All of them explained the situation that they were in, and judging from the reactions, it seems like they are getting close now to actually moving onto the final step in solving this entire mess. Connor has to admit, all of this was starting to take its toll on him. Moving about all around the city, all the fighting, without much time at all to take any meaningful rests. He was glad that they were on the right track.

Attention moved over to Rios, and the startling fact that he himself has also become infected. With a new reason to be urgent, Malen rushed them over to what appeared to be a lab, as she worked quickly to create what might just be the cure that they were discussing. In what felt like no time at all, she finished and handed over the vial to the afflicted swordsman, who was visibly getting more affected by his infection by the minute.

“It actually works…”

Amidst all of the celebration however, was when a menacing noise rang out; a deep groan. Outside, a new monster revealed itself to everyone, emerging from a great distance away.

“Huh?”

It was all he could say, as the sheer overwhelming size of the monster left everybody else more or less speechless. With a nervous gulp, Connor turns towards Malen, urgency in his expression.

“Hey, we need to get everyone out of here… We had ships with us coming here, getting everyone to the port could be our best shot to get everyone to safety…!”

Of course, there’s still Sir Raedolf… Are there any other survivors out there…? No, the priest already hinted as much that chances of that are slim. These thoughts and more raced through Connor’s mind as he stood still, staring at the sight effectively paralyzed, as he considered how they would begin to deal with this.

Velvet

Did they... really made it? The cure? Velvet watched in confusion as the dragonborn was busy curing Rios. She's still pretty new in this world and she wasn't really sure how magic and disease interact here, but she's glad that their hard works pays off. Now that the burden of finding the cure had been lifted they can once again focus on the task they're sent here for, rescuing survivors.

There's still a lot of survivors here, maybe its time to call the captain. Velvet thought to herself as she peeked out of the room while her hand was clutching the pendant. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to rest yet as a massive monster rose on the horizon. Its groan shakes the city and Velvet stood in disbelief when she saw the monster.

"It's a- It's a Godzilla!!!" She said, almost screaming to herself. Of course the monster wasn't a godzilla, but as someone who spent her previous life watching movies on the hospital bed she couldn't help but compares it to the famous radioactive monster. Wait, was the blobbers actually some sort of radioactive mutant? Ah, no time for theory crafting. For now, she must save lives.

Velvet held the Pendant of Sending between her palms in a praying position as she said the captain's name. Hopefully, she did it right. This was the first time she use any kind of magic tools.

"Velvet here. Send help, lots of survivors in the hospital. Gigantic monster coming from north." Velvet said to the pendant, she wasn't really sure how many words she said so she added a bit more to emphasize the situation "Please be quick!"

"Over and out!"

Rios
Mentions: Develius Spoiled Bread Renny

Rios could feel the goop hivemind bouncing around in his brain, trying to claw its way deeper into his body. Unfortunately for the goop, Dr Malen was able to utilize the resources on hand to synthesize a cure for the swordsman's affliction. The moment he took the cure, Rios could feel the goop burn inside of him. His thoughts were temporarily clouded due to the sheer volume of its agonizing cries within his mind. Little by little, the goop's pain gave way to Rios's own feelings once more. Looking at the group of researchers who seemed absolutely delighted at the prospect of a cure. Rios wondered what it was like to feel such elation. He hadn't experienced something like that in a while. Soon the matter turned to how best to evacuate the remaining survivors off of this island, something which Rios was happy letting the others deal with. He was here as a sellsword, not exactly having the skills to provide the kind of relief the people were looking for.

The appearance of the Agregore made his body tense up for the briefest of moments. It was the massive creature he had seen within his visions provided by his goop sickness. A vanguard of the goops plan to spread its infection to the people of the world. Which he could openly speak about now that he had been cured. Whilst the rain beat down on his head and the Agregore roared as the prelude to a rampage. Rios felt his blood begin to pump, his mind begin to clear of the remaining fog. The Agregore was no doubt a serious threat to the people of Odai Island. However it was also an opponent that was no doubt strong enough to push Rios to the next level. Whether his thoughts were muddied or not, Rios was a sword demon who yearned for battle. Kicking off the ground and running towards the Agregore. Rios wanted to cut it, to slice through its huge frame.
