"Oh no you don't!" Howl raised his spear and stabbed it into the tentacle, pulled it out and grabbed Ross. The tentacle receded, but he new it would be back up with friends, so he threw Ross away from the river bed. "GO! You can move faster than me!" Trying to limp away from the river, more tentacles came up trying to grab Howl. He swung his spear at them furiously, hoping they would back off long enough for him to get help.
