RP- Anomalies in Avonmora

[Jack Teach]

Michael utters a mild curse and orders:

Set the sails so we'll continue to sail in the proper direction, I need only six of you on deck at once, the rest of you go below.

[Meliva]

The men quickly get to work, before quickly drawing straws to pick out the 6 to remain. A few take looks at the waters yet find no sign of the shark like monster. One man quickly shouts for Michaels attention as he points towards a very disturbing looking creature standing on a small rock nearby. It has long black hair, 3 dog like legs, a large and long chicken like beak, fish body and is glowing rather brightly. The creature looks to Michael with it's strange eye and speaks to him in a surprisingly pleasant voice

I wouldn't worry anymore about the beast that ate some of your men. It normally moves on once people catch on to it, and by now it's probably had it's fill.

A few men upon seeing this strange thing quickly begin whispering to each other to confirm that none imagining it.

[Jack Teach]

michael stares at the creature in fascination

What are you?

[Meliva]

The creature thinks for a moment before replying

I think the humans I tend to interact with decided to call me and my kind Amabie, or Amabiko. But to simplify things, I am sort of like a cousin to what you call mermaids. Anything else you would like to know? I havn't been in these waters long, but I've noticed a few things while here.

[Jack Teach]

Any ships go by?

[Meliva]

She nods

A fair few yes. A few merchants, a couple pirates. Pirates sank a couple of the merchants, til the pirate ships got gobbled up. Oh, I should probably warn you about that. Not to far from here near the harbor is a very large sea creature. Similar to the kraken, but quite a bit bigger. It actually swallowed those pirates ships whole. So if you run afoul of it, your probably going to be devoured rather quickly. You'll know when it's near when all the ocean turns red.

Although it is intelligent and isn't evil, so typically if you toss enough food into the water it will take it as a gift and leave you alone.

[Jack Teach]

Michael nods

Thank you.

Michael signals the other ship to dump abit if food along ass they go

[Meliva]

The Amabie silently jumps back into the ocean, as the ships pass by, about another hour later they arrive undisturbed to the harbor. Abe departs from his ship and quickly waves at Michael to come talk to him, as he frowns at the town. The locals are rather happy, waving at them as they go about their business.

[Jack Teach]

michael comes to shore in a rowboat and walks up to him

What's amiss?

[Meliva]

Abe just gestures to the town as he whispers

You were there at the last site correct, and you remember what it was like correct? Spirits and demons were coming out of them and being drawn in. But in that situation, they were contained in a cave by that witch. This site didn't have anyone to do the same here, and yet look at the town. No one looks even the slightest bit worried despite the fact that there's a spot nearby that is just like the one you saw. Don't you think that the average person, upon learning about such a danger being nearby wouldn't be smiling and acting like them?

Suspicious isn't it? Perhaps they just havn't noticed yet, but i still suggest you keep an eye out. We can go to the tavern and gather some information, or if you would prefer try the local church. Up to you.
