The Red Raven tumbles down the vortex with the rest of his friends. Below them, what now appears a giant gaping maw, draws ever closer. Tentacles lash up at them from all around the giant beast's massive mouth. "Unholy demons! Is that Dagon, Lord of the Deep?"
The vigilante digs deep and casts a glance to each side at each of his companions in turn. Finally believing in himself and drawing great strength from each of his allies, who have proven themselves worthy of trust and respect countless times over and over again, The Raven draws a sword in each hand and prepares to face the demon head on.

In a flurry of slashes, stabs, explosions, desperate evasive maneuvres, shouted words of encouragement, prayers to every known god...and more than a little teamwork between friends, the group manage to slay the great beast in what turns out to be a surprisingly one-sided fight in their favour!
"Good work, guys!" the masked avenger wipes a glob of gross jelly-like from off of his face. "The Deep just got a little bit safer!"

The Red Raven finds himself engaged in mortal combat with a huge crab-like creature, but it proves no match for the determined vigilante. First chopping off one massive claw, the Masked Avenger does a full pirouette that brings his blade down and through the beast's other clawed arm.
His first sword badly damaged in the attack, The Red Raven sets himself at the sight of another identical beast, drawing a fresh blade and preparing for the next fight.

"You are who you need to be. You don't need to choose!" the fortune-teller enigmatically advises him. "Don't question yourself and just face the challenges ahead as they come!"
A challenge in the shape of an aquatic scorpion is flung towards him, snapping him, at least for the moment, out of his thoughts. Instinctively he slashes his sword not once but twice at the scaly beast, slicing it in two with the second strike of his sharp blade.

The commotion, it seems, has been caused by a cowardly attack on the bridge from a pirate ship sailing into the mouth of the river. Lobbing cannonballs from its side onto the structure, the assault sends the civilians diving to safety as the parts of the bridge explode from each devastating impact. Aric can see that the Blood Moon is moored nearby and is also being bombarded.

Tarlin holds the wheel, however, and expertly steers their ship out of trouble. The Red Raven takes a running start and leaps over the side of the bridge, rises several feet into the air, performs two somersaults in mid flight and then lands feet first on the deck of the ship, right behind the cannoneer responsible for this dastardly assault on the bridge.
A well placed sword ends the cannoneer's threat and the bridge is safe once again. A few injured civilians are still in danger, however. Some nurse their wounds and some others hang precariously off the side of the half-destroyed structure. The Red Raven thinks he recognises one slender form with long flowing black hair. His heart leaps into his mouth as he realises that the object of his affections is clinging on for dear life!

The vigilante steps back, preparing to take another running jump over to save sweet Marianix, but before he can he's confronted by a huge beast that amazingly blinks into existence right in front of his eyes. "Holy arachnids! Where did this eight-legged horror come from?" A large spider-like monster with an eerie, humanoid face and a shaggy fur mane looms above him, reaching down to bite the unsuspecting masked hero.
Quickly rolling out of the reach of the bite and under the unnatural creature, The Red Raven lunges upwards into the arachnid's abdomen with his new life-sucking sword. The spider lets out a final anguished shriek before it pops back out of existence, leaving the vigilante free once more to rush to the aid of the young woman who holds the strings to his heart.

With another breathtaking leap, this time with a twist added to the two somersaults, the Red Raven lands behind Marianix, grabs her wrist and whisks her up into his arms. "My hero!" she exclaims as she wraps her arms around the red and black garbed vigilante and plants a big kiss on his lips.
Having shown no hesitation in the face of crumbling bridges, attacking pirates and giant spiders from another dimension, the Red Raven suddenly finds himself shocked and frozen in place in the face of this unexpected, but most welcome occurrence!

A scuffle breaks out on the bridge as two rough looking men startpushing and shoving at each other as one tries to go one way and the other tries to push past in the other direction. One man ends up going in a completely different direction...over the side of the bridge and down into the water.
Aric, eager for the distraction from all this clairvoyant nonsense, ducks away into the trees and returns feeling much more sure of himself, now that he's not himself at all but is instead...The Red Raven!
The other man ends up heading in the same direction as the other fellow, head over tail and tumbling into the water. That's one way to help two guys see things the same way.
Having dealt with the disagreement, the vigilante is relieved to see the fortune-teller wandering off, confused as to where Aric has gone.

Bringing his sword up to meet the evil sea creature, the siren ends up skewered on the Red Raven's blade.

Ducking under a stall, Aric takes only a couple of seconds to quickly reappear out the other side in his red and black garb. Rushing to deal with the devilish devil, The Red Raven reaches to draw his sword and frustratingly finds the dagger pistol in his hand instead. With a sigh of disgust he chucks the thing at the fiend and then rushes in to follow it up with a more gentlemanly swing of his blade.
Reveal Menacing Backsword +1. Discard Dagger Pistol +1 to add 1d4 and the Ranged trait (avoiding the discard a card effect).
The vigilante grudgingly admits the dagger pistol came in handy as it hits the devil in the shoulder, putting it off just enough to provide a nice angle towards its exposed neck...allowing the sword to finish the job.
With barely a nod to the crowd, the Red Raven disappears back into a side alley and is gone as quick as he appeared.

