Another enjoyable Live RP, the only one of the mission. We turn our attentions away from matters while Konall goes fishing. It's also the transport down south for Todd, Lapine and Dash. (Although looking back, it did contradict a bit with the mention of how Dash and Todd had a long walk. I figure they simply rode Dash's horse to the boat, then walked inland from when they departed on the ship. And I don't know where Lapine went intially.)

It's a solid piece, and the first time we get to see Aleena outside of her prologue from earlier.

[Alright. Here it is! Another Live RP, finally. It's the tenth Live RP of the first season! This one has Aleena, whose just debut to AIL just hit! I kept a bit more of the raw stats and such in for flavor. Hopefully it works out to be flavorful!]

<Below, Aleena and Truss, fighting above the skies of the Kingdom, see a continent and an ocean.>

<The ship slams into the ocean, with the two fighters rapidly descending soon after.>

<Meanwhile, Sebastian Dash, Konall Bearsmasher, and Todd Blackpaws are on Konall's longboat. He'd wanted to take a peaceful break from the constant fighting, having somehow finally gotten his full, by doing a little fishing. He figured killing massive amounts of fish would break up the monotony of killing massive amounts of zombies. Plus it gave him an opportunity to take Dash and the bard down south, closer to their destination of Degrassi Knoll.>

<The 3 amigos see a meteor shoot through the sky and crash into the ocean.>

Konall: "Let's check it out."

<Konall begins sailing toward the crash site.>

<Aleena touches down in the water, her wings reforming into her suit. She swims up to her ship, but realizes it's slowly sinking. She treads water for awhile, simply resting from the strenuous fight. After a time, a longboat approaches, and its occupants spot the elf in the water.>

<Todd smirks> "Ready to take a swim?" <Begins to strip off that frilly shirt of his- perhaps a mistake as it reveals that he's not that beefy upstairs.>

Konall: "I'll stay dry."

Spaz: "Oh, look, dolphins."

<Dash looks around for a better solution.>

<The ships are only 50 yards or so apart.>

<Aleena sits upon the slowly sinking ship, curses, then removes her helmet. Her suit is very form-fitting, black, with strange designs upon its surface. She places her helmet on her hip, where it sticks.>

Konall: "What's that?"

Konall: "The face looks like a pork elf."

Konall: "But I've never seen something with a hide like that."

(Aleena) <There appears to be a longboat nearby? What luck! I was not looking forward to swimming to shore.>

Dash: "Dark one? No.. too human looking."

<Aleena sees a longboat. On it sit 3 people. One is a large Viking carrying an axe with a large hammer end. He's dressed in fur armor and has a bunch of weapons on him.>

<The fox whistles> "Dunno what she is- but I'd take a hit at her anyday."

<There's also a small demon. More cute than terrifying.>

Aleena: "Tua amin! Tua amin!"

<And of course, the 6'2 Dashing Rogue, who seems quite human.>

(And Todd, a 5'8" fox who's pecs compared to the other two seem lost in the mail.)

(Aleena) <I attempt to swim to the boat.>

<Todd unslings his guitar and plays healing music [Some Healing Harmonics] sliding easily into some Mood Music for our new friend.)

<That recovers the damage I (the DM) forgot to add from the fight and her crash into the waters.>

<Aleena makes it to the boat easily. Konall grabs her and lifts her onto the deck with one hand.>

<When she nears the boat, Todd would be the first to try to help her in- given his arm strength tho, that would have been epic fail.>

Konall: "So, who are you?"

<Todd grabs a leg and helps her in.>

<Dash looks her over, then looks back to the distance.>

(She just happens to know the language. Maybe it's like Atlantis - a universal language.)

(Maybe we speak her people's Ye Old Language.)

(Or Todd plays a Song of Translating. Or it's her tech.)

<Spaz plays accompaniment to Todd's playing.>

Aleena: "My name is Aleena." <Aleena sits up wetly in the bottom of the boat.> "It is very fortunate that you were here!"

Konall: "Where are you from?"

