The forest did not offer the soldier as much evasive potential as he would have liked. Rayne threw two javelins in rapid succession, followed by a third towards the soldier. While the forest and his anti cavalry tactics kept him from taking the full brunt of the damage, he was still noticeably wounded.

"Well this is quite a nice set of armor," Ritsu says, putting it on to test it out. She was quite surprised to see the design on it, but she didn't mind. Finding that it fits perfectly, Ritsu smiles a bit. "I suppose this incident wasn't too terrible all things considered. Now to get around to that path," Ritsu remarks before leaving the smithy and going back to the fisherman. "Well, I've picked up some stuff now, so I'm about set to go over to the Grassy Path. Do you need any other preparations?"

"That sounds like it could be useful. I have to pick up something first, but once I've done that I plan on grouping with the others at the Grassy Path." Ritsu says before walking over to and inside of the smithy.

Ritsu takes the power cell, but still frowns. "While I'll accept this on the basis of dealing with the fish, I'm not entirely convinced that this makes up for the harpoon that was shot into me. That's just my opinion though."

"Blegh. That wasn't a very pleasant nap all things considered." Ecquis states after waking up. He is then greeted by the massing of more reinforcements to the west side. Looking to the east, he sees another troubadour nearby, and what appeared to be the commander a bit further back. "Well let's try to take out their remaining source of healing while it's not too much of an issue," Ecquis says, rousing his wyvern and moving towards the troub. Move to L17 and melee that Troub with le javelin.

Rayne flies by and quickly throws out two javelins, each hitting their mark and striking the myrm dead where she stands.

"Yes, I'll be sure to do that," Ritsu replies before leaving and heading over to the Inn. Once she gets there, it isn't too long before she finds the fisherman from earlier. "Nice to know that you paid back the shopkeeper. I heard you had something for me?" Ritsu asks in a tone that is a bit more demanding than usual.

"Very well then," Ritsu said before walking back to the toolshop. Her teleportation ability seemed to be slightly off at the moment, but she figured it would fix itself. After a brief walk, she arrived at the tool shop yet again. "Well then, took a bit more work and running around than I expected, but I'm back."

Ritsu sighs after hearing the condition of her new power core. It seems that dealing with that at the moment won't be feasible. "Very well. Most of my important data is saved on its own separate area, though I doubt you would have known that. Nevertheless, I may need to acquire better armor to keep this thing from breaking too easily. Do you know if anyone here has good armor in stock?"

"I'm a bit concerned regarding the fact that a main power source is rather obvious in terms of location. Will this prove to be more of a complication to me in the future?"

"Mostly fine all things considered. Though I will have to ask what this light is."

Ritsu having been shot up by the lake bed eruption after being slammed into by a fish was unable to notice the harpoon being aimed upwards.

"There you are," Ritsu says as she swings her chainsaw at the fish in front of her. Ritsu strikes the fish with Bleeding Blade (3d4 + STR (8)) *will inflict bleed status ( 1d4 + 1/2 STR ignoring RES ) if fish doesn't die*

"That works," Ritsu says, noting that Alexandria can keep the fish from accessing the vent. Ritsu then begins trying to warp near the fish to strike it down or warp it to the surface if possible.

"I'd have to check with my acquaintance, who also happens to be underwater still. I'll let you know in a moment," Ritsu says before warping back into the water next to Alexandria. Noting that she herself is still not at peak performance after that explosion, Ritsu decides to do a bit of maintenance on herself while informing Alexandria of her plans. "So, due to problems it has caused for local fishermen, I need to catch that fish that was around earlier. Apparently closing this vent will cause the lake bed to erupt or something, which will allow for capture. He plans on dropping an anchor on the vent in order to close it. Since you're down here also, I figured I would ask if you want to try that method or a different one to handle this situation." Ritsu uses Restoration on herself (1d4 +Int (4))

"That should help at least a little bit. The fish doesn't seem to be done with us yet, but I think that so long as it doesn't get to the vent it shouldn't be too problematic. If you'll excuse me a moment, someone else who had a bone to pick with this fish is also around, so I'll see if he can do something useful," Ritsu says before teleporting back to the beach side, rather wet all things considered. "I heard you shouting from the water. It seems one of my companions was also dealing with the fish. Currently its rather battered, but not quite dead. There's also a vent down there with the yellow gunk that you mentioned earlier that looks like it could be closed. Any ideas?"

Noting that the fish still was around, Ritsu decided to move towards Alexandria and the vent, which appeared to be bubbling with the yellow gunk that the fisherman mentioned before. Still though, the two of them did take a little bit of damage from the explosions, so Ritsu decided to deal with that before it became a problem. Then she could see about closing these vents. Ritsu uses Restoration on Alexandria (1d4 +Int (4))

"So this is why the lake was bubbling so," Ritsu remarks, seeing Alexandria fighting off what she assumed to be the fish that the fisherman mentioned earlier. She then notices the plasma orb going towards Alexandria. After a bit of thinking, Ritsu comes up with an idea to perhaps use that orb to her advantage. In a quick nod, Ritsu activates her sensors to try and locate the fish. "Alexandria was it? You wouldn't happen to have any way to deflect those orbs would you?"

Ritsu looks towards the bubbling with a bit of curiosity, noting that the bubbling is moving towards something. What, she couldn't say just yet. Deciding to check it out, Ritsu revved her chainsaw once and began to go into the water. Good thing my equipment isn't hindered by water, Ritsu thinks to herself briefly, before informing the man of her plan. "While you're fixing up your boat, I'm going to take a quick look in the water," Ritsu yells before fully going into the water, activating her magitech based scanners to try and figure out what is happening.

Ritsu follows the man to the beach, where she notices the water...bubbling? That didn't sit very well with her. "I'm a little new to the town, is the bubbling water normal? Also I don't see any of the yellow gunk you mentioned."

Ritsu frowned, knowing that his predicament would make convincing him to pay back the shopkeeper a tough sell. Then again, Ritsu figured that she might be able to manage something. "I see. Technically, I was asked by the tool shop owner to inform you that you needed to pay him back. However, given your predicament, that may have to be put on hold slightly. Instead, how about I see about dealing with that fish that's been causing problems for you. We can work out further details afterwards. Is this acceptable?"

Ritsu walks over to the eating area, where she spots a man who's appearance is that of a fisherman. She figured that this was the person the shopkeeper mentioned, but she decided not to come on as too aggressive at the start. "Excuse me sir, is something the matter?"
