Blackmask's hand instantly went to the mask, in the frenzied fear that it had been lost. Luckily, it had not, and the pirate breathed a sigh of relief while scanning the new surroundings. Apparently, it was a park, based on the fallen trees and the fountain and OH GOD WAS THAT STATUE MADE OF SOLID GOLD. Blackmask practically exploded with anticipation. If something so valuable could be broken down and put in the Core, the sheer permanent power boost...
The Core. Where is it. WHERE IS THE CORE. The pirate screamed in anger, then raised a hand and counted to ten. I still got the boost from earlier, which means at the very least I can do my best to bring the loot aboard... best belay all the screaming if I want to live. Blackmask grabbed two rocks, one fairly sharp, off of the ground, and proceeded to drive the sharp one into the neck of the statue. Within seconds, the makeshift hammer and chisel had laid waste to everything above the statue's midsection; not a moment too soon, as the charge was dying down, and the pirate's muscles slowly shrank down to their previous size. Blackmask emitted a moan as the adrenaline surge died down, and slowly scooped chunks of gold into the jacket's many pockets.
Now then. Nothing left to do but hope for fair winds in recovering the blasted thing. And with that, Ripper Blackmask set off once again in search of the relic that meant so much.
