The three arrows fired by Tyler lodge into a tentacle with an impossibly solid thunk sound before they slowly sink into the water. The tentacle seems unfased.
Andy's efforts to swipe all the tentacles results in the first 3 getting sliced in a spray of foam, then the others quickly dodging out of the way of her circle. Whatever this thing is, it isn't dumb. At least there's only 3 tentacles left.
Matt begins to glow again, a soft golden light shining from his skin. Deep blue eyes and luscious blond hair compliment fuller cheeks and a less pronounced chin as his body regains its former unfamiliarity. Heather puts a hand over her mouth as Matt's clothes get baggier and his chest gets saggier. The light vanishes, but not before his last claim to manhood is taken away and replaced yet again with something else.
The other passengers can only watch as the head-like thing lashes towards the boat, making to swallow it entirely. Just as too-solid water is about to engulf everyone, Bill waves his hand at it. The creature makes a gurgling scream, showing a large, foamy gash that doesn't go away. Bill eyes the thing with determination. In his hand is an odd, curved blade of nothing. It hurts to look at it, partly because it seems to be fighting to not even be there. Bill takes a step, then speaks.
"Lay off. You're not taking this boat."
The creature hisses like a crashing wave, then dives beneath the surface, tentacles and all. It is gone. The black fog seems to be slowly lifting...
