Quoted By:
Old Salty is tricky. Getting him in the water, gonna be painful, maybe fatal, for almost everyone involved.
However, if he is focused somewhere else then he cannot -
Wait it looks like Old Salty is a she.
If She cannot get to the water- then she cannot use ambush tactics and is out of er element. However this means getting to her and keeping her off balance. Crocs are fast. But you are faster.
"I will keep her distracted, and keep her on land. Follow close behind, dodge her tail spikes." You say and the honor guard does the spear slam and Deliah does the bark call to the ready.
This causes a bemused look among the sons of the eleventh, and an actual nervous look from those from pariah island who joined you. Ya can't hide ya smirk because this looks like it's gonna be fun.
If ya don't die.
You run up right over the water, grab a spike from her tail and run up her back. Ya can feel her body starting to respond, ya woke her up. It doesn't take ya long to bonk her on the nostril with her own spike and then make a loud noise at her. Ya have gotten her attention, and managed to piss her off.
She is as fast as she is big, but she aint as fast as ya, because ya actually able to run backwards and still be ahead of her, which while shocking is a bit tricky. Ya keep eye contact with her and your axe out, and swing a few times, and you realize her carapace is tough. She follows you out of the water completely and Deliah leads the honor guard with a quick and quiet bark. Your sons, the pariahs shrugging and lead off as your sons seem to appraise the situation, and move a different way. Looks like they got a good plan. Ya hope.
Old Salty snaps fiercely and shakes the water off. You hit her, and she doesn't like it. The chain axe works when it's on, otherwise it doesn't seem to have the strength to do the job.
Which is a problem when the girls get a few prodding strikes in with their spears instantly angering her and earning her ire.
>> Quick, switch to the daggers- they have the potential to pierce the hide a bit better
>> Distraction, attack her a bit and bait her away, use loud noises and flashy attacks like ya do with an onery murder bird
>> Danger. Jump on her mouth, take two teeth and cause her enough pain to really focus on ya.
>> Make a call to the girls, pull her further into the woods and start using the trees against her.
>> Perform the sword dance, even though ya da aint really showed ya it yet, it would be good for this, but ya better hope ya don't mess it up
>> Write in
