"Okay then. It was interesting meeting her, i'll have to learn more about Ziz... are we heading back now?"

"...Was it a her? I'm not sure. But it'd probably be rude to ask..."

"Anyways. Yeah, I guess we do."

"...Where the fuck did our escort go though."


There's a few more moments of silence, Nami seeming to scan the surroundings- But just like the goblins, they seem unable to see any trace of the merman that had first lead them here.

"...Fine. Whatever. It's not like we're going to have trouble finding our way back."

"I'll just hope for his sake he either got eaten by a shark or that I can't find out who he even was supposed to be..."


Having said that, Nami and the goblins depart back into the direction of the city- Though, after about ten minutes of swimming, as they pass through a rocky seabed area, Cut starts coming to the realization that there's danger afoot...

Cut looks around cautiously. "Guys, I think we need something in order to protect ourselves in the water and whatever that is going to come to us and perhaps something that is a kin to a harpoon or something similar that can function underwater would be benifital to our current situation in the matter and that it would have the capability of being reilded back via rope or something of similar grounds. May it aid us against whatever dangers are ahead of us."

Word creation: Harpoon.

"Wait, wait. Are we expecting a battle?

...If there's going to be a battle i'm not sure how much help i'll be, being underwater is definitely not helpful for a wind mage."

Studies tests to see if he can 'fly' underwater to increase his speed, while trying to stay close to the others.

Everyone
As the party continues through the rocky seabed, Cut lets know of the "danger" ahead- By summoning a harpoon. While usually not the greatest weapon, it should have a small bonus in this environment...

Harpoon: +3 ATT (+5 ATT while underwater)

"Wait, wait. Are we expecting a battle?

...If there's going to be a battle i'm not sure how much help i'll be, being underwater is definitely not helpful for a wind mage."


"Wait... What? What are you talking about? Did you see some kind of sea animal? Because... That shouldn't be a problem, if we'd do. Or..."

There wasn't going to be any time to change minds, though- Even as Nami slowed down to be more cautious, soon they'd turn a corner and face the "danger" that awaited them. But before they did, Studies quickly finds out whether or not his wind powers still function underwater. The good news is that levitate or flight doesn't actually use "air" too much- Meaning it's still useful, if not better in these underwater conditions.

The bad news however, is that his offensive abilities certainly are. With that being said, they should still be useable- If with a lesser impact.

But as he "flies" up- In combination with his swimming, the goblins turn a corner between two large rocks. And there, a good distance in front of them, stands someone waiting. A merman.

"Greetings!" he yells out, in a old, gravelly voice- The party grinding to a halt. Nami levels her trident at the man, clearly not trusting this scenario after Cut's "warning".

"Now, before anyone gets any funny ideas-" The man says- Reaching for something small affixed to his belt, to which is also attached an ornate crossbow and a dagger, stuck inside it's hilt. "Allow me to give you a quick magic lesson-" The man says, now holding up the item in clear view to the entire party- The party able to recognize the item as a rune.
"This here, is a rune. Don't ask me how it works, I'm no mage. But I do know what they can do. They store spells, sort off. And by throwing them, those spells can be activated. They're quite versatile too."
"Now, this rune, for example? It is enchanted with a dispel spell. Affecting everyone in a large area."
"And for those of you who don't know what a dispel spell does... It removes magical effects on a person."

"Such as, for example, the lasting effects of a different rune."

A small smirk plays on the man's lips, the goblins soon coming to realization that not only is he holding his "ace" ready in his hand, he's also not alone- As Hears manages to spot at least one other merfolk, hiding behind one of the rocks while having a crossbow trained on the group- As the old man leading it all continues in his gravelly voice.

"Now that I have your proper attention, allow me to introduce myself. The name is Tyrone."

"And dear... I am afraid that depending on the answers to a few simple questions I have... I'll either be your best friend, or your worst enemy."

"So, for my first question... Actually, you goblins may answer this one as well! I think it might be relevant."

"I've been... Catching up with events. So let me ask you all a question. What happened back there at Kraken's cove... Between you and Triton."

"Tell me. Honestly. Do you think that the punishment he was given was... Fair?"

Cut grins even more at him. "So you choose to threaten us? That does not seem to be very diplomatic, espessialyl to those who wish to save the world, nay, universe. You will be affected as well. Now if you really wish to just talk, you will put down your runes without using them. Now if you wish not to be viewed as thigs, then you will not threaten us. Any of you. Besides, you do not wish to harm me, or my friends, we are simply trying to save the universe."

