Arkae Zellar IN THIS CORNER:

Pirates. Just an entire ship full of pirates, spiced up with a few elites taken from across the multiverse.

IN THE OTHER CORNER: The group from 'The Best Multiversal Tavern Crawl Ever'. It's turned out to maybe not be the best ever, given that they were press-ganged by pirates at the end of it.

It is ill suited to the DM to put words or feelings in their PC's mouths, but in this case it is quite safe to say that they are pissed. You've been drugged, press-ganged, threatened repeatedly, tied up, forced to work, forced to fight, tricked, betrayed, and marooned. And most distressingly, the pirates have all of the treasure that you worked so hard for.

Maybe the Concord group could let all the rest of it go, write it off, but there's a whole boatload of treasure providing the sweet topping to their revenge sundae.

THE GIMMICK FOR THIS FIGHT

You are fighting an entire pirate ship's structure, defenses, and crew as one aggregate 'health bar', but going after specific parts of it will make things easier... or harder.

By default you are going up against a +boss/serious fight. This is not an insurmountable challenge, but it is one you have a chance of losing. Making smart moves and taking advantage of opportunities may lead to guaranteed hits from you, misses from the ship, or the DM foregoing +pushes that might have otherwise gone into effect, all of which will make your victory significantly more likely.

To start you off with a hint, consider the battlefield to have three zones: 'far range' in the sky, 'mid range' in the immediate airspace/sea space around the ship, and 'close range' is actually setting foot on deck. Your physical position in regard to those three zones (If you're far, close, or actually on the ship) may affect which opportunities open up. Good luck!

The flying elites close in on the ship. What's the plan?
Bowser BOWSER IS INCREDIBLY PISSED OFF.

On the horizon, there is a white circle with a smiley clown face. Below it, the tiny propeller thrums away with a 'thup thup thup', carrying its occupants with ease. At the front, Bowser stands, holding onto the rim, staring down at the boat through the eyepatch as they start bearing down.

"HEY! HEY!" Bowser doesn't understand the element of surprise. He merely bellows at the top of his lungs down at the boat. "I WAS GOING TO GET A COMMERATIVE PIRATE TATTOO FOR HOW CLOSE WE WERE GETTING, BUT NOW YOU PISSED ME OFF! SO I'M GOING TO TAKE YOUR GOSH DARNED BOAT AND KICK YOUR BUTT!"

He reaches down, fishing into the Kar, and comes up with a handful of spherical Bom-ombs. He hands one to everyone.
Katt Katt is not in a great mood.

The drinking part was fun. The press-gang part was not. She was cheap shot while she was drugged, tied up, forced to fight (that part wasn't so bad; she probably would have gone along with it had they just asked) and eventually left on an island with a bomb, presumably to kill them, while the ship ran away.

That part is the part that got her really mad. Which is why, currently:

Katt is hanging onto the back of Bowser's Klown Kar... sideways, as she is using one hand and one foot to hold herself in. The other hand is busy holding her staff, while her other foot dangles, occasionally dangerously close to a propeller.

"Drive closer! I want to hit them with my staff!"

Katt cannot accept a Bob-Omb because she is out of hands to do that with. She swings her staff at it instead, smashing it like a baseball bat and sending it flying in the general direction of the ship while the recoil causes her to swing wildly behind the Kar.
Arcadia Arcadia had just dealt with taking a bomb-trapped chest exploding to the proverbial face to keep it out of range of harming her party. That and the fall afterwards didn't hurt her too much because of her armor and it's magitek wards, but she still needed a chance to recover from it, and the lingering effects of all the loud noises on her increasingly less addled head. So she appreciates the Koopa Uber.

The cramped conditions of the interior of the Koopa Kar, not quite so appreciated. The things we do for avenging being double-crossed and ditched by pirates that should of been more careful about who they picked up from drunk/drugged bar crawls.

Once they're getting in range of the Wormwood the sphinx has to climb out of the vehicle. Literally. And just as literally climb partway up Bowser's shell (the spikes do make convenient if dangerous handholds) to get enough space clear of the Klown Kar to spread her wings and deploy hyperglass-powered thrusters. "Pardon me, your Dread Highness." At least she's polite about it.

One of the offered Bob-ombs is cackled at as she snatches it up. "Small, cute and deadly, I love it!" And then takes off.

