The Inferi holding onto the big human (Noble) was forced to let go. It rolled out of the way and into the water with a small SPLASH! The fire charm missed the Inferi entirely and hit a nearly large plant... a plant that started to fall over and onto the human.

The shove from one of the humans (Chloe) caused the Inferi to topple backwards and onto one of its companions that was clinging to another human (Emmalyn).... and then onto one of the Squid's tentacles. They latched on, clinging to it... and using it to get back to the humans, if they had to.

Meanwhile, all that talking attracted one of the creatures. A particularly small corpse lunged at a human (Ronan) and clung to his back. It started wrestling.... and writhing.... as if it was trying to take him into the lake....

A tentacle flew out, making a few of the Inferi collapse onto the ground in a heap. There was a moment of writhing.... a moment of peace... before one reached out and grabbed the ankle of a nearby human.

The Inferi weren't stopping. As more and more caught ablaze, their attack worsened. Their grip tightened, their pull worsened and their intent grew...

The humans weren't safe...
