[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]She didn't want to say it, but this man was terrible at driving an otter. The female could feel herself being jerked around by the sharp movements of the otter. Holding onto the best of her abilities, it was the only thing that she was focused on, oblivious to the appearance of the tide caller. Anya was more concerned with not falling off of the creature which served as her oxygen tank, hanging onto it for dear life. If she could, she would've confronted the reckless red-head to demand him to stop messing around. She could feel her stomach churn up even when Catharsis had stopped the otter in place.
Man, she was going to be sick.
Fuck! Anya flailed as the impact of a random ass tentacle had hit them, though the worst of it was mitigated by the strong jaws of the giant otter. Man, this was bad. It felt like they had gotten a real bitch slap from the thick octopus leg and fuck no, she wasn't going to let that one slide. Equipping her sword, Anya held it in front of her as another tentacle whipped towards them. Using her gauntlet for extra support, she kept the blade steady as the limb had practically sliced itself against the edge of her blade, completely taking a portion off. Nice.

LOVE ME LIKE AN ENEMY He shouldn't have, but the Empath flinched when he saw a flash of the Slayer's sword in the water. The sooner this was done, the sooner they would be able to part ways. Catharsis was right back to being more afraid of Anya than he was of the tidecaller, even before the woman just sliced through one of the monster's other legs. Ugh, finally. That should do some damage and give them some leeway. It at least convinced Marin to retract from the outright attack, the tentacle in Ophelia's teeth being ripped away as the Tidecaller withdrew. Catharsis did not feel like he could breath easier for some reason, less so when the monster pointed right for them. There was no way that could be good, and sure enough, next thing he knew he saw a different fish rounding towards them. Raising a hand, he cast a schadenfreude at the unusually aggressive shark sent to do the tidecaller's bidding, not at all pleased with this new development. The salt burned his lungs when he pushed words out, probably warping anything he did manage to verbalize, and he shook his head as he equipped his spear, turning the blade to the shark and then to the tidecaller, indecisive.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Like she had said before, her attention was now on her prize: the tidecaller. She had no interest in Catharsis now, focused solely on searching for the damn beast. It's main body was hidden and to protect it, guard sharks -- really? The woman was slightly annoyed by this, swinging back her sword to strike down on one of the shark missing by a damn mile. The new armor improved her mobility, but not by much. Oh, how she wanted to curse out the damn ocean. The once visible tidecaller was withdrawing out of sight quickly upon discovering that, yeah, he was fucking with the wrong player. A little too late.
Tapping Catharsis on the shoulder, she pointed towards the tidecaller swimming away from them. If he would follow, she would do her best to fend off the sharks. Even if her power was severely cut down, she would still do more damage than he would. All she needed to do was take smaller swings... in theory. It was worth a try, she decided. If anything, she still had her other ability on hand as a trump card.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR ENERGY
LOVE ME LIKE AN ENEMY Catharsis winced when the woman swiped at the shark and missed, forced to duck to keep the monster from literally biting his head off. The moment she tapped on his shoulder, she didn't have to tell him twice. Catharsis pushed Ophelia into barreling forward, their destination none other than the retreating bounty. The Tidecaller could probably call on the aid of any surrounding sea life, meaning that the only way to stop this was to stop him. Made sense to him, at least. It wasn't easy, but sea otters were made to swim fast in the water, and Ophelia was built on that concept. The moment Catharsis was able to catch a part of the current that propelled them forward, it was only a matter of time before they caught up. As long as he didn't lose the one person in the party who could do damage, closing the gap should cinch the bounty for the both of them. With this in mind, he did his best to dart past the monster's tentacles, aligning Ophelia more with his almost humanesque upper body. When he struck with the spear in his hand, it was more to draw the tidecaller's attention away from what he was banking on being the real danger than to actually damage him. He was really, really hoping this worked. If they didn't start doing damage now, they'd be in trouble.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Between her and Saskia, the other woman was someone who could easily be considered a genius in battle. As for Anya, it was her instincts that carried her in fights. For once, an idea had finally struck her as actual genius. Using the moving force of the otter under her, all she had to do was hold her sword out. Keeping it steady as she allowed the natural movements to slice through the threats, adjusting the angle and position every so often. For ones that she could not reach, she made sure to use her gauntlet as a shield.