Most of the others are going to take time to get into full fighting range, so Arcadia takes the oppritunity to use her speed and give them a little opening. As she cruises over the ship she lobs the explosive minion at the main deck in an effort to scatter the crew from getting their defenses situated.
Sumiko Earlier...

Mikoto looks up from her phone to notice the 'Klown Kar' and she shrugs.  Well, it'll have to do, she guesses.  

Now, squeezed to one side and looking VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, she is in a frowny face state.  When Bowser moves he squashes her against one side of the kar itself.  This is very uncomfortable, and the only advantage it offers is the fact that when her eyes glow a shade of green, she manages to take some of that toughness he has for herself.  Giving her some breathing room.

This combined with getting a shot to watch Arcadia go.  When they get close she dangles off the edge of the thing as some changes happen.  Magical SPARKLES cover her, giving her a spiky shell, and some bird-like wings made out of what looks like phantasm-material.  So basically glossier and magic pixie dust.

Flipping out into the air after dripping, and gripping her jade sword she thrusts it down into the very air itself.  A magic symbol appears, as from the ocean itself, her aid arrives.  Various sea creatures, made out of the same stuff as her current accessories, start hitting the side of the pirate ship.  Aiming to try and knock the unweary overboard.

She pulls out her phone and plays a song on repeat.
Arkae Zellar Bowser's lack of surprise tactics is indeed very Bowser. It also lets the pirate ship know that they're coming.

"You idiots!" yells Captain Harrigan. "They can fly! They're nearly upon us! Fire the cannons, on my orders!"

There's a scramble of activity on the hull. Katt's wildly-launched bomb-omb impacts against the side, doing a bit of structural damage but not hitting anything important. Arcadia's bomb and Mikoto's summoned creatures hit the scrambling crew, throwing them into disarray.

"OPEN FIRE!"

The cannons on the side of the ship open up, launching a barrage of cannonballs towards the occupants of the Klown Car. Unlike some of the ship's other defenses and defenders, these are plain old piratey iron cannonballs - but they don't need to be anything special to be effective. If they hit, the Klown Car gets sent teetering - in danger of crashing into something!

"And you, do your job!" bellows Harrigan.

The fly fisher sighs. "Splashy, I choose you! Use TACKLE!"

A goofy looking flying fish tries to smack into Arcadia and then Mikoto, tyring to knock them off course!
Bowser Bowser puts out a hand.

The cannon ball hits it dead on, sending the Klown Kar back by sheer force. Pivoting his body, he pushes the Klown Kar back to suddenly steady it in mid air. When the smoke clears, Bowser is still holding the cannon ball. He is feeling a bit singed around the fingers from the hot ball, but he plays it off as nothing, holding the cannon ball over his head. "ALRIGHT! I WAS GOING TO WAIT TO DO THIS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS MY WAY NOW! I AM GOING TO BE THE CAPTAIN OF THAT SHIP! AND I AM GOING TO TIE MASTER SCOURGE INTO A FUNNY SHAPED PRETZEL! AND THEN I'M GOING TO DRINK GROG, WHATEVER THAT IS!"

The cannon ball goes over one shoulder in a disdainful toss. Instead, Bowser dips down into his Kar and comes out hoisting an iron sphere as big as he is. He gives it a fierce lob, letting gravity do the work as it hurdles up in an arc at the Wormword. He tries not to hit the clock, he wants that clock.
Sumiko Mikoto attempts to manuever herself in just a way where she can focus her next attack, but also try and mitigate damage.  The downside is that she can't avoid the attack, but she can somewhat blunt the Magikarp attacking.  Grunting with effort, she forces herself back and tries to ride the force of the attack just enough to keep moving.

This time, she focuses her animals to try and leap onto the ship itself.  This includes various creatures like octopi and squid to literally leap out and attempt to grapple various people, INCLUDING those manning cannons.  Well, specifically those manning cannons.

Meanwhile, she turns towards the Fisherman.  "So what are they holding over you to make you compliant?  If it's just loyalty, I'll kill you now and make this easier for both of us."
Katt Katt's wild swing left her ... well, swinging, behind the Kar. She decides to take advantage of that, swinging herself back with great vigor, then forward. Back, forward... she's working up some momentum, though this is causing the Klown Kar to rock dangerously while she does it.

And then she releases! Her path describes an arc toward the Wormwood, Katt tucking into a somersaulting flip.

