"Maybe you should let me do that," Brand said tactfully.

The next door was too easy to open because a flood of water awaited them on the other side. Brand was able to force the door closed despite the ton of water trying to pour in.

As they pondered what to do they heard an odd song...a sea shanty being sung in another language. As they listened a pair of double doors opened and a small boat with four men in it came floating in...the source of the song.

"Stranger and stranger," Brand mused. "Be careful, girls."

"Not the strangest thing to happen so far" Mercuriel mused watching the boat a small laugh escaping her lips, it was quite the bizarre sight for her. She rolled her head a little and looked around, thanks to the wrong door a moment ago the water seemed to have risen just a little and it seemed a fair bit murkier now. "But yeah I shall endeavour to be careful" the nineteen year old girl states as she moved forward, wading through the cold water.

The soggy maid gave a small smile as she came to stop besides the boat, listening to the song for a moment, before raising her hand to give a friendly wave. "Ahoy there!"

The men looked like escaped pirates from the Disney movies. The second they spotted the four in the water they became very excited. They whipped out slightly rusty curved swords and the raft somehow began to turn towards them.

"Plunder ahoy!" One of them called out, followed by and eager "Aye!" from the others. One of them opened a chest on board and started pulling out manacles.

"Getting off to a good start here," Brand growled as he stepped forward, putting himself between the men and the girls.

Mercuriel took a couple of steps back, they would have noticed them sooner or later, how could they not the four of them were the only other things in the room. She didn't feel too bad though, her eyes fell upon the blade and she pursed her lips in thought, though rusty they looked like could be quite useful and she thought about nabbing one when she had the chance, it could add nicely to her growing collection of weapons.

The nineteen year old shook her head, a slightly annoyed look on her face, she cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted. "Parley!"

They men laughed.

"Blast into the depths whoever invented Parley!" The leader shouted back. "We will hear yer terms fir surrender!"

"How about I not sink your boat and rip you all to shreds if you put these stupid swords away?" Brand called out. "Then we can talk."

Brand was clearly spoiling for a fight he could win.

Mercuriel let out a slightly relieved sigh, the situation seemed to be calming down at least, she put a hand on Brand's shoulder and stepped next to him a small laugh escaped her lips and she gave the girl's behind her a thumbs up. "Do try to deescalate thinngs"

The Soggy Maid called out to the group on the boat. "First you'll discard your weapons except for one, you'll give one to me because I want a sword.....Then you'll disembark your boat and seperate to four corners of the room....We'll take the boat.....Do this and my servants fists A and B won't meet your faces."

The four men laughed.

"A lass with a sense o' humor," the leader declared. "Nah. We'll be skinning yer lizard an' taking yew aboard. Waste not want not and all!"

"Lizard?" Brand seethed. "I look like a lizard to you?" He spread his wings aggressively.

"Kill him," the leader ordered indifferently.

The three men leaped into the water, swords drawn.

Mercuriel pouted looking put off that they would dismiss her terms so casually, she shook her head a little after all she still had her knife. The nineteen-year-old shifted back moving away from Brand, she didn't want to get in the way of the lizard man's fight. The nineteen-year-old cracked her knuckles and held her satchel close, the woman moved around, aiming to circle around while the three were distracted. With any luck she could creep up on that leader of theirs and give him a good head kicking.

Gayle had no weapons or training at all, so she wisely kept out of it.

The three men ignored the girls and came at Brand. Their initial attack was not terribly impressive. One of them swung his blade at Brand's face while another thrust at his belly. Neither sword penetrated. Brand swept aside the attack to this face while the sword at his belly simply broke. They might as well have been attacking Superman.

The pirate whose sword broke suddenly lunged at Brand, his mouth sprouting shark-like teeth. Incredibly, the teeth bit down hard...and drew blood.

Brand shouted in surprise at the unexpected pain. They other two pirates dropped their swords in the water and leaped on the dragon, also sprouting sharp teeth. They swarmed the angry dragon, biting savagely. Worse, they were actually doing damage.

Mercuriel stopped in her tracks, turning to look at the fight she had a look of concern upon her face, but he was strong she was sure he could overcome this obstacle. The nineteen-year-old shook her head and moved on, she dived forward the splash being drowned out by the fight, holding her breathe she swam beneath the murky surface moving as quick as she could she easily closed the distance to the boat.

The nineteen year okd took out the chef''s knife and lunged from the water, aiming to get on the boat and grab at the leader, hoping she'd be able to take him by surprise and pin him down quickly.

