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!

Twice, bro. The Orange Illuminant remembers you... not that that's very important rn]It won't matter if one of them gets injured and starts bleeding. The other Stricken might attack them instead. Just... please be careful!
I just thought... since the Leviathan lives in deep waters, if we got the mermaids into shallow water, it would not be able to harm them and it would stop trying to harm us.

OH RIGHT yeah okay Hawke was pretty into that guy. He has, perhaps, not met much of Leo himself though.]I'll see what I can do.
[ Look, he's putting this information into active practice and everything! ]
Does this plan have an element to account for what happens when we get caught between the navy and our friend there? It doesn't seem the type just to give up and go away.
no subject
Perhaps we can hole ourselves up in the channel and continue firing long-range?
no subject
Oh sure, I like being cornered about as much as the next fellow. --wait. Does anyone like being cornered?
no subject
... surely we've done some damage to the Leviathan. I only thought, if we were out of its range, we would not have to deal with the heat, or with the maddening effect, or with its strong tentacles. Then we could focus on fighting it.

[ Hawke ...no it isn't. ]

... but it would be a bad idea to stay for much longer - the Captain wants to explode the powder reserves. And frankly I am terrified enough as it is.
