Empires of Ashes

Vulka: well all but the old badger. but hes busy

"Who?"

Vulka: jarl olaf also known as the old badger for his temperment, clan and age

Hana:...ah

OOC. ....gorath, you do realise that your presence is kind of important for everything in Heretic Hunting, right? O.o

Chillout i just woke up

*With the village now under Cymraic control, they begin putting the nobles and slave owners to the sword, causing the slaves to rejoice at their newfound freedom*

Vulka:but yes all 12 of the other jarls pluse the leader of the golden band will be at the moot

"Well....this suddenly became more anxiety inducing"

Vulka: ever meat a jarl in person?

"you're the first thengul I've ever actually spoken to"

Vulka: well then your in for a treat (time skip a few days) Winds been good were inly 4 days away from the talon at this rate. you can see it on the distance

Hana is out on deck, looking bored

Vulka: careful ya domt lean to far out kracken might get ya

she chuckles
there's a rumble

Vulka: o was serieous, and the hell is that rumbling

they hear an ear splitting crack from the nearest ship
Hana: 0.o

OOC: *Followed by the prow of a Cymraic warship severing the Thengul longship in two*

Ooc: longships take more then one ram to spilt it if your attacking head on.
IC: Vulka: STATIONS LADS WE HAVE TROUBLE

OOC: I have slightly more modern vessels.....I'd also hit the side because it takes a special type of captain to ram the strongest part of a ship.

OOC thengul ships are some of the best and fair point

the ship is suddenly impaled from beneath by what looks like a giant horn/cone

Vulka: shit sea unicorn GRAB HARPOONS AND GET TO THE BOATS THE SHIPS SPEARED

OOC Fucking goodwill ads

Hana:....WHAT

the horn begins to retract

Vulka: ITS A FUCKING ARROW KRAKEN WE HAVE TO KILL IT BEFORE IT DESTROYS THE FLEET

the tentacles burst up inside the hole the 'horn' made
Hana looks at vulka, clearly with no idea what to do

Vulka grabs her and pulls he rinto one of the many smaller boats grabing a jagged looking harpoon and throwing it into a tenticle
Vulka: MOVE
others are evacuating the ship and throwing harpoons at either the cone or the tenticles

OOC: the majority of the Cymraic fleet are similar if not identical to longships used by the Thegul, but with the Prince's coming of age and thus installation as the new Lord Admiral, the Cymraic navy has had an influx of radical designs. The most successful of which is their new flagship: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Charles_Galley_(1676)
/\ A 'Galley Frigate' basically a Sixth rate with a row of oars below the gun deck.
The flagship is pretty much the same minus the cannons because I'm not allowed cannons.

she pulls out a Yuri and looses a shot or two

Ooc fun fact yuri is girl x girl art
IC: The ships spread out firing harpoons out if balista into the water and into the cone heavy chains securing them as more are shot into the beast
Vulka: arrows arnt going to help much unless you hit its eye. (throws another harpoon)

*yumi
my bad
IC "....great"

Vulka: good news is they never travel in pairs

"...helpful"

The smaller boats reach other longships and vulka helps hana aboard "grab a balista"

"...trust me, i'd be more use hacking at it"

Vulka: You dont want to get close to it while its constricting (they fire flame pots at it trying to kill it)

before hana can respond a tentacle wraps around her leg and pulls, causing her to fall and start being dragged towards the water

*Meanwhile, back with the expedition, they bury their dead (3 Brigardi fell in battle), gather their things, and set out.*

Mako approaches Joachim

Joachim: Yes?

Mako: Joachim....I'm sorry

Joachim: Apology accepted.

Mako:....thanks *she's clearly surprised*

Joachim: What were you expecting? Me to still be furious?

Mako: partially

Joachim: You turned back. You managed to save the majority of the captives without being a total fool. I can't fault that given the situation.

"..Thanks"

*He simply nods.*

she smiles

*Skip to them arriving at the next town.*