Todd smiles: "Aleena- Pretty name for a pretty girl. Name's Todd Blackpaws."

Konall: "I'm Konall Bearsmasher. I kill things. Not you, though."

Aleena: "I... thank you, Todd Blackpaws and Konall Bearsmasher."

<Dash's eyes stay on the waters.>

<The waters seem rougher right around the boat.>

Dash: "I assume she's the oddity in the sky we saw earlier?"

Konall: "Yeah. Her ship was."

Konall: "Dash- be civil. heh. I know she don't have white fur and.. well you know..."

<Todd makes THAT motion with his paws.>

<Aleena takes a look over the edge of the boat to see if the bottom can be seen.>

<Dash looks over to the others, frowning.>

Dash: "You're right. I'm sorry. My name's Sebastian Dash."

Konall: "That's great armor you have. I've never seen anything like it. What's it made from?"

Konall: "Wyvern hide? Phoenix meat?"

Konall: "It suits you well."

Dash: "Time traveler from a future Kingdom?"

<The boat rocks suddenly from a bit of aquatic turbulence.>

Todd: "Yeah, like THAT'll happen!"

<Aleena blushes, taking a brief moment to look around. Water flows off my body in an unnatural way, and in only a few moments, I am dry.> "I am a traveler, aye... What do you know of such?"

<Todd takes the time to enjoy how that water flows.>

<Konall pulls out a tourmaline compass.>

Konall: <muttering to self> "Not magical."

Dash: "You needed a compass for that?"

Konall: "It never hurts to check."

Dash: "You're right. To be honest, I'm surprised too. Ah.. what was your name again, ma'am?"

Aleena: "A.. Aleena."

"Aleena." <Todd seemed to have taken to it well.>

Spaz: "If you could be any kind of cucumber, and it wasn't the Sneaking Green, what kind would you be?"

<Aleena gives a mildly uncomfortable look, worried about the boat of very strong-men.>

(Two strong men and a scrawny fox.)

(HA!)

(Though a humanshaped fox.)

<Todd tries to look beefy- but it ain't happenin.>

(Puny humans! Prepare for Part II: The Kraken Attackin'!

(I guess Krakens don't like having space ships dropped on their heads.)

[Alright, this is part two, but it goes together so well I just put all 'three' parts up as one! Here's a lil action for you all!]

 
<You are on a boat.>

<Konall's longboat. Something solid bumps into it, and everyone on the deck stumbles.>

Konall: "Come on! You're scratching the paint!"

Aleena: "What was that?" <Aleena takes a peek over the side, and probably regrets doing so.>

<A tentacle snakes toward her briefly, then goes back into the water.>

<Another tentacle comes over the other side and knocks Todd unconscious.>

(While I love tentacles, I don't think this one has my best interests at heart. - Spirit of Aleena.)

<Dash pulls his longsword out, preparing to take a chunk out of anything that comes close- not including allies.>

<Konall pulls out sword and shield.>

Aleena: "By the sea and stars!" (Ed' i'ear ar' elenea)

<Aleena pulls a muscle> "Ow."

<Konall tosses Aleena his bow and quiver, which is full of fire arrows.>

Konall: "You seem like you'd be good with a bow. Have at it."

<Aleena catches it and quickly straps the quiver to her back. Pulling an arrow, she nocks it, like she saw in a vid once.>

<Four green tentacles pop out, with an eye near the end of each. You can see about 20 feet (6 meters) of tentacle.>

Dash: "How fast can this boat move?"

<The tentacles lock their eyes on the 3 warriors on the deck.>

Konall: "With a fair wind, maybe 20 knots."

<Four more tentacles, these ones massive and covered in natural shell armor clamp on to the boat.>

Konall: "Now, not at all."

<Konall grumbles about wood splinters.>

<The tentacles whip at the heroes.>

(1 at Aleena, 1 at Kadlin, 2 at Dash.)

(What is the order of battle? Is there initiative?)

(Yeah, though I usually don't care. Highest groove goes first.)

(Dash's is currently seven.)

(Konall's is 7 as well. Aleena, your move.)

