EPONA + AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[You land in a boat in the midst of the sea. The boat itself is simple enough, with only two embellisments; a masthead in the shape of a pair of horse and goat’s heads, and a clunky-looking cannon sitting right in the middle. Fog surrounds you; you can barely see past the edge of the boat.

There are also a collection of rather sparkly Epona and Amalthea-coloured cannon balls at your feet.]

Draw them into a corner somehow? It'd be easier then, but...

[ Frowning. ] There's no way to do that without risking a hit ourselves.

[goodbyenurse]

We cannot force their movements.. we can only fire once per turn.

[gandere]

We could if they weren't moving... [ Like a snake. Slither, slither. ]

[goodbyenurse]

I doubt they will ever not move. I am actually moderately certain they would not consider not moving.

[soulping]

[your cannon fires into the distance...

but from your left comes an answering shot, and there's a resounding SPLAT as you're hit with a ball full of sparkly purple paint.]

[acemedium]

..Ack! They got us! And they're on 4!

[goodbyenurse]

They stayed on four?! [I UNDERESTIMATED THOSE BLASTED SNAKES.]

[YOU ARENT NEARLY AS DUMB AS I THOUGHT.]

[acemedium]

So they did stay there after all!

[goodbyenurse]

Tch... So then we have things narrowed down to the same six block area, of 12, 45, 78.

This time, we should certainly move, in a completely random direction.

[acemedium]

Which direction? We're in the middle....

[goodbyenurse]

[...........consulting the RNG I keep in my brain.]

2.

[ I'm too angry and covered in sparkly purple paint to consider adding any input. ]

This is my last non-ripped uniform!

[goodbyenurse]

I see. And where shall we fire?

[gandere]

Isn't it obvious?!

[goodbyenurse]

I have concluded previously that thinking like them is not something I am capable of doing.

Thus, I am open to input.

[acemedium]

[So purple and sparkly...]

Mushroom can wash it... can't he?

[gandere]

I'm not letting some strange guy touch my clothes!

[acemedium]

Well... can you wash them?

[acemedium]

[UNSURE]

What are you guys thinking... Takshaka....

[goodbyenurse]

Focus, Star. We are dealing with Sparrow, Swan, and their final member who I have not met.

What would they do.

[acemedium]

They're getting off four for sure! But I think they're going to expect us to get off five, too..

[gandere]

I don't think it's wise to relinquish five to them so easily.

[acemedium]

They'd probably keep moving. We just need to figure out their movements!

[gandere]

Knowing them they're likely just picking a number at random and going off sheer luck!

[acemedium]

...Yeah, that seems like Takshaka....
