Turn 25
The Kraken had struck the new ship all the warriors ventured onto. Only this time, it didn't waste time trying to drag the ship underwater, it simply pummeled and mangled the ship while it was still floating above water.
Attacks
adventurers:Saraket:
NCA: none
CA: Arrow shot eye (6-1+1=6)
You nock multiple arrows, three to be exact, and launch them all in a beautiful arc across the arteficial lagoon. The arrows stay right next to each other, orbiting around a center point, until they all strike within inches of each other, shearing through the weak eye socket, and burying themselves deep inside the Kraken's head.
240 damage to head
Level up!Daisypants:
NCA: none
CA: shoot tentacle 2 (5)
Your next shot strikes an as-of-yet unwounded tentacle, flying with such speed that it sails clean through it. A thin trail of blood is seen dripping off the back of the shaft as it plummets into the ocean.
120 damage to tentacle 2Marco:
NCA: Study teammates (2)
You force yourself not to look at abdul, and instead, you look at the young girl that just joined. She seemed to be talking to herself about weather she was physically able to talk or not... But You could tell that she had a nice family, who loved her. You don't know why she would end up in a place like this, but you suspect it was love for something. You feel something inside of you, something you had never quite felt before. It was a warm glow, a soft, fuzzy feeling. You freak out, and prick yourself in the leg, letting the pain of the wound snap you out of this trance. The glow faded. You were back to normal.
CA: magic beam eye (1-1-1+1=1)
To keep the alien feeling away, you fire a beam of lightning at the Kraken, but so distracted are you, that your shot completely misses, and the Kraken sends a wave at your ship.
Free Attack: Wave (3-1=2)
But the wave misses.
HeadChopper:
NCA:Recover from exhaustion (4-1=3)
You jiggle your appendages slightly to let the blood flow better, and you feel better instantly
+1 to next attackCA: Quick attack Tentacle 2 (5-1+1=5)
You pounce on the first tentacle that appears in range, hooking your feet into the smooth surface, and unleashing quick, successive volleys of attacks into the soft, squishy tentacle.
100 damage to tentacle 2
Level up!Sally:
NCA: none
"Wait? Why am i talking to myself? I can't even talk! Also, I don't have a sister. Why would I be looking for a sister that I don't have?
CA: Magic Bolt Tentacle 2 (3)
After waving your pretty stick some more, some pretty light flies into the ocean. You don't know how or why, all you know is that it is pretty.
15 damage to tentacle 2Sitcher:
NCA:
CA: Magic Eye (2)
Sitcher continued to fail at setting up his light trail.
Failure.KrakenRam Ship 6 (5-1=4)
The Kraken backed up, and slammed into the ship with full force, further weakening the structure. Water leaks sprung all along the sides, and more shrapnel went flying. The ship couldn't withstand much more punishment.

Description: Sand elemental, wears a blindfold, has glass shards for hair
Backstory: If he has one, he's not sharing it
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: Boredom
Any additional information: I get the impression that it would be kinda hard to do any lasting damage to him, considering he is, well, a sandstorm in the shape of a person.
Also: nice to see the successor to Brittan! I'm thinking I'll get Respawn to show up after I die. He'll be confused…

Ship:
Active modifiers: none
Total damage done: 58
Age: 22
Description: A dull-eyed, ungainly young man, bespeckled with crumbs which he is often seen picking from his grimy clothing and eating.
Backstory: For some, there comes a time in their life when they discover their their true passion, the one real meaning for their existence, all at once. For twenty-two-year-old Jhoferi, previously a total slacker with few skills and little-to-no motivation or drive, this passion was onion rings.
He vowed to himself to do whatever it took to ensure he always had plenty of crisply fried, evenly-battered onion rings.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: His nemesis (although Jhoferi is entirely unaware said person considers themselves a nemesis) convinced him there were onion rings a-plenty to be had by those brave souls employed by the Society. Just onion rings as far as the eye can see. Jhoferi is determined to do his duty and lay claim to the bloody onion rings of righteous victory.
Any additional information: Mildly hungry.

