[QUOTE="talien, post: 5010077, member: 3285"] [b]Isles of the Damned: Part 4c – Crystal Lake Island[/b] Complete chaos engulfed the Naoke. First it was the two-headed giants. A second later, a four-armed gorilla showed up. Then a huge leopard with tentacles grafted to its flesh and a wolverine with bony plates jutting from its forehead. “We can’t take them all on at once!” Vlad parried the whip-crack of one of the leopard’s tentacles with his shield. “There’s too many!” Beldin rolled beneath one of the giants and cut its leg out from under it. Its howl was cut off by Windcutter chopping through its throat. “Bah! I’ll take care of the giants, you take care of the rest!” Sebastian pointed at the wolverine. “[FONT="Impact"]Demitte resisto![/FONT]” Nothing happened. “If that was supposed to do something, it didn’t!” Kham took aim at the wolverine and fired. A chunk of fur and flesh blew off the beast, but it kept coming at Vlad. “I was assaying their weaknesses,” Sebastian said calmly from his position over the deck. “Watch: [FONT="Impact"]radius incensio![/FONT]” Three spiraling beams of fire sliced into the wolverine, engulfing it in flames. It was all Vlad could do to keep it on the other side of his shield. One of the giants batted three sailors right off the deck with a sweep of its club. Beldin hacked downward, splitting another giant’s foot in half. It swung clumsily at him and missed as he rolled out of the way, smashing into its remaining companion. The second giant fell overboard from the blow. As the giant bent down to grab its foot, Beldin smacked it with the flat side of Windcutter, bowling it over off the deck’s railing. He was about to turn on the wolverine when the huge gorilla grabbed him with all four of its arms. Kham blurred into existence behind it. “I’ve got it!” He pointed one of his pistols and fired. Instead of blastpowder, a hailstorm of multicolored crystals disintegrated the gorilla’s head. The headless body fell to the deck, twitching. “When did you learn to do that?” asked Beldin. “Behind you!” shouted Kham. Tentacles snapped towards Beldin but were stopped short by ghostly jaws that clamped tight on them, holding the mutated leopard’s limbs at bay. It resorted to its mauling the dwarf instead, its three pairs of claws scratching at his shield. “They’re immune to magic,” said Sebastian. “I can’t stop them all!” Kham smirked. “I can.” He blurred again sideways, far faster than he had ever walked between worlds in Carcosa. He appeared behind the leopard. Before it could turn to face him, a thicket of crystals appeared in the air and flensed the flesh from the creature’s right side. Its ribcage was bare of fur, revealing white bone beneath. Kham pointed and the creature’s corpse was shoved off deck by an invisible force. Vlad finally turned the tables on the wolverine. He stabbed it through the throat, pinning it to the deck with Grungronazharr. After a minute of screeching and scrabbling, the mutated wolverine finally lay still. Sebastian landed on the deck. “I think it’s time we had a talk about what exactly the Leviathan Pistol did to you Kham. You’re acting strange...” WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP. “Son of a BITCH!” shouted Vlad.
