Even the water of the great lake bore their passage without so much as a single lap of oar in water.But that could work both ways.When the arrows started falling, she didn't hear them either, or the screams of those they hit.Her first clue was when a man in the boat ahead of her clutched at a shaft in the side of his neck; only then did she notice the cloud of fletched death swooping down on them.Fortunately, Ram and Dextra were ahead of her, hefting their shields to catch most of the darts coming their way.But while all eyes were turned up, Mazgar felt something seize her oar.She jerked at it, and then the boat heaved up on one side.The wormies were in the water.Ahead, the mist was suddenly incandescent with bursts of orange and azure.So much for surprise, she thought.

The boat started to flip, so she jumped clear into the water.To fight the panic being submerged always brought on, she concentrated instead on finding the bottom with her feet, as all around her the upper bodies of wormies appeared, water draining from the cavities in their faces and chests.

She set her footing in the muddy bottom and boxed away the nearest before drawing her close-work dagger.Ram, Dextra, Martin, and a Redguard whose name she didn't know formed a diamond formation around Brennus and started pushing toward shore.She went for their hands first; grab with her left, sever at the wrist with her knife, cut the side of the neck, move on.She was slower in the water, but so — thank Mauloch — were they.She saw Ram had one on his back and cut its arm off at the elbow, ruining its grip, but then another hail of arrows dropped into the water and Ram went down anyway, screaming soundlessly and gripping at a shaft in his sternum.
