"It's just how I tend to operate with these social situations. This one was the easiest by far, but only because they are so isolated from other beliefs, plus the preconceived trust they have thanks to my mother. People who are lost tend to flock to those who promise salvation. Should their leader be a true or a fake is something they won't know until they are already at a point of no return..."
Despite being somewhat mad at you for the sudden suicidal scare, Farnese holds your hand after hearing the latter end of your speech, knowing that self deprecating comment stems from your self doubts, and the knowledge of what other corrupt leaders are capable of.
"I'm just glad to see someone taking my side for once! I've always knew that's how they really felt like on the inside. But I never knew how to use the right words to use! Not like they would hear me, with how stuck up they were. But it's hard to be mad at them... They're just doing what their mom and dad told them, same with me, their dads, and their dad's dads."
Isma comes over to give you a hug, though she stops midway after looking behind you, seeing the full moon already rising above the horizon.
Every hair in your body stands up as the once peaceful Od readings of the island were completely overshadowed by the Sea God below. Farnese has to hold you in place so you don't fall from the sheer oppressive force of the kraken. It's almost like you are seeing the future, with his tentacles moving as they drag you down into the unknown, joining him as one more of his undead pawns.
The monsters spawning from it's holes seem a lot more threatening now. Crabs the size of horses, sea slugs larger than Isidro, and tentacles that could destroy a ship with a single swipe. Though the Sea God is still sleeping, he is prone to involuntary movement at night, seeing as the bright shining from Sivir's orb had also shown his more alert activity.
Astral beings are always blessed by the full moon, a blessing that applies not only to it, but to you, Sivir, and perhaps Isma, as well.
>Let's continue as usual. Now that we were permitted access to the cove, we can call the rest of our team to help out.>Let's not look for more spots at night. There's a chance we might get blind sighted by a strong creature. There's still plenty of time, so focus on containing these fish.>Maybe we can try out Schierke's idea to teleport him away, Casca can make sure the island stays in place thanks to the axe.>Sivir's readings have gotten stronger, perhaps I can talk to her now.>Maybe we can try tapping into Isma's merrow abilities. Be on the lookout for any that pass by the island.>Something else.
