The Sea Serpent

ne day KugelBlitz, Phantom and Lizarda took me - Mad Biker - along on a boat trip to clean some islands of monsters. I was exited, as I never had been on a boat before. Wrapped in the turquoise robe KugelBlitz had dyed for me, I heard the little waves splashing against the bow of the ship. The sea was calm, and after a while we came across a Water Elemental, but fortunately it passed by, ignoring us. Then, some miles south of Trinsic our boat bumped into a Sea Serpent. The tillerman halted and the monster attacked us immediately.

Sea Serpents are dangerous creatures. We swung our weapons and fought it with all our power, when suddenly one of our companions - Phantom - kicked the bucket and died. We continued to fight, hack and sting the creature, and my health state was decreasingly excellent. I almost followed Phantom down to Styx, but luckily I managed to get out of the Sea Serpent's range in time and used the hiding skill. The Serpent then was somewhat confused, and Lizarda bashed it with her Halberd. After I had rested a little I felt strong enough to continue fighting.

Finally, the Sea Serpent's corpse sunk back into the water. We had defeated it! As none of us was a skilled mage, we quickly sailed Phantom to the next healer, so he could be resurrected and celebrate with us: We made a fire on the boat and enjoyed the Sea Serpent's steak. Back to the harbor of Trinsic, Lizarda was training her abilities of Musicianship and KugelBlitz was performing a funny dancing act. My experience in swordsfighting had now increased to Journeyman, which was great achievement!
