Abbas sent yet another beam of desiccating energy towards the monstrous creature. This beam took the form of a small whirl wind of sand. This energy, Abbas speculated would cause the creatures blood to dry up in the area where it struck-leaving an unhealthy amount of salt within the creatures systems and making it much harder for it to move. Granted, it might not be effective against this large of creature. However, as his guards fired yet another volley at the creature, Abbas reflected that the sheer amount of flaming arrows would more definitely do...something.

Xavier sent a beam of ice directly at the monster's third mouth, hoping to freeze it in its tracks so he could dispose of it with fire or blades.

Relic spread his wings and flew off the head, trying to trick the attacking head into biting the one he was hanging on.

Tharylepta's third mouth was filled with Ice by the Archmage's attack, causing it to crash uselessly against its second head. Just then, the Merchant's sand spell struck its second head, the creature shrieking furiously and writhing about as the flurry of flaming arrows also made contact. With difficulty, it lowered its second head into the water and gulped up more water, returning to spew boiling water at the Merchant Archers once more, intending to knock their flaming arrows out of the air.

Xavier grinned when the third head was frozen. "Time to go to work." He said to himself with a smile as he got a running start and leaped off of the dock onto the third head. Taking out his twin short swords, he stabbed down into the top of the third head in the area that he guessed was the third head's brain.

Abbas was breathing hard-this was taking a toll on him. Nevertheless, he gathered his strength and sent a larger whirl-wind of sand at the oncoming stream of water-seeking to halt it's advance and, quite literally, leave it high and dry. Behind him, the archers fired once more. Their shouts of encouragement to each-other and their screamed threats towards the beast filled the sky alongside their arrows.

The Assassin's Guild in its entirety erupted from the shadows of the city and began their long run over several boats to the creature. Nobles, Shadows, and Assailants all worked together, a rarity. The archers and minor mages attacked from afar, going for the eyes, ears, open mouth, and where the neck met the head and main body. The melee Assassins comandeered several boats, or simply skipped onto them and dove into the waters, using their superior agility to evade any attacks that they read from the massive creature.

Then Alias appeared, his eyes narrowed.

"A unique creature," he muttered. "Almost a shame to kill it, even if it is attacking Tuseid."

Dusk jumped onto the second head as it rose out of the water, hanging onto the scaly head for his life. Dusk crawled slowly to one of the eyes, and let go temporarily, unsheathing his knife bones and stabbing them both into the monster's eye.

Shrieking in agony, the third head also dove beneath the waves, disappearing, leaving only the second head, which clamped down on yet another ship, hurling it ashore toward Alias as it did its best to dodge as many arrows as possible, angrily shaking Dusk aside in the process.

Relic studied the creature, then dove straight at the side of its head, intending to plunge his blades into the space where its jaw bone connected.

Xavier hopped from the third head onto the second head. "Pardon me." He said to Dusk with a smile. He fired a quick ice bolt down onto the second head before hopping off of it onto an un-destroyed dock.

Dusk fell into the water, but sprung up onto the docks as quickly as possible. He jumped up and dug the knife bones into the monster's jaw, around the same spot that Relic was aiming for.

Suddenly, many warriors erupted from the edges of the city, led by Nightfall himself. They all let out battle cries before the archers launched hundreds of arrows at the beast and the swordsmen slashed at the monster like crazy people.

Abbas grinned as his spell took it's toll on the creatures stream of water. The formerly deadly stream was little more then vapor now. With one last battle cry, he sent another spell at the creature-this one was a mite bit more deadly however. A beam made up of thousands of glass pieces-molten glass pieces-was sent towards the creature. The archers, for their part, fired yet another volley-many of them were openly grinning. They were winning and they knew it.

Now covered in arrows, only a small portion of the hundreds that had been fired, the remaining active head of Tharylepta made one last ditch effort, quickly hurling three more ships ashore at the onslaught of heroes.

Nightfall walked onto the docks, aiming a crossbow straight at the monster's jaw. He fired several times, before jumping up and slashing at the same spot he had fired his crossbow at moments before.
