Everyone moves back a bit as there is pounding on the door. You’ve but a moment before the Pirates might be able to break through. Aveli looks to you and asks, “T, what’s the plan? We let ‘em in and start wailing away on those punks, of do you have a trap you wanna set for them?”

“No time for anything complicated.” Sheik warns. “Whatever plan you have, you need to enact it quickly.” Samiel nods, hand moving to his blade.

All right Zelda, no idea how many of them are on the other side, but from the sound of things it definitely isn’t a small amount. What to do…?

“Spread out! Ranged weapons on that door and bombs at the ready!” you call to your allies. They take their positions, the pirates about to get through the door. You and Samiel get your bombs out, Horon keeping closer to the walls as Sheik stands beside the two of you, Lynna with her Gale Boomerang out. Aveli keeps back, ready to defend you. Here it goes…

The barrier around the door dissipates and in charges several pirates, two at a time at first. Horon attempts to fling fireballs towards them, but quickly they leap out of the way and slash back at him with Sword Beams. He takes a hit and has to back away. You and Samiel quickly fling bombs forward them, where the monsters jumped to, damaging them, with you quickly bringing your crossbow out and launching a couple volleys at them. Lynna’s Gale Boomerang then comes in and knocks the pair back into another two that attempt to enter through the doorway. Sheik adds to this by tossing several needles at them, keeping the pirates back.

[Bombs: 7/10]

[Bolts: 80/90]

And yet… even with all this, they don’t go down all that easily. The pair that were forced back get right back on their feet, and seem to laugh to themselves when they see Samiel. They try to move in again, and behind them you can see four more, a total of six of these monsters. The two trying to make it through bring their arms up defensively, as if they’d be able to shield themselves with them, as the pair behind them… start to cast Magic! Oh no! Samiel looks like he’s about to charge at them all directly.

Horon tries to get back up, but one of the monsters sees his prone state and launches the Magic they were casting. Thinking quick, Samiel uses his Hookshot to grab and pull the boy out of danger, then gets ready to charge forward. You look to the Knight and comment, “Allow me to help.” You enchant some bombs with Ice Magic and fling them forward, freezing the monsters in place temporarily. Samiel charges and tackles through them, Aveli actually running behind him and wildly swinging her sword at the monsters.

Lynna heads over to Horon to check his wounds as you next cast Din’s Fire and detonate it in the middle of the monsters, catching them all with the blaze of fire. And to top it off, you use Farore’s Wind to move behind all the pirates and use your Hookshot to target and pull back one of the ones in the front as it tries to stand, then drawing your swords to slash at the pair immediately in front of you. Sheik heads in for a pincer attack, with all of you cornering the pirates in the doorway.

[Bombs: 5/10]
[Magic: 0/5]

And… yet they still seem mostly nonplussed by all that’s going on. They still keep their focus on Samiel, laughing to themselves as they brandish their blades, ready to fight still. Aveli, standing beside Sheik, comments, “You punks just don’t know when to give up, do you?!”

The pirates laugh at the comment. Even Samiel finds this a little odd given his body language.

Right as one lifts his blade, you take aim with your Hookshot and fire it at his sword hand, managing to yank it hard back just right so that the blade smacks into the face of one of his allies. And in doing so, the second one falls, with the first one losing his sword! …And the blade caught by the Hookshot, is pulled back to you, smacking you in the forehead with the pommel. Ow.

The pirates laugh at you, but quickly move back to combat stances, quickly trying to fan out and attack back. The one missing the sword starts to cast Magic, but Horon bolts and leaps at him, jumping into the air and stabbing down into his head, finally bringing the monster down. Samiel works with you as the two of you slash and parry the monsters’ blades, and though one of them manages to hit Samiel’s free hand, he quickly runs his blade through it, and actually fires a Sword Beam right through the monster into another. You work in tandem with him and bring both your blades down on the pirate, stabbing through the gaps in his armor and finally felling it.

