Chapter 11 Escape
With the island seemly blowing its self apart everyone headed for the coast in the hope of finding some boats belonging to the natives, there hopes were not in vain.
But escape will be far from easy as something seem to be in the water.
Collins"Quickly now run to the boats" Grace" I don't like the look of that thing swimming off the coast"
Helga"Look boats we can get off the island before its to late"
As Collins jumps into one of the boats Hess shoots at the terror blocking their escape,
feeling something hit it the thing notices Collins & swims rapidly over & attacks him, as his friends look on helplessly. Collins" Get to the other boats & get the hell off the island.
As Collins grapples with the huge snake everyone stands their ground momentarily frozen.
Collins"Didn't you hear me ?" Snapping out of it they start getting into the boats, no one shoots for fear of hitting Collins.
Moore & Dowl are the first ones to push out to see, but the Germans are shooting at Grace & Harriet, Dowl grabs up his rifle to give them whats for
but is hit by return fire.
Hess, Gloup & Helga are in one of the boats but Fritz slips as he tries to get into the other one.
Grace shoots Gloup & he tumbles out of the boat.
Collins is trying to break free of the snake but for something so big its lightning fast & he can't get free of it.
Dowl gets back to his feet,
as Helga & Hess push off, Helga" What about Gloup" Hess" Leave him he can get in another boat"
Fritz is back on his feet & in the boat &
is soon joined by Muller & Brown.
Dowl covers Grace & Herriet as they take to the sea.
The snake gets the better of Collins &
now heads for the boat with Moore & Dowl in it, smashing at it.
Dowl swings round & shoots the snake at point blank range wounding it
but it lashes out again at the little boat knocking Dowl from his feet as the boat rocks under the blow.The Germans can only look on as the boat comes apart
The Germans can only look on as the boat comes apart,
sending Moore & Dowl into the water.
The two man are left to their faith,
as the Germans sail away.
Moore & Dowl start swimming back for the beach,
but the snake is after them like a flash,
& quickly gets the better of Moore, seen his friend go under Dowl fires at it & it lets out a yell of pain.
Taking his chance Dowl runs through the surf to another boat to try make good his escape,
but the wound has had little effect on the thing & it launches an attack on the boat trying to get at Dowl.
After just seen how fast the last boat came apart Dowl jumps from this one runs up the beach a bit before turning again firing at snake, which with most of its body still in the water strikes at him.
Fearing their is no way out for him Dowl runs from the beach to get away from the monstrosity,
but the ground around him start to erupt sending rocks & trees hurling into the air, the last thing Dowl felt was a sharp pain in the side of his head.
Looking back from the boats the survivors watch in horror as the island vanished under a raging forming sea.
Harriet turned to Grace crying & said "What a terrible misadventure this has been, first my Father & now your friends are gone"
Grace" I'm very sorry about your Father Grace Lord Forbes was a great man, but worry not for my friends, like bad pennies they have away of turning up.
Harriet thought this a very strange thing to say after what had just happened but didn't reply, just then they herd something banging on the side of their boat & reaching over Grace lifted a large piece of wood from the water that had some strange writhing on it that she couldn't understand.
Collins"Take it easy Jim everything is ok"
Dowl"Jesus Del are we dead ? I don't reckon were still on that island as I don't see the sea & the sky looks very strange & whats Herr Gerry doing with you ?"
Collins" No I don't think were dead Jim but where the hell we are or how we got here I've no idea, but look there seem to be some kind of structure in the distance, maybe we'll find some answers over there.

Designer notes, Wow my first campaign to finish & I've got to say that I've really enjoyed it but, well there always has to be a but right :) while a campaign is great fun to do it can require a lot of work to do, which of coarse is good looking back I don't think I'd start another one until I'd all the work done for it as I feel the waiting for me at least between one chapter & the next while you get stuff done can take from the enjoyment of things.
I'll try to do a in dept look at a campaign at some point but for now I hope you guys have enjoyed following it as much as I've enjoyed playing it out :).
Well that's it for this post, my thanks to Dave https://store.pulpalley.com/ for the script & as always to you guys for dropping in & if you'd care to be a movie critic your comment would be welcomed. :)