It would have worked perfectly if there was not a cannonball in the way. With the speed she has, she's a hard target, but if some lucky gunner actually hits her, it hurts. A lot.

Katt almost skips off the cannonball, but it wasn't very voluntary; she is still aimed at the Wormwood, but at a slightly different angle and in a lot more pain than she was hoping for. She remains tucked into a tight ball as she begins to descend, picking up even more speed...

Katt hits the deck with the force of... well, a cannonball. She might actually go through the first deck and end up on the interior of the Wormwood if she's particularly (un)lucky. But she's definitely here now!
Arcadia For as doofy as it looks, that fish is surprisingly effective. Or Arcadia underestimated it despite seeing it slam in the side of ship earlier, because she was partially convinced that was due to being hungover and remembering it in an exaggerated fashion. Probably a bit of both.

The point of the matter is the Magikarp slams into her gut about as effectively as a cannonball would of, reeling her backwards voilently until she backflips and realigns herself to restabilize her flight. Mutters and rubs her midsection. "Guess that wasn't a hallucination."

Annoying as that was, Arcadia knows the fisher guy is just as forced into this as they were earlier, so she's not going to hold it against him or his pet -too- much. The ship and it's jerkass crew are still the main target.

Arcadia deploys her magitek funnelbits, but as they scatter they don't actually point at the ship. Instead they point down? Elemental energy surges through them, drawing from the salty sea air and spinning it into cyclonic pillars. You know what happens when you have tornados over the water?

You get water spouts, that's what. The churning vortices of air hit the ground and suck water up into their swirling masses and send it lashing out to batter the ship as the whirlwind bits cycle around the craft. More dangerously, they're stirring up the water itself, making higher waves to batter against the craft as well, potentially rocking it and making it harder to keep those cannons and other weapons aiming accurately.
Arkae Zellar The iron ball slams into the side of the pirate ship, and bounces off with only surface-level damage.

"FIRE!" The cannons ring out again, launching at Bowser once more. The cannon crew seems to be trying to focus the koopa car and it's big angry turtle pilot down... but with Mikoto's and Arcadia's interference, the barrage is staggered and the crew's aim is more shaky! (Attack downgraded! Push denied!)

Katt's incoming cannonball meets head on with Master Scourge, who swings at her with his robot arm!

It is, in fact, a detached arm that he stole from a robot and is swinging like a melee weapon, as some may have guessed. It crackles with some form of electricity!

"He's got my Lady! I'm sorry! SPLASHY, use TACKLE!" yells the fisherman.

There's another round of spirited tackling from the goofy looking fish. It's really starting to get annoying, and making it hard to aim!
Arcadia That fish may be tough, but it only having one Damage dealing attack is going to not be in its favor. Makes it a predictable pattern, and attack patterns is what Arcadia excels at dealing with!

Splashy hurtles at her again, and this time the sphinx spirals sideways, diving between two of the waterspouts made by her options. The Magikarp only glances off of her before being pushed away by air swirling around the watery pillars. While Arcadia emerges between them and comes to hover above the main deck near the Fisherman.

"So who or what is Lady?" she asks, somewhat off-handedly. Because there's pirates all over the place. So even while she's asking that she's firing off magic lasers at various pirates while waiting for an answer, and again not directly attacking the annoying fish or it's gang-pressed master.
Bowser Again, Bowser catches the first cannonball. "HAH! DON'T YOU LOSERS G-" A cannonball hits him in the open mouth. Several more cannon balls hit him in the face and chest, making his arms flail in circles and the Koopa Kar flounder downward.

"OW! ALRIGHT, I AM TIRED OF THIS STUFF, LET'S DO THIS LIKE BIG MEN!"

The Kar comes inward and Bowser pulls the cutlass from his teeth. It hurtles in at the ship, "Harrigan! You big wimparuni! Come out and fight me!" The copter thups over the ship and Bowser leaps down onto it, brandishing it around with an unsteady wave.

With his free hand, he casually side jabs The Fisherman.
Arkae Zellar "Lady is my Goldeen! They trapped her in the captain's cabin and they're threatening to fry her if I don't do what they - ugh."
Katt Katt, still all curled up into a ball for maximum impact force, is swatted by Scourge.

She rolls about a yard away before she catches herself, using her staff to lever herself to her feet in a flash. Her fur is frizzy from the electrical shock, giving her tail a fluffed-out look and the fur on her legs standing on end, and she seems a little unsteady for a moment until she grounds herself on a convenient rope cleat.

