Just to make sure, the ritual wont damage the Thunderfin, right?

i would still rather get the prize out of the frenzy before it really gets going though.
can Zia take control of the Thunderfin's lightning, once its outside of its body without a ritual?

As written, no it won't. The Thunderfin doesn't generate electricity, its scales just create a lot of static electricity which it can sort of harness. Taking control of existing electricity is going to require a bit of a ritual, because Zia's not really the best at non-ritual magic.

With a sigh of relief that borders on the obscene, you lean back in your chair, letting the charcoal stick in your fingers slip from your fingers and bounce once, twice, three times on your wooden desk before eventually coming to a stop. Your desk is a mess, parchment and lists strewn everywhere, muffin crumbs all over everything, dozens of books and charts left half open and in haphazard stacks around the corners of your writing space. Your lantern burns dim, guttering as its fuel begins to run out.

Piracy is just a business like any other.
 
[X] Wait and Burst: Let the Thunderfin and feeding frenzy savage each other while picking off other hunting packs, building up a lightning magic ritual to draw out the Thunderfin's charge far beyond its limits, finishing off the frenzy and exhausting the already tired and injured Thunderfin. Once it's weak enough, ram and bite it, binding it with ropes and subduing it before escaping the area.

Actually that makes it even better; because it means that once Zia yanks the charge out of its scales, it won't have that extra form of defense anymore. Which means that our other crew with their metal weapons can aid us without as much risk to themselves.

And the hunting packs can also damage it easier too. Don't forget, we need to get the thunderfin out from the middle of the frenzy with wait and watch/burst, not to mention it will happen after the crew ran out of ammunition, because the pack hunters need to be kept at bay from the Scar too.

Ramming still catches the target in the frenzy, but only at the edge of it, and the crew, Zia and Maureen throws in everything to clear a path out of the frenzy afterwards.
 
I was under the impression that we set up a hard fight for the Thunderfin to weaken it before we engage head on.

The charge is going to be used to kill a large number of said hunting packs to clear the way for the ship.

    [X] Ram Through: Before the Thunderfin can approach the feeding frenzy too closely, ram the beast and use the Scar's bite to grab it. Then, use every bit of ammunition left, along with Maureen and Zia, to carve a path through the feeding frenzy. Then, after the feeding frenzy is cleared, the crew holds it with ropes while the officers subdue it.
    [X] Wait and Watch: Wait and pick off more hunting packs as the Thunderfin approaches the feeding frenzy. Then, once the ammunition is used up, wait and protect the Scar as the Thunderfin gets weakened by the fighting in the feeding frenzy. Once it's weak enough, ram and bite it, binding it with ropes and subduing it before escaping the feeding frenzy.

The newest White Dwarf has some interesting info.

Ghur has groups of aquatic predatory fish-folk that menace the open seas. These fish folk include scaled mermaid squid-aelves that carve through ship hulls and watch sailors drown. Not out of hunger or anything, just pure sadism.

And none of these guys are idoneth either, so they don't have the litany of reasons why I can't use idoneth just yet! I'd call them destruction-aligned more than anything else, and more definitely fits as aligned with Zaithax, the homebrew godbeast Zia talked about in the third threadmark.

It's always nice when these sorts of coincidences occur. Ghur's a scary place but that's not just limited to the sea beasts and monsters driven by instinct. There's things in the depths of the oceans that know exactly what they're doing when they drag ships down into the abyss. Things that enjoy it.

I need to remember that more.

It's helps to note that these things might be the ancient enemy of the Deepkin, that was mentioned in their timeline, at least in the ghurish part of the realms seas anyway. I'm curious to see if this is some sort of prelude to them getting a battletome next year.
 
Sorry about the lack of an update yall. I'm plugging away at it, but some stuff has come up, most notably...

I've been given permission from the higher ups to tell people so, I'm sort of writing for Age of Sigmar now. To be more specific, I'm writing for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, the official ttrpg of Age of Sigmar. I've been brought on as a freelancer for one of Cubicle 7's books that they have in the works, and it's...

It's both exhilarating and absolutely terrifying.

I really don't want to mess this up, both because I'm an avid player/consumer of AoS and Soulbound and because it's a hell of a lot of pressure working on an actual thing that I'm getting paid for.

As is, I'm incredibly excited to work on this, and it's taking everything I have not to disregard everything else in my life including my actual college work to focus solely on my project. Take What You Can is in no way ending, it's not even really on hiatus, but this is going to take a bit of a backburner compared to my stuff for Soulbound.

I hope that yall stick by this quest even as it goes into a bit of an update lull, and I'll definitely be shilling some stuff here whenever the book I'm working on is released to the general public.
 
You got to work on Soulbond!! You clearly had God roll a nat 100 on your Job opportunities.
