I need to stop underestimating Horatlok. Is what you are thinking currently.
"HRAAAAAUUUU!!"
Because clearly, you haven't doing it enough.
Fast. That is what Horatlok seemingly is right now, according to your sight. Very fast. You continued to thought quickly.
To think, you had been so eager, you are about to charge in directly towards your fellow God recklessly with your sharks and newly created construct right beside you. Ready to give your opponent a beating of his life time.
But Horatlok just moved like a blur. For a moment he was still there, crouching menacingly on top of his rock. Staring hard at you with a ready posture implying an incoming pounce.
Only for in the next, he was already right before you. Claws and fangs opening widely to rip and tear upon your very existence. Excitement clear within his slit pair of eyes.
Thankfully, Horatlok had misjudged the aim of his lunge. For instead of jumping upon your head like what you think he is intending to do, the God of Excitement instead went flying past to the left of your shoulder. His body cutting cleanly through the air beside you with a speed you couldn't even began capturing for the moment.
You don't really have much time think, however, because Horatlok had actually managed to snag his claws deeply inside that very shoulder he had flown past before he was able to take a dip back into your Sea. Using it as an impromptu handhold, the mammalian looking God then dexterously swung his body around to land himself again on top of your back. Where he wastes no time to began clawing violently on your being.
"GYAH!" You let out a snarl. Not liking the return to form you are having with Horatlok.
This time, however, you weren't exactly fighting all alone just by yourself. "ATTACK!"
"ROOOAAR!!"
Your shark construct obeyed you gladly. With it's lower body turning into a powerful twister made out of water, it rose up high into the air before making a quick turn straight towards Horatlok. Wanting to give the annoying pest hanging on top of you a bite with it's deadly spiralling sets of teeth.
But Horatlok had gotten wise. Because instead of staying in one place trying to inflict a single large injury upon you, the God of Excitement instead keeps on moving himself around. Constantly crawling and sliding his much smaller form around your big surging body while tearing apart pieces of your surface whenever he went past them. Additionally also dodging the ripping bites your shark construct is trying to make.
Just when the injuries you are taking are starting to accumulate on your being, however, Horatlok finally Finally had made a mistake.
Your fellow God had stayed in one place for far too long, and it allows you to quickly reach your hand toward him. And after swiftly closing in your palm around the entirety of his torso, you throw Horatlok away from you as fast as you possibly could. Sending him a short distance away with a skip or two againts the rumbling surface of your Sea.
Not wanting to give Horatlok any more time to recover even more of his bearing, you began to rush towards him. Reaching his still sinking form within moments by blasting through the waves, and once you arrived, you brought your fist up high into the air before immediately bringing it down low at him with a single mighty punch.
You missed, you saw. For apparantly, Horatlok was indeed a part of your Sea In some ways. Despite of his appearance saying otherwise.
It seems like the fur covered God you are currently trying to crush was able to propel himself quickly through water. By making rapid twisting movements underneath the waves in a way that wasn't too dissimilar to that of a fish, Horatlok was able to give you a slip in spite of your decisive action. Fastly gaining distance away from you.
You still tried to hit him regardless. Following the tail end of his path, you swung your fists down at Horatlok each time you managed to get close. Always missing your blows each and every single time you reached him.
Just when you are about to try something else, however, you sensed it.
Something is coming. You thought, stopping your chase for a brief moment, and not wanting to be caught offguard, you turn yourself in the direction where the presence is approaching. Not knowing whether it is friend or foe, you decided to wait for it to make it's appearance. Prepared for either.
To the side, you also took notice of how Horatlok had also seemed to sense what you are sensing, and had even situated himself to make you be located exactly between him and the new arrival.
Soon enough, however, it comed.
Bursting out from underneath the dark silent depths of your Sea, a single gnarled arm rises up above the surface of your domain. Thin and pale, it immediately comes crashing down onto the shallow's edges where you and Horatlok is on currently. And that is when another similar hand in the likeness to it soon also joins up with it, and together, they take a solid grip onto the reefs they are holding in order to bring the rest of their body up for you to see clearly.
"Another God?" You muttered lowly. Feeling a little bit annoyed after immediately realizing what the new arrival is apparantly.
Just like you and Horatlok, the new Deity also seems to have a vaguely humanoid body in which he is using to slowly walk himself closer towards the both of you. And unlike what you had ever seen before, however, his was seemingly made out of sickly looking roots of a plant you didn't exactly recognize at first glance. With it's face somewhat reminding you of a creature which you think might be living in some parts of your Sea.
Above all else, however, the new God looks Mad. Really mad. Mad beyond belief. "You'll pay." You barely heard him say. Though you won't need to ponder about it for too long because he soon began to repeats himself. "ALL OF YOU SHALL PAY!!"
Loudly.
Blasting into motion, the pale looking God then began to heavily stomp his way into making a seemingly obvious attack. Growing larger and larger to shove away the massive amount of water that is impending him much more easily.
The new Deity had even grew many smaller and also sharp pointed roots out of his hand, transforming his limb into a dangerous looking weapon seemingly in an instant. Something which he then swung unhesitatingly at what could only be what he believes as the main source of his ire.
1d3 + 1 Horatlok Crit
1: You
2: You
3: Horatlok
4: Both
Result: 1
Which was apparently you!
