I try to remain calm, reloading my pistol. She just keeps smiling, doesn’t look like she considers herself in a hurry. I point at one of the closest masked goons and shoot him in the face. The rest try to charge against me, but she holds them off, with a slightly interest smile in her face now.

I try to remember how I felt back in the prison, when the sphere started to glow for the first time. I can’t say that I felt especially good. Yeah, loyal I guess, but all I can remember is it being rather gloomy, dark, with all the catacombs, traps and old, dead skeletons left and right. But I gotta keep buying time, so I try to keep her talking. She stares at me intently now, with her hand up like she’s about to smite me.

“So what is it, then? Loyalty? Selflessness powers?“

That actually seems to get her a bit by surprise, as she lowers her hand and doesn’t shoot me with another painful discharge, instead she laughs with that maniac laugh of hers.

“Ahaahah! I can’t believe it! What do you think this is, some old lady’s bedtime tale? What are you going to say next!? True love? Kisses!? AHahahah! I’m almost sorry I’m gonna have to end with this buffoonery and kill you, you’re proving to be quite entertaining, cutie!”

Gloom. Spookiness. Dread. Thoughts of death.

Also zap the shit out of her, the orb's charged.

I guess you gotta kill stuff. or be desperate. I suggest you do both, just to be sure. and try to blast her as soon as you can.

"Woman, come on this has the chance of being the funnest fight of your life. Why don't you even the chances a little? We all die someday, don't we? Shouldn't that be the most amusing day of our lives, ideally?"

>>404140
It's charged. Smoke 'em.

it had a black light last time. it's white now. it seems to draw from different sources.

stab another guy. 'how boring. you've given up humiliating me.'

Ask for a round of applause.

Your arm sure is glowy.

“How boring. You've given up humiliating me.”

I think I might’ve figured it out. I lunge towards another one of the goons and slit his throat with the dagger. The rest of the mob is conflicted between attacking me and following the bitch’s orders. Also it sounds like a fight has started at their rearguard, maybe the city guards finally catching up. Can’t see from here.

The witch seems to be less amused now.

“Actually I agree, this is getting boring. Let’s wrap things up.”

“Woman, come on this has the chance of being the funnest fight of your life. Why don't you even the -ACK!”

T-this isn’t good...

you are at full power!
MOONSTONE CANON, FIRE!!

I think your ball is charged now... Aim it at her head.

YOUR LAZORS ARE CHARGED

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO SOLDIER

YOU ARE FULLY CHARGED

>>404886
She's got terrible aim, that shot didn't hit anything vital.

Shoot back. Take off her good arm.

shining finger !

do it

Arm? No, take off her head.

>>405093

heads are tiny, rapidly moving targets. go for the center of mass, I say.

>>405151
Yeah.

I...I raise my arm and focus on the feeling of... anger... dread? I don’t know, I think it’s just sheer power, something huge, terrible squirming like a trapped beast at the end of my stump.

Or maybe it’s just the blood loss...

AAaaarrgh!

I... I think I hit her... I’m not sure. And I think I’ve been hit again. I’m starting to lose focus... fading away...

>>405672

stay awake! Viktorbird and Hammerhips are here to sweep you away. just kill the wizard harder and you'll be free soon.

Was that your hip? I think that was your hip. Groan in agony and fall over.

Try to keep shooting, though.

pass out i guess !

Focus your will, remain awake. Your life depends on it.

oh man take a magic morning after pill so you don't get magic pregnant from that.

I continue focusing... as long as I can. I don’t know if I’m still shooting HER, the energy seems to drift and jump around me, targeting the masked men... The longer I keep it up, the worse I feel. It’s like my life is getting sucked out of my body... but those might be just the wounds... I’m not gonna stay conscious much longer...

“M-mein...”

“It’s ok, Cap’n, I got ya. Sorry about the delay, next time you might not want to crash our ride against a wall.”

I don’t even have the energy to give a witty answer. I think I’m just going to pass out...

...Burnt...ever seen something like this in m...that gem...

...on’t care...our guts out...seen you...

Oh

Hey

You don’t want to be here. Get out.

“Hey, I think she’s waking up. I think I saw her move...”

First concern: Is everything still attached?

Second concern: Are you still (somewhat) clothed?

Third concern: Where is your stuff?

Last concern: Where are you?

>>407618
Do you still remember your name?

>>407621
This.

sleep. rest. recover.

You don't sound dead. Guess you won. Hurrah!

