Try to grab the dolphin with the leg so Mark can hit him.

At a portal of contrasting dark...

Scott guesses that there's no use turning around - there are only annoying voices and blinding light in that direction. So he swoops through the portal, suddenly finding himself in an alleyway - judging by the canals around him, it seems that he is in Mothdale once again! How extraordinarily fortuitous.

Now there's the question of whether to tell his new friend about this interesting discovery, or just bail before it realizes anything is amiss.


At the engineers' graveyard of the City of the Dead...

Darren, always mindful of ominous humming and threatening moves made by creatures several magnitudes larger and mightier than he, turns around and nonchalantly gets out of the graveyard. The insects immediately resume their extremely noisy scurrying, which almost looks like they are running laps around the graveyard, swiveling their heads about in search of something.

Wonder what they might be looking for, really?

[Arghl sorry.]

Morton looks at the worm uneasily, not sure if he should apologize or not. Better safe than sorry he supposes? It is helping him and his two friends after all. "Er, m-my apologies my good..." The desk's mind locked up as to the gender of the worm, or even how one respectfully calls one a 'worm', before deciding to go fully neutral in termonology. "...Ally."

The worm does seem to want to cough something at the dolphins, but it seems to have dreadful luck in that regard. Maybe if he can find somethings the worm can throw, he can make amends?

Find rocks/stuff the worm can spit at the enemies! Preferably inanimate!

At the harbor of Mothdale...

Sigmund, rather than embarrass himself further, decides to look for some kind of weapon, crawling off into one of the nearby houses - the good news is, there is a weapon! A very nice-looking weapon, actually - a rather ornate two-handed sword with a wicked curve Sigmund suspects to be more aesthetic than functional. But you have to work with what you've got, you know?

Morton, upon noticing that the worm has decided to search for something other than rocks, decides to embarrass himself in its place. That is how succession works, right? So he drags himself up and down the street a bit, but finds nothing of interest right up until the point he locates some shattered glass on the ground. That could certainly be useful, he thinks, and starts gathering it up. Honestly, what kind of vandal would fill the ground with shattered glass like this? The idea is nothing short of barbaric, really.

Mark and Kevin, meanwhile, find themselves locked in what may turn out to be deadly combat.

[Grab: Kevin vs. Screechy: 3 vs. 3+1]

First of all, Kevin finds out the hard way that dolphins are pretty slippery and have few articulate parts that he can easily lock in place under the best of circumstances, let alone when they are aggressively battling.

[Mark vs. Screechy: 4+2 vs. 4+1]

Similarly to Kevin, Mark realizes that dolphins don't really respond favorably to being poked with a halberd from a distance either. They are a mysterious race, that is absolutely certain.

[Screechy vs. Mark: 1+2 vs. 5+3]

Fortunately, the dolphin volunteers itself for a slight change in combat conditions, leaping right at Mark in a way that practically begs for a skewering.

[Counterattack: Mark vs. Screechy: 1+2 vs. 2+1]

This is made more than a little embarrassing for Mark when he comically misses the dolphin as it flies right past him. Damn these slippery things.

[Punt: McStrange vs. Mark: 2+1 vs. 6+3]

Fortunately, another dolphin takes its place and offers him a chance for redemption.

[Counterattack: Mark vs. McStrange: 3+2 vs. 2+1]

And, while he does not quite skewer the creature, he does give it a nice slice on the chest, which does not bleed at all, once again.

[Punt: Beakley vs. Mark: 6+1 vs. 3+3]
[Mark's balance roll: 3]

And as Mark considers this, he is very rudely punted in the side by the third dolphin, which upsets his rather delicate posture and sends him rolling toward the nearby canal, only stopping near the edge. These dolphins do hit pretty hard when they hit, he notices as he is laying at the possibly dangerous precipice.

Scott will head back through and tell his new ghostly buddy.

Look around. Is anything out of place? Are there any signs of movements, other than the insects?

Grab the sword with my mouth and give it to Kevin.

If there is a Dolphin trying to push Mark into the water, push them aside. Also burp in its face.

Mark gets up and tries to kill the dolphins again sending a quick prayer to the god of battle as he went she might still remember that shrine he built for her

Morton, seeing his friend in great danger, quickly moves to get closer and assist.

If he can get there before the dolphins somehow, the desk will drop the broken glass around him and Mark and hold a flask at ready to strike at any dolphin that gets within range, seeking more to keep them away than actually harm them.

If he gets there at roughly the same time, he'll try to tackle/ram one of the dolphins away from Mark.

If he lags behind by a good bit, he'll try to chuck another flask between Mark and the dolphins.

Take the sword and swing it at the neck of one of the dolphins.

Overjoyed at finally getting some much-deserved appreciation, Timothy completely failed to notice the woman's worrying reaction.
Instead, he bobbed happily up and down above the pair, practically singing out his agreement with the young man.

"Yes! I's gonn' be real helpful! I brings you all da food youse can eat, keeps you all hideaway'd from dem weird peoples in da middle-town, we can goes on adventures together, sees lotsa places, all sortsa fun stuff!" Why, if his face was a tangible thing Timothy was sure it would be hurting from smiling so hard!

...Then he remembered about the whole 'just destroyed their home and broke the poor guy's legs' thing. Mmmaybe he was getting a tad bit ahead of himself. He decided to add, "Er, well, once youse legs is fixed, anyways. Maybe I's not helps so much wif dat, is not uh, a real-goods idea..." He coughed softly.
"Is you knowing abouts fixin' legs an' stuff?" he asks the woman, his tone cautiously hopeful. He's still not sure whether she trusts him yet, after all!

>Talk talk talk with my new friends! Ask what's-her-name if she can fix what's-his-face's legs!
