As the rain pressed hard on those below the clouds most creatures hid in their homes and shelters. There was a small group of children desperately trying to make a water proof shelter. Somewhere away from the group were two figures. Both wore heavy cloaks and moved slowly through the water drenched earth. They looked small and stocky clinging to one another.
The pouring rain made the river look , before calm and gentle, now look like it was trying to mimic the feature of a saw blade. There was so much noise that even if a comet would fall next to someone, he would just slightly hear it. And this was perfect. The noise, the grey dark light, the humidity in the air, all of this was perfect for the Bullywugs to raid and hunt. Slowly their eyes surfaced, they were dark grey and in perfect union with the water, making them invisible. They spied on the small group of children for awhile, then as one gave the sign, they slowly began to make their way towards the group of children.

Argurios was tying together the second layer of branches which hold down the leafs. The makeshift roof was doing its work, and as he looked to Aiden he was pleased by the boat idea and how it turned out. "all we need to do now is dig up some earth from under the roofs and put some sticks and bark as some sort of a floor. Otherwise the water will rise up into our ars's." He turned to Brisa and Jatan. " I don't know much about the wild life here, but except for swamp trolls i don't know of any creature that would want to move in this rain, as for trolls they are in swamps and such terrain so no need to fear them... Now i would recommend you two come here and duck under, it ain't a tavern but its better then open space."
As Argurios finished the roof, he grabbed his axe in attempt to used it as a shovel. Before he started he paused to catch his breath and look at his surroundings. The sky seemed like it was doomed for eternal rain. As he looked over the field he saw two dark figures approaching, at the same time he saw what looked like a group of goblins crawling towards them from the river. Argurios was not sure what to think. He dark figures could be anyone who was unlucky enough to be caught by the rain on the road. The goblins could be nature playing with visual illusion or something like that, but Argurios doubted that, yet could not distinctly tell what it is.
He looked towards the river, but there was nothing there, Argurios was sure that those crawling things had to come from the river, but there were no boats to be seen. He strained his eyes trying to catch anything in the water, and for a moment he thought he saw two balls floating on the water, but as soon as he saw them as soon they disappeared.
Once Argurios was sure there was no threat from the river, he grabbed his sling, put a stone in it and turned to others. "We have company, there is someone approaching from the field, grab what ever you can find, and be ready to defend yourself." He said with calm but stern voice, walked back a little for a chance of a good shoot, the sling in his right, with the axe in his left, Argurios waited for the duo to join them, hoping they were friendlies.
