Nina seems to start to do the same, digging through her backpack to retrieve a simple blanket that she spreads out on the sand. However, she pauses as she looks out at the water, tilting her head in some silence for a long moment almost in a half daze before simply shaking it off. Seeming to regain focus, she makes herself comfortable on her blanket with a soft smile, speaking simply to Rashimi. "As expected, Kenji does not approve." She gives an amused shrug before tilting her head at Kraig. "This is certainly very pretty. Definitely different than the view of the lake from Nybor. But, in a good way." She falls to silence as she trails her fingers through the sand next to her blanket calmly.

Rashimi grins at Nina. "Unsurprising." The fairy proceeds to take off, skimming across the tops of the waves and doing loopy loops in the air as she tests her flying on the ocean breeze. "There's so much water! Does it ever end?" she yells enthusiastically, gazing out to the sea's horizon.
Zelvo looked as if he might comment on Kraig's one liner, only to chuckle and shake his head. Beyond that, he stayed standing for the moment, staring out to the waters with his arms folded behind his head. "Everything comes to an end, or so those Torag worshippers would have it. Or was Lamashtu?" He frowned and started to rub his chin. "No... no she's all about monsters 'n that sorta thing. Uh... well! I know there's probably at least one or two dietes out there all about 'the end' of things."He admits, rolling his eyes. "But I'm pretty sure if you sailed off for long enough, you'll come across some other land eventually."

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Nina watches Rashimi with some amusement, tilting her head curiously. "Even though that's true, don't go trying to find distant lands Rashimi! You definitely don't want to be caught out there with tired wings." Nina seems to take a moment, working her way to taking off her simple boots to sit them on the edges of her blanket. After a long moment of contemplation, she begins to take off her bag and hat as well, tucking her witch hat under her bag to keep it weighed down. Now, without her hat, the girls pointed ears are more easily visible under her loosely tied back white hair. Once free of any extra gear, she pushes herself to her feet, assuring her blanket wont flutter away with the weight of her boots before placing her bare feet in the sand, beginning her trek to the water. As she nears where the waves gently brush onto the beach, she seems to mutter with some amused sarcasm to herself. "Daemon... Could you explain to Kenji that we're just putting our toes in the water? Thank you." With a satisfied nod, she moves into the water until just above her ankles are submerged by the waves, wiggling her toes in the wet sand peacefully. As she does, she speaks happily to no-one in particular. "Definitely can't get waves like these on the lake."
"Relax, I'm not going too far." Rashimi's eyes glitter though, a certain hunger for adventure in them that tells you maybe she would, under different circumstances. Skimming along the surface of the water, she eventually pulls around and curves to head back to the beach, damp with sea spray.
Kraig smirks at Zelvo, "I think you mean Groetus, but aye. There is an end to the ocean, wee fighter." He watches with amusement as the shoanti pixie flits and swirls in sync with the tide. He watches as Nina moves out into the ocean, his brows furrowing, wondering who she might be talking to, but reminds himself that he has his own baggage that he doesn't wish to unload as yet, and thinks better of asking her. Instead he raises his flask up and towards the priest, in a wordless gesture. Whether he takes it or not, Kraig will stand and remove his boots, and pull his cloak and armor off, until down to a pair of cotton shorts. His body has the same weathered and tanned skin, large portions of which covered in a thick forest of hair. What's most noticeable, however is the scars: both legs from mid-thigh down to the ends of his feet are mottled with burns, as well as his left arm from elbow to shoulder. a massive, pearl white scar runs down his back, from shoulder down across continuing past his waistband at his left buttock looks as if he'd been felled by some giant axe like a tree. With a great shout of excitement, Kraig runs close past Nina before leaping high into the air with a "Wooooo!" coming down with a cannonball into the waves, splashing salt water back towards the sorceress and possibly Rashimi depending on how close she was.

After an hour or two, you return to the festival from the beach. The celebration continues on for a few more hours, going on into the evening. Suddenly, a sharp retort, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun’s setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the central podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman’s scream slices through the air. A few moments later, another scream rises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises— high-pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as the stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill, scratchy voices.
Goblins chew and goblins bite . Goblins cut and goblins fight. Stab the dog and cut the horse, Goblins eat and take by force! Goblins race and goblins jump Goblins slash and goblins bump. Burn the skin and mash the head, Goblins here and you be dead! Chase the baby, catch the pup. Bonk the head to shut it up. Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed, We be goblins! You be food!
DC12 Perception:
The form that rushed by and killed the dog is that of a goblin.
In the midst of the chaos, three goblins rush towards you all and attack!

Zelvo sobered fairly quickly at the sound of the woman's yell. And in only just catching a glimpse of the culprit responsible for drawing it out, his easy going demeanor almost immediately shifted to the grim as shield is drawn and quickly strapped into place. "You picked the wrong festival to make a raucous, ya little menaces."He'd state as he moved to intercept.

"Have at thee, Goblins!"Zelvo called out as he quickly closed the distance on another goblin with an incantation at the tip of his tongue. And yet, despite all temptation to let them loose, the cleric brought warhammer to bear in a hard strike to the goblin's gut! In hesitating to throw his full weight into a killing blow however, the strike is easily enough side-stepped, leading him to stumble pass the creature.
