"What is that?!" A centaur knight shouted, drawing her sword. "Are we under attack?!"
"Poisonous gas!" An orc bellowed, covering her nose with one massive hand. "Everyone, hold your breath!"
Hands flew to faces. Cloth was pressed over mouths and noses.
The mermaids in their small pond covered their gills as well, desperate to keep any trace of the vapor from entering their bodies.
The leader of the titans, spun toward the dark elf matriarch.
"Is this poison?! Is the gas they're letting out poison right now?" She spoke through fingers clamped over her nose.
The dark elf queen, who hadn't bothered to cover her face at all, shrugged lazily. "I have no clue."
"What do you mean you have no clue?" The ogre leader snapped. "You're the poison expert! You should know something about this!"
Other leaders turned toward her, hope and accusation mingling in their eyes.
But the dark elf queen just rolled her eye.
