Episode 3.2.b
>In the TSTT, Troy, Bronze Age<
Hercules does not spend long on the plan. The creature has arms, long reaching arms that come before the rest of it does, and they will find you before they find him. Your job is to keep those arms occupied. He will handle what comes after.
He is already moving toward the water.
The sea has been building for a while and you can feel it in the air, that particular pressure that comes before something large happens. Then the creature rises: first the arms, long and pale and wrong in the way that deep-sea things are wrong when they come to the surface, reaching across the rocks with a kind of dull patience. The sound it makes is low and constant, like the ocean clearing its throat. Behind the arms, something larger is still coming up.
Hercules does not slow down.
Prompt: Drive back the creature's reaching arms and keep them off Hercules while he works out his plan. Attack however your Recentius sees fit.