I wonder if you got to keep your kidney and small intestine? Well, even if you can't eat solid food for awhile, you did it! You survived when you shouldn't have!

press buttons

cop a feel, it is the only thing i can think of during a black out.

I open my eyes to realize with relief that I’m in my room at the ship, resting on my own bed. My back hurts, and my lower torso does so too, but it’s not as bad as I expected, more like a numb annoyance. I still feel pretty weak, and just turning my head around feels like a titanic effort.

Meinir is here, and also... oh boy, Doctor. Meinir seems to notice my concern, because she smiles and tries to sound reassuring.

“Welcome back cap’n. Don’t worry, I’ve been watching over Creepo here the whole time, and made sure he didn’t take anything out as a souvenir.”

Doctor groans, annoyed, but not particularly indignant. We’re all too aware of his reputation for that.

“Ahem! As I was going to say... Your recovery is astonishing, captain. You’ve got two holes the size of a ChickenChoke* ball in your hips. Don’t know what made them, but they should’ve pulverized bones and organs in their way out. That added to the massive blood loss, should’ve been enough to do you over. But instead, you’ve only got but mild hip fractures. If we find a competent flesh wizard, you’ll be up in no time.

Meinir pushes Doctor out of the room and decides to tell me what happened when I blacked out.

“Well, I don’t know how did you do it, but you managed to burn down every house around you, and all those masked assholes that were after us. I found you in the middle of that circle of glowing fire, bleeding and babbling nonsense.”

“What about that bitch in black robes? Did I kill her?”

“Don’t know. I guess? There was nobody else with you when I got ya, just flames...”

“... So, what have you planned to do next? We’ve already left the city, I don’t think the people of Livi are very happy with us after that huge fight and the houses burning and all that.”

Ugh... I’d rather not have to make my mind now, I still feel pretty crappy. But I guess you can’t afford that when you’re the captain. The wizard dude at the Guild told me to go to Ovrare, where maybe the wizards can inform me about this gem... Or I could swallow my pride and prepare to reopen all the old wounds and head back home, visit my family and ask the wise men of The Ninoth about it. They’re probably the most powerful mystics alive...

So I gotta decide. Also should I ask Meinir about anything else?


*Popular ball game in the Free Islands with a very complex set of rules that involve twenty rubber balls, thirty players, about a hundred chickens and large wooden clubs.

a sport involving a hundred chickens is a sport i can get behind :v

i cant think of anything to ask. head back to make some connections with the wise men for whatever its worth

>>408358
>Ovrare >wizards >want a flesh wizard
That way.

Also give Manny a pat on the head.

Might want to ask her if she got out okay as well, considering that you were in a huge fight and crashed a bird/bug thingy into a wall. It would only be polite.

Afterwards, maybe some cuddling, followed by going to Ovrare. Also think about how you managed to use the orb even though it apparently needed charging. So you either have magic or something else is going on.

>>408380
think we sucked in the life force of the people we killed.

Ovrare.

>>408358
Ask if Meinir stowed that bird-moth onboard somewhere.
Ask if the mantis was there the entire surgery.
Ask if the orb is still stuck to your hook hand.
Ask if she got your gun for you.
Ask if she could get wizard in here to see if she's got any magic still clinging.

“Are you ok? I don’t remember a thing after I slammed that bird-bug thing against the wall.”

“Yeah, you got the worst of the impact and fell down. I couldn’t catch you, barely managed to stay on the Birdril myself. And before you ask, the thing seems to have grown fond of us, for some reason. It’s following us, sleeping on the mast when it gets tired. I guess we’ve got ourselves a pet.”

I nod and pet Manny’s head gently. The mantis happily nibbles on my fingers, gently.

“Did Manny stay here the whole surgery?”

“Your mantis? That’s funny, I didn’t notice it until you mentioned. I didn’t see him come in, so I guess he was.”

“Is the orb still stuck in-- yes it is.. *sigh* of course it is. Did you get my gun?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“Ok, tell the first mate that we’re going to Ovrare.”

I can’t help but to let a bit of relief tinct my voice. Meinir, of course, notices it.

“You can’t be running away from your family forever.”

“I know, I know! I just don’t want to go there unless it’s my last alternative, ok?”

“Alright, don’t worry. Now, you should get some rest, so lean back and relax.”

…

“Hmm,,, not sure if this counts as “relaxing”.

“shush...”

happy end.

>>409386
Silly Meinir, you can't straddle a bed-stricken lady and have her enjoy it, that's teasing!

learn magic, become kitty wizard, use orb more effectively.
