Open to Investigators

Everyone, listen to me! We can get through this, as long as we work together. Convince as many infiltrators as you can to help, too. I know things are rough right now, but we have to try to stay calm, and work this out as a team.

If you are in the water, find a Siren as soon as possible and ask them to sing the Song of Breath. It will allow you to breathe water for a short amount of time. It is better than drowning.

The Damsel - if there are any mermaids near your ship, ask them to see if they can push your ship upright, possibly check for leaks. Then head for the south channel as quickly as you can. Fire at the Leviathan's eye or near its mouth when that is done.

The Harbinger - don't attack its limbs! Unless you can cut through them from the underside, your weapons won't cut through the armored plating! If you can still fire upon it in some manner, cannon or magic or whatever, we must aim for the Leviathan's eye or near its mouth. Those are the two weakest spots. I would suggest its eye because its natural instinct will be to let go to protect it, and then we can head for the south channel as well.

The Panlong - try to take control of the ship. There is some mass confusion on deck - that may help whomever is not busy use Liminal portals, if we can set up a chain of them, to appear over there and storm the wheel, and get the ship turned around. Once it's down the channel, try to convince any Sirens you find to sing a Song of Calming and perhaps prevent a frenzy of Stricken. I know some are frenzying already, but try to keep them away from the healthy mermaids if you can!

I will answer any questions as I can, but we must be moving now if we are to survive!

Do you still have a gun crew aboard the Harbinger?

Are you aboard the Harbinger right now?

In my experience when large, angry things start coming after you, running away only encourages pursuit. Large, angry pursuit.

[ So Hawke feels they should like ...kill this thing before they start trying for any elaborate escape routes. He's just saying. ]

I've heard the powder they use for the guns here is quite explosive. If you can get the Harbinger clear of people before Ol' Squidface gets bored, you might be able to hurt it enough for us to actually make a retreat.

Leonardo--

[She, like him, is doing her best to get people to safety while continuing to combat the monster.]

We're going to need to evacuate soon. There's little more we can do to save the Harbinger now.

[ Everything is hitting all at once and Erwin is having one hell of a time keeping himself from going down with the rest of the ship. The sea, bodies of water in general, were never part of his life before this world, his swimming skills are average at best so it's imperative that he help save the ship he's on. He takes all of the information he's being given, goes over it multiple times in his head before asking questions. ]

And what would you suggest we do should the Damsel take on too much water? Will they be able to right the ship if it has completely capsized?