Sheik, Aveli, and Horon all try to bring the final monster down with you and Samiel, the lot of you putting a good deal of effort into it, and the pirate still holding his own, even getting a slash in on your arm. But that provides the chance needed for you and Samiel to finally bring it down, your two blades slashing into the monster’s legs as Samiel manages to stab it through the chest. Finally, it’s over.

[Hearts: 9/11]

You take a knee and pant, planting one of your swords into the ground as you take a moment to catch your breath. Horon and Aveli both sit down, Sheik rushing to your side as Lynna starts checking over everyone. “That… was a pain in the ass…” the Gerudo girl exclaims. “Y-you okay, T?”

“I have been through worse… Horon?” you ask the boy.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m good.” he comments. “Samiel, be honest, are these typical of what those monsters are capable of?”

All of you look to the knight. He nods. Horon lets out a pained groan. Lynna reaches you. “Do you need any healing, Termina?”

“We should all recover while we still can.” you tell her with a nod. “But also, search through the remnants, there may be something useful leftover from the monsters.” you add, first letting Lynna heal you then going over the spoils. A decent number of Rupees, some more of the small bombs you’ve seen before, and luckily, plenty of materials to restore your own Magic.

[Rupees: 171]
[Hearts: 11/11]
[Bombs: 7/10]
[Magic: 5/5]

And your allies thankfully manage to restock a bit too. Horon makes note, though, “These things were way tougher than they look. They just wouldn’t go down.”

“They kept laughing at Samiel.” Aveli comments. “There a reason for that, buddy?”

Samiel crosses his arms and seems to look down at her disapprovingly. Sheik motions to her hand, seeming to ask if he would like her to relay anything he has to say. Samiel considers it, but shakes his head. Sheik instead looks to you, “There still may be more headed this way, though we should have enough time to complete the other puzzles in this place. Still, shall we continue on, Termina, or finish up here?”

“If you can take point, we may be able to finish up here with our minds at ease.” you tell her. “You have an advantage over the rest of us, not being easily caught by them.

“Very well.” Sheik gives you a nod. To your surprise, Samiel signals he’ll stay watch with her.

“All right, thank you, Sir Knight. Oh, before we head on, would you like your sword enchanted with Ice Magic, like my bombs were?” you question.

Even with his face hidden behind the mask, you can tell he is giving you a less than amused look. You’re about to return the favor when he draws his blade and points it out towards the open clouds. He flicks his wrist with the blade out, a chilly air and soft glow emanating from it. For good measure, he fires off a Sword Beam that chills the air as it fires, even leaving a little trail of snowflakes behind it.

“Oh yeah right.” Horon adds. “You can do that on your own.”

The Knight pokes you on the forehead and then motions for you to continue on. You blush just a little, but continue onward without further comment. “Let us go through the final room, that has not been explored yet.”

Aveli and Horon nod, Lynna using the Gale Boomerang once more to shift the symbol on the floor until it reaches the final room. As you all enter the chamber, you see a set of small circular platforms that… don’t seem to quite have a pattern to them up above. The room is circular, and at the top there is a little bit of light peaking through. Actual light, not artificial. You see tracks on the walls where the platforms are, save for one at the very top. And lastly, there’s the cart in the center of it with the bomb slot. There is one close enough to the ground that you can reach it without Hookshot, at the very least.

“Want me to light it up, Pr- ah, T?” Horon asks, then adds, “It’s okay to call you that, yeah? While we’re still with Sir Samiel.”

“I been callin’ her that for a while now, haven’t heard much complaining.” Aveli notes.

>A. For now, though we will let our Knightly friend know once this is over
>B. Better we start coming clean soon, after we find what’s up there at least
>C. Yes, light it up, Horon!

“For now. Once this is all over though, we should make sure our Knightly friend knows the truth.” you reply to him, then give a grin. “Now, light it up, Horon!”

“Lightin’ it up!” he yells out, tossing a fireball at the bomb slot. The platforms around the chamber begin to move, some quicker than the others, and they seem to form a kind of pattern in how they move, some overlapping for a few moments. The one closest to the ground approaches.

