Re: [Open areas south of the cove]
[the two healthy raptors manage to leap out of the way of most of the seals, but the already gored one is v. unfortunate, along with the standing, but injured one]
[unluckily enough, when the first two leap to safety, they get caught in the energy tendrils. SCREECH OF FRUSTRATION AT THIS VAGUELY JAPANESE TENTACLE LIKE SITUATION if you're into that thing i guess!!, and the remaining seals bind to them. MMM SMELLS LIKE BURNING 8U a small window of opportunity arises!!]
