Foiled Plans

The group managed to leave the forest, up ahead they found the road and the yellow river again. Fortunately, the fog containing the devourers was nowhere in sight.

"How much further?" Lucan asked. He didn't want to end up following the river for a whole month before they reached the Ghost King's castle.

"Don't worry, we should reach there by tonight. I chose a good place for us to enter."

They kept to the moving forward, around lunch time they encountered another group of abominations. This time they weren't nearly as strong and didn't have a terrain advantage. Squid-like creatures were swimming through the air. Instead of having their mouths between their tentacles, they had two sets of jaws on top of their heads.

The creature's tentacles were covered in sharp barbs that flailed around as they propelled themselves through the air, their skin was gray and covered with a slimy film.
