"One ship down! Throw them a rope!" "Oh no! The Serpent is swinging around for another attack!" "Shoot for the eyes! Shoot for the eyes!" "Damn, I shoulda had cake last night! What's the point of eating healthy if you're just going to die!" "Where's that damn wizard when you need him?!?"

Best of luck to him! I'll do everything I can to help him, focusing my tremendous mental powers against the Sea-Monster from where I'm... eh.... focusing and all that. Lying flat on the floor of the ship. With closed eyes. ...Because, that's how we with tremendous mental powers, focus them. You know that, of course!!!. ..Don't you?

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the description. I didn't think folks would but I had this image of organized chaos as everyone is shouting or saying things at the same time but also shooting at the sea serpent or doing whatever sailors do for a ship like shifting the sail in a storm. It was a fun picture to do.

laughing, no. He just needs a moment to concentrate. Poor guy, he wasn't hired as a battle mage. He's better at healing spells. And the sea serpent shrugged off his first calming spell like it was molting skin.

Thank you! Yeah, I noticed I don't see folks either. Like usually I'll have seen the winner but maybe not #2 or #3 . Every challenge tho, it looks like they improve something so I feel like it's getting better.

I do love the whole deal. Titles, descriptions, backstories and of course the image. - Hmmmm - Makes me reflect on the "good ol' days" of vinyl albums: cover art, album notes, and of course the music

They don't need to kill it. Just convince it to go away because they are too much trouble to eat. So the wizard's going for a precision shot straight for snout
CaylaCatz
laughing, thank you! He's muttering a spell in the back of the shit, aiming to hit the serpent's snout. They are rather sensitive you know.

Great!!! In all the confusion, I think that I DO discern a wizerd there in the back.... don't know if he 'll be enough, though....
