Silver Lake — Down by the Water [Duskorna]

Caedwyn was just starting to relax and enjoy the warm afternoon air when a strange bubbling noise began to come from the water. Probably nothing. Sometimes fish would bubble a little. He didn't pay it any mind at first. But the bubbling grew and grew. Before he noticed anything was wrong, a swarm of frogs had come jumping out of the water toward them! Not just normal frogs. Some of these frogs were huge! "Everyone, look out! Look at the water... frogs!" he managed to shout as he jumped away from the waters edge. The frogs seemed to be going after everyone, as if driven by some unusual magic. What was going on and who was doing this to them? They were jumping out so quickly, he could barely stumble back in time much less get his bearings to formulate a plan. Just as he was about to panic, some of the frogs seemed to become still for a moment. He wasn't sure who had done that, but he was thankful. "Quick," he shouted again, using this moment of still-ness to look around, quickly assessing the situation. "Let's drive them back to the water. Help whoever is closest to you. Anyone who cannot fight should flee to the treeline." He barked out orders loudly with authority. He wasn't sure how long the frogs would remain frozen but they had to do something. Maybe if they pushed them back to the water, they'd go back to normal? --- Perception Roll Success: He's able to jump back in time. Fail: He stumbles and is barking orders while laying on the beach. Speech.
