::Salty was in a new world. The ground he walked upon was either under water or if not, it was squishy like quicksand and sometimes he sank into the muck up to his knees. There were long, sinuous roots, thick strands of wet, slippery vines that tripped a man and sent him into mud or under water.
Several times while they waded through chest high water, Arculieus held up his hand to stop them, waiting until a sinister looking mamba swam by them, seeking easier prey than several armed men. He felt small things seemingly by the dozens at a time, bumping into his his legs. One of the pirate's men whispered to Salty, "They be bints laddie, don't bleed when they be around, else they will eat thee alive. And ye should check you body each time ye come out of the water, just to see how many leeches ye have caught" and he chuckled seeing Salty roll his eyes in his head. Salty didn't bother to thank the man for that bit of advice, he just shivered.