Emilia and Gayle threw themselves in to the backs of the fanged pirates. Things get very ugly very fast on the battle. While Brand had been caught by surprise he was still inhumanyly strong. The pirates were suddenly being throttled and beaten by his big fists, and he appeared to be breaking their bones. They were certainly bleeding more than he was.

Mercurial snuck up on the pirate raft and was able to get up behind their leader. They man was cheering his "boys" on despite the thrashing they were getting.

Mercuriel grinned, she loved it when things were going her way, the nineteen-year-old wet her lips and nodded slowly taking ina deep breathe being as quiet as she could. Then she lunged forward wrapping an arm around the man's shoulders and putting the knife to the leader's cheek, lightly pressing the blade against it, seeming ready to strike if she needed to.

"Look now, going to have to ask you boys to stand down and surrender."

"A wench with some fire," the man observed. His teeth became sharp as he grinned. "But you don't have the guts to do it, little girl. You're not a killer.

"But I am."

He turned on her fast, ignoring the cut along his face.

"ak hey!" Mercuriel exclaimed, taken by surprise by the man's sudden movement, she wasn't an experienced fighter the worst fight she'd ever been in was back on the playground, The maid shook her head almost loosing her grip on the knife she held, her grip on the man's body was definitly lost and she fell to the floor of the boat, shaking her head a little.

She panted her cheeks flushed a light shade of pink as she raised the knife ready to defend herself from the floor.

The pirate sneered and swatted at the knife. He again ignored the cut across his hand. He laughed at the pain...if he even felt pain.

A blast of lightning struck the man...fired by Brand and searing the pirate's shoulder. Now he reacted with obvious agony as he gripped his arm.

The knife fell from her hand and she tutted an annoyed look on her face, the human woman brought her leg up swinging her foot up into the man's crotch acting on the distraction Brand's lightning had given her. Mercuriel tutted shifting about grabbing the knife and pulling it close as she scrambled to her knees before the man she aimed it at the pirate.

"L....Look it is in your best interest to surrender now.....Or else."

The pirate leader was shaking from shock. His eyes narrowed as he started incredulously at the girl.

"Stupid wench..." He began.

Before he could continue he was jumped in from behind. Gayle had a length of cloth and she used it like a garrote on the pirate's neck. The pirate lunged forward...

The sudden arrival of Gayle rocked the boat and Mercuriel would stumble to her feet moving to avoid the lunge, she brought her leg up again quickly slamming her foot once more into the pirate's crotch panting a little a smirk on her face and she flashed the red haired gayle a thumbs up. "Thanks for the save Gayle appreciate it."

The boat rocked suddenly, and something made a couple of great waves in the water that seemed to knock them around a fair bit. The inhuman roar of the lich broke the silence, the water around the stairs began to thrash sending waves throughout the water. The lich had torn itself free of Brand's attack and was on the move again and why not at this point it was only a couple of rooms behind them.

The rocking Caused Mercuriel to lose her balance and she lost her grip on her knife, then stumbled about ending up slamming into Gayle knocking both of them to the floor of the boat.

Brand grabbed the pirate leader by throat and sent another charge of electricity through him. A moment later he threw the man's body into the water and climbed into the raft.

"We have to get out of here!" Brand said as Emilia climbed aboard. "How do we control this thing? We need to find the stairs..."

Before Brand could finish speaking the raft suddenly turned beneath their feet. The boat moved entirely by itself back in the direction it had come from.

"I guess we command it now," Emilia said. "Get us to the stairs to the next level as fast as you can!"

The raft began to oblige.

Mercuriel shifted about clambering up from the floor of the boat to take a proper seat, her eyes wandering over the floor. She grinned wildly seeing the leader's dropped sword and pulling it closer to herself, looking it over, it was rusted but she could still make good use of it. The nineteen-year-old sighed as the boat pulled them along, the doors opened to let them through.

Mercuriel peered over the edge of the boat, there were fish in this room and they came up to greet the boat as they sailed along and she gave a small laugh, there was quite the colourful variety to examine, and she felt she could get lost doing so. The nineteen-year-old looked ahead, the water rocking them gently along, behing them they heard the roar of the lich.

The maid winced a little looking back then down to the fish, they seemed unconcerned with the creature behind them and she sighed, the doors ahead of them opened and they entered a large open room, similar in scope to the dessert they had just been in. The water remained as deep as the original room it seemed and with the boat they could cross it in no time.

There were large rocks jutting out from the water some that angled high and others that would allow them to rest on should the need arise. The parts of the rocks closest to the water seemed covered in a strange type of algae that glowed a red colour there was also a strange mist that spread out across the water, only faintly so as not to draw too much notice. "wow looks pretty" Mercurial states a small grin on her face, she cast a glance to Gayle and then back to the rocks around them.
