Epsy had her head under the water fishing for the dice frantically for a few more moments, then found it. Triumphantly she took it between her teeth and splashed toward the shore. “Got it!!” She was so pleased with her success, she didn’t watch where her feet were going. One of them caught on an exposed root and entangled it. Epsy pitched forward and opened her mouth on reflex. For a moment, the modifier was exposed. Fearing she’d lose it for good, Epsy darted her head at it and caught it full in her mouth. Then, she gagged as it rolled back against her tongue and gulped,… a little too hard.
“Epsy,… tell me you dropped it…” Lexx slid his hand over his face, having turned just in time to see her trip.