“Last one up top is a rotten egg!~” Aveli yells out excitedly, leaping onto the first platform. You get on it next, followed by Lynna. The Gerudo girl turns and smirks. “Well Lynna, looks like you might wanna pick up the pa-”

“Games later, when we’re not under threat from the pirate monsters.” she tells the younger girl.

“Let’s keep going, next one is- yikes!” You just barely manage to leap up to the next one, Aveli and Lynna doing the same. You take a moment to regain your composure, the next one coming your way. “So, they alternate direction between levels when someone gets on top of one. Something we should have picked up on sooner.”

“Lesson learned at least.” Lynna helps you up. “Next one’s coming!” she shouts out, heading up first, Aveli following. You try to leap to the next one, but misjudge a bit and only end up barely grabbing on to the side of it, your legs kicking underneath as you pull yourself up. Crap. And… next one already? Oh come on! Up, Zelda, up! You just barely get up before it starts to move past. You leap up… and miss. No no no gah!

“Gotcha!” Lynna catches your arm, Aveli grabbing on to her and the two of them pulling you back up. “Whew, close one.”

You sigh and nod. “Indeed. That could have been a nasty fall.”

“Almost there, come on!” Lynna tells you cheerfully, the three of you heading up one more level… and finally reaching the very top of the chamber. With the final platform, and a chest right in the center of it, Lynna reaching the chest first. And so, she opens it… “Whaaa…?”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VRr9NG7RE0

The young woman pulls out… a curious pair of long boots, with wings on the edges of them, a symbol of Lightning on the sides. There’s a note in the chest beneath them, reading, in clear Hylian: “Congrats on making it all the way up here, Hero of this time! Hope these [Pegasus Boots] serve you as well as they did me!”

Lynna looks over the Pegasus Boots as you look over the note that was in the chest. You… recognize it, a bit. The handwriting is familiar. On the back there are some instructions on how to use them. You read aloud, “These boots are blessed with the power of the Goddesses, enchanted to run and leap like Lightning! You’ll even be able to take a few steps across the clouds! Give ‘em a try and kick some butt, Hero!”

“Well. Certainly an encouraging little letter left behind.” Aveli comments. “Lynna, you gonna take ‘em?”

“Not exactly sure running and jumping is my thing.” she replies, looking to you. “What do you think, Princess?”

>A. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to keep them

I'll say again, any romance will have to be more of a slow-burn thing and will depend on player choice. So far, players haven't decided to pursue anyone. It's entirely possible this will continue and Zelda will not be romantically involved with anyone. I promise I'm not going to push for any kind of pairing with Zelda.

Also has 4chan been acting up for anyone else? Been getting connection errors when I try to post, almost at random.

“We should check back with Samiel, he would know what to do with them.” you tell your allies.

“That’s fair.” Aveli responds, stretching her arms a little. “This is kinda his home turf.”

“Then I’ll hold on to them until we meet back with him.” Lynna remarks.

“Heading down?” Horon shouts up at all of you.

“Yeah, light it up, Horon!” Aveli shouts back, and the lot of you head back down, finding it easier to get down than it was to get up. Once you’ve all regrouped, Horon expresses curiosity over the boots, and especially the note that was with them.

“So they belonged to a previous Hero?” the boy questions.

“That does seem to be the implication of it.” you reply. “Though I am not sure if it was ours…”

“Think it was Linkle’s?” the Gerudo girl speculates. “I think she did mention something about a pair of boots... oh, yeah, we gonna head to Sheik and Samiel first? Or the other room?”

She brings out the Gale Boomerang and spins the symbol on the floor once more, and finally you reach the last room. This one seems to be more of a corkscrew, with a path spiraling up from the center. But as you all enter, you see sections of the floor that seem to spark with electricity, with jolts even traveling between them, the sections marked by metal gratings of a kind. Moving a bit closer, you see joints on the gratings, seems they can move.

“Huh, no wonder Sammy had such a tough time with this one. One wrong step, it’ll conduct with that armor.” Aveli makes note. “…Speaking of, seems like I’d better sit this one out.” she remarks as she looks over her own armor.

