"Hurricane" Exploration and Handling

by - Seth Richards

I’ve been entrusted with another task, and it is something I couldn’t imagine being placed into. The passing through what seems to be the entire plane needed to be investigated. And our team discovered way more than what we expected, or what I did, at least.
 
-
We found mushroom dog man, oh gods, I cannot remember his name for the life of me … but anyway, we found him close to the beach, right as actual monsters of the depths… the bad and gross ones, not the chaotic and fun ones… began to swarm out of the ocean, thanks to the storm.

We safely were able to make our way to safe location to discuss the options we had regarding the mission as well as many important details. We were entrusted with an “anchor” for the storm. A large egg-shaped device that pulsed with magic.

One good thing about me being stuck in this form here is that I always have a few extra limbs so that I can give an extra hand to anyone who needs it.

Our party made our way to a ‘church’ somewhat nearby. It seemed like a sect of sentient porcelain dolls were attempting to harness the entire hurricane to obtain energy from it. To try and gather power from something as unpredictable as a superstorm seems foolish, but at the time, they seemed certain they knew what they were doing.
 
But, they didn’t. Unfortunately, there was surge of lightning while we were there, putting much of the team in danger, and almost killing two of our own. And, unfortunately, killing all of theirs.
 
So much happened so quickly it’s hard to recall correctly. It seemed like we were truly going to lose LETO again. He was going to give himself to absorb the storm.

No one got fatally injured in our party, and with the help of the crew, there was definitely a net gain from the mission. Now we have an absolute superhero on our team: LETO. He can fucking fly. I bet he can shoot laser beams from his eyes, too. I should ask later.
 
NOTE TO SELF: ASK LETO LATER IF HE CAN SHOOT EYE BEAMS

Also, part of the storm was controlled/a part of a manticore. I believe they called him a ManaCore? I could be mistaken. However, this sentient manticore is completely made of energy. Manticores were something of legend even from my own home, but nothing prepared me for this creature, no, person. This is a person. His name is Maverick, and we can learn so much from each other. I truly hope he stays part of the crew. I would love to be able to speak to him at some point, but I’m sure he will be having his paws busy with speaking to others in the crew, especially the Captain.
