"So what are we planning to do? Annoying or not I don't really want to kill something that hasn't really hurt anyone." Aya frowns. Upon the world "kill" Ultros backs up "Uweeee--those nasty muscle heads have used these beautiful maidens to trick poor uncle ultros! But I'm warning you! I'm ARMED! EIGHT ARMED THAT IS! Mweeeheeeheee!" He begins thrashing around as if ready to fight the party. Aya just sighs.

Pema nodded her head. "I'm with Ms. Aya! We shouldn't attack him if he hasn't harmed anyone. I think Ultros is just misunderstood. Don't you think so, Salem?"

"Hm..." He quietly thought to himself.

"Salem?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking." He addressed his uncertainty to let Ultros leave unscathed.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4602 on:** November 10, 2015, 04:58:15 AM

Sakura sighed as she tried so hard to avoid certain words.

"Please don't Mr. Ultros we really don't want to harm you, we just want you to leave the towns people alone." Sakura continued.

"Ultros will leave since you all asked so nicely--" He begins to turn and slither off toward a path before coming to a stop. "Nooooot!" *Suddenly a barrage of tendrils whipped from each deep pool of water around the cavern swatting at the party. "Ain't I just a stinker Meeheehee!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4604 on:** November 10, 2015, 05:29:55 AM

"Eeek!" Sakura cried as one of tenticles slapped her leg and she backed away ".....Okay I'm through trying to be nice, just remember you brought on yourself!"

Sakura started throwing Kunai after electricfide Kunai from a distance while Calien decided to try chopping some tenticles with his electrified Axe.

"Ultros is being gaaaaanked!" He jumps into a pool and the tendrils that got cut quickly retreats appearing behind sakura and slapping at her rear. Aya is thankful wise to his plot and manages to jump and glide away from the pools near her current position. "Just knock him out, don't kill him!" Aya says against her better judgement.

Phi · **Reply #4606 on:** November 10, 2015, 05:41:42 AM

"Doooooodge!" Salem yelled.

Pema tried her best to do so as Ultros thrashed around his tentacles. She "backhanded" a tentacle with her staff, flipped it around to the front, and fired an ice blast which froze most of it.

"Please, you have to stop this! We don't want to hurt you!" She bellowed and rolled out of the way as one tentacle slammed down in front of her.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4607 on:** November 10, 2015, 05:55:50 AM

Ultros's damaged tendrils retreated back into the pools before reapearing behind the attacking members and made more slaps at them-some aimed less aimed to attack and more to take advantage of the chaos of battle. "G-gah what was that!" Aya yelped.

Phi · **Reply #4608 on:** November 10, 2015, 06:40:27 AM

"I should use that new technique we were working on, two weeks ago." Pema exclaimed as she blocked a tentacle.

"Are you certain? You haven't perfected it yet." Salem responded.

"Yeah, but I think now would be the best time to try it out again. You know, with all the tentacles and stuff, it's kinda sorta similar!" She pumped out her fist, rearing to go.

"You do have a point... alright, go nuts." He agreed.

She concentrated and focused her mana into the staff. However, Ultros' persistant assault proved more than a little difficult to find time to prepare the spell.

Pema quickly ducked behind a huge rock and continued to form her experimental spell. She murmered the words "constant stream of mana" over and over again under her breath.

Flame embers began to spark on top of the staff and steadily materialized into a firey whip. The make-shift whip faded and flickered a few times before she implemented more mana to stabilize the form.

She raised the staff above her head with great enthusiasm. "Pema Style: Flaming Whip! Look, Salem, I did it!"

"I'm proud of you, but you're not out of the woods quite yet. It's extremely difficult to maintain the whip formation." Salem cautioned.

Part of the flaming whip suddenly combusted and nearly burnt Pema's hand. She squeaked. "Eeep! That was close..."

"See what I mean? Keep your mana in check at all times. You need a steady, constant flow of mana to maintain the form. You're not used to doing that. Be careful, okay? I don't want to see you hurt." He explained.

Pema nodded and focused her attention on Ultros' tentacles while regulating her mana output. This just became another training session for her.

"Tentacles. Why did it have to be tentacles..." Pema said with a smirk and prepped her flaming whip, Indiana Jones style. "Let's see what this thing is made of. Hiyahh!" She lashed out the whip at some of the tentacles, successfully burning the skin on contact.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4609 on:** November 10, 2015, 07:10:47 AM

"Weeeeeeegh!" Ultros came flying out of his pool of water as the tentacle was cooked "Yaaaouch! Seafood soup is not on the menu!" He backs into the corner nursing his now deliciously cooked tentacle as the party approach. "W-Wait! Wana see something neat?" He asks his dopey grin returning.

Mr. Haxwell · **Reply #4610 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:42:30 AM

Toshi - "How 'bout no!" she replied irritatingly. Seems she's not willing to be nice this time as she reared up with another electrically charged attack from her katar.

