Though his shot wasn't as effective as he had hoped, the "piercing shot" had struck true. If they could keep up the pressure that [i]thing[/i] could be taken down. Caesar had been knocked back with a nasty hit. Bonesword had taken to the air with his own ability.

The monster yelled the Captain's name and fired its' pistols at him multiple times. Boone was barely able to avoid the shots as multiple bullets slammed into the railing, another tore through the outer layer of his coat and one even shot his hat clean off his head! Unfortunately, the last shot appeared unavoidable. Cedric braced himself as it penetrated into his side. A stinging pain shot through him as he clutched the wound with one hand. The bleeding wasn't so bad [i]yet[/i]. He looked at the hole for a moment and quietly muttered, [color=red]"You're going to regret that.."[/color] 

There was no helping it, the only way to take this thing down quickly would be to utilize his experimental ammunition. The untested [i]explosive shot[/i]. There was no telling how little or how much damage the ammo could produce. For all he knew, it could end up blowing up in his face. But he had to try. 

Captain Cedric loaded the large glowing ball into his blunderbuss and yelled out, [color=red]"EVERYONE, GET AWAY FROM IT!"[/color] He waited until he knew everyone had ample time to move. The pain had become more intense and the bleeding worse. The Shrimp's bullets were not to be messed with. Cedric grimaced in pain, stood up, and fired at the Shrimp Brigade's lower half with the intention of limiting the use of its' limbs and to give Bonesword a free attack at its' head. It sailed through the air like a grenade towards the shrimp's body.
