Faust concentrates and calls forth a water spirit!

...or at least he tries to, but nothing happens. This summoning thing is harder than expected.

HE TRIES AGAIN, AND-

*poof*

There is now a waterfall waifu sitting on the car with you. Everyone else rolls their eyes at Faust's summoning preferences, before being promptly drenched in the torrential flood that has appeared inside the car.

Vargall thinks of the abuse his upholstery is suffering and nearly sheds a tear.



When the rain subsides, Allie tosses the moist, headless otter out the window, while the elf lady opens her door slightly to let the water drain out.




After making sure he's no longer underwater, Backsmasher pulls out his commlink again and directs Vargall to continue along the path. Well, you're wet, tired and uncomfortable, but at least it should be smooth sailing from here on ou-

IS THAT A PAIR OF OTTERS SITTING ON THE ROAD



MEANWHILE




Bright blocks the bear's first punch, but the second one connects! Thankfully, his ORKY ABS absorb the entirety of the impact, leaving him undamaged.

He then attempts to uppercut the bear's vulnerable chin, but the creature swats his punch away with its bear hands!


What will you do?

Bright punches the bear with all his might, but only manages to lose his balance as the hit is blocked! Stumbling, he manages to block the bear's counterstrike, then follows up with a left cross that bounces harmlessly off the creature's thick hide.

The bear swings wildly at Bright's direction, but the ork deftly swats its paw aside, retaliating with a powerful overhand strike that does... Absolutely no damage.


Still sitting at the motorcycle, Emi covers a yawn and looks at her wristwatch.


What will you do?

Bright slaps the bear with his shock glove, dealing 3S damage! The bear punches back, but Bright's armor is too tough!

Bright slaps the bear again for 3S damage, then yawns like only an ork can. The bear, mistaking this as a display of dominance, and considering the damage it has taken, makes a plaintive gesture and backs off.

You have defeated the bear, and it allows you to pass through its territory, while vowing to become stronger so it might one day best you. Emi applauds and smiles.


What will you do?

They never even saw it coming. Within a fraction of a second, Vargall's car was already at maximum speed, and the impact with the bumper instantly vaporizes the otters into their constituent otterlings. A spray of blood flies in your general direction, disgusting everyone except Allie, who just crosses her arms behind her head and enjoys the red shower.


You all hear a loud roar, and realize your victory was short-lived. The Otter Horde is upon you, streaming from between the trees like a huge brown furry flood. Hundreds, if not thousands of the vicious beasts are now running after you! An Otter Shaman stands on a nearby rocky outcropping, shaking its heavy staff and making gurgling sounds as it directs the swarm towards you.




MEANWHILE


Bright bows to the bear and leaves for his bike. Such a majestic creature!

As he begins to drive off, he notices Emi is now gripping him more tightly, pressing herself against his back.

"That was amazing, honey! You know I love it when you show how powerful and manly you are~ *purr*"

...did she just purr? Can non-felines even make that sound?



What will you do?