“Is that how it works?” Lynna asks her, genuinely unsure. “Was under the assumption it’d go through without causing much harm…”

“If you’re moving around it a lot, your body’s going to be pressing against the metal.” she responds. “Even a little bit of it, you’ll get zapped, and that’s not going to be fun.”

Horon cracks his knuckles. “I should be able to handle this then. Pattern seems pretty predictable. Want me to see what’s up top?”

>A. See what the bomb slot does in this room first
>B. Better that I try to make it to the top, just to be on the safe side
>C. Why not race to it, Horon?

“See what the bomb slot in the middle of the room there does first.” you recommend. Horon tosses a fireball at it, and you see that the grates that the electricity sparks between begin to move, shifting upward along the sides of the path, forming gaps between them. Meanwhile, a strong bolt of electricity jolts up from the cart, flowing continuously, letting out jolts that hit the grates, but seem blocked by them. Aha! You place your hands on your hips and turn to the boy, “Why not race up there? See which of us can reach it first.”

“Well, if you’re sure, Pr- er, Termina.” Horon replies. “Buuuut I’ll probably win it.” he adds with confidence.

“We’ll see about that.” you tell him with a confident smirk yourself, and the two of you head off, running up the winding path. The gaps are noticeable and a little tough to get through, but a good leap is enough to cross each one. Worringly the electricity sparking from the central bolt does seem to crash against the grates, but you and Horon both manage to avoid any stray sparks from the electricity crashing against the grates. As the two of you travel up, with Horon actually keeping pace with you fairly well, you see a bit of a pattern from the lifted grates. They line up in… that same Lightning Bolt pattern from before, making two of them that alternate direction. The pair of you just barely manage to reach the top, and in an attempt to get ahead of him you push your hand on the final grate as you reach the other side. It does give you quite a jolt but you manage to win!

...Ow that didn’t feel good. Hand’s kinda numb. “Aww…” Horon mumbles as he reaches the top after you. And just in time too, as the grates fall back into place. Up top, there’s another bomb slot… and yet one more Kinstone! Looks like it’s the other half to the one you got before! You take it and put the pieces together, the two Kinstones fitting perfectly… making a spiraling, tornado-like pattern. Curious. Horon looks over the bomb slot, then asks, “Well, ready to head back down?”

“Horon, recall the room adjacent to this one and the pair of bomb slots used there. We should time the bombs so they hit together.” you tell him.

“Oh yeah! Good thinking!” He adjusts his gloves, readying himself. “On three?”

“Aveli, Lynna, move back a bit!” you warn, then bring out a bomb. “One!”

“Two!”

“Three!” you let the bomb down, Horon tossing the fireball. And as his hits, you tense up. Please work, please work… yes! The explosion manages to trigger the bomb slot, and immediately the electricity stops. The grates return to their normal position, but without the sparks of energy traveling between them.

“Nice work!” Horon raises his hand for a high-five.

“Nice work indeed!” you high-five him, the pair of you heading back down. Okay, Kinstone complete, Pegasus Boots acquired, you’re set to continue on! Time to meet back up with Samiel and Sheik and get through the rest of the Great Sky Temple!

>>4139445
You regroup with Samiel, who’d been waiting right outside the door, Sheik dropping down as you all exit, catching everyone up on what you’ve learned. Samiel… very briefly glances away and huffs when you and Horon go over how easy the last room was for the two of you, but quickly regains his composure. Finally, you bring up the Pegasus Boots, and ask Samiel for advice on who best would be served by them.

The Knight takes a moment to look over the boots. “I mean you seem to have something yourself, but if you wanna take ‘em-” Horon starts, but is shushed by a raise of Samiel’s hand. He glances at you, then at Sheik, then back at the boots. Finally, the Knight motions for Sheik to come closer, and writes on her hand once more.

“Samiel says… that they would go best with either you, Termina, or… myself.” Sheik speaks for the Knight. “I… leave it to you to make that decision.” the Sheikah girl says, bowing her head humbly.

“Sheik, you would be able to use it best.” you tell her with a friendly smile. “Samiel, thank you for that. Shall we continue?”

