Treasure Map

Her eyes and nostril slits broke the surface of the water with barely a ripple. She blinked. The second, clear eyelid that allowed her to see easily underwater retracted and the Mist Swamp came into focus - at least as much as the gloom would allow. The Theran soldiers slogged through the driest path they could find, thick warm mud sucking at their heavy boots. Easy prey. The hunter swept her powerful tail and slid forward silently.
When she was within easy striking distance, she exploded out of the water. Her t'skrang battle cry split the air even as her spear split the throat of the Theran she had chosen. Magic guided her hand well; he dropped to the mud before he could even touch his sword. At once the rest of her team swung into action. Yaggoroc, the massive, moss-covered stone obsidiman, rose seemingly out of nowhere to grab another soldier and then tumbled into the pool. He would need no weapon; he could rely on his 900lb bulk, strength, and the water to end the Theran. A few pointed quips and needle-sharp sword thrusts from Harrla, the little windling swordmaster, a brain-busting hex from their dwarven wizard, and the Theran exploratory team was decimated. That wasn't to say they weren't blooded and winded - even caught in an ambush, Therans boasted excellent training and equipment. However, the outcome was never really in doubt.

The t'skrang warrior who served as the team's defacto leader surveyed her team. "Harrla, did they have a map?"
"Yeah, but the unfortunate sod bled all over it."
"Well, no matter. We still have plenty of maps to the 'ancient ruins' back at camp, right?" We'll have another batch of the imperialist marching monkeys out here within the week."