Katt has taken a lot of abuse today. Being drugged and battered and tied up, plus the impacts in this fight - but she still has enough spirit to throw herself toward Scourge, delivering an increasingly rapid series of strikes as she picks up whirling momentum.

"You total piece of crap! You won't even fight us fair! You drugged us, had your pirates rough us up while we were out, and tried to blow us up with a bomb and leave us on a deserted island! Fight me like you mean it!"

Katt emphasizes her strikes by yelling. It doesn't always make a whole lot of sense but it makes her feel better, and at a bare minimum it ensures that Scourge is going to have a lot of trouble focusing on anyone but her without getting an even worse beating.
Sumiko Mikoto gets a plan in her head, even as her squids are caught and killed.  Poor things!  

She asks Arcadia to go after Lady.  Rescuing her would turn the tides of this fight a bit in their favor.  Bowser is going for Harrigan...which is a good thing for her plan.  It means he's going to have a harder time ordering the men.  

"Stop complaining about the PIRATES not fighting fair.  Geeze, next you'll complain that water is wet and ice is cold!" she shoots back towards Katt.  Seriously, why complain about the nature of things.  Her blade comes to hand, and she looks towards the Fisherman.  "We'll free your Lady, but I understand you still gotta do what you gotta do to keep her safe."

Mikoto, instead, flies way up into the air.  Another symbol is shown as a dangerous amount of crystal is swung from her height towards the bridge of the ship, trying to cause as much havoc among the men as she can.  
Arkae Zellar "FIRE!"

There's a barrage of cannonfire again - now at Mikoto, who's up in the sky!

Bowser jabs the fisherman in the side. Since he's just a normal human, he goes down.

SPLASHY waits for an order. "Karp?"

"Just use tackle!" yells another pirate.

GENERIC PIRATE doesn't have enough badges! SPLASHY did not obey! SPLASHY used SPLASH! (The magikarp's trainer is incapacitated! All pokemon-based attacks are greatly reduced!)

"Bah, rats are going to squeak," says Harrigan, who's too busy dealing with Mikoto's attack to respond to Bowser's challenge or give further orders. (Pushes are disabled for the following round!)

"Save yer honor for those who care about it!" yells Master Scourge as he weathers Katt's barrage of attacks. "ROCKET PUNCH!"

The detached robot arm starts zooming around the ship, smacking into all of those on deck...
Sumiko So the cannons can fire straight up...that's unexpected!

Explosion.  

Mikoto is barely alive at this point, forced to defend with her new shell and literally everything she had defensive wise left.  Her body is quite bruised and bloodied.  She can't suffer THAT kind of attack again, so instead, she attempts to maneuver her sea critters again.

This time GIANT SQUID surfaces, it's giant tentacles aiming to try and grab sailors manning the cannons and try and throw them off the ship itself.  However, while it's huge and can fight whales in the deep, it's not so great on the surface.

"Oh well...at least it's distracting?"
Bowser "OKAY! I get that you are a big deal, but I AM NOT A RAT! And YOU are going to learn how big a deal I-"

WHAM

The rocket fists takes him in the head and Bowser reels back, staggering so hard the ship jounces, his vision shaking from the powerful blow. When he steadies, he casts a baleful glare at Scourge. "When I'm Captain, I'm going to Keelhaul you SO HARD!"

But he has his sights. His sights on those hat. Bowser takes another huge leap, landing on the captain's deck hard enough to make the Wormwood list. He points the Cutlass at Harrigan, which looks more like a man holding a knife than a big imposing pirate sword. "I am KING Bowser, and we are going to do this the KING way. That's where I beat the stuffing out of you and declare this ship MINE."

He jams the cutlass at Harrigan. It's pretty unwieldly, but it would still hurt like a freight train with a knife on the front.
Katt Katt must still be a little drugged, because normally she does not run out of energy this fast. But by the time her flurry slows, she's breathing hard, nearly out of breath, and slowing down.

Slowing down enough that the almost randomly flying robot arm smacks her in the side. Katt reels from the blow, staggering; she's barely upright after that one, between her increasing exhaustion and the increasing beating she's taken. At this point, she's best off as a distraction.

Which is what she does; she jabs her staff in Scourge's face, flicking it downward to rake with the decorative claws on the catpaw head. "Eyes - on me - pirate guy!"

