Mission:
I was called into the castle of the Emperor himself, Ublaz. Several crewbeasts were found half-eaten on the shore one morning, supposedly caused by a great snake-like creature in the water. I was assigned to take the Deathsail out into the sea and hunt down this creature. I was also ordered to send crew members in the water and to see what happens. SLightly appaled, I ecided not to go against the Emperor's words and took with me some of the slaves sentenced to die from the prisons, just to kind of kill two birds with one stone. Our ship sailed out to the point where the rat said he saw the great serpent, and we set anchor for a few hours. Every eye was set out on the sea, to catch a glimpse of the creature. When midnight came, I decided to set the slaves in the water, like what Ublaz had told me to do. We lowered the wreteched creatures into the sea attached to long ropes, and once again, watched. Nothing happened for a few hours, but when several crewbeasts decided to hit the sack, it came. At first we heared nothing a few moans from the prisoners, which we thought might've been because it was getting cold, but suddenly one of the otters we had down there, who had been yelling, suddenly became quiet. I looked over the side, and to my horror the otter had been chewed through. Setting guard, we watched again. Then, a squirrel off the port bow started to scream. I rushed over and sure enough, a great black serpentine creature was eating the beast. Determined to capture the water beast, I unslung my bow and quiver and shot an arrow at it, but the arrow broke over the scaly hide. I toook out one of my throwing knives and hucked it at the beast, but the knife was stuck in the creature and it didn't even feel it. I decided that the only weapon that could subdue the creature was the almighty sword-staff, and unhooking the weapon from my scabbord I jumped overboard. My crew, trying to help in any way they could, cheered me on. I struck at the snakefish several times, but nothing happened. I decided to use an ability that has only recently been known to myself, my electric blade stab. Summoning up a massive amount of energy, one of the blades on my staff glowed gold. Shoving the blade within the snakefish, I charged all of the electric energy into it. Paralized, the beast fell prostrate. Retrieving my knife and staff, I climbed aboard the Deathsail and we all hauled the thing onboard. Quickley, we shipped the snakefish to Ublaz's palace, where he now uses the creature to "entertain" unwelcome visitors. I am still learning how to master my electric blade stab, but hopefully, soon, I will use it in battle and attain perfect victory.
