"I'm going as fast as I can, believe me!" There's a strong temptation to stop rowing and just turn around to slice at the damned thing, but Skadi has a feeling that even if she made it, the elven mage definitely wouldn't. Not about to have someone else's death on her hands, she grits her teeth and redoubles her efforts, even as the water becomes choppier thanks to the feisty kraken. Maybe there'd be time to throw a--no, keep rowing.