He nods, and leads the way. You cross through the flame trap, finding the jets damaged beyond repair, impact marks on them like the one the Chuchus apparently arrived on. That is… not comforting. Samiel notices it too, motioning everyone to hurry. Arriving back up top, you see two levels to the area, connected but splitting in the directions they head. One goes further to the… well, if the position of the sun in the sky is any indication, west. The other heads up north, and further up the temple grounds, higher into the air.

There are several Chuchus that you see moving around in the distance, Beamos firing at them and trying to get rid of them. In addition, out of the corner of your eye you see a flash of thunder and soon hear the crack of thunder, several Aeralfos falling out of the sky in the distance.

“We should avoid the monsters for now, but head west. Come on!” you declare, running forward, getting your shield out, and very briefly sticking your tongue at the monsters that fall, trying not to make it too obvious to your allies (keyword being “trying”). Samiel keeps pace with you, slashing away as some of the Chuchus attempt to corner you, with you managing to bounce one off a couple when they leap at you. You’re about to reach a winding path away from the central area, one of the Beamos that were attacking the Chuchus targets you, beam just narrowly missing your body but almost catching your leg.

To your surprise, Samiel prevents you from being damaged by… rather roughly grabbing you by waist and shoulder and… sort of flinging you forward onto the path. You faceplant in the dirt near the stone path, but at least you avoid damage. Samiel himself ends up awkwardly stumbling out of the way as well, just barely avoiding the Beamos that tried to hit you.

Sheik and Aveli arrive shortly after, carrying Lynna and Horon respectively through the mass of enemies in conflict. Samiel dusts himself off, then checks up on you, Aveli trying not to giggle as you bring your face up out of the dirt. “Well, no injuries? We all good?” she asks.

“Your method of helping people is not the most gentle, Samiel.” you remark, getting the dirt out of your face and frowning at him. “The assist was appreciated, but the method could use… work.” He pats you on the head and moves forward. “So does that mean you understand, and will work to be a bit less rough in the future, of you understand that, but don’t care?”

Samiel chuckles teasingly. As you get to the end of the path, you see a stadium of some sort below it, with two tiers of it, a smaller set connected to a larger one, a spiraling staircase leading from the top level down to the bottom. And you… hear some ominous voices in the distance. Samiel’s fists clench tight. Aveli lets out a groan. “MORE of those pirate guys?”

You motion for everyone to lay low, slowly approaching the group of monsters. You take a peek and find them with some other creatures, with limbs coated in electricity, in addition to a few that have more crustacean-like forms, with large pincer arms. A total of seven, two you’ve seen before, three of the crustacean ones, and two of the electric ones. They’re moving something very large, some kind of cylinder with unusually carved patterns on it, even rings of some form of metallic surface around the edges. And… there seems to be some form of magic being built up around it.

“Definitely not good.” Horon comments. “What’s the plan, T?”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9MMV0tGydo

“I will call out Zas to divert their attention.” You move back and stand, calling forth the Phantom Knight, then sending him forward. “Samiel, I need you to-” But before you can ask him anything, the Knight has already jumped down with Zas. “H-hey!” You quickly run to the edge, seeing the monsters back away from him as he fires a Sword Beam, the monsters surprised by his appearance… and in a haunting, gargling tone of speaking, one yells out the word “HUNTER!” in what sounds close enough to Hylian for you to understand it. Roars and near-demonic speech echo through the area, allowing Zas to get the drop on them and cleave the arm off one of the crustacean-like monsters. Even in spite of that, though, they focus on Samiel, with the crustacean monsters letting out volleys of energy from their claws, as the pirates wielding blades try to close in.

Zas still fights with one, forcing its attention on him, and even managing to bring it down, though not before getting cornered and hit by the pair of electrically coated monsters. He’s damaged and forced back. Sheik, using the new Pegasus Boots on her, dashes off the ledge and even manages a few steps in midair, her feet coated with sparks that form small thunderclouds beneath them, finally leaping up and then kicking down at one of the pirates that tries to attack Samiel like a bolt of lightning herself! While the kick to the pirate’s head connects, knocking him down, the other monsters don’t let up, one even managing to jump and kick Sheik in the arm, the Sheikah girl moving back to Samiel.