<Aleena attempts a bow and arrow attack. The arrow zips past the tentacle and hits a passing seagull.>

Dash: "Something in the air has given me a scare.."

<Dash ponders as he leaps forward, testing it out with a simple attack of the longsword!>

<The sword slices through the tentacle, leaving orange blood flowing onto the deck.>

<Konall's sword slices the tentacle attacking him. He moves closer to Aleena to help cover her.>

<Dash does a backflip out of the way and dodges the tentacle, slicing it off.>

<The severed tentacles sink beneath the ocean and you hear an underwater shriek. A dozen more tentacles pop out of the water.>

(Next round. Aleena then Dash. Feel free to declare your moves as soon as you want.)

<Aleena's suit propels her nimbly out of the way of the crashing tentacle. She shoots it with an arrow as it slams into the deck.>

<Konall moves to block for Aleena with his shield.>

Dash: "Anyone got an army in their pockets?"

Konall: "I only need one soldier."

<Aleena glances with a frightened expression at Konall, before turning back to try to loose another arrow at a tentacle. Groovy 8. (Total 19.)>

<The arrow hits the tentacle right in the eye.>

<Konall slices another tentacle off with his sword.>

<Dash screams and attempts to rally the group to victory!)>

(Everyone gets +2 strength.)

<Lapine randomly teleports to the ship.>

<One tentacle impales itself on the spikes on Konall's shield while the second sneaks around and hits him in the back.>

<Dash dodges both tentacles so that they wrap around each other and then slices them both off with one blow.>

<Aleena dodges the first tentacle and puts an arrow in it only to get thumped from behind by the second.>

<Aleena gasps at being struck. Though the suit protects me, a strong enough blow could throw me into the ocean.>

(There's tentacles from a kraken attacking everyone. Choose a spell and use it.)

(And everyone else can make another set of attacks as 4 more tentacles appear.)

<Lapine attempts to throw an elemental grenade at a few of the tentacles...> ((12 +2))

<Aleena tries to fire another arrow at a tentacle, and gets an 8, for a total of 19.>

<The arrow pierces a tentacle, causing it to spasm randomly.>

<The ice from the grenade engulfs several tentacles, freezing them in place. This thing does not seem to like the cold. Konall shatters them all with one blow, then darts back to defend Aleena.>

<Dash looks around, to count up any remaining tentacles.>

<Dash counts up three, and another two.>

<Konall took his blow on his armor.>

<Dash decides to up his game by going after the most dangerous looking enemy with a powerful thrust smack!>

<Dash hacks 2 more of the tentacles.>

<3 tentacles left. 1 for Lapine, one for Dash, and one for Aleena.>

<Konall blocks the one heading for Aleena with his spiked shield.>

<Lapine readies a lightening grenade ((8+2)) You guys might wanna avoid water for a moment or two.>

(You're going to throw that in the water, then, Lapine?)

(Lapine) (Yeah.)

Rogueishness: 7 ... Disco Dodge (aka Superior reflex): 8 (+2).. Dice: 7... <Dash attempts a fancy dodge!>

<Dash dodges one of the tentacles and slices it into sushi as it passes.>

<Aleena tries to get out of the way of the tentacle, but can't find her footing in the rocking boat. I got a 3, for a total of 14.>

(Doesn't matter. Konall blocked your for you.)

<The lightning grenade hits the water and the tentacle that was heading toward Leslie shudders. The water bubbles as if it's boiling, and a monstrous head pops out of the water.>

Aleena: "Thank you, that would have struck me for certain were you not there!"

Konall: "You can thank me later."

<There's a giant cone where the head is, and 2 rows of eyes.>

<The four armored tentacles are no longer holding on to the ship.>

<Lapine hmms> "Heh, don't like ice and electricity much do you buddy?"

<The creature roars.>

<Todd seems to be awake and blasting.. Beasty Bellow?!>

<Beastly Bellow: level 0.. Rogueishness: 8.. Dice: 5

Beastly Bellow: (level 0) boosts stats of all familiars, summoned creatures, and animal-like monsters in area.