She forgot Scourge's name, okay?
Arcadia *plink*

That's about what it is as Splashy lives up to his name and bounces off Arcadia's back with minimal effect. Her tail flicks if only to sweep him away and towards his collapsed trainer. "Stay here."

The sphinx crouchs a bit, wings flaring at angles from her body, the ends of the primary struts already glowing. As are the thruster ports intergrated into the back and skirt of her armor. "I'll be right back." Her visor flickers as it goes to HMD mode and scans across the deck. Denotes the position of various pirates, obstacles... and there. The fanciest doors on the ship are the captain's cabin, right? Just like he has the flashiest hat. Good enough when she doesn't have time to spend thinking too hard on it.

All those hyperglass thruster ports fire at the same time. The sudden velocity they produce, even when not at full airborne capacity, is impressive.

*KWAFWOOM*

The shockwave of the sonic boom ripples out across the decks behind her as Arcadia launches herself towards (hopefully) the captain's cabin.
Arkae Zellar Mikoto's creatures just start yanking entire cannoneers off the ship. (Cannon power reduced!) Bowser stabs Harrigan. (No pushes next round!)

And Arcadia tears through the ship, into the captain's cabin, where the shockwave shatters the glass aquarium just inside.

"Goldeen, goldeen."

"Lady!" The fisherman throws a pokeball, retrieving her, and then turns to Splashy. "Let's make like a Nosepass owned by a drug dealer and blow this joint!"

"Karp Karp." (Bonus Attack on the Ship!)

The magikarp slams into the deck of the ship, and then it and its trainer both go overboard to safety. The sudden swaying of the ship, sending barrels and pirates and furniture all over the place - is a problem for everyone but Mikoto - who still has to deal with the cannons, even if there's fewer people manning them right now.
Katt Katt weaves on her feet as she prepares to deliver a more powerful blow to Scourge, to ensure he stays down.

Then the ship rocks. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but the suddenly bouncing, rolling barrel is a problem; it rolls, hits a bump just as the ship tilts, is thrown mightly into the air...

The barrel douses Katt in salt water and then lands on top of her, driving her down to the deck. It them continues to roll - with her inside, right off the ship and into the water.

The good news is that the barrel makes a pretty good life boat; the bad news is that Katt is stuck in it, upside down and not entirely conscious, and is not likely to return to the fight until it's over. At least she put a big dent in Scourge, right?
Sumiko The arcs of the cannons are becoming easier to deal with, but fewer cannons only mean they have less chance to collide with each other and cause a mess.  It appears they're going to keep trading blows at this rate...and Mikoto isn't sure if that's a good thing or not.  It does keep pirates focused on her, which means less trying to mess with the others.

She hears that Lady was rescued, which means.  Heh, her plan worked there!  "Nice job Arcadia.  Now, let's end this.."

The cannon flies up, and her sword cuts through it.  The explosion rocks the area she was in, but it was far more dispersed.  More blood drips down her body, and parts of it are now definitely burned.  She yanks out some shrapnel, allowing her body to start healing the injury.  

The blad stabs into the air, and once more the symbol appears.  However, comet-like shards of jade rain from the sky, aiming to explode on the deck of the ship.  Fortunately, she knows where her allies are, to prevent striking them.  Unfortunately for the rest of the pirates, she shows absolutely no mercy.

It also means less treasure to share!
Bowser Everything on the ship lists to one side like a bad sci-fi movie! Bowser slides to one side of the captain's deck, having to grab at the railing to hold him in place. He heaves with easy strength, digging his feet into the deck to stay standing. He hurls the cutlass away to one side and points at Harrigan. "This is a mutiny." He points back to his eyes. "Look at me."

"LOOK AT ME."

His other arm is swinging. A full on popeye windmill. Winding it up as he tilts back on one foot. He slams down forward on the other foot hard enough to make the wood ripple out away from him with thunderous CRACKS as he swings his fist in an uppercut at his MANLY BEARDED CHIN.
Arcadia Side Mission Success!
The Goldeen is rescued, pokeballed, and the Fisherman makes a ship rocking exit with the help of Splashy.

Arcadia rockets back out of the captain's cabin and into the air, now well aware of what that fishy fighter can do. By virtue of doing so she avoids the rocking rolling deck and everything being tossed around by it in her expedient return to an aerial position over the Wormwood. By this time the waterspout effect has died down so she recalls her magitek options to her, taking up formation around the sphinx.