Aveli and Horon finally join in, the pair of them coming up with an idea. With the boy sitting on her shoulders, the little Iron Knuckle heads down as well and uses the Belt of Wind to rush around the foes, Horon blasting away with fireballs at the monsters, the pair’s combo working exceptionally well as they disorient their foes.

Meanwhile, Lynna kneels by you, eyes fixed on the strange cylinder. “I… have a very, very bad feeling about that…”

“What do you propose, Lynna? Do you think it is some sort of weapon?” you ask.

She shakes her head, to your surprise. “Not exactly a weapon. But… there’s something that feels off about it, and yet familiar. I don’t like it.”

You take a look at it once more. Magical energy builds up around it. You do notice something a little unusual, the two ends of the cylinder have a very slight gap between the metal bits. Hrmn. Should you have Zas go after it, or attack it yourself while he’s keeping the monsters busy with everyone? Or leave it be and just focus on the Pirates?

Samiel makes another slash at the monsters gathering around him, though the pirates are quick enough to avoid damage from the knight’s blade. Sheik however is able to move in and get a nasty gash in one of the monsters with her sword, adding to it with a kick from the Pegasus Boots into its leg. Zas meanwhile ends up cornered and, even with Aveli and Horon trying to keep up their attacks, is overwhelmed by the monsters. His ghostly presence fades… but you’ve got an opening.

With most of the monsters away from the cylinder, you quickly bring out a pair of bombs and fling them right at it, the bombs connecting and letting out thunderous booms! The cylinder sparks and shakes. One more should do it! The pirates turn their attention to you, the crab-like ones blasting magical energies from up at you. You return fire as you dodge their attacks, volleys of crossbow bolts pelting them.

Even if it isn’t a weapon, it’s doing SOMETHING… and you’ve got an idea! “Lynna, cover me while I head down!” you ask, getting your hookshot out. She readies her Gale Boomerang and flings it out, with it managing to push back some of the monsters towards the back, though not before they launch out some more volleys at your allies, Sheik actually getting Samiel out of the way of harm as one nearly hits the Knight. You manage to latch on to the cylinder and head down, avoiding their shots, though as the Gale Boomerang travels back to Lynna, one of them manages to shoot at it, keeping it from returning to her hand. But you’ve managed to get down, and the force of you impacting against the cylinder pushes it towards the gathered pirates. And…

KA-KOOM!

One of the bolts of lightning that aimed at the Aeralfos previously ends up striking the cylinder, and thanks to the damage you did to it, the electricity isn’t harmlessly absorbed into it, as was probably the intention, but chains into the monsters! With them stunned, you roll forward and drop a bomb on the pillar, with that doing the trick and it cracking and splintering into pieces!

With one of them still stunned, you draw your swords and slash at the pirate! …Only for the monster to not be quite as stunned as he appeared, managing to block your blades and push you back, growling at you. He takes a step back and then lunges, attempting to skewer you with the large sword! But, you recall the training you had with Linkle, and in a flash you’ve deflected his sword with your Royal Sword and stab into his chest with the Sword of Nayru. The pirate stutters, looking down at you, letting out a low growl as he’s finally felled… though also giving Samiel a barking laugh as he falls.

Who, by the way, ends up right beside you as one more of the monsters tries to attack you, slashing through its torso, the monster falling. Sheik likewise works with Horon and Aveli to mop up the remaining monsters, all of them finally slain. You find yourself falling back, sitting down and sighing out loudly. “That was a close one.”

“So what in the world was THAT?!” Horon exclaims, getting off Aveli’s shoulders and looking over the remains of the cylinder.

“Some kind of lightning rod.” Lynna calls out. “Using some sort of magic to draw the lightning bolts to it. Good thing you were able to destroy it, Termina.”

Sheik lets out a soft gasp. “That’s their plan. They want to invade en mass by preventing the lightning from striking them all down.”

