F&F C2-E69 (NICE) - Hostile Hostel

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests set forth across the Alboran Sea to travel halfway across the world to get to the far off Aztlan Empire to have Brick’s creators fix his malfunctioning core. Charting the Red Wave, a merchant vessel transporting wine and other spirits, they anchored down their wagon home and set off for their month-long journey. Along the way they were assailed by an as yet unknown entity, a gargantuan purple tentacled creature that seemed intent on dragging them all below the waves. Fending off the attack, the Tempests could do nothing but lose sleep in paranoia as the sailors did everything in their power to outrun the creature. Consulting with Fern, they found nothing matching the creature’s description and only discovered the creature’s name through a magic spell: Saedhir’s Grasp. Brick then beseeched the ocean goddess Ceto for aid, and to let her know that a creature was running amuck within her realm. On the condition of swearing silence for her aid, she gifted the mechanical being a shell that he was to break when her aid was needed.

The Tempests made good progress across the waves with a steady wind that seemed to always be blowing them into their intended path. That is until they happened upon a cluster of reefs that slowed their progress immensely. The creature had been following them and was now gaining while the ship slowly navigated the treacherous reefs. With only minor damage to the ship, the rudder being completely ripped off, they once again rushed off to their final destination: The Aztlan port city of Chalco. The Red Wave ground to a halt into the harbor and Kasumi NOPED right off the boat while Pez checked on Cassie below decks and both Brick and Zaan prepared for a fight at the back of the now beached vessel.

Sure enough, Saedhir’s Grasp attacked the party once more. But the Tempests were not so easily cowed and laid an absolute BEAT DOWN upon it. Brick shattered the shell and as the creature attempted to flee yet again, the waters receded and a massive tidal wave threw it onto dry land where the Tempests were able to finish it off for good.