She was going to save this for the next time they were raiding with the airship, but it's too fitting for right now to pass up.

So she starts broadcasting a strange mix of metal techno music combined with a strange approximation of a sea shanty rhythm. At the same time she unloads a barrage of arcane lasers and magic missiles from herself and her options on the the ship and her crew.

Resulting in it being one hell of a lethal laser light show with her rediculous danmaku going off in sync with the music.
Arkae Zellar The ship is subjected to a sudden rain of swords.

This is more than they can take. The crew starts scattering, surrendering, or just diving off the side and making the swim towards whatever multiversal islands are nearby. The ship itself is not in good shape, either, large bits of it getting carved off or structure weakened by repeated iron ball and bob-omb hits finally caving in after so much punishment.

"You think you've won!?" yells Harrigan, before Bowser's haymaker sends him straight off of the side of the ship.

And unfortunately, Arcadia's light show doesn't hit anyone, because at that point there's nobody left to hit.

REVENGE MISSION COMPLETE!

Bonus - A Fish Called Lady
Bonus - Cyber Warriors Flawless Victory
Bonus - Didn't Melt the Treasure

FINAL SCORE: A+ RANK


You have a moment of respite.
Sumiko Mikoto, looking beat up but happy THAT was over and revenge was finished turns off her phone's music player and moves to sit on the deck trying to recover.  Her wounds will close over time and after that...

Her eyes would literally become dollar signs if they could.  That's going to be a LOT of dough, and even split...

She rubs her hands.  
Katt There are some muffled noises from off the deck that probably isn't a pirate.

It's Katt, trying to pull herself out of the barrel. She'll manage it sooner or later.
Arcadia It was still an impressive display of what Arcadia can crank out when she gets up to full capacity.
This is bullet hell, that there's nothing left to actually hit is kind of a moot point.

After that is done Arcadia recalls her funnelbits, and before returning to the deck goes to yank the pirate flag off the mast. Because one it proves that they've claimed the ship and its treasure successfully.... and she'll see if Arkae wants to modify it to fly over their airship. Because it's authentic!
Arkae Zellar Yes, his hat came off.

Text to reach ten words.
Bowser Bowser heaves out a groan, grabbing at his head. That was rough.

He straightens up with a crack of his back. "Don't mess with the REAL big deal here."

His eyes fall on the Captain's Hat. A majestic hat indeed. With a fine feather. He leans over to pick it up.

RATITOULLE CHILDHOOD ZOOM

Slowly, it gets perched on his head at a rakish angle. He spins around to the captain's deck. "ALRIGHT! He broke the pirate's code! So I BROKE HIM! Now I'm the captain! So! Everyone else gets to just work normally. I guess." He scratches his chin with a claw, "Uhhh, my officers will get some share of the pirate treasure."

FINGER POINT WITH A SNAPPING SOUND

"And you!" He points at Scourge. "KEEL HAUL HIM!"
Arkae Zellar Scourge is nowhere to be found.

Or was he never there to begin with, and he was all a dream?

Nah, he already booked it and ran away.
Arkae Zellar OKAY SO HE SWAM AWAY

HE SWAM AWAY LIKE A LITTLE BITCH, BUT HE'S STILL GOING TO SHOW UP LATER AND CAUSE TROUBLE

DEAL WITH IT
Arcadia "Uh."

Arcadia tucks the flag away, then hovers down to the others. "Should we tell him what keel haul actually means?"
Sumiko "I mean, sure. Also could you tell me what it means? I wasn't big into Pirate stories as a kid," Mikoto says.
Bowser Bowser gets someone ELSE to throw the rope, because that's what delegating is and Katt is just a minion.
Arcadia Arcadia helpfully reaccounts. "Basically you hang them off the ship so they're getting dragged through the water against the hull. The keel is the bottom structure on the hull that helps keep the boat stable. So. Keel haul." She makes a vage gesture with her hands to indicate indescriptly visceral harm. "Usually between the water shredding off flesh and the waves and motion grinding the victim against the hull..." That's where she decides to just trail off.
Sumiko "Wow. That's awful. Like...wow, people actually did that?" Mikoto says utterly blown over by this.
Bowser Bowser's head snaps back as if he were shot by a cannon. "Really? That's rough. OKAY! WE JUST DO WALK THE PLANK FROM NOW ON!"
