<<timedinsert 1s>> I slept that night. <<if $madness >= 5>>Truely Syrcoax's curse is strong that it would shut my eyes tight and slip me into a coma that when I awoke I saw Caliban digging deeply into the sand. He had pulled out from the ground a lean bone of some small child who must have been buried here long ago. I don't know why but I grew engaged at the sight and Miranda pleaded with me, telling me it was a mistake that Caliban had ment nothing by it. I refused, despite the mutt's whining and cringing at my threats I smacked the man across the face with my staff. He staggered and hid his deformed tail between his legs. Loud yaps of terror passed his lips as I continued to attack. He had attacked Miranda, her hands were Slick.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSlick.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSlick with sea water and foam.