Cut looks at him in his eyes, activating the glamour at full force, for inv the enemies to be entranced in her, she also uses wordsling to put it at a greater effect as a suggestion.

Studies immediately reaches out with his script control to see if he can detonate or disable the rune in Tyrone's hand without causing it to dispel nearby enchantments. While doing that he also talks with Tyrone to buy time, though he is not as immediately hostile as cut. He wants to know what's happening before any fight starts.

"Personally, I think it was fair. As Orpheus pointed out, there was fault on both sides, but Triton was the one who was the aggressor, trying to make Everyone bend to his will with force."

~...seriously, Cut? I know you like ordering people around, but do you not remember what happened the last time you tried that? Can we never just try regular diplomacy before resorting to the risky magic tricks?~

Assuming Cut's glamour plan doesn't backfire horribly, Hears addresses the merman, adding to what Studies said.
"Also, we did try to solve the situation peacefully. Triton is the one who brought an army, and resorted to violence when negotiations failed - we were just defending ourselves. And if anything, Queen Nami and Orpheus were lenient in allowing him to live. Even if he might not think so...."

"So you choose to threaten us? That does not seem to be very diplomatic, espessialyl to those who wish to save the world, nay, universe. You will be affected as well. Now if you really wish to just talk, you will put down your runes without using them. Now if you wish not to be viewed as thigs, then you will not threaten us. Any of you. Besides, you do not wish to harm me, or my friends, we are simply trying to save the universe."

The man raises an eyebrow, his gaze at Cut making it doubtful whether she was "succesful" or not- However, the intended result at least is, as he "pockets" the rune- Albeit it would still only take a mere second to grab again.

"Fair enough dear. To be honest, I have no intention of actually hurting- Nor killing you. That, ah, would only be a... Last resort."

"Besides, as you seem aware, I have other means to grasp for first should we need to resort to violence." he says, a smirk once again playing on his lips.

Studies meanwhile, actually inspects the rune, and comes to a startling discovery- He could, of course, activate the rune without too much trouble. And if he did, any area of effect would probably not reach them... But it would be something he needs not bother himself with- Because inspecting what the rune actually is, it seems the man is either ignorant or playing a bluff- Considering what the rune actually is, probably the latter.

For firstly, the rune does not actually affect an area. And secondly, it isn't even a dispel- Rather, it's a haste one.

Regardless, the goblins continue their "diplomacy"- Cut having succeeded in "disarming" the man, the others actually answer his "question".

"Personally, I think it was fair. As Orpheus pointed out, there was fault on both sides, but Triton was the one who was the aggressor, trying to make Everyone bend to his will with force."
"Also, we did try to solve the situation peacefully. Triton is the one who brought an army, and resorted to violence when negotiations failed - we were just defending ourselves. And if anything, Queen Nami and Orpheus were lenient in allowing him to live. Even if he might not think so...."

The man raises a brow, seemingly surprised with the answers. As his eye falls on Nami, who seems to be thinking a bit longer on the question.

"...Honestly? I wouldn't know. My... Mother would certainly agree with that he deserved it. But... Much as I hate to admit it... Her mind was addled. Left with so much anger and hate of being... Stuck for so long."

"And from what I heard... Many Atlantians seem to agree on that he was doing what was best for the people."

"The problem is though, what might have been best for the people might not be best for me. And he forced our hands. So... Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Problem is, I don't think we had any other choice."


"Hmm. Yes, yes..." the man murmurs, seemingly considering something himself before he continues a second later.

"You know, I'm surprised to actually see such honesty. I was expecting you to go on a charade and consider me another one of Triton's followers. Might have been the smarter choice, even."

"But for what it's worth, your brutal honesty pays off. It was a trick question anyways. There was no right answer to that question. And you're right-" He says, addressing Nami, "It doesn't matter whether he deserved it or not. The problem is that you and him are not going to be able to work together. And considering that he would stop at nothing to stop YOU if he'd be free... My dear, you have no choice but to lock him up."

"The question whether that was the correct- Or even better choice when the man said he would rather die, is debatable... But not the matter of discussion."

"The matter of discussion is that now, with Triton gone, someone else needs to take the throne. And that's where we have our little problem... Because you see dear, you just don't fit that bill..."

"...And I'm guessing you would huh?"

"Me? Haha- No dear." the man says, chuckling.