Name: DaisyPants (Level 3)
HP: 130/130
EXP: 360/300
Ship: 9
active modifiers: -1 to attacks against him while in this location,
Loot: 905
Age: Semi-immortal ageless elf
Description: An extremely pointy-eared and disdainful looking elf. Does not condescend to speaking with any non-elfs, instead communicating through emphatic and commanding gestures.
Backstory: He gave an excellent sign-language rendition of his life story and goals in the Fearless Society upon joining. Unfortunately for you, nobody could understand ESL (Elf Sign Language).
Name: Marco Ruyn (Level 3)
Class: mage
HP: 100/100
EXP: 0/225
Ship: 7
Active Modifiers: +1 to attacks made while in location.
Loot: 270
Age:Older than he looks
Description: Tall and thin, with brown hair and one blue eye, the other is covered with an eyepatch. His skin is pail, so the red tattoo-like markings above and below his covered eye stand out. He always wears a long, black, hooded robe with a gold trim that hides the top of his head and face in shadows. He says he's human, if asked, and few continue to question him, as he has a rather off-putting aura about him.
Backstory: I'm a powerful mage from a lesser known village with some rather... unique customs, you need know nothing else about me.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society:Research, there are some interesting things going on
Any additional information:The reason he was in the room so long is he was studying the others. He is annoyed that the sand elemental left so soon, research on him would have been interesting. Kind of a jackass, shows little emotion besides annoyance, though is loyal to those he deems worthy. Speaks fluent dwarves and elvish as well as the basic language. Has been mistaken for an elf, a half-elf, a demon in human form, and once (I can only assume someone was drunk) A dragon human hybrid.

Backstory: He's the guy that introduced you all to the fearless society. Beyond that, nobody knows.

Active Modifiers: -1 to next turn actions
Loot: 40
Age:old
Description: An undead humanoid creature carrying a sharpened anchor(sword) and covered in hardened, natural carapace(armor), its body is noticeably rotted in some locations and it seems very confused about why everyone is panicking at something else, and what that thing is.
Backstory: Sea husks. Undead creatures known for marauding ships, and hunting large sea beasts. It seems that the incoming kraken has caused the Order to miss this ones approach, and possibly others. They naturally fear krakens, and respond to said fears with violence as they lack any self preservation instincts. Luckily for their kind(and unluckily for everyone else) Sea Husks tend to form whenever a humanoid being drowns and the corpse goes uneaten for a few days. While their name calls them husks, they are actually very physically well built and capable, their crab like carapace being equivalent to armor, it more refers to their mind and soul than their body.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society:it didn't. It saw a boat, and decided to attack, ignorant to the incoming kraken. Won't likely be able to do anything meaningful before the thing gets here due to how hectic everything is
Any additional information:basically, instead of a sword it has a small, sharpened anchor. So basically treat this like our various animal characters, in that in combat, the anchor just functions as a warriors sword. Other sea husks will likely arrive(unless this guy somehow DOESN'T die) with similarly makeshift, weird weapons. It's basically just now climbing onto ship eleven.
Name: Urist the Bard
Class: Mage
HP: 80/80
EXP:0/75
Ship: 7
Active Modifiers: none
Loot: 0
Age: 68
Description: Just a dwarven travelling bard
Backstory: Urist The Bard was born in Limuladil, "Goldwall" in dwarven language. He always dreamed to be a bard and a traveller, and even though he did become a bard, he was very unsuccessful one. But one day in his travellings, he meat a fellow bard and also a mage of music. The mage found that Urist has the gift to do that kind of magic, and taught him some tricks. After Urist learned those tricks, he discovered that the musical magic not only can make people dance, but also hurt them rather severely. Then he became a novice mage of music.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: They promised me a quick fame and fortune!
Additional notes: He uses his guitar as a conductor for the musical magic.
Name: Sally (Level 2)
HP: 0/190
EXP: 0/250

Description: human female child, has long blond hair and is normally smiling.

