Episode 1 · Episode Round 1

As Merrin dives down to rescue Varikka, she feels a surge of water pressure that makes her ears pop. She presses on, her eyes straining to pierce through the murky depths, and catches a glimpse of Varikka's head, partially obscured by a tangled mass of tentacles. Suddenly, the water surges around her, threatening to pull her down, and she realizes she must act fast to save her friend. Merrin quickly assesses the situation, her mind racing with possible solutions. She knows that if she can't reach Varikka in time, the Tentacled Horror will drag her friend down into the depths. With a fierce determination, Merrin knows she must act fast to save Varikka from the jaws of the Tentacled Horror.
I feel a surge of panic as I watch Varikka being dragged under by the tentacled horror. Without hesitation, I dive into the water after her, my arms slicing through the cold, murky depths. My lungs burn as I swim deeper, fighting against the increasing water pressure. Suddenly, I see a flash of movement in the corner of my eye - it's Varikka, caught in a tangle of writhing tentacles! I reach for my dagger with shaking hands, knowing I only have one chance to free her before she's pulled beyond reach.