"I'm just an old sea dog chasing catfish. I'm a soldier, no leader."

"But I do know this- There's going to be people that want that throne. There's also going to be a few who will stop at nothing to put Triton back there. And the obvious solution for all that to play out smoothly... Would be for you to die."

"Of course, that's no option. That would make the whole reason Triton even got in this predicament void."

"...Which is not saying some would be willing to go that far."

"To be honest dear, many people don't even care that much about this whole matter with Triton... For them, this is just an excuse to grab for that throne. And if it weren't for that trident you're holding there, they'd be far less subtle in that matter."

"I'm afraid I can guarantee you this... Blood is going to be need to be shed before this matter is settled."

The man frowns, seemingly thinking, staring to rocks at the side- Those who pay close attention able to see that he's checking the other merfolk, hidden behind them.

"...Another question. From the people you met so far- Who of them do you trust completely?"

Cut seems to be a bit at ease. Wiether t is because he put the rune away, or that it is a farce, she does not let it show.

"Defiently not you. You just threatened our lives so that we talk. I trust my clanmates, but i presume you speak of Nami. Though I have no idea why you would doubt her. She is the sea witch and wielder of the crown."

(Burns, do you mean a farce? i can't quite tell)

"Cut, you know he was asking Nami. Let her speak first."

Don't worry about the rune, it can't dispel anything, it doesen't even have an area effect. Should I call him out on his bluff?
(If possible, studies whispers this to Nami as well, but if he can't then he just sends it out over the heartbound connection).

Not yet. Let him think that he has the upper hand. When we need it then we call it out. And I know he meant Nami, but it is amusing to mess with him.

Hats. Asatun.

Born knows the question isn't for him, but he finds himself running through the list of people he's met so far in his head. Paradox and ATLAS. Richard. Mobius and Tripp. Misery and Dr. Gray.

...Hats and Asatun, he decides. And Ansem, he adds a moment later. Studies, Drowns, Hears, Cut. Caroline. And I guess Nami, he finds himself thinking. Not Richard, not really; he looks out for himself first, and he's lasted too long ruling Kraken's Cove for Born to ever trust him completely. But sure, Nami.

There are others, certainly; people who Born doesn't expect to actually betray him, but who he doesn't expect to stand with him to the end, either. Tripp, for example, or Jack and the other Atlanteans. But even so, the list is longer than Born was expecting it to be.

Born shrugs. "She only just met everyone here," he points out. "She's lived on land all her life."

Reacting to some unconscious thought of Born's, the Jabbawack blurs into a formless mass of different weapons superimposed over each other. Different shapes flicker through it, some of them familiar, until a copy of Maxwell's harpoon cannon solidifies around Born's forearm with a click from some internal mechanism.

It doesn't exactly seem like it's changed shape, per se; it seems more like it's simply being Maxwell's cannon more than it's being other things. Other shapes continue to flicker around it every so often.

Regardless of what it's doing or how it works, Born likes the artifact's initiative. He doesn't raise his weapon at Tyrone or change his posture, but he uses his free hand to activate his goggles, and has Caroline scan the merman while the others are talking.


Major action: Changed Jabbawack's form (A harpoon cannon similar to Maxwell's, sized for Born. Includes two small stakes that can fire from the sides and anchor onto things, to aid Born in pulling things that outweigh him).
Minor action: Scanned Tyrone.

"Cut, you know he was asking Nami. Let her speak first."

"Very true... With that being said dearest, I'd... Question your intelligence if you trusted me. Which is not to say it might not be wise to put some weight behind my words..."

As Born considers who his OWN true allies are- Coming up with a considerably small list, he firstly quickly asks for Caroline to scan the man- Her picking up on this information, as she quickly transmits the data:
► Show Spoiler
before he warps the Jabbawack into a different form, idly remarking-

"She only just met everyone here. She's lived on land all her life."

"I know that." The old man quite bluntly states. "But the matter of fact is, of all those people she met, she's going to need to find out who she can see as friends. And who is going to be her enemy."

"Honestly, it doesn't matter that much to me... I just... Want to see how much of a judge of character she is."

"...Fine. Firstly, I trust my dad. He's... Not beyond backstabbing a stranger out of a deal, I admit, but he won't do that to me, or anyone he considers his allies."

"...I trust Alvar too. He's been pretty determined in trying to prepare me for this whole shitstorm. Behind that cold determination though he's shown some compassion, so... Yeah, i trust him."