Riyalie - "Wait, easy there, Toshi." she tried to reason with her, "Let's hear him out first, before..."

Grifter - "Cookin' him up real good, for dinner." he chimed in.

Riyalie - "N-no, that's not what I meant." she said.

Toshi - "I'm with Grifter here. Really wish I had some fire styled jutsu, for this occasion." she quipped.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4611 on:** November 10, 2015, 03:08:11 PM

"Eeeee-come now I promise you'll all like this!" He grins sucking in some air. "From me to you! IIIIIIINK!" suddenly he spits a cloud of inky stuff that quickly fills the cavern causing everyone's eyes to water and making a less then pleasant smell. "Uncle Ultros will leave but don't worry my fair maidens your hero shall return some day! Uuuuwaaaaah!" Ultros jumps back into the pool managing to slip away.

Phi · **Reply #4612 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:49:44 PM

"Uuuuwaaaaah! He got away!" Pema cried as she rubbed ink out of her eyes.

"Why are you making the same sounds as him..." Salem asked dryly.

"I was hoping to use this technique a little while longer." She ceased supplying mana flow to the flaming whip, and the flames dispersed.

"Well, if it's any consolation, you maintained the form longer than you were able to, last time." He exclaimed.

"Hmm, yeah, I think you're right." She smiled.

"So... what happens now? That Ultros creep slinked away." Salem sighed.

Mr. Haxwell · **Reply #4613 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:53:49 PM

Toshi - "We find him." she replied, trying to wash of the ink from her face, with her water jutsu, "And deal with him the moment, we get the chance." she said, looking really disgruntled with the current situation they're in.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #4614 on:** November 10, 2015, 08:57:58 PM

"Ugh I don't know, don't know if those guys would be happy with us but I don't think he'll show his face here for a while." Calien grunted as he desprately tried to rub his eyes to make the irritation subside.

Sakura not only had to deal with her eyes being irritated but her bottom being sore as well. However the worst thing about the situation was how much of an idiot she felt she was.

"I'm sorry everyone......this is all my fault......" Sakura stated while looking down and refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

Phi · **Reply #4615 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:01:31 PM

"How is this your fault?" Pema asked Sakura.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4616 on:** November 10, 2015, 09:28:37 PM

"No reason to throw blame around-that lecherous squid is gone for now at least." Aya rubs her eyes.

Fxeni · **Reply #4617 on:** November 12, 2015, 12:15:18 AM

"This stuff sucks," Fxeni states as he wipes away the ink.

Should've fried him when I had the chance... he thinks to himself as he continues to wipe away the ink.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4618 on:** November 18, 2015, 02:51:07 PM

The party return to Haven Rock, and are escorted back to headquarters of the city. Aya and the others explain their unique encounter, the commander is not as annoyed at their failure to fell the beast as they had expected however.

"So you are sure the beast has been driven off for the time being? If what you said is true this creature wasn't the threat we had believed?" The commander glances at the party who still look rather---inky.

Phi · **Reply #4619 on:** November 18, 2015, 07:48:18 PM

Salem floated forward. "Indeed, that octopus beast who called himself Ultros wasn't much of a threat, at all. He's... uh, eccentric, I'll give him that, but not particularly deadly."

"Nngh, I still feel all sticky and goopy..." Pema stated in disgust as she attempted to wipe more ink off her fingers.

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4620 on:** November 20, 2015, 03:49:29 PM

"I'll have my men keep an eye on the area incase he decides to ever return. Now I am a man of my word-in return for you're service to the city I'll permit you all to remain in Haven Rock, but not only that should such a time you decide you wish purchase property you will be permitted to do so. The owner of the local inn, an Orc named Grak will allow you a few rooms while you stay free of charge for all you have done.

Now, as for the airship-the goblin mechanics guild is currently working on fixing it up; I see no reason to take it from you-that being said if you want to help this community more come talk to me sometime.

Oh one more thing, "The Professor" I've had him take over the position of head alchemist in the merchant quarter-the position has been open since his predecessor passed away-she had two students but neither is experienced enough to run the store on their own-the position is his if you all plan to stay. As for your quest, when you are ready we can discuss that; my men have mapped out this area perhaps that might help the search.

Phi · **Reply #4621 on:** November 20, 2015, 08:34:38 PM

(Perhaps a bath break is in order, since everyone is dirty from the ink?)

Blue Valkyrie · **Reply #4622 on:** November 21, 2015, 05:12:19 AM

((Was thinking that was a good idea, I'll wait till everyone chimes in though. Think of the Inn as hour base for the time being, we'll be using this city as our hub from now on before we set out on future adventures.))

Mr. Haxwell · **Reply #4623 on:** November 21, 2015, 09:31:32 AM

(No need to wait on me. Move along once everyone's done.)

Fxeni · **Reply #4624 on:** November 21, 2015, 03:32:19 PM

"Goblin mechanics guild, huh? I'd like to speak with them sometime... once the ink is dealt with, of course," Fxeni said as he looked at the ink on him.
