“Sure.”
Flechette gauged the direction of the ocean, deemed that east, and then headed northwest as Kid Win had suggested.
Told ya the ocean seemed to be to the east, though I do think this is the most explicit confirmation of that so far.
Oh, wait, no, it was explicitly mentioned as “the ocean bordering us to the east” back in 1.2.
She traveled at ground level, wading through the water, to make faster progress. Nothing to prove, now that she had stopped patrolling with Shadow Stalker.
Life tends to be better when you have nothing to prove.
It didn’t take long to find the ‘lake’ Leviathan had made in the downtown area. Given that the streets were flooded with water anyways, the crater itself was distinguishable only by the barrier around it, and a dark shadow beneath the water where there was nothing beneath to reflect light.
I guess that’s one good reason to mark it down on maps as a “crater” rather than a “lake” for now – that it’s barely different from the rest of the city.
Hulks of fallen buildings sat in the center of the water. The orange light of a fire on the top floor of one of the buildings suggested that someone had swum to one of the buildings and was staying there. Maybe one of the safer places to be.
Heh, yeah, I suppose. Got one hell of a moat, that’s for sure.
The crater was surrounded by orange striped barriers with flashing lights and portable chain link fences that were chained together. The fencing formed a solid barrier around the hole.
And a fence around the moat, too.
She walked with the fence to her left, which roughly halved the area she had to keep an eye on, in case of approaching trouble. Her right index finger was just below the trigger of her arbalest, and her left hand clutched a handful of darts.
Sounds reasonable.
