  1. [20:13] {NARRATION} They'd have to descend far into the depths now in order to reach the outpost. Through the darkness of the vast and seemingly infinite ocean around them, the only light came from their own sources, illuminating only a small radius around them. Everyone could feel the growing pressureas they sank further and further down, and as uncomfortable as it was, Sugarboy's potions did the trick.
  2.  
  3. However long it was until their feet hit the constructed stone was vague, given the road here was not an easy one. But amidst the shadows and currents they could all tell that Kuhn's coordinates were spot on; the dive spot landed the entire group right before what appeared to be a stone sanctuary carved into the coral and deep sea formations.
  4.  
  5. Elegant, Atlantian architecture and designs marked the outside where the lights were cast, and right ahead alone the cobbled walkway were two, large stone doors...
  6.  
  7. That were crumbling and broken.
  8. [20:21] It had been a while since the shark had sank this far down into the sea. And while the mounting pressure may not affect him as thoroughly as it would the others, he can certainly feel it just as well. Though it isn't enough to keep that shark-toothed grin of his from spreading across his features once their feet reaches the Atlantian stone.
  9.  
  10. "This is the place. But from here on out, we're going in blind." He glances over to Epsilon for a moment, contemplating the use of the term 'double-blind'. He decides not to. "I won't give you the typical speech of 'stay on your toes and remain alert'. Instead I'll tell you that whatever caused this outpost to go silent isn't something to take lightly."
  11.  
  12. He pushes forward, his movements a mixture of walking and swimming from time to time. Eyes study just about any and everything placed before them, but once the broken doors are spotted, the Siren bites on his lower lip.
  13.  
  14. "Mital. Epsilon. Let's see about pulling these doors open and reserving as much energy as we can. Sugar, Kane? Keep an eye out." Both of his hands raise up soon after as he aims to take hold of one of the doors with his telekinetic might and pull it backwards.

  16. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  17.  
  18. [20:23] Mithril greaves met the stone walk way as Sugarboy sank to the bottom. Bubbles would leave his lips as he whistled, impressed by the atlantian architecture.
  19.  
  20. Yo, I should build something like this for my next house.
  21.  
  22. His mana would take hold of the water around him and he'd begin walking around with ease as if he were on land. In fact, he found it significantly easier to move in his armor as he could just rely on his magic to control his movements through the water rather than having to divide his focus on using muscle and magic alike.
  23.  
  24. He'd offer a nod to the chief who lead the expedition. He'd shrink the bubble of water that gave him fine control over an area to expand his senses. Sight would do them little good in the dark depths, But Sugarboy would feel the fish that swam about, the seaweed drifting in the currents.
  25.  
  26. If a fish farted, he would know.

  30. (A bunch of stuff happens inbetween, can provide logs on request)
  31.  
  32. [23:55] {NARRATION} The fight ended.
  33.  
  34. The entire time, Gaial had been laughing back. She had focused Kuhn in the beginning, aiming to make the Prince bend the knee, but soon she found something resonating with the pyromancer way out his element.
  35.  
  36. One blast of the arcane forward, another reflecting, rebounding off of it to send her back-
  37.  
  38. It was only a matter of time until he had bested her. She didn't need to say anything, Gaial knew what was coming. She looked up at his outstretched hand with maddened, excited eyes. There was no fear in those black pupils, no regret or disappointment in herself.
  39.  
  40. The three other nodes were still alight, and so she welcomed the fire with open arms. The rest of her cult had fallen, and now so to, did she.
  41.  
  42. Not a second later the nodes exploded on their own, sending out a sonic wave that shook the stone walls and water within. It grew in pitch as it continued outward from the epicenter, and for a minute, all was still and quiet.
  43.  
  44. Until the ceiling shuddered once. Twice.
  45.  
  46. Cracks spread across the walls, webbing outward until--
  47.  
  48. BOOM.
  49. [00:10] {NARRATION} The outpost caved in.
  50.  
  51. Something was tearing it apart. Treasure was launched into the water, fired within arms reach of the party while the pressure rose and fell with the ceiling crumbling down upon them.
  52.  
  53. Gaial had made a promise, and she'd made good on her word.
  54.  
  55. It was only after a massive tentacle was coming down upon Kuhn that Kane jumped in front of it at the last second, saving his Chieftain from certain doom. The boy couldn't take the hit though, his left arm was absolutely crushed beneath the great limb.
  56.  
  57. Kuhn himself was launched back into a stone pillar by the shockwave, and despite being adept at swimming, the impact still broke quite a few ribs, or more than a few...
  58.  
  59. They needed to get out, that much was for certain, but as they swam the water became thick with poison and muck. Even with Sugarboy's potions and the of whatever else, Epsilon and Mital were infected with the aquatic disease.
  60.  
  61. It was only once they saw an opening that the group could manage to see it, whatever IT was. But before they could exit something fired upward from beneath them; a pressure bubble exploding upward. It would have torn Mital in half had Sugarboy not drug him out of the way, but the poor alchemist couldn't move his own body in time.
  62.  
  63. His leg was sent spiraling into the darkness of the ocean after being torn off by the current.
  64.  
  65. Blood pooled around them while their injuries took affect, and towering completely within the wreckage of the outpost was none other than the Leviathan the Priestess had called.
  66. [00:16] ** TattlesDM has inflicted an injury upon Sugarboy. ("Removed Left Leg", "Sugarboy lost his left leg in a heroic act of saving Mital from death. A pressurized pocket of air launched upward from the depths of the ocean during their dive and it tore off the friendly alchemist's leg, leaving him crippled but maybe proud.", "Permanent", "Severity: MODERATE (-20 Vit)") **
  67. [00:28] And just as the potions were passed out, the building was coming down. Sugarboy would use his mastery over water to deftly dodge and push aside debris to keep himself safe, but he sensed the presence of the beast even before it reared it's ugly face.
  68.  
  69. He felt as the leviathan launched the pocket of air, he wasn't thinking at all as instinct took over. "WATCH IT, CHI-" A mithril boot dug into Mital's midsection as he was kicked out of the way, the leg blown asunder and lost to the sea, like so many other things in Sugarboy's life.
  70.  
  71. Bubbles would rupture forward as he lost grip of his magic for a moment as he screamed in agony, muffled by the water. Adrenaline would course through his veins as he regained control, his breathing heavy as blood poured from the missing limb. He'd force it to coagulate for the moment, so he didn't bleed out for the upcoming fight.
  72.  
  73. He'd begin to float rather than walk as he did before, no longer having the necessary equipment to do so. An anger would be seen in his eyes as he raised his palms to the sea creature, ready to take it's life as well.
  74. (Sugarboy)
