Sure enough, Gossk confirmed that the ship taking water was his doing. Suppose it makes sense that he'd need to do this if Lynn was part fish. If it weren't for the fact he owes her for healing him, Tyrael would've demanded that he release the spell. Instead he simply agreed that this wasn't too big of an issue, but asks that the water is dismissed once Lynn is sufficiently well enough to survive without it. With nothing else left to do but wait, Tyrael scavenged for some materials on the ship in order to make a few more great arrows. Most of the arrows he had right now were not what he'd call high quality; normally properly made great arrows could not only be reused but also used as short spears, but Tyrael had been making his most recent arrows somewhat flimsy. Still sturdy enough to withstand the strength of an Ironbow, but highly likely to shatter or snap after being shot. He was lucky that the arrow he had fired the first time was still usable. He also needed to fix up his shield but Tyrael was honestly considering just replacing it wholesale. It wasn't a particularly fancy shield anyways.

Soon however there was a warning. A beast was stalking them. Tyrael guessed it wasn't merely wolves or some such; but more a monster of the sands. Sand Wyrms to be specific; Tyrael has only heard of these monsters. Subterranean creatures who burrow through the sand like a fish swims through water. It always made Tyrael wonder how such a creature possibly functions and how anyone can defend themselves against such beast. Unfortunately Tyrael would now have to figure something out. Gossk left the cabin, dismissing the spell he had cast and commanded Tyrael to go see to Lynn. [color=00a651]"Are you a fool? What good will I be hiding within the boat, when the beast is beneath us?"[/color] Tyrael took his bow and what arrows he had readied and would try and get a good vantage point to strike the wyrm, but he had no idea what a sand wyrm's weak point would be. Presumably the head, like any snake, but Tyrael could not simply waste arrows trying to pepper it's head with his arrows. He needed one decisive shot, or at least a few if the monster proved to be agile. But between the beast's own surprising speeed, it's cover with the sand, and the ship's own efforts at evasive maneuvers, Tyrael was not going to have an easy shot.

It was then that Gossk made his intentions clear. He indeed to sacrifice himself to stop the beast. Where Tyrael a normal man he would protest, however something clicked between him and Gossk. Perhaps the lizardman too felt a strange sense of need to repay Lynn for her assistance. No doubt Gossk, much like Tyrael, was saved thanks to her. And this was the only way Gossk could repay such a debt. [color=00a651]"[abbr=Iron in the Blood!]Ang Gijak-Ishi![/abbr] You are truly a fool... But there's no doubt to your strength. [abbr=Witness greatness, Terror of the Sand.]Rujatum Madum, Ognir Rarob.[/abbr] Feast."[/color] Tyrael would allow Gossk to leap off the boat, but cast his Enlarge spell once Gossk was midair, shifting him into a giant so that he may have a better chance at slaying and stalling the sand wyrm. With Gossk's sacrifice, Tyrael would go find Lynn to ensure she was okay and didn't do anything foolish like trying to go after Gossk or something. [color=00a651]"Lynn, were are you?"[/color]