"I... Guess I also trust the archmage. Not too sure about Jack. He's a bit shifty."

"And from that point I guess it's just downhill. What little 'nobility'"
she says, with an almost mocking tone, "I met didn't seem to like me. Not sure which of those as you seem to refer has the guts to try something though... The duke seems like he'd love to see me go even if he's too lazy to do anything himself. And this advisor fellow made it quite clear we're not friends..."

"...As for you? I think you're a manipulative fuck, and if it weren't for you threatening my friends or your fucking goons, I'd smite you where you stand."


"I know dear, I know..."

"Again, though- I don't intend to hurt anyone, unless I don't have a other choice. Believe it or not, but I only want to find the solution that's the best for... The majority of people."

"...With you deciding what that is?"

"To my best ability."

"Anyways, some actually important questions..." he says, seeming to bite his own lip as if to brace for his next question-

"How... Do you feel towards arranged marriage?"

"...Not happening."

"Are you certain? Marrying one of the you-"

"Not. Happening."

"...Fair enough."

"Anyways... Considering that you've been a... Human-" He says, almost seeming as if he had to throw up a little in his mouth to say the word, "For most of your life, I can already guess the answer to the next question. So let me ask another one- Rather than asking you how you feel about... Humans and surface-dwellers... Can you agree with the fact that firstly, you technically always were merfolk..."

"And secondly, that we merfolk are superior to landdwellers?"

"...Oh you're one of those fucks..."

Cut whispers to Nami. "He bluffed when he said the runes will dispell anything, let alone a powerful spell. I suggest not attacking him quite yet, but I will prepare to shield most of us from his attack, if you wish to aggress."

"Now, Tyrone. If that is indeed your name, you really think this argument is nessicary? I mean obviously goblins are superior than all. :roll: Did that piss you off? It should."

In relation to cut's whisper, did Studies manage to whisper that info to Nami last turn, or did he think that would be too suspicious?

"...I'd tell you to let Nami speak, but any chance of this being diplomatic is shot to hell anyway, so i suppose i'll just ask you a question:

Why would you say it that way? What you just said was one of the the most offensive ways to show your bigotry there is, and you are talking to a group of surface dwellers. I'm forced to conclude that you really are that bigoted in which case I have little interest in talking with you, or you have some reason to try and make us angry."

Everyone
As Studies whispers of the rune bluff to Nami, her eyes widen for a moment before she subtly takes note- Though definitely taking note of it- 'Tyrone' takes note of the matter, but doesn't comment.

"Now, Tyrone. If that is indeed your name, you really think this argument is nessicary? I mean obviously goblins are superior than all. Did that piss you off? It should."

"...I'd tell you to let Nami speak, but any chance of this being diplomatic is shot to hell anyway, so i suppose i'll just ask you a question:

Why would you say it that way? What you just said was one of the the most offensive ways to show your bigotry there is, and you are talking to a group of surface dwellers. I'm forced to conclude that you really are that bigoted in which case I have little interest in talking with you, or you have some reason to try and make us angry."


"Now, now, you seem to be taking personal offense to this. Let us just take a step back shall we? Look at this from an objective standpoint... It's not an opinion- It's a fact."

"Let us compare our race to the common men- Fair enough, we originally all were just simple humans... But these changes we went through... Were not just merely to adapt to our lives here. They were improvements. One could almost say that Orpheus was playing god... The general merfolk is stronger and has more constitution than that of an ordinary human. Not to mention the age- We merfolk live around twice as long. I can tell- 153 years and counting."

"...Well, by your logic, dwarves and elves would still be above you."

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong dear- While elves may live for a far longer time, they are, in general, weak. They make up for that in their magic expertise, of course. Similarly, dwarves, also live far longer, and are indeed stronger than us. But what they have for that, they lack in magic capability."

"But we come from the race of men- A race that always stood the middle ground between the two, the potential for both power and magic. And always came out on top- And we descended from them, and were improved. Even if, admittedly, our magic got channeled into two big groups... Runes and water magic."

"As for goblins... I'm sorry dearest, but they are a lesser version of men. Like the weaknesses of the other races combined..."

"...What about gnomes?"

"...What about them?"

"...Well, you're still not right."

"And also? Possibly crazy."


"You might think that dear... But it's an opinion shared by many. And here's the kicker- We once were human. And to this very day, we seem to cling to that sentiment. You've seen the city center. We keep it as some kind of artifact of what we used to be. It's slowing us down like a cancer."

