The Sea Serpent
ne day KugelBlitz, Phantom and Lizarda took me - Mad Biker - along
on a boat trip to clean some islands of monsters. I was exited, as I never had been on a
boat before. Wrapped in the turquoise robe KugelBlitz had dyed for me, I heard the little
waves splashing against the bow of the ship. The sea was calm and we crossed with a
Water Elemental, but fortunately it passed by ignoring us. Then some miles south of Trinsic we
bumped into a Sea Serpent with our boat. The boat halted and the monster attacked us immediately.

Sea Serpents are hard opponents. All the four of us fought it, suddenly one of our companions - Phantom - kicked the bucket and died. We hacked and stroke and my health state was not very good anymore. I almost followed Phantom down to Styx, but luckily I managed to get out of the Serpent's range and used the hiding skill. The Serpent then was somewhat confused, and Lizarda stung it with her Halberd. After I had rested a little I felt strong enough to attack again.
Finally the serpent's corpse sunk back into the water. We defeated it! We quickly took Phantom to the next healer, so he was resurrected and could enjoy the party with us: We made a fire on the boat and enjoyed the Sea Serpent's steak. Back to the harbor of Trinsic again Lizarda was training her abilities of Musicianship and KugelBlitz was performing a hot dancing act. My experience had now increased to Journeyman; that sure was great!
