The air was filled with the screeching cries of angry creatures as more emerged from the water to swarm the banks.
The first to arrive spotted them fairly quickly and took after them in a brisk run. The others who emerged later, immediately followed after it.
Typhon knew they couldn't outrun the creatures with Ophelia in her injured state, so they dove into the nearest thicket and dug into the wet sands in hopes of losing their scent.
The three snakes also activated [Silence] and [Stealth] as they waited for them to pass but the creatures lurked around stubbornly.
One came very close to their hiding place, furiously sniffing the ground and the leaves like a bloodhound.
[Find a better place to hide and get as close to the ground as you can.] Typhon instructed the spaded snake and Ophelia who was breathing hard. [I'll find a way to distract it.]
Then he slipped out to face the creature alone.