"And very many agree with that sentiment dear. So... If you were to adapt that sentiment- Perhaps you'd be able to sway a lot of opinions."

Nami seems to consider his words for a few moments- If only out of a "Maybe he's right with that" rather than an "I agree"- Before eventually stating.

"...You know what?"

"I think it's the other fucking way around."

"As far as I know, you guys cut off all communication with the surface world- Over some old thing that literally happened fucking centuries ago. And as far as I know, that's the only thing holding you back from doing so. That, and probably a whole bunch of stubborn old grumps... Like you."

"And you know what?"

"I think I might just fucking change that."


Tyrone's eyes widen momentarily- Before lowering his head and shaking it.

"My dear... I just offered you my every thought I could think off that would allow us to go through this with as little losses as possible. And you shot them all down."

"I fear that you give me only one choice now..."

"So this is how it's going to go-" He says, now facing directly at the party, one hand again reaching for the rune.

"I am going to leave."

"If you try to stop me... I'll be throwing this rune right at your friends, with all the horrible consequences that will have."

"After that? You'll wait 5 minutes. Do that, and you can leave scot-free. Try to leave in my pursuit... And my friends you seem to be aware of by now will stop you."

And having said that, the man takes a small kick off the ocean floor- Doing a slow backpedal as he waits to see the party's reaction...

As Tyrone makes his speech about merfolk being amazingly superior, Hears furrows his brow. But he stays silent, until the sea-man begins to swim away, at which point the goblin raises his hand in objection.

"Erm, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but your argument about merfolk being objectively superior is....well, flawed."

"For one thing, you guys are pretty much restricted to the ocean, right? I mean, you can go out of the water, but you lose a lot of your strengths by doing so. At the very least, you're less maneuverable. Because of just that, I'm actually pretty sure I could beat any one of you in a straight fight on land. Not so sure about underwater, but I'd be willing to give it a try, if I had to. And I'm just one goblin - if a single "lesser version" of man can beat your species, then wouldn't the regular men have an even better shot?"

"And of course, even if you don't believe me when I say I could do something like that, there's also the big, obvious fact that you're completely overlooking. That, if merfolk are so superior....then how did Triton, apparently the most powerful merfolk of all, lose his crown to a ragtag group of goblins and humans. Especially when he had an army backing him up. Plus the Trident thing."


And as he's saying this, trying to slow the guy down and get a reply, Hears begins chatting to the others via the Heartbound connection.

~Can I throw Rhongomiant at him? Voice wants to throw Rhongomiant at him. Quite badly.~

"No. You are worse off. Your culture is stagnant, many of you are bigots, and really your offer is nothing. You are blinded by your ego. And you know what? Being able to live longer means you are less likely to learn new, to adapt. Your people are stagnant in old ways. Sure goblins are weaker physically, and as a whole we do not have much magic. But in the course of only a few days we have became more powerful than your average human.

Now if you really think that you are superior in everyway then you are lost, and everybody that agrees with you is the same. As for your threat, you probably have not heard because of your lack of communication, but I assure you that if you do go with your threat and do indeed kill us, then you will face the concequences of the only ones attempting to save the universe from becoming non existant and that includes yourself this city everything. We do not need this blatant bigotory, nor you to stop us and kill us.

Of course, there is a problem with you tryig to get away. You see, we have access not only to the trident, but numerous other sources. So answer this, why did you ambush us? You only showedyourself as a threat and you gained nothing."

Since Nami doesn't seem to care whether Tyrone is stopped or not, Studies will only launch into his distraction speech if it seems like the others want to stop Tyrone/are acting on it now. Otherwise, he will begin changing the rune into an explosive/unstable rune, but other than that just watch Tyrone leave.

"By the way Tyrone, there's something you should know before you go. I won't hold your ignorance against you, very few people know this, but it's a really bad idea to threaten me with runes.

You see, i have a pretty interesting power, namely the control of all written language, at a considerable distance. So even if that rune was what you say it is, and it's not, then you never would have gotten the chance to use it. Like so:"

Studies detonates the rune in his face.

"Your turn guys."


I'm kinda hoping that 'talking is a free action' is in effect here, simply for the cool line. That said, if Tyrone tries to activate the rune early, then Studies blows it up as soon as he makes a move.

Edited to change conditionality.

"So go already," Born calls after him. "What, are you hoping we'll invite you to stay?"
