The Best Job I Ever Had

*The Best Job I Ever Had* was a oneshot set in *You Will Hear Thunder*'s main narrative. It involves the San Hayik and its cargo of prisoners being raided by the Iron Typhoon. It consisted of two combat encounters.

It is also known around the server as the **Zones Oneshot**, due to the amount of AoE fields deployed around the map during combat.

## Oneshot Pitch

*To Valentyn,
It has been three moons since we left port in Ananara, and hopefully by the time this missive reaches you, we are well within the harbors of Jambangan drinking ourselves into a stupor and getting filthy rich. I say "hopefully" since there has been word that the waters around the Sultanate are rather… precarious as of late. Word has it that tideborne witch-captains are straying further from their set migration routes, and that sina corsairs plague the shallows around Akai. I have never been a God-fearing man, but if there's anyone up there (or below, I don't care) listening right now, you can bet my 3rd mother that I've prayed to them for protection. It does not help that our cargo is rather dangerous to begin with. The men are nervous, and a few lost a couple of fingers feeding the cargo their rations. I pray for the wind and tides to bring us closer to that blasted city without further incident.*

 *As for your son, he is adjusting quite well to life on the seas. He is as focused as ever, performing his tasks without complaint but the hijo is far too tense; for God's sake the man has not smiled since we embarked, not* *even once! It is as if I am ferrying a damned statue; a rather useful, if not well-dressed, statue.*

 *Regardless, he has grown to be a fine young man since I last saw him when he was but a child, and I suppose that would be the case since he takes up after his father. I hope that you will not be too hard on the hijo when we return to Ananara. The journey has been difficult as it is, and the boy still walks as if he carries all of Yutadagat on his shoulders. Makagagahum knows that in a different life, for what it is worth, I would be proud to call him my son. I pray that you will one day call him as such.*

 *I fear that this may be the last missive I send until the trade mission returns to Ananara. The nights grow longer, and the tides roil and churn to an unnatural rhythm. Rest assured, no harm will come to the boy. You have my word, for what little worth it yet means to you.*

*Most faithfully yours,
Amílcar Cristoval
Kapitan of the San Hayik*

## Summary

(players and/or chingkaw pls edit i barely remember it anymore huhuhu)

Basically, the San Hayik is a Virbanwan ship sailing its merry way to Jambangan to deliver - among other things - its prisoners. These consist of Sesilya (Sarimanok Knight), Sala (Exorcist??), Rugo (Flower Necromancer), and Himig (Fool Cartomancer), in addition to a mysterious woman. Cortador (Swordsaint) is the nephew of the San Hayik's captain, Amilcar Cristoval. His chores occasionally includes guarding the prisoners. While below deck, they all hear a ruckus(??) above. They're being raided lol???

I forgot the first encounter huhu tho I do remember it was the Lieutenants of the Iron Typhoon? Kamarang et al.

Second encounter consisted of Junhao going sicko mode. Also, Tio Amilcar gets killed, f.

The San Hayik's crew and prisoners decide to join the Iron Typhoon, including the mysterious woman, who - showing Junhao her child's poorly-drawn crayon artworks of balu - is revealed to be A'sang, Melag's mother.
