[So. They are going to fight a monster underwater. Using boats, thankfully, but it was to avoid a beast that moves swiftly in the vast ocean. Taryon recalls bringing up the Kraken he fought back home, and how the party was close to dying multiple times thanks to poor planning. It's superstitious to believe that his mentioning it summoned the Shachimon, but boy does he regret dwelling on it.

This time, he'll do better. He's learned. Before they even head out into the water, he must be aware who is working where. A few are using the gem-like devices (he's confused at first and wonders if LILITH employs artificers because the "nanobots" are explained to him) and directly fighting in the water - Taryon doesn't have raw firepower, so he decides to remain on the boats as long as possible. Some people may need a boost to their speed or evasion, others will want to be more nimble if one boat gets destroyed.

That's a lot of coins to enchant before a fight. Taryon thinks he will get 10, at most. But 10 spells could mean 10 lives saved.

But it sucks when there's a lovely set of food and drink and he's stuck on the couch, one ankle resting on his knee, supporting the hand-etched metal coins that he's infusing magic into. It takes time, with two fingers pressed against the surface, to enchant it with a spell that's ready to be pulled out at a moment's notice.]

Can someone get me a plate? And maybe a bit of wine? I'm a bit busy. [A pause.] So, who's going into the water?

((ooc: Taryon can infuse small tokens with one-time use support magic that anyone can use. If your character would be interested, here is a list of what he offers)

[Fighting on a moving boat isn't easy, but it sure is less stressful for Taryon to run around with his sword in one hand, swinging at orcas while he has his shield activated. Really easy! And they have weapons!

It's still terrifying! Taryon stabs the smaller kaiju and slashes off bits of their fins with practices effort, but his face reveals someone who has yet to be calm in the heat of battle. A baby charges at him with his mouth open. Taryon screams. He holds out his ring shield just in time for the orca to bump into an invisible force and throw Taryon onto his back.

In the rare times the coast is clear, Taryon takes the helm. The concept of piloting is complicated, but when it comes to turning the yacht in a vague direction, he gets it. And there's a pod headed towards the civilian fishing boats. Obviously, he has to lure the monsters away.] Sorry! But I promise I'll send us back! [The boat hits a choppy wave and jumps a few feet in the air.] Just- shoot those things if you want to get back so fast!

[The fight has been underway for a significant chunk of time, and Taryon hasn't focused on the largest foe yet. It's time to change that. All he has on him is a basic melee weapon that doesn't even shoot electricity.

But this yacht is filled with weapons. Harpoons, he doesn't get. But guns? Those, he can do. He jumps onto the swivel gun seat and grabs onto the handles of the weapon with all the strength of a man who knows this is his lifeline. There's a massive shape in the churning water below, doing gods know what, but eventually, she has to breath. Taryon points the barrel of the gun at the spot closest to the surface of the water and follows it for a good few minutes.] She has to get out. Come on... [It's not going to be as effective if he shoots it underwater. The kaiju needs to breathe, and damage to the blowhole would force her to stay above water more often.

A black, shiny mound peeks over the waves. Taryon slams his fingers on the trigger, and a volley of bullets fire at the surrounding water, with most striking the sensitive skin opening up. The shape quivers, and there's a low roar coming underneath the boat.]
