“Let’s head for shore,” Hatman suggested. “I don’t like the look of those v-shaped ripples over there heading in this direction.”

The Shoggoth swelled up to make a thick, gooey raft.

“The Shmoo was never this sticky,” CSFB! pointed out.

There was a disturbance in the water around the Shoggoth. “Hmm,” he noted. “Some tiny carnivorous piscine entities are discovering that it is not a good idea to nibble elder creature.”

“Pirhanas!” Trickshot recognised. “Are there piranhas in North Africa?”

“There are now,” Hatman replied. “Get us to shore, please, Shoggy.”

“Yo is wanting to find out what is to be behind all of this,” Yo confessed. “Why is this place not to be all destroyed like everywhere else near uncute crater? Why is to be lovely untypical creatures round here? What is to be making of cute rainbow flashings?”

The Shoggoth finally floated to shore and the heroes hurriedly and gratefully pulled themselves onto dry land.

Trickshot looked down the waterline and spotted a cluster of broken trees where something large had forced a pathway away from the lake. “Another big monster?” he wondered.

Yo was still looking northwards into the jungle, hoping to find the place where s/he had seen the rainbow lights. “Perhaps,” s/he replied. “Is many mysteries here.”

• Follow the pathway of broken trees
• Head north into the jungle to look for rainbow lights
