>>5266083>Say goodbye to him for now, finish up here, and return to the sponge.Welp, this is goodbye then. You can always come back to visit, he says, once he's restored his security. Considering the fact that you killed all his underlings, you two are still on pretty good terms! Killing a giant crab together tends to do that.
((I've also realised I forgot to give XP, but I'll do that and the skills upon the next rest))
And so, the three of you move back towards the Sponge, in order to get The Captain settled in. He closes up the metal orb he came in, without even touching it. Amazing! It takes a while to get there, and you give Ol' Salty a nod as you pass by. Cornu marvels at the sight of the giant shell, but doesn't linger. Eventually, you reach the Sponge, and see Bull's feral brothers grazing on it. They're no wiser to his death. And right in front of them is... HEY!
The two Ruffians are right there, caught in the middle of mounting an attack.
"Oh shit, bub."
"Hey! That's the dickhead from before, bub! Crap!"
And they have YOUR babe! You recall what Bull said about being able to control his own kind after eating a mote. These two assholes have dragged the Teal babe into their stupid little gang!
