>>5356123Roll system? Normally just 1d100s, but in the case such as this against a significant opponent, something a little more meaningful...

Else they deny your god.>Looks like it's octopus for dinner tonight! Unleash your fury upon this pretender!The emergence of the kraken is surprising, but you certainly aren't scared. It would take more than another sea monster to get the better of you! Even if this one dwarfs you in size, even if this environment and depth is to his advantage, even if you are without your full powers.
And to demonstrate that you aren't afraid, you restate your rightful claim in bold defiance, even as the colossal mass surrounds you and the huge tentacles close in. Though the kraken may discard your position by human standards, he cannot ignore your very nature.
<span class="mu-b">"Grrr... human right or not then, the entire ocean remains my domain! As a child of Kili'ou'lokane, the drowned goddess, my will is divine and I deny you!"</span>
<span class="mu-r">"WWWWWhere is she little one? NNNNNot here with you now."</span>
So lacking in respect, decorum. Though you are both sea monsters, the kraken is merely a gigantic animal while you are something greater entirely. Time then to remind him of the natural order, as you go on the attack.
>36With a snarl you lunge directly for the kraken, swimming with such force that the cowering merfolk are scattered by your wake. In a mighty tackle you catch the monster off guard and crash through the ruined temple in a mass of tentacles, colliding directly with the seamount beyond. Though damage is certain, it doesn't seem as much as you'd hoped, realizing that the kraken is generally quite fleshy so crushing him isn't going to be an option. Furthermore, you've inadvertently delivered yourself right into his grasp, and he quickly wraps several tentacles around you. Maybe not stronger than you but much stronger than you'd anticipated, he pulls you away from his body and slams you into the mountainside several times.
>10You can take a beating yourself however, and being smashed into the ground is certainly jarring but not enough to cause significant harm. Your opponent isn't stupid however and is able to realize this. Smacking you around might not hurt you much, but something more... pointed could do the trick.
<span class="mu-b">"-AARGH!"</span>
Almost like an embrace the kraken draws you close once again, but this time towards his beastly maw. Struggle though you might, you can only prolong being bitten when eventually the huge beak digs into your body and rips a sizeable chunk out. It's been... who knows how long since you've suffered a wound like this, the water heavily mixing with blood.