Class: Warrior
HP: 0/190
EXP: 228/250

Additional Skills: Guard, pommel strike
Age:Adult
Description:A dilophosaurus.
Backstory:Werther once belonged to a decadent count who purchased him as a hatchling from a group of adventurers who found his egg while slaying the Bird-Serpents of the South. Werther was eventually trained to entertain at parties by mauling prisoners to death on command for the guest's amusement.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society:Eventually, the count disapproved of his daughter's choice of a peasant suitor and fed him to Werther. The count's daughter ran away after that, and the count swiftly tired of the dinosaur's "act" when it reminded him of what he had lost. The dinosaur was then sold to the Fearless Society.
Any additional information:I'd like to flavor my sword as bite damage, please.
Name: Eweler, the old
Class: mage
HP: 80/80
Exp: 0/75
Current Range from monster: distance
Active Modifiers: none
loot: 0
Age: Appears really old
Description: A tall, white-haired and long-bearded man with well-tanned skin from the years.
Backstory: He's been training as a mage for a while. Well, a few hours, anyway. He's an expert at all things plant-based! Except for those things not related to carrots. He claims to be some sort of genius at growing things, but nobody's ever seen him do anything with plants. For that matter, nobody's ever heard him more than seven words in a sentence. He rarely ever talks. Probably because he's been a hermit for years.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: His carrot crop was destroyed, and so he was both bored and starving to death. To alleviate the above issues, he decided to go somewhere to die. Unluckily for you, he chose to join this society.
Any additional information: He seems to have really spindly limbs and worn-out knees, but he can move surprisingly quickly in his staff-aided hobble.

Backstory: Burklaif was born in the nomadic clan of Labrador. Like every other child in the clan, Burklaif was trained in art of archery and animal tracking since childhood, which he spent hunting caribous and elks. Eventually, he was able to hunt much dangerous prey, like lynx or polar bear.
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: After turning 16 years old, Burklaif needed to complete initiation ritual to become true member of Labrador clan. He needs to kill dangerous rare, or magical creature in order to return to his clan. After 3 unsuccessful months of searching for the prey, he found a member of the Fearless Society. He offered him help with Burklaif's search in exchange for the permanent membership in the Fearless Society...
Any additional information: Since he belongs to literally anthropomorphic Labrador clan, I wish he got a small Cold Resistance.

Description: An Albian hero who disappeared in the Cold North, and recently rescued by the Fearless Society. 7 feet tall, red hair, brown eyes, and MUSCLES!
Backstory: A folk hero hailing from the Kingdom of Alba, which located on Albion, to the north of the Kingdom of Aenglic. His dedds include fighting off an invasion Aenglish people with only his fellow peasants, hunting down over seven hundred and fifty witches, protecting the king from the ever-plotting vassals (he solved it just by pure luck and some rip and tearing), killed legendary troll called Blair, and most importantly, killed Lucifer himself and took The Potion Of The Eternal Life for his dying king. He mysteriously disappeared after he went to the Cold North to fight Ancient Ice Dragon, Frostscale. But after 2 centuries, the Fearless Society found him frozen in the cave of the dragon. Now it's time for The Hero of Alba to announce to the whole world that he's back!
Reason for joining the Fearless Society: They saved me, do I need to explain more?
Additional Notes: Bruce doesn't need a weapon to kill huge-ass monsters, he does it just fine with his bare hands. Also, can he be the same level as Burklaif before his demise?

OOC notes
I'm thinking that deep breathing is a bit broken, specifically the "no retaliation" part. Glass, if I made a 1 and 6 still warrent a free attack, do you think that's fair? (This would apply to Sitcher's "Magic eye" ability as well)
