Into the Depths: Investigating the Shimmering Shore Tunnels (Group 1)

Úlfr managed to catch the girls scruff and with the aid of the older woman, pull her back onto solid ground. He gently released his grip and nodded as the elder spoke. "Agreed. No good can come from going deeper in these tunnels, we need to get out." He turned to start navigating up the fallen rocks and debris toward the thin shaft of light when the ground shook violently once more. This time the echoes of shifting rock seemed much closer. Deeper in the narrow tunnel a massive, grotesque worm with one eye emerged. "Fucking shit!" He snarled as he stared at the beast, swiftly moving to join the women, his hackles and fur standing on end as he tried to make himself look as big as possible. The corner of his lips turned up just slightly. "What horror do the gods place before us? What challenge do they ask us meet?"
He stepped forward, ears pinning to his head, shoulders rolling forward as his neck scrunched back. The older woman cast a stone at the creature, nailing it in the eye. Her motion of self-sacrifice went un-noticed for Úlfr could hear the songs of his ancestors and he kicked of hard, darting in the opposite direction of Isa, hoping the worm's attention would be on her.
Úlfr leapt for the right-most petal of the worm's head, aiming for the base of it by the hook. He aimed to get a hold and forcefully pull it back. At the same time his ravens swooped in, aiming to use their talons to slash the eye in a hit and run attack.
