Assuming Lag pushed pole through floor and left a bit of dirt between momentary lava and wood
**Arl had moved closer to Laghairt when he'd started moving away, but still stood a few yards away from the massive warrior. She mouths the words "What is it?" and motions towards the sleepers with her head.**
Laghairt mouthed back "Big, disturbing monster. Wake them up." The Ogofta backed away from the room and then charged forward at the monster. He slashed downwards at the creature's most obvious head if he got close enough to it.

Olus had appeared over his shoulder at some point and he quickly went back and quietly shook the others awake and gestured emphatically towards the other room.
**The monster doesn't even seem to notice him until his blade chops into the skull of the front body's head. Thick, neon-blue gunk splashes out of the injury as the monster quickly pulls out of the room. Very quickly, in fact, as though something else had pulled it up and out. He also heard a distant grumbling.. or was it just a particularly loud bit of thunder?**
**Those who exit the ship see another of the body monsters hanging high above the ship, it's end out of sight. The original body monster soon comes into view on the other side of the ship, some clay apparently having been molded over the injury.
The storm had mostly ended; violent winds had been replaced with slow falling snow. There were, however, dark clouds gathering in the sky a few hundred feet behind the ship.**
Kage was slow to rouse at first. Then he saw Lag making a run for it, and just like that he was up and moving. If Lag was running, Kage should definitely be running. "What is happening?" He asked of no one in particular.
"Make sure you run faster than this next thing you see. It will be freaky, and it won't be on our side, but it also won't be with that thing." Kage said as he stopped for a moment to let the others get in front of him. He then opened a door to Nod and let out a beast as he ran away with a shroud between him and the creature. He also left no tracks. Hopefully this one goes better than the last creature he let out.
**A sleek black mouse with the horns of a goat and the cute little spade at the end of its tail pops out of the gate. It angrily squeaks at the two body monsters in the distance but thankfully seems to be ignoring the group.**
Holding back his laughter, Kage keeps distancing himself from all the creatures. Size was not a determination of power, Kaia is proof of that. He also made a mental note, get something ranged.
Laghairt saw the small demonic mouse and a smile came to his face. The sight of it was a relief after seeing the body monster up close. Suddenly a bison made of light appeared and Laghairt leaped onto its back as Gigan flew after Kage. The summoned creature and its rider charged in the opposite direction of the two monsters before turning around and rushing around the ship and then straight at the horrible creatures. Laghairt held the Lavaforge Pole forward like a lance as he and his mount came within range of hitting either of the monsters. A song emanated from the weapon and began to grow louder as golden flames started to billow out from it as well.

Darby followed everyone outside the wreckage, until he saw Lag summon a beast and ride off into the storm. Darby was slightly conflicted. On the one hand, Laghairt has been crazy ever since Darby met him, but that wasn't always a bad thing. On the other hand, Darby enjoyed living and didn't want to stop unnecessarily. With a sigh, Darby drew the Drakeling, split it in two, and tapped the tips of each sword to the toes of his boots, sticking them there. He then stuck his right and left knees to the respective swords so they wouldn't twist in unpredictable ways.
Darby cast Tip to form some climbing claws, and began scaling the outside of the ship as quickly as possible with his makeshift sticky boots.
Epic World! Because seriously! It's the awesome!

Olus grinned and summoned a body aspect and osmosed it. The beastly man began charging towards where the monster was, holding his maul in one hand. He wasn't going to let Lag have all the fun.
Kage on the other hand was completely willing t let them have all the fun as he began to investigate the area trying to find a path to the ship and see if it was sea worthy now that the storm had broken.
**Arl started climbing alongside Darby while Esyllt chased after Olus and Laghairt. Dr. Smalls runs around the other side of the ship (possibly with an invisible Tratorius, who knows).**
**The monsters start pulling back as Laghairt rounds the bend, prompting the little demon mousy to erupt with a sort of shadow lighting that flows into the ground, causing it to glow black. The chunk of ground beneath the mouse cracks and rises, the glow solidifying into a sharp covering of black metal that is then fired high above the ship - carrying the mouse with it.**
---
**Once Laghairt rounds the bend to discover several things. The first, would be that the ground beyond the ship looked like a icy marsh where several more ship lay almost completely submerged in deep arctic slurry.
The second would be that he had been mistaken about the body monsters - there was only one, a massive squid that relaxed about 160ft into the slurry. The body monsters were just its longest tentacles - there were eight shorter ones of a similarly grotesque nature danging out of the slurry near the the beast's core. The core itself consisted of bodies that had seemingly been melted far beyond the point where any individual part was recognizable, the only exception to this rule being a number of faces - perhaps a half dozen - that emerged from the melted core like jewels embedded into a wall. Every orifice of the empty-socketed faces glowed with a neon-blue light. There was one other object of interest embedded in the mass - a jewel-like bit of coral a little larger than an Atarin's face.
The third would be the pair of 12' golems of sandstone, marble, and clay standing separately upon two of the ships closest to the core of the monster - perhaps 20' away from it.
The fourth might have been the two lion-men climbing up the original shelter-ship, but Laghairt likely cared more about the fifth... the bear made out of seaweed, algae, and wet stones that erupted from the slurry to bite at the legs of the bull.**
**The bear goes flying back with a splash. It appears to have survived the blow, however.
The squid seems to start moving a monster-tentacle towards Laghairt before suddenly redirecting its attention to the black-steel-riding demon mouse soaring above the ship. The faces on the squid speak in unison at the sight, but only one voice is heard. A deep, thunderous voice, one that reverberates through the bones of all present in quiver-inducing glory.**
Squid - "Alright; I'll bite."
**Both tentacles move to close in on the mouse.**
**Dr. Smalls and Tratorious engage another seaweed bear on the opposite side of the ship.**
**Darby might catch a glimpse of one of the lion men scrambling to finish climbing to the top of the ship before he does.**
