Cthulu saves! For dinner.
It happened one day. Bombs went off across the city and suddenly people got rounded up like cattle. One look at a Cthulu spawn and they were either screaming in utter insanity or on their knees in reverence. A couple of times men and women suddenly jumped each other coupling roughly on the roof of a car.

But they stopped and started to pick up all kinds of weapons. Most of them were improvised weapons.

The numerous Cthulu spawn who had been called up from the deep joined them. This city would be theirs by nightfall. They needed to finish it tonight.

Cthulu called to them.

They want swords? Dinadan Palmer, crowned prince of Morlaidh, can give them swords.

Well, a sword and a length of pipe he's picked up off the ground since his arrival in San Francisco. But the former has a certain seal carved on the blade to make up for the latter's inability to cut. If he'd had the time, he'd have sprayed the seal on the pipe too, but seals take time to do properly and these people need help now.

Dinadan runs to put himself between a Spawn and it's prey, raising his weapons in an obvious challenge.

	The spawn took the challenge and swiped with two knives, trying to cut tender human flesh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan dodges backward so that the knives pass without tasting the human-alien hybrid flesh they so eagerly crave, then brings the pipe down on what he hopes is really an exposed wrist and not a ruse to lure him in. At the same time, he flicks his sword out at the spawn's torso, testing its guard and the effectiveness of the seal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pipe hit and the arm was pulled back quickly. The sword was blocked by a tentacle and there was a hiss. The spawn roared in pain and lashed out with all tentacles and knives. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The seal is effective against these things! Assuming he doesn't die in the next few minutes, that's really exciting to know!

They're too close for him to dodge backward again, so Dinadan dodges forward and, more importantly, down. He loses his grip on the pipe, since it can't shrink with him, but the he brings his sword around to try and hamstring the spawn as he dives between its legs.

	The spawn roared in pain as the sword cut into his hamstring. There was a hissing sound as the sword bit into spawn-flesh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dinadan rolls to his feet and presses his advantage, determined to see this piece of business done. He does not want this thing to hurt anyone else, or to be able to sneak up on them later. Perhaps he ought to give it a chance to surrender, but could he even trust it if it did?

He's killed animals before. The Amazon rain forest is full of things that wouldn't mind making a meal out of something less than six inches tall. It's not something he particularly enjoys doing, but he doesn't loose any sleep over it either. He's as much Katarthan as he is human, and the Katarthans are a warrior people and he is their prince.

Dinadan doesn't waste his breath promising the spawn he's intent on that he'll make it quick. He just pours that energy directly into making it quick.

	The spawn lets out a horrifying noise as Dinadan pressed the attack and injured the beast more. The blow was deep and the beast's blood gushed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, that noise is going to haunt his nightmares, if they manage to put Cthulu back to sleep. Dinadan shudders and strikes again, to make sure it's dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)
