First up we get a glance at Dr.Squeaks (The Absolute Unit) > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > After that we are introduced to The Man! The Myth! The Legend!! Cap'n Barley!!! > Cap'n Barley is a goblin that was born a centaur (don't worry, his mother forgave him year's ago) and an absolute riot of a man > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > Next up the gang (with their annoyingly high passive perceptions lmao) spot one miss Citzie, disguising herself as part of the main mast (it was the amber-laden skull that gave her away) > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > Serenas Nat20's a nature check (that Nova also succeeds on but via higher modifiers, not via crit) and just immediatedly starts infodumping about what kind of kindred Citrus is to Gwyf (she's a wilter) > #0DaysSinceLastMicroAgression #NotVeryBeautiful #NotVeryPowerful #CritCount1 > AND THEN! AND THEN!! WE MEET–

♡PATTY DARLING!!!♡

#VeryBeautiful!! #VeryPowerful!!

Can not stress enough how important she is but I don't even need to because it's so obvious to literally anyone who interacts with her EVER > #AlsoIsatiImmediatelyPeggedHerAsTheGreatBigSeaBirdFromHerVision #AkaOneOfTheProspectiveLadiesOfTheHaremOfTheCourtOfKingCoraticus > We love her so much, and she and Knick-Knack are like two peas in a pod > #GoodForThem… #GoodForThem! #OhGodsThere'sTwoOfThemNow♥o♥ > Okay!! Next we go meet Tiano! He's a goliath psychae who lives in a permanent zone of magical darkness+silence for disability reasons > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > Tiano warns of an incoming Juno but first we run into Tikk-Tikk Boom! A big butch firbolg in mechanics overalls and freshly exploded face! > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > However that interaction is in fact cut short by the bright BRIGHT Light that is Juno!! A smol cephalokin shit disturber with blue/orange morality and no understanding of personal space ♡ > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > Romad & Juno immediatedly clock each other as #KindredCreechures™ > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > also Kirin casts & Nat20 Inverts a darkness spell on Romad to help him match the sheer luminosity Juno is rocking lmao > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful #CritCount2, #GoodCrits2, #BadCrits0, #FinalCritCount > Back above deck we catch the return of all but the last of the remaining crew (and also say hi to Chef Athenos! Who is #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful) > Seknir the first mate is too busy to talk for long but she is #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > Kohkii'alaeok the whale whisperer is another goliath and quite happy to meet all of you! > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > And of course! The Penultimate Guy¹!! BILGERAT!! > > #VeryCube–iful #VeryPowerful > No but for real this bitch is like a cubic meter in all dimensions and this is what Peak Performance™ Looks Like. > So wait, if that's the Penultimate, then who's the Ultimate Guy²? GREAT QUESTION!! > As Cap'n Barley comments on how all cargo has finished being loaded onto The Cosmonaught (Which I forgot to mention is #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful), you hear him also say “Ah and just in time too— ALL HANDS ON DECK MATIES! WE'VE GOT A RIDDILIN COMING IN HOT!!!” > #WhatTheFuckDoesThisMean > What it means is that down the waterfront you can see what appears to be a 2 to 3 foot tall priest in full coverage vestaments and a mask beating scaly feet like nobodies business (averaging 23.86mph (for reference, Usain Bolt's World Record top speed average'd 23.35mph and he only sustained that for under 10 seconds)) > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > And as this alacritous ale-spiller abounds aboard the deck we are all met with the sudden and jarring shift as the entire fucking ship and everyone on it teleports three miles out to sea. > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > Also Kohkii starts beating Riddles over the head with the blunt side of her glaive > #VeryBeautiful #VeryPowerful > OKAY THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!