As Adelita finally makes her way down the stairs, she spots the masked vigilante and snarls. "Ah, I've 'eard you were on board. I've been lookin' for the chance ta defeat the famed Red Raven. A bit shorter than I expected but at least you look pleased ta see me! Here, catch this, little birdy!" She shoots a ball of fire out of her hand which The Red Raven only barely manages to duck underneath. As the wood panels behind him catch fire he still gets a bit singed, but it definitely could have been worse. Up on deck he hears the sounds of combat breaking out and hopes his companions are faring all right as well.
As the one armed woman readies another burst of magical fire, she raises her hooked hand as if ready to strike. Seeing the moment is right, the Red Raven lunges forward with his smaller backsword, swinging at the pirate's hooked arm.

The woman's hooked hand goes rattling across the deck and she screams out in anger and pain. Her eyes seem to glow with rage and her inner magic as she lets out a roar and raises a glowing hand to send another burst of fire straight into the vigilante from point blank range. The Red Raven is ready for the counter-strike, however, and feints to the right before swinging a second sword from the left with his off-hand, in an arc up and under and into the pirate's ribcage.

With a burst of magical flames, the pirate's heart is pierced by The Red Raven's blade. She tumbles down onto the decks, and the vigilante, exhausted himself, slumps down beside her onto his knees. "Holy, fireballs! She was almost too hot to handle!"
It is the hour of the Gods Start of turn. Windward Isle effect. Draw a card: Blessing of Bastet

Slipping below deck for just a moment, Aric disappears and in his place appears the red and black garbed vigilante. Crossing the tossing deck with ease, the masked man leaps in front of the tengu just as he was about to run the mesmerist through, running his sword through the piratical tengu instead. The bird's blood runs red all over his shiny black feathers and for a moment the two combatants look like they could be long lost brothers. "Watch it pal, this costume's my legal trademark, you're treading on dangerous waters looking like that!" Dangerous waters indeed, although the tengu isn't stepping on them, he's soon sinking beneath them as his body is washed overboard and quickly disappears under a massive wave.

The Red Raven doesn't do spells, so no need for the BYA check.
The priest's tale proves a true one, as The Red Raven does indeed encounter an apparition in the alley running behind the shop. Steeling himself for the fight, the vigilante draws his magical blade. He is surprised but pleased to see the ship's cleric coming down from the other end of the alley, symbol of Sarenrae raised high and glowing. She'd obviously had the same idea after hearing the seafaring cleric's tale of horror.
The evil spirit, weakened by the priest's holy energy, proves little match for The Red Raven. With one swing of his sword, he carves through the incorporeal beast, dispelling it into the air. He doesn't have much time to savour the victory, however, as an ominous sound comes from around the corner. Sounding like a mix between the growls of a large cat and the hissing of snakes, the sight of the beast is even more disturbing. It is exactly what it sounded like it might be. A cat with snakes growing out of its shoulders!! Why couldn't the priest have mentioned this thing in his story?

Not dwelling too much on the horrific appearance of the creature, The Red Raven bravely steps forward and strikes at the aberration, hoping it bled like a normal beast would. Thankfully it does, both the snakelike and the catlike parts of it bleed thick blood onto the pavement after the vigilante has disposed of the threat.
As thanks, the apothecary's owner offers the vigilante a reward...a bottle of rum! "It's the least I can do!" the man says. The Red Raven can't argue with the truth of that statement and heads back into the shadows.

The Red Raven sees the strange red skinned creature with black wings that he caught a glimpse of before. As its eyes flick towards his, it starts to let out a strangely captivating song that freezes the vigilante in place. Unable to reach for his weapon, he watches in horror as the creature approaches him, ready to strike.
Just barely able to move his fingers he tries to drop the vial of freezing liquid onto the ground, only managing to do it by loosening his locket and chain and letting both items fall at once to the ground.

The vigilante lunges toward the sneaky monster with his rapier, just barely managing to stick the elusive little sniper on the tip of his blade, running him through.
Wary of another ambush, The Red Raven agrees to let little Slip scout ahead through the shadows, while he momentarily becomes less conspicuous in his civilian clothes.

With a quick slash of his blade, The Red Raven cuts the aquatic creature back down to size. With the creature successfully dealt with, the vigilante then cuts off a few of the brightly coloured tendrils and attaches them to his mask. Surprisingly, the effect is to make him look even more fearsome and intimidating. Probably something to do with that old cliche. You know the one, The anemone of my anemone and however it goes.
The ship's newest crew member, a wise half-elf cleric of Sarenrae then steps forward. "Let me check for the presence of any evil ahead...those anemone aren't usually so aggressive. Perhaps something has influenced it?"

The vigilante finds a gun lying around on the bridge. Was it left there by the loser in some sort of duel? Not a great fan of firearms, The Red Raven picks it up, more to keep it out of the wrong hands than with any real intention to use it with his.
A plump, austentatiously dressed man suddenly appears from behind a tree at the far end of the bridge. "Oh, I say good man...ah, you didn't happen to see a fine looking weapon lying around? I must have dropped it when I ran into those bushes. You see there's a half-man half Cr...AGGGH! There it is again!"

One claw goes flying loose, spiraling end over end into the sea. The Red Raven doesn't relent, lunging in again to parry the 2nd claw and sever it from the sea creature's body.
