Ok, then moving back to the story a little..
In what sense have we gotten away from 'the story', and you need to move it back?Sir headed towards the beach, a little confused at the battle he just saw, wondering if he even saw it. "ahh, well. At least I'm part of something in a group now, I havent seen a lot of the action going on since I got here.."
I'm still quite confused as to what 'the story' is and how these two sentences are supposed to represent moving back to it.

Tim quickly sped up.
"Don't kill the krakens yet!" Tim yelled.
"Why?" Pika and Sir asked in unison.
"Because we need to get rid of them once and for all. Let me take a blood sample, then I'll invent a Kraken repellent!" Tim explained.
There should be blood pretty much everywhere for you to take a sample of, shouldn't there? With all those Leap Slashes.Pika, Sir, and Tim all took fighting stances, then Tim leapt in the air with the Masamune and a spear-ish thing in hand.
A gigantic syringe, perhaps? Swiped it from Barry Bonds?"Pika, Thunderbolt the other one! Sir, help me on this one!" Tim exclaimed.
Acting as told, Pika took the other Kraken's attention away, and Sir kept this one's mouth at bay(ooh! that rhymes!)
Tim slashed at the Kraken he Leap Slashed, and then instantly skewered the wound. He pressed a button, and took a blood sample.
"Got it, now, let's kill these things!"
Tim shouted.
The three on two battle continued, but Pika's team had the advantage of battle expierence.
And AC God Mode.[This message has been edited by Little Yoshi (edited 04-17-2000).]
It's easy for an IF to get irrecoverably bogged down in simple fights, which offer no tension since, again, it's not as though anyone expects the AC's to get whacked by some monster. The successful IF has lots of fighting, of course, but it tends to move on with the story after only brief pauses to describe the combat. The tension is in the plot development, not the fighting itself.

(If you're reading this and are a little confused, just go with it, I seem to be in two places at once)
My life did get a lot easier when I decided to just go with being confused.*WHAM* with a hard left hook, Sir takes out one of the already worn out Krakens.
Hahaha. That's awesome. The truly badass AC takes down a Kraken with a left hook. Eat your heart out, Sugar Ray Robinson."I've got one, dude, the other's all yours!!"
[piiiikaaaaCHHHHHUUUUU!!]
A blinding thunderbolt surrounded the area..
The kraken were defeted!
"Me, fighting along with a pokemon, heh, never thought I'd see the day. Well, I've got to get back to the beach for the show. Tim, Pika, always a pleasure!"
And with that, Sir ran back into the main storyline...
Thanks, Sir! We'll call you next time we need an eldritch abomination dropped by someone's bare hands!

(People, READ above... I already defeated the Krakens... doesn't anyone look at their posts after they make them?)
You can see why Tengu was just so damn endearing.
He does have a perfectly valid point, though. People really weren't much for reading before they rushed in and posted, resulting often in some hapless random encounter getting skewered all to hell in gloriously bloody fashion by six different AC's. It's a competitive world out there.

Tengu: sorry, I was finishing out the battle you had already finished, let the occurences of the battle with me and Pikachu vrs. the Kraken be stricen from the halls of IF.
I think I'll leave them there. They amuse me.

Yeah, but valid point or not, you're right that I should've been a lot more civil about it, but that's past me for you. Hot-headed and simpleminded! :P
