Black Tentacle

Solaire grins and claps Priscilla on her shoulder after witnessing the arrow strike true, "Well done!"

Priscilla smiles, nods and knocks another arrow.

Quelana grumbles at the fact it was her spell that did most of the work, but adds yet another Lingering Flame to Priscilla's arrow.

Ciri was pacing up and down Cerys ship, Seath in hand. Yennefer turns her attention away from the battle and questions what she'd doing, "If you wish for something to do, there are cannons that need to be reloaded."

Ciri shakes her head, "I was expecting us to board their ships, not this battle of artillery! Whatever, I'm just going to do it my way!" she exclaims. Sprinting and leaping off of the boat before disappearing in a flash.

Geralt calls for her, "Ciri!" But she's already gone... Though he could see the men on a distant Frigate in chaos over something... An explosion throws some off of the ship as an ashen haired-" Damn..." He mutters, realising she'd teleported aboard the ship.

Ciri had appeared behind the Helmsan of the Frigate and easily beheaded him, kicking the wheel and sending it spinning clockwise, causing it to turn and crash into a nearby Corvette and sinking it. The men on board almost immediately notice her and begin trying to apprehend her. They head up the stairs with weapons drawn but Ciri points her palm at them and shoots a stream of fire, causing the men to fall backwards down the stairs in a pile. She continues to shoot flames while turning her focus on the sails and ship itself.

Yet another Frigate goes up in flames without warning, though the Nilfgaardian Admiral could spot the intruder from his own boat and commanded his men to be vigilant. Ciri then jumped off and teleported to another Frigate, attempting to kill the Helmsman in a similar fashion to the last.

*CLINK*

He was perceptive enough to realise something wasn't right and managed to catch her blade with his, as a large man he was stronger than Ciri and forced her away from him. Though she used the momentum of being pushed to transition into a sweep to his legs, manages to buckle the man's knees.

She then goes in for a stab at his face but he throws himself to the side as two heavily armoured Nilfgaardian soldiers rush in and try to cut her down. She pushes her hand out and casts a powerful Aard, throwing one off of the boat and to his death, while the other lands heavily against the Gunwale.

Ciri then blocks a strike from the Helmsman, deflecting it with one hand while conjuring a pyromancy with the other. She kicks the man in the stomach to get some distance before throwing the Chaos Fireball on the main deck, it explodes and covers the ship in lava.

As the men were looking at the devastation she'd caused she teleports back to Cerys ship to get a breather before heading out again, though Geralt has a couple of things to say about her recklessness.

On another longboat Undyne was already tossing spears while integrating Logans teachings into her style of combat. Her spears were usually only spiritual and couldn't harm the ships she was against, but with the compression, Formulae Logan had taught her she was able to form a small crystal tip atop her spears. This didn't make the spears effective against the Nilfgaardian boats however... Only against the men atop them, which was what she was aiming for. She'd already killed around twenty of them, most dying from the shock of taking soul damage for the first time.

Rhea was also incredibly busy, she was on a boat in the backline which is where all the heavily injured warriors were being taken. She shocked everyone but easily healing them and making them able to go back into combat as if their mangled arms and legs hadn't been shattered or broken at all. She did this all the while praising the "Two gods" and calling for the destruction of their enemies.

The battle was reaching its peak, Solaire had just gotten involved and was sending lightning raining down from the sky atop a cluster of Corvettes, instantly annihilating them and causing the nearby ships to flee behind the Frigates, fearing a similar phenomenon happening to themselves.

Once Reima saw a couple Nilfgaardian vessels looking as if they were going to retreat, he allowed the Staff of Manus to materialise in his hand and started channeling energy into it. More than he'd used against the Wild Hunt vessel previously. The red eye on the staff opens but Manus voice doesn't come as the axe blade begins to glow brightly.

He swings it horizontally, drawing a line in the hair that quickly moves forwards, cutting most of the Nilfgaardian ship's sails in half, completely crippling them.

The battle stops momentarily as everyone looks at Reima in awe, some begging to aim their cannon at him as he stands complacently atop the sails of Cerys ship.

*BANG!*

One fires at him, but he holds his hand out and grabs the searingly hot ball with ease, looking at it for a moment before throwing it back at the person who'd shot it. The man didn't get a moment to comprehend what'd just happened as his head explodes from the cast iron ball. His friends screaming in shock and terror as they are covered in skull fragments and grey matter.

Reima then grips the air with his outstretched hand, black flames beginning to materialise in his grip and forming some sort of giant tentacle. He swings it up and down, allowing it to slam onto the boat and cleaving it in half while incinerating anything it touches.

The leaders of both sides look at him in fear, not really knowing what to do with this person. Cerys could feel her hands shaking as she watches him easily tear apart a ship but Hjalmar comforts her, telling assuring her that Reima was on their side.
