"Huh."
Pushing aside all thoughts of Joseph's melodramatic story, Alex concentrated on keeping the boat steady.
"You guys...go check that out? We can lock the helm in place; we should be fine going the same direction for now." The boat lurched, and Alex turned his attention back to the delicate equipment.
"Just retreat here if you end up needing another pair of hands...

"I don't think splitting up would be a good idea to be honest. I'm willing to bet you just killed a large porpoise is all. I bet an Orca would produce that kind of thump."
"But, interestingly enough we didn't check the ship out thoroughly before hand did we... hmm... Oh well, I guess if we have to we can go check it out. I just don't know if it's wise to split our forces up when there are so few of us."
Taking his gun out Joseph checks his clip to make sure he has adequate ammunition. One clip left, 9 shots, and odds are half of them aren't going to fire; perfect. Taking the safety off he slides the gun back into his holster.
"Oh and by the way. If we did just hit an Orca, don't blame me just cause I am steering the damn thing."

"Let's go see, then. Joseph," Tristan said, looking at his comrade and turning for the door. I can only hope he's right, but... Something wasn't right about that shake. he thought, a mild grimace on his face as he walked down the stairs. Another thud shook the boat, further confirming that the first was not a mere accident. And whatever it was, Tristan and Joseph would be getting closer to it. Upon exploration, that floor would be empty. But below was the car deck, and anything could be down there...Turns away from the island: 6 | Tristan Level: 5 Class: Hunter Subclass: Skater Element: Earth HP: 225/225 SP: 150/150 Status: Fine |

Alex turned to face the exit for the control room, not wanting anything to creep up behind him. The boat was moving in jerks and lurches now, as Alex tried to keep it going while trying to remain aware of his surroundings...

Stumbling slightly and placing a hand against the wall to watch himself from falling Joseph seemed irritated.
"You know it's really fucking hard to walk when he keeps starting and stopping like that." Letting out a sigh. "Oh well, you heard that second noise I assume? Couldn't have been something we hit... We better be on our guard." Joseph gently placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"The vehicle level is pretty open to the element and it'll be pretty loud down there so you might have to try and rely on sound slightly less."
"You ready?"

Tristan nodded back at his teammate. "Ready as I'll be, which is ready enough. Let's go." He took the lead down the stairs, stopping halfway at what he saw. "There it is. A little below them writhed a giant hideous octopus, and a multicolored one at that. It looked like a hippy had a little fun and splattered psychedelic paint all over it. Clearly, this creature was a seussical minion.
It turned its big eye toward them, revealing a creepy grin. They had been spotted, and there was no turning back now.Turns away from the island: 5

"Right, so first thing first we need to get out of this stairwell, I have an idea. Just try and keep up! Oh and if you get a chance, go for his eye."
Joseph had noticed the rather large fire extinguisher on the wall directly behind the monster. Taking a step down the stairs he drew his pistol lining up his shot with the fire extinguisher and pulling the trigger, to his surprise his gun fired properly sending the round directly at the target and causing the extinguisher to detonate, covering a large area in a cloud of fire retardant haze.
[Unexpected Tactics] The Tactician makes an unexpected attack on an enemy and catches it off-guard, dealing a critical hit and disabling it for the turn. {SP: 15}
He began to move quickly down the stairs in an attempt to get to the open area of the vehicle level where he would have more room to maneuver.
//OOC I posted this seeing as Alex is on the bridge of the ship and wouldn't be involved in the combat directly unless one of us went to fetch him.

"Alright, I'll follow your lead, then." Tristan stated, running after the man down the stairwell, shielding his mouth from the haze. While they still had the upper hand, he lobbed a couple of grenades into the haze, watching as the clouds of smoke lit up. [Volley] The Hunter shoots projectile after projectile at his enemies, striking them multiple times. {SP: 35} The beast was caught off-guard as Joseph's attack was successfully made, stunned for the moment. (-23 HP) Tristan's subsequent assault surprised their foe even more, the fireworks display landing 64 points of damage. The sound of deep, terrible wailing could be heard as the mist faded.
Two seussical fishies joined Alex to play, floating up in the air. They could have easily fooled the unknowing with their stupidly cute faces, if they had not attacked. [Water Spout (Lvl. 2; Ele. water; Type: rise; S; SP: 15)] The water rose beneath Alex, giving him a distasteful bath. (-36 HP)Turns away from the island: 4

Entering onto the flat surface of the vehicle level Joseph quickly scanned around the area to make sure there were no secondary threats and positioning himself in the open so as to maximize his maneuverability. Refocusing on his initial target he attempted to check for any weaknesses while the creature was still disoriented.
Reaching under his jacket he grabbed one of his two daggers and focused in on the creature. It was a long shot, but maybe he'd get lucky and land one in the creature's eye. Reaching his arm back he quickly threw the dagger towards the beast and drew his rapier; it might get a little rough if that thing gets much closer.

Damn...
Alex released control of the boat slowly, so as not to break anything, and turned his attention to the fish.
"Stupid fishies."
Alex muttered a bit of nonsense and thrust his wand in the direction of the floating fish.

As the effects of the explosion dissipated, Tristan saw that their foe still stood. "As expected... Nonetheless." The creature in front of them did seem to be suffering a bit now, though. He took solace that at least their attacks were doing something. No need to just stand here, though... he thought, lobbing in two more grenades. [Double Strike] The Hunter attacks with two projectiles instead of one, dealing twice of the normal damage. {SP: 15} Joseph's dagger merely scathed the outer skin of the crazypuss, a small bit of shiny blood leaking from within. (-9 HP) Tristan's attack was more successful, but not by much. The crazypuss attempted to knock the grenades away with its tentacles; they exploded on impact, but did relatively less damage than they would have. (-29 HP) Alex's spell, on the other hand, executed splendidly. The chunk of earth slammed into the fish, knocking them for 47 damage.
With a temperamental roar, the crazypuss lashed out with its tentacles. One easily slammed into Joseph, sending him careening into the wall of the ship. (-49 HP) Another slammed into the stomach of Tristan, leaving him breathless with 34 damage.
The fishies didn't take too kindly to the attacks of Alex, either. This time, their attack was a bit more vicious. Their mouths opened to reveal tiny sharp fangs, which they used to tear into Alex like a couple of piranhas. (-43 Hp)Turns away from the island: 4
