He rested for what he believed to be two hours. The moon did not
rise now until late and he had no way of judging the time. Nor was he
really resting except comparatively. He was still bearing the pull of the
fish across his shoulders but he placed his left hand on the gunwale of
the bow and confided more and more of the resistance to the fish to the
skiff itself.
We dip our hats to Santiago in respect. Our struggle with the lurker only lasted about 10 minutes or so on our best try before he bugged out, perhaps at 24% or so. We’ll watch the healing aggro and try not to even think about bugging out the encounter.
Of course, it was great fighting a new dungeon boss, learning the encounter, and slicing through the trash. Something purple dropped for our bear, so we are set for Monday night. Fish Fry in SSC. We know we’ll do better than Santiago, because, the water will be scalding hot.