"What the-!?" You said as you dodged the terribly performed attack. Noticing how he doesn't seem to put much thought into the the way he does his strike. "Why in the World are you attacking me!?" You managed to say as you dodged another bad swipe. "Who even are you!?" You tried to ask.
"I am <MUATUARY>!!" The God finally declared with a small release of his Divine Presence. The now named Deity still seems to be pretty much angry, however, because it still hasn't let up his attacks on you even in the slightest. Blindly releasing failed swipe after another failed swipe at you even as he began to seemingly ramble furiously to himself. "For destroying all of my efforts, My Creation, MY HOME, all of you shall PAY!!" Muatuary said venomously even as he swung his deadly branching right hand upwards toward your neck.
This time, however, you didn't just dodge Muatuary's attack. Instead, you took a tight hold onto it, and before your fellow God could even react, with a Breath, you pulled him up with all of your might. Flipping him over yourself to smash him strongly againts the surface of your Sea.
*CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH*
Over and over and over again.
What even is a Mangrove? You thought to yourself as you felt what the God you are currently swinging around is supposedly ruling over. Not recognizing the concept. Maybe it's related to the strange draining sensations you are currently feeling?
"Don't you dare think I forgot about you!" You then shouted suddenly. Alerted by the sharks currently circling around your form, you throw the slightly broken but still very barbed body of Muatuary at Horatlok who is trying to pounce you again when you are being distracted. Sending both of them away not too far from each other back into your Sea's dark embrace.
Unlike with Muatuary, however, something awaited the God of Excitement's arrival. And Horatlok himself soon realized this truth the moment he turned his body around after standing back up again on his feet.
Your Shark Construct will not waste the prime opportunity that was being presented up to it, however. Because as soon as it sees Horatlok trying to recover, it was immediately onto him.
"Huh? AA-!!?" Horatlok managed to yell out before being swiftly cutted off suddenly. For your Shark Construct was able to strike out quickly from behind the concealment of the waves before the Thief could even began to defend himself.
Seemingly in an instant, you saw Horatlok being dragged down under by the pressurized jaws of your Shark Construct. Both of them then began to struggle againts each other beneath the surface of your domain, with multitudes of devastating waves being the only visible sign of their clash.
As strong as your newly animated construct is, however, you doubt it is actually strong enough to fully contend with the might and strength of a God such as Horatlok.
"HRAAA!!"
Thus, it didn't take long for your assumption to be proven correctly. Because soon enough you see the form of your Shark Construct being struck slightly into the air by Horatlok's fist. Your subject returning back to you with a pitifully sounding shrill.
It managed to done plenty of damage, however. Because beside the deep bloody gouges on Horatlok's body that was just created by Muatuary's sharp thorns, the God of Excitement you are currently seeing had also even lost his whole right arm to your subject!
Result: Neptcys Triple Success!
+1 Wound. Critical! Overflow!
+2 Wound. Critical!
Crush! +1 Wound.
Horatlok Received a Debilitating Injury
Horatlok Received a Debilitating Injury
Horatlok Received a Minor Injury
Ah, yes. You then thought tiredly. Can't also forget about him. You soon continued deep inside of your mind because after turning around, you're able to see the resurging form of the God of Mangroves a little bit away from you in the distance. Muatuary still seemingly pretty angry about something.
Still. You then began to contemplate. Still keeping the forms of the two currently hostile Gods closely within your line of sight.
Everything is becoming a little bit too complicated for you. Now that there are two different beings who you truly need to watch out for in this battle, it is time for you to really began to think about your priorities. Especially now when Horatlok is seemingly standing on his last pair of leg.

Absently, you also took notice to how the currents of the surrounding area had also begun to rise. Maybe it's because of all the powerful impacts the three of you had done, but it's only going to be here for a short while, and while here, it should also make your attacks stronger for a little bit.
Regardless of it all, however. Seeing the shifting postures of the two Gods standing a little bit away from you, deep inside, you knew how this battle will soon reach it's end.
Thus, You Are Going To:
[ ] Crush 1: Attack Horatlok. The God of Excitement is still the one who you truly want out of this entire debacle. That is why you need to take him out first and foremost. You can start taking care of Muatuary once you are done with him.
Cost: 45 Faith
Result: Additional Wound and Horatlok as the Primary Target of your Attacks
[ ] Crush 2: Attack Muatuary. The God of Mangroves might prove to be a nuisance in your efforts to beat Horatlok. Once you are done taking him out, then you would be able to start focusing on what truly matters.
Cost: 45 Faith
Result: Additional Wound and Muatuary as the Primary Target of your Attacks
[ ] Build: More help would always be appreciated, however. And thankfully, you knew how exactly to create your own. Even both of them together wouldn't be able to stand a chance againts the power your Shark Constructs are able to bring.
Cost: 60 Faith
Result: Gain a number of Divine Water Construct (Shark) with the Miracle DC of 70
[ ] Stall: Still, you can't deny how fighting one againts two wasn't exactly a favorable thing for you. Not something you couldn't handle, but it still wasn't a situation you're happy to be in. Maybe you just need to fight defensively, and wait for an opportunity to present itself.
Cost: 40
Result: Chance to reduce the Wounds you are going to receive
