Who: Anyone who wants to pick on Tamatoa.
When: Day 45 onward.
Where: In and around Tamatoa's lair.
What: People getting up into Tamatoa's grill for some reason or another. Anybody is welcome to participate, but please communicate with the mods first so that we can discuss how to set up the thread and what your characters are attempting. Tamatoa may attack people outside of his lair, too, but you'll need some kind of narrative hook to prevent him from just eating you if you want to engage him that way.
Warnings: Crab related violence.

TAMATOA'S LAIR↴ Tamatoa lives in a giant clam shell, inside of a mysterious cave that lies about a half hour's swim away from the city. This is also where he keeps most of his loot - either stashed somewhere in the lair or (mostly) sitting on the back of his shell. He hangs out in this cave most of the time he isn't stomping around looking for sunken ships. Tamatoa is gigantic. In fact, he's even a bit more gigantic than he appeared in the movie Moana - and those combating him will find that he also seems to be somewhat resistant to magical affects. A human is the relative size of a pen cap in his claws, and he could crush a normal person will trivial effort. He could also pretty easily toss them into his giant mouth - which he usually will, given the opportunity. Facing Tamatoa could come with great reward, but with equally high risk.

Tamatoa is just entering his lair when the bubble explodes, sort of hurting his claw? Mostly it feels like having someone slap someone out of your hand, which is both annoying and also sort of rude? He lets the van go, shaking his claw as if burned.

"Ow!" he says, obviously offended. And then the yo-yo smacks him in the face. He puts a claw to his cheek, stunned. "OW! Where did you come from?"

He focuses on snapping his claws at Smoky, since obviously they are the one causing all the problems right now. The van is free to sink at its own pace - he can get that later.

"Get... back... here!"
