Re: RIVER #2
As Shadow had requested, the sailors went about thier Business... The captain shouting, the standard " veer to the Starboard' that both ships should do, to eliminate any chance of Collison..
but the Bigger ship did not veer, The smaller ship moved faster, the bigger ship was against the wind.. the Jolly boat was being helt tight by a sailor on the ster, when the word was given( if it was given).. three of them would Puller the Jolly boat around the stern and let the current take it towards the bigger Vessel
The Captain picked up his call Horn and shouted into it..AHOY, THE SHIP!...MAKE YORU STARBOARD TURN
from the crows nest, the sailor shouted...There's people On Deck captain,,crouched down... wearing Leathers... Kree could see two people climbing the Rat lines to her to the Main Mast's crosstrees.
takeing quick steps down to the waits of the ship. Kree said to Ivy, Go up and use your Bow from there... send the sailor down...
what?.. why me? you always say your are better with a Bow then I am...
I am? but who is better with sword?...... Loke for Mages or priests... kill the captain if you can..... but wait until there is no doubt what they are doing
Ivy swore Under his breath took two leaps to the ratlines and scrambled up as if he had been a sailor all his Life.
The Bigger ship.. the Voice was heard through the same Type of horn.....Ahoy... This is The Tiger's Teeth!./.. we Hail from Vestes!.... heave to and surrender your Goods and Half your crew, and we will let you free....if you try to Fight..you will lose...
The Taller Sailor started to shake... Kree looked at him,..show some back bone Man? There are women and a Child watching you...
turning his head Upwards... the sailor Just came down, grabbing a Cutlass from the Boatswain...How Many!
20 troops on the Deck.. more movement i can see throught he cargo hatch..maybe? another 20 sailors for certain...
..Gods be damned... Kill the fellow with the Horn...
Hooka!.... the dragonettes head popped out of the Hold.,,they have Archers... they can Kill you?... I want you to fly across,, one fireball into the men on the deck.. one into the Main Mast shrouds to cook the archers..Then? fly to the shore line, so they do not kill you...Under stood...? The beast Looked at Mik who was down in the Hold with his crossbow, where the captain sent him to 'protect the good"
I am ready, Cousin...
Kree looked at Hooka, ..go!..
.. The arrow zipped from the main mast of the Raining Sorrow.. There was a shout of Pain and surprised Followed But shouts of confusion.. Hooka Zipped across the water,, rose over the Railings of The Tiger's Teeth, spit A fire Ball into the midsts of the crouching warriors ,, she Zipped Upwards and fired tow Balls into the Shrouds,,and the Flames rose quickly , aid by tar and oil treatments.. Then the Dragonette was Gone as she zipped to the east shore Line.. some troops tried to Knock her down with Arrows, but everything happened too quickly...
Another Arrow Zipped from Ivy's bo a female shriek was hard over the water as the Larger ship Bore Down on them.
Kree stepped to the Railing , Nocking as he walked he stood for a second and let fly, a fellow on ther other ships railing that was spinning a Grappling hook was hit in the thing, he toppled screaming into the water...
The darkening sky made the Flames seem more horrid.. the canvas on the Main Mast was Burning Up wards.. the archers and the two men in the crows nest would dire.. either from buring... from the fall to the deck..or from the fall into the river, which would be soon roiling with serpents sicne the grapple man had Fallen in ...
flames were Burning on the deck , that's to the Viscous fireballs of the dragonette.. Men where screaming as thier oiled Leather became an enemy yo them one fool dove into the water..the fire was spreading on the deck as unprepared Sailors lo0oked for Buckets of sand, as water cause the flames to spread..
from the stern the sailors said... Jolly boat is ready Captain Kree!
Hold it until we need you to fight!
Aye , Holding 'till we fight...
..Krwyn, see if you can get the Mizzen Mast Burning...
The Captain looked on in shock...The main Mast will begin to fall the burning canvas and spars will be the death of her...
Kree knocked another arro and Let Fly at a fellow who was trying to aid one of the Burning Men... the arrows seemed to sprout from the Man's Back.
The Tall sailor was saying prayers to 20 differant Gods...Kree said,Foucs on the Sisters you fool!..if you think anything but lick will get us through the next hour..you are sadly mistaken..
everyone with Misslie weapons.., start to knock down any sailors you can see, or warriors with grappling Hooks..DO IT NOW!