After taking a moment to catch your breath, you stand once more. “Then we will stop them. Right, Samiel?”

The Knight gives an approving nod, and a thumb’s up. Good enough for you!

All right folks, that’s all for tonight. We’ll continue tomorrow starting usual time of ~5:30 pm PST. I’ll be around for a bit for questions and such. Did y’all have fun?

>>4142515
Magic lightning rods, that's interesting. Had fun Kato, thanks for running!

>>4142515
Can we study the lightning rod's magic?

Maybe forge it on a crown for agility training and unlock a person's speed potential.

I know it sounds silly but I think it has potential.

That is not how it works. Though you may be able to check up on it again in more detail later.

Also a bit of an update IRL. I'm still working, but things may change in the next few days. Lot of places are starting to close up, and wife's on leave until the end of the month. Had to talk with employees earlier about this too, so my apologies for being a bit over an hour late home. It shouldn't have too much impact on the Quests, but I just want you all to be aware that there is a chance it might. Hope y'all are staying safe too.

Anyway, rambling over, we are back!

>>4142515
Before you head forward, you take a moment to look over the remains of the broken lightning rod. There are actually a number of layers to it, the curved patterns still unusual to your eyes, but more importantly there seems to be a central, metallic structure that snapped from the repeated bombing, similar in the rings around the edges. Lynna observes it too, tapping her chin. “It’s like some over in town. They keep keep the buildings safe when storms roll in. But… those are usually very tall, taller than the buildings that surround them.”

“I’d suspect that the magic has something to do with it.” Sheik speculates. “Magic lightning, magic lightning rod to attract it.”

Ahead there is another barrier-covered door, though there is a rocky path to the east, and another to the south that seems connected to another floating island via a bridge of clouds. Where to go first?

>A. Head through the door, should check that over first
>B. The path south, see what is on the other floating island
>C. The eastern path, check on where that goes
>D. Something else?

>>4143649

Check pirates' remains before leaving.

And thanks for that Kato, hope things are working out for you too.

You check over the remains of the monsters, managing to just barely restock on Bombs completely, while also getting a few of your spent bolts back. And to top it all off, a few Rupees.

[Bombs: 10/10]
[Bolts: 80/90]
[Rupees: 190]

Samiel manages to find some stuff to recover his strength, as Aveli picks up some Rupees herself, Lynna retrieving the Gale Boomerang, whispering a polite apology to it. With everyone set, you continue on to the door with the barrier around it, Samiel firing a sword beam at it to open it. You head in and see a much more narrow room, almost a hallway, though with sections of it leading into small alcoves where natural light peaks through. As you start to move through the area… you hear something in one of the alcoves. Samiel recognizes the sound, and you think you’ve heard before.

The Knight places his hand back as he steps in front of you all, flicking his wrist with his sword drawn, frigid air flowing around his sword as it glows softly.

>A. Stay back, let him handle this
>B. Enchant a bomb with Ice Magic
>C. Crossbow, with Ice!
>D. Deku Nut! Try to blind the foe for Samiel

Samiel knows how to handle these things, so best not to get too involved, but… you have an idea! “Lynna, get the Gale Boomerang out.” you tell her. As Samiel moves forward, successfully stabbing into one of the jellyfish-like monsters you’ve seen previously as it tries to lunge at him. Without a moment to lose, you enchant Lynna’s Gale Boomerang with Ice Magic, then have her fling it forward!

And not a moment too soon, as several more start to float out from the alcoves, trying to surround Samiel. The frigid air around the boomerang hits like a snowy flurry, striking five of the six that appear before returning to Lynna’s hand. Samiel wastes no time, using a Spin Attack to fell the group of them. But, one final monster takes notice of you all, and comes flying at your group, shrieking and leaping at your allies. You’re able to bring up your shield in time to defend yourself, but the force of the monster’s tackle knocks you back, Sheik likewise managing to avoid the monster’s maw but knocked down by it as it bounces off your shield. Horon and Aveli both back up, the boy readying his gloves as the Gerudo girl holds her sword defensively. Lynna though is able to quickly thwack it with her boomerang, stopping it in midair.