"WhROa," Anya held up the armored arm just a few inches away from her otter driver. The creature's teeth latched on, but did no damage as it struggled to rend off her arm. Hah. Yeah, okay. It didn't take long for it to back off and try again, only this time, against the bladed edge of her sword. It was cleaved clean, reduced to pixels. This was going to be a lot easier than she had thought. The woman grinned ear to ear, patting the Empath on the head as praise. She retracted her thoughts from earlier, he was pretty good at this otter driving thing.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR ENERGY
LOVE ME LIKE AN ENEMY Catharsis tensed when the woman patted him on the head, but when that was all that happened, he relaxed. It seemed she really was more focused on being vicious towards the bounty and anything that came with it as long as the thing was still alive. In a way, he almost didn't look forward to it dying. Luckily enough, any of the sea creatures under the tide caller's employ who came too near were decimated by the Slayer. Unfortunately, now that they were near and as close to the monster as they were, that left Ophelia face to face with the thing. For just a moment, Catharsis waited, as if holding his breath and waiting for some kind of trap that spelled instantaneous death to close in around them. In a way, it did, as he knew the Tidecaller was moving out of sight, tentacles probably pulling around them where he couldn't see. He didn't wait to see what Anya did with the closeness he had delivered them to, pulling on Ophelia and watching as the otter lunged with sharp teeth right for the monster's face. He felt the pain in his side from where the Tidecaller had struck with his javelin just as quickly, buckling over from the attack as his health started to drop. Reflexively, he reached out with a schadenfreude, the magical attack pulling pixels from the monster and into himself as it did damage. It wouldn't be enough. The point of the weapon was still inside of him, and Catharsis reached for the monster, any part of him he could touch, as he felt it start to twist.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya was all smiles when they had gotten close enough for her to see the true face of the tidecaller. The creatures that were under it's command were gone now. It was just the two of them and well, her driver, basically. Everything had gone smoothly and of course, that meant only one thing: something was going to go wrong. That was just how her life worked. Anya's eye left the tidecaller's to focus on the fact that Catharsis had gone and gotten himself stabbed. Fuck's sake.
The woman groaned, unable to ignore the fact that there was a fucking weapon stuck in his side. Anya had a faulty heart, but it was a heart nonetheless.
Unmounting herself off of the otter, she reached out for the weapon with her gauntlet, crushing the neck of it rather than pull it out. That, she would leave up to the Empath. Ah, shit. The Slayer held her breath as her body started to sink a little too quickly for her comfort. How the fuck did one swim again? Unimportant.
Bringing back her arm, Anya gave it her best attempt at doing a wide arc swing, launching a portion of the extra health she had stored right at the tidecaller.
Considering that it scaled off of her own base stats, she was sure that it would do the trick as it traveled like a hot knife through butter; unaffected by the water. The tentacles that the creature held up for protection did little to stop the red shockwave as it had sliced right through them. It was only after that that she realized she was sinking out of reach of the otter, reaching out desperately for it.

GIVE ME ALL YOUR ENERGY
LOVE ME LIKE AN ENEMY His hand met only water, the weapon in his side a spear and no point of skin near for him to leech health off of. Catharsis started to panic with no way to dissuade the monster from continuing to attack him, until he felt the rough motion of the weapon breaking off inside of him. He tensed as he looked down at the woman, hand drifting to where it stuck out of his side still. She was smart; had this been the real world, simply yanking it out might have just caused him to bleed out into the water and made everything worse. That wasn't even counting the additional internal damage that might have been done. Even here in the game, he wasn't sure. Some things were so realistic, while other things failed any sense of logic. With Anya dismounted, though, there wasn't much time. Catharsis hesitated only once, applying well of tranquility to heal both himself and the slayer if she was still close enough. He was praying the heal over time would mend his wound as he pulled out the spearhead, cringing and hissing through his teeth while his vision blacked out. His focus, he could admit, was not entirely on Seneca and where the battle was going. When it was done, his health was in the yellow, but stable. As soon as his vision cleared and he looked up, it was to see Seneca strike the final blow, cutting through the enemy like he was nothing. Then, she started to sink. It occurred to Catharsis, even as he convinced Ophelia to move forward, that he could just leave her there to drown. She seemed to do poorly without the aid of the mount. Problem was, she'd just saved his life in a way he couldn't ignore, and had at least held to her word to not attack him. It didn't sit right to just leave her to die. As soon as he'd brought Ophelia close to Anya, he pulled at her. He wasn't strong, but he was hoping she'd be motivated enough to pull herself onto the mount with his invitation. If she did mount safely enough, that would be enough to convince him to push the giant otter more casually towards the shore. With the currents calm now, there wasn't really any rush unless there was somewhere Seneca needed to be. With them no longer surrounded by enemies, he'd cast another well of tranquility to speed up the out of combat health regeneration. They were done here.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya could feel herself sinking deeper into the murky depths, the salt water washing out her last words. Her vision was hazy now as her body felt heavy, her sword loosening from her grip as it sank down before her. There were no thoughts as her consciousness began to weave in and out. There was the sound of rushing water, but she was sure that was just her own body descending. Anya raised her hand up weakly, grasping at nothing but the water threatening to drown her. Fuck. Was she really going to go out in this lame ass way? No glory on the battlefield? No last words? No memory worth remembering her by? Shit.
There was no life montage flashing by her, but rather the image of just two people. Her father whom she had lost a long time ago, and Saskia who she was going to lose now. It was hard to tell where the wrenching pain was coming from only sure that it came from her heart. Man, she wanted to say good bye and apologize for how fucked up she had been. Not only did she avoid Saskia, but she was going to leave her for good now. Didn't she promise to stay? Anya could feel her eye burn from the salt, closing it now that all she could see was black.
Her body that once heavy felt light again and for some reason, she mused that she was being carried up into heaven. Heaven? Her? She wanted to laugh, but the only thing that had come out was a sputtering cough. Anya bolted herself upright, wide awake now as she started to hack and cough out what was left of the sea water. Her face scrunched up, looking around to see that she was back on land, the same place she had waited for Catharsis earlier. Anya scowled,
spitting out more salt water.
Fuck didn't even stay to let her thank him. Shit, now she owed him one.
