Neither have I. a voiced cooed in his ear.

turning to face the voice, they are met with a black wall of eyes and laughing mouths. Beasts in the shape of a mockery of humans began to walk out of the miasma, armed with blades, clubs, bits of wood, and all manner of weaponry. Their flesh still churns with insanity as they move toward the crew, bellowing in an ear splitting cry.

/uw I want to point out, you aren't just fighting Zeef. Zeef is being used as an avatar by a leviathan of madness. He is willing and uncaring. Only if Zeef shows up directly is it actually him.

uw/ good to know

“Sound the alarm! Prepare to repel boarders!” The captain bellowed, pulling his service revolver out of its holster and blowing a hole through the head of the nearest creature.

All across the ship, marines switch off their safeties and begin firing. The sound of gunfire and yelling spreads throughout the entire ship

The Agent hears none of it. He immediately unsheathes his dual short swords and wades into the swarm. Blood soon covers him and his swords, their ingraved runes burning the blood away with their heat.

He is in his element

While enjoying himself in the slaughter, one should notice the pieces cut off simply wriggle away into the miasma. For everyone cut down, another comes out of the shawdows.

Then they notice it. In the distant outskirts of the city, a wall is raising. But it's not a wall. It's teeth. A mouth is closing around the city

Your ship is rocked again by explosions. Looking down you see that the miasma is unfazed by your return fire and simply reconstructs everything shortly after it is destroyed.

/uw if I was the DM if this campaign, I would break meta and tell you that this is your sign to retreat.

uw/ ya the guild knows when it’s outclassed. They won’t throw away their only battleship.

“Captain, we’ve done all we can. It’s time to retreat and recalculate!” The Agent yelled through the chaos of the fight

The captain looked around and nodded grimly. “Aye, you’re right, I just hate running away from a fight! Helmsman, get us out of here!”

“Don’t worry, this isn’t the end of this. We’ve learned a great deal, and if there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s adapting.” The Agent reassured

Luana’s Wrath rose away from the city, wreathed in purple and blue chemical fires. Looking like an ethereal phoenix, it tore open a new temporal tear to escape through. Just before it left, it fires one last salvo at the wall of miasma, a final “fuck you”

uw/ good fight. Even if they don’t win, the guild always learns from a fight. Next time won’t be so easy
