain gazed at island, only a few hundred yards swim away. With no other choice available other than death, the captain lept overboard, with most his men following suit, they landed in the warm salty sea, as their beloved ship slowly submerged, sinking into the abyss below. 

[i]The remaining four creatures lurked from below, hidden in the darkness of the water, they watched as bodies landed into their domain. Swimming with unbelievable speed, the creatures began to chase after their prey, enthralled with the chase before their meal. The smallest of the bunch, with more purple-hued scales quickly caught up to the leading swimmer, closest to the ‘safety’ of the beaches. Toying with its food, it began to claw at the man’s leg, causing him to let out an audible scream scaring the others who swam behind him. Biting with immense force directly into the man's stomach and back, and digging its claws into his arms and legs, the creature ravenously pulled the man below in a flurry of blood and bubbles. Following their sibling’s example, the other three creatures began to attack the remaining members of the boat's crew, one by one pulling the crew down to their watery grave.

The captain fought to keep his head above water, the rough waves making him struggle to see and keep himself afloat. Though the ocean kept the old seaman blinded, he could hear the wales of his men around him as they were being viciously picked off around him. Thanks to some floating debris from the ship, the captain was able to regain his bearings using the large piece of wood as support to keep him afloat. About a dozen men had jumped into the water with him, and yet he looked all around him, the waters were completely empty. The dark blob of the island still remained at least two hundred yards away, the captain began to kick his legs vigorously slowly pushing himself towards land. The captain kicked hard at the creatures as they toyed with him, clawing his legs and feet. He screamed in pain as the creatures began to bite into his legs, now unable to kick. The blood curdling screams of the captain echoed across the top of the water, piercing the ears of the hunting party on the beach. Unable to fight anymore, the captain gave in, sinking into the waters below, he was quickly torn apart by the monsters below. 

[i]The waters surrounding the scaly flesh fiends were darkened by the large amount of blood released from all of the bodies. Turning their attention towards the meat on the beaches of their home, the quickly made their way ashore. The largest of the group, signified by his dark green landed on the western end of the beach. The small purple colored creature headed for the eastern end spotting two smaller prey, while the remaining two creatures, both a lighter blue color, headed for the center, close to where the party landed and where a small party still stood.
