"Oh, well, after a childling made me feel old and retired and done, I got riled and went monster hunting. I was trying to prove something, to meself mostly. I have contacts at sea, and learned of a monster raiding up and down Jamaca's cost. Killing folks even. I went to help, but mostly to get my mad on. I had the element of surprise, used the Narwhal's weapons took it in the sidde and wounded it. It came for me, Harpoon was launched. It hurt me some, dinged the ship... but I had it on the ropes and unable to escape." A breath "THat IS, of course, when the sea monster's MATE showed up, fresh, unwounded, and it was PISSED!"
"Mind you, I felt a bit of guilt at that, but I am not sure I could have spared its mate even if I wished... it had killed so many. And it was bleeding out. The Narwal was nearly broken, and I might have come to a bad end if not for Selkies who had a grudge against both sea monsters. THe second sea monster was badly hurt, and had to retreat."
