He's transformed into a mantis shrimp, you mad genius. You know, hence the whole "thank god I can breathe again now I'm in water" thing?

In that case, how do you know he went for a swim? Bah, whatever, I'm just cranky.

Next time I make an RtD, I'll make sure to include the fact that everyone is loosely telepathically linked.

... or something.

But for now, we'll just make fun of the fact that everyone somehow knows everything that's going on with everyone else.

Sorry about the long wait. School's picking up for the final stretch since it's May and all, and I've found that there is suddenly an abundance of work to be done. This has been my least busy day in a long while.

Lessee... what were we doing? Ah, right. The Gillmasks. Let's hop to it, then.

Torrent (Gillian) (8 - 3 = 5)

Pain clouding your vision, you just barely manage to coerce a weak wave of blue healing energy from your palm to your broken arm. It helps only slightly.
Then you put the mask on, and immediately you feel the air you breathe being filtered.
"Alright. This? This I can work with."




Ociamarru (Nikolai) (3)

"Be royt beyk."
You throw on the mask and jump into the water without a second thought. Air filters into your lungs easily - It's almost exactly like breathing above water. It just feels slightly more... odd, with this strange contraption shooting breathable air into your mouth.
You search around for weak points, but you can't see anything but shell. Unless you attack its face, which as already retreated, you can't get access to any squishy parts easily.




caekdaemon (Anderson) (2)

"How the ♥♥♥♥ am I meant to fit this on when I am wearing a helmet?"
"And I'm wearing full ♥♥♥♥ plate"
"And I just rolled a 2, dammit!"
"You know what, ♥♥♥♥ this. Lets do this ♥♥♥♥."
You slap the mask angrily onto your face, nearly hurting yourself in the process, and dive in with the others.
"I'm pretty damned ♥♥♥♥ sure I could build a ♥♥♥♥ catapult in half an hour with the right materials and tools..."
You continue to mumble angrily into the water, creating a stream of bubbles as you kick in no specific direction. The power of your anger seems to be fueling you, giving you enough energy to swim, even wearing a set of armor. Of course, you're not bothering to think about that.
"Also, I'm pretty ♥♥♥♥ sure Gabriel can come along too, since Raphael has decided to go for a ♥♥♥♥ swim without a ♥♥♥♥ mask."
You're just pissed at everything right now. Why is the world so ♥♥♥♥ annoying?




CaveCricket (Raphael) (4)

You continue to whack away at the crack, but you begin to feel a bit tired of the monotonous motion, and it's annoyingly difficult to attack underwater...
You don't make any progress.




Tokochiro (Johni) (-)

You put the mask on and jump in, swimming over to Foraqe. You see Raphael, as a very... large... shrimp... whacking somewhat un-motivatedly (No, I don't think that's a word) at the nautilus' shell.




Phd (John Adams) (-)

You dive fancily into the water, hitting with hardly a splash, and follow the others into the deep...



NPCs

Gabriel

Gabriel wordlessly wades into the water, puts on the mask, and dives. His sword splits, then both halves turn into large scoop-like shapes. He propels himself quite easily through the water with them.




Terry

Terry continues to struggle uselessly against the laws of physics, completely unable to sink underneath the surface. After a while, he stops, paddles back to shore, and marches over to a rather large pile of rubble. He opens a compartment in the Hunchback and begins loading rocks into it.



Locations
-Torrent and Terry are on the shore.
-Everyone else is in the water.

Foraqe suddenly makes a yawning sound, and with a huge stream of bubbles, SHOOTS off into the deep. It's moving incredibly fast for a something so large.