Samiel brings an end to it with a Sword Beam, moving to help Sheik up first, then you. Somehow… you don’t think that’s the last you’ll see of them in this area.

>A. Samiel, can you tell us more about those monsters? What would have happened if it successfully hit myself or Sheik?

Regaining your composure, you ask, “Samiel, can you tell us more about these monsters? What would have happened if they managed to successfully attack Sheik or myself? …Would it be possible to get them to attack the pirates?”

Samiel signals for Sheik to so he can respond, and starts writing… quite a bit. Sheik shivers a slight bit from how rapidly Samiel seems to be writing. Once done, Sheik speaks for the Knight. “They attack by latching on and draining victims, and can attack nearly everything they come across save each other. Even the pirates would fall to them, but they’d know well enough to stay out of these creatures’ way. Lastly…” Sheik looks to Samiel again. The Knight nods. “They are called ‘Komaytos.’”

“Komaytos, huh?” Lynna repeats. “Looks like that bit of teamwork there was a real life-saver, then.”

You laugh softly in a near hum-like tone. “Indeed. Speaking of, Lynna, you handled yourself very well there. You managed to hit all five of those monsters with a single throw, and had no hesitation in trying to stop that monster that tried to attack us.”

She smiles sweetly. “The boomerang’s fairy should get some credit for that, but… thank you. Still not really used to all this, but, I want to help however I can.”

“Hey, you ARE doing really well. Don’t sell yourself short.” Aveli tells her.

As you all move forward, you check over the little alcoves the monsters were residing in. Inside… you see some rather gruesome sights. A couple small animals that look like they were mummified, one seeming almost cat-like, another a small bird. But as you approach the door at the end of the hallway, you see there’s more light leaking out of it from the adjacent alcove. As you look in, you see that part of it is… caved in. You motion for Samiel to look, and as he does you walk in with him. Within part of the caved in section, you see something that looks like the… husk of one of these Komayto monsters.

“I thought you said they don’t attack one another?” you question the Knight.

Without even looking away, he pulls Sheik over and writes on her hand. The Sheikah girl looks to you. “He says they don’t. This is… different.”

Whatever is going on with those monsters, you’ll have to be extra prepared for them. You Give Samiel a nod and continue on to the next room. It’s a much wider, broad yet Y-shaped one, with a staircase leading down a bit into it. Around the room there are a set of pillars that are a little distant from one another, but lead up a ways to a broader, main pillar.

Beamos dot the areas above the pillars, while odd machines like the mix between Keese and beetles float between them, large pincers in front of their faces. The machines seem to be of a similar structure to the Beamos, at the very least. Worryingly though, you see one of the Beamos damaged, and below it on the floor, a few of the flying machines, broken and… looking almost drained, somehow. The split, Y-shaped path lead to two sealed doors, though above one you can see what looks like a tunnel bored through the ceiling, leaving a pillar of light shining through it.

“That’s not encouraging.” Aveli remarks.

“Nnnnnope.” Horon affirms. “Well. Where to next?”

>A. Let’s check out what’s at the top of that pillar
>B. Try the door below the hole in the ceiling

“Wherever that thing has gone, we should make an attempt to follow.” you respond to the two of them. “Samiel?”

The Knight leads you forward, opening up the door to the next room. You find it in tatters, what were once pillars and statues, toppled. Even a bird statue like you’d seen before fallen over… with another pillar of light above it. Moving in closer, you see something moving in the rubble.

Samiel has his blade ready, all of you behind him as he slowly moves forward. The thing in the rubble starts to come into view. It’s… an orb-like monster with large lips, sharp teeth, and some tentacles waving around the back. You see it chewing on something, what looks like another husk of something the Komaytos have drained. It… then laughs at Samiel haughtily, several more peeking out from the surrounding rubble, a total of eight.

Another voice laughs from above, a pirate. Near the top of one broken pillar, one looks over the monsters ominously… and in its free hand, you see a mask.

>B. Bombs away! Keep the other monsters at bay!
