"I say, that's quite the arrow," Mr. Bird comments in between bouts of trying to break the shaft with his beak.

Well, keep trying. There's got to be some way to get myself free.

"I'll help you get free, mighty flying stallion! Let's fly, you fool!"

If Bridman agrees to let Sebastian ride him away from this particular trouble, Sebastian will pull the arrow free for him and then leap to his back for aerial adventure!

Otherwise, Sebastian will ask the engine spirit to lower him on the opposite side from crabman so he an cower in a more stable location.

Children of the Most-Beautiful! I suggest you take cover near me. I will protect you with my cloak of flame in order to keep my compact with your progenitor.

Look around for the sand-sized idol the crab guy initially got summoned out of. Is it still on the deck someplace?

Write a note.

"Aww. Oh! free harpoon!"

Go unhook the chain from the harpoon. Supposedly there's a way to accomplish this, because having a super long chain permanently attached to your harpoon would be very inconvenient if you wanted to store or fight with the thing.
[6]
You float over to the chain and use your mind powers to sever it. Its actually pretty easy.

The deathclaw baby yanks the arrow out of one wing, trips, and drives it straight through the other wing.

[5]
You roll off the ground, run into the crew barracks, hide under some debris, and drink yourself completely unconscious.

Run for cover. I ain't dying here.
[6]
You hide with the dinosaur and cover your head while screaming about better homes and gardens.

Write a note.

You look around but if the sand grain is still around, which it might not be, you can't find it. So you hand your group a note that you wrote on...something.

More shooting.
[3]
You plink another shot off the creature.
[3]
It shoots up at you, clipping your arm.




The Warbeast has moved far enough from the beastie to be out of range from the arrows, assuming it doesn't follow you.

"Hah! Did you think that would work?!"

Loot the spear still stuck in the warbeast. Swing it around a little to test if it has any special properties.

"The Law of Improbable Unfortunate Occurrences dictates that you are the Comedic Relief, Mr. Bird! If i try to help you now, we'll both meet an unfortunate end. There, there, my fellow. We'll patch you up in the denouement.

Huh. I wonder - the Law of Numerous Mooks dictates that the lone opponent is, in fact, the Hero and will inevitably succeed against said Mooks. I suppose I, as Primary Antagonist, shall met my fate at the Climax, probably by falling dramatically off the warbeast. Fortunately for me, I am the Unkillable Antagonist, and as such, will claw my way out of the rubble in the closing credits. Unless I escape early while the Dragon meets his fate. Which of you is The Dragon?"


Sebastian believes that Mr. bird's wounds are "just flesh wounds" and as such, rather harmless. Meanwhile, he returns to the crew quarters rubble and fetches his handball.

"Everything you just said is false. The lone opponent is not the Hero, but simply a level-inappropiate random miniboss. If fate thinks it would be dramatic, it way show up again, for us to defeat in our stronger forms, or else it will be simply forgotten to the realms of non-memorable adventuring."

Hand the group the note? Nah, that's just going with the other ones I have in case I have to use the shell of wishing. I forget what exactly I was writing on, but I had paper from something, I know. And I started with that pen from the beginning of the game.

"You make the mistake of assuming this is a story, my glass orb. It is not. Stories have arcs, rises and falls, beginnings and ends. These heavens are infinite in scope. There is no room for an end to my story, and therefore yours, in the vast infinitudes of this plane. The only absolute, the only thing of any tangible value, is the one I will inevitably grasp at the center. On my own blood, my own self I swore this. That could perhaps be a story. But not this obstacle. It has already been forgotten.

Continue the current path away from the crab thing for about a minute more and then see if it's following us.

Oh, I should probably help the bird. Go do that.

I gave you the notebook I had from character creation, right after we got the shell.