(Todd gets a +2 to everything.) - (Sorry, an attribute of choice. He chooses "magicalness or something.")

<Lapine beings to glow in electricity, and points her finger at the beast ready to blast it with elemental devastation ((9+2)).>

Lapine: "Bring it slimy!"

(Todd and the monster get a +2 to their favorite attribute. Lapine too.)

<The lightning fries the kraken's skin.>

 
<Konall lobs a pair of hatchets at the thing.>

<The monster spews a cloud of poisonous gas that covers the entire longboat.>

<Everyone holds their breath while the noxious gasses fly over them, but they all succumb to poison eventually. Konall is the only one not affected.>

<Lapine collapses in a heap on the ground.> "*cough*-sucker.."

(The poison gives a -4 to all actions.)

(You guys can attack or something.)

<Konall starts steering the ship.>

<Dash prepares one more thrust smack, but it's not close enough for melee attacks.)

<Aleena struggles to put her helmet on, a task made difficult by the poison and the distinct sensation that feels quite like coughing up a lung.>

<Dash tries both flash paper and intimidation but the beast seems unaffected.>

<Dash sighs.> Dash: "Can you get us out of its range? It should be too wounded to attack.>

Konall: "But, but, but... Okay."

<Konall begins steering the ship away.>

Dash: "Thanks.. that poison is nasty.>

<You get away.>

<Todd seems to be suffering from the poison.> "Ouch..."

Aleena: "What was that?"

Konall: "Kraken. It'll probably die off soon."

Aleena: "I've never seen anything like that!"

Konall: "You're lucky."

<Dash shakes his head.> Dash: "How'd you get out there, anyway?"

<Aleena looks at each of the shipmates.> "... shipwreck?"

<Dash ponders it.> Dash: "Was there anyone else on the ship?"

Konall: "Just Spaz."

<Spaz wakes up.>

<Aleena ponders a moment.> "A prisoner."

<Dash looks her over, frowning.>

Dash: "Hm.. how dangerous would you say he is?"

Lapine: "I just teleported to see what you guys are up to. Then tentacles, and not the good kind of tentacles either.."

Lapine: "So I have no clue if there others on the ship."

Aleena: "She is an elf, like me, dressed... like me."

Dash: "I meant Aleena's ship." <Dash looks to Aleena> "But not a twin, right?"

Aleena: "No, she has black hair, and is somewhat shorter than I."

Dash: "Good.. That'll keep this from getting too confusing."

Aleena: "Umm. What are you going to do with me?"

Konall: "Well, you can come with me. I can show you the dangers in this world."

Konall: "There's no place remotely safe for miles."

Dash: "What about the Typical Tavern?"

Aleena: "I think I'd like that. I know nothing of this ocean or the lands. But I hunt a prisoner, and if I should pick up her trail, I'd like to go after her."

Konall: "Your ship is underwater. If she survived, she's gotta make it to shore."

Dash: "I'll be heading to another part of the Kingdom along with Todd and Lapine, but Konall's the best protection the Kingdom offers." <Dash nods sagely.>

Aleena: "Thank you for shielding me from that Kraken, Konall. I appreciate it." <Aleena blushes and gives him back his arrows and quiver.> "I'm sorry I wasn't more effective with it."

Konall: "No problem. I can teach you to use it better if you like."

<Aleena pulls her helmet free, strapping it back to her hip, and smiles.> "I'd like that."

<Dash sits down, ready to get back to the mission.>

Dash: "How long do you think the poison's effects will hold?"

(It's over.)

(Okay. I'm going to wrap things up.)

(Everyone gets 2 skill points to distribute as they wish. Including Lapine and Todd. You all get 5 pounds of sushi.)

So we've got Aleena joined up with Konall, and Dash and Todd are on their way to the previous roleplay. Nice little sea battle too.

But forget that, because up next is something I'd waited quite a while to type; the twentieth roleplay for the Season Finale mission! Fittingly, since he’s worked hard on this mission, it’s a piece by Sir Fumblies.
