With his strike landing true, even Xarces himself is surprised at the devastation his attack has caused. Witnessing first hand as the serrated edge of Oblatione tears through flesh, bone, and scale alike with relative ease. So much so that Xarces finds himself impacting against the waters surface. His ruthless attack taking him deep below the very waves he had hoped to avoid. Glancing back to the water's surface, Xarces can be satisfied that his attempt to free Jules was an astounding success. The body of the mermaid whom had held him drifting lifelessly above him, as his cyan eyes begin to survey the area around him. Looking to see how many other mermaids may have yet to surface.<br/><br/>His aerial charge had taken him some distance from the side of the ship, and now having sunk beneath the waves, a shiver of uncertainty would creep up the spine of the bard. Memories of the Dino that had attacked them previously, of how vulnerable he could be where the other mermaids to take notice of him down here. With Jules now free, Xarces next priority would be to get himself back to the surface as quickly as possible.<br/><br/>Xarces<div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">If you wish to start another round, Xarces will cast Allegro (thus granting himself haste) and begin swimming for the surface.</div></div></div>
