NIGHT OF HORRORS...
So far we thought this war, the destruction, the deprivation and the occupation were the absolute worse things that could happen
to us. Then, out of the shadows, those abhorrent creatures appeared... We were absolutely horrified as we caught glimpses of
them. Aghast, in total disbelief, we barricaded the doors of our houses as we hid inside. They invaded our village, our houses did
not protect us... women and children disappeared. All were overcome by fear... anger... panic... madness... despair... STOP! NO
MORE!!! And no more crying... no more whining... We simply cannot give up like this... We MUST pull ourselves together. We must
get organised, and fast. We cannot abandon our fellow villagers. No imagining what terrible faith awaits the taken if we do nothing.
DEATH, I tell you! DEATH! Its the best thing that can happen to the victims, in the clutches of those monsters. At least, thats
what the town elder keeps sermonizing incessantly. We never paid heed to his rants, disregarded them as an old geezers drivel.
That old fool! We were the fools, every single one of us! We rally around the mayor and the priest. The local band of resistance
fighters answered our cry for help. They could teach us how to fight... but there is no time... We have gathered every speck of
courage that could be found within us but all are still terrified... Its the unshakeable determination to save those dear to us that
gets us going. We move out into the murky swamp. Not much later we discover an assemblage of primitive looking huts. How could

we have lived so near and not know about this. The captives are locked up over there. No monsters to be seen. Maybe we chose
the best time to act. We are given quick instructions then take up positions. None of us are heroes, were not even soldiers... but
we shall do this...

HUNTING SHRIMP... IE F ? )

(DONT YOU ME
Rumor has it that Joseph Legalec, the lighthouse keeper, caught a shrimp in his fishing nets. Actually it was a lobster... well a
crustacean of some sort anyway... but an unbelievably humongous one. So big, it could well bring a fortune to any fisherman who
captured such a prize. Could there be any truth in this or is it a tall tale the size of the aforementioned shrimp? No indeed, Joseph
did not catch this sea dwelling Arthropod... he found it...
It had washed up on the beach beneath the lighthouse, wounded and in shock. Joseph speculated this was the result of an encounter
with a mine still afloat in the channel. One of many left behind by the Germans in their attempt to hinder or prevent an invasion.
Ilda and Von Kamptz got wind of this story. They rush on towards the house of Legalec along with their crew to claim the fishy find.
Clint and his gang have no knowledge of the creatures existence, but being hot on the trail of Von Kamptz, they too approach the
