    R2T19.7: Leonidas grabs his spell component pouch, and then taking the cured bit of leather that is the focus for the spell, he casts a spell. A blue nimbus surrounds him briefly before disappearing. “Make some light!”

    Mage armor requires you to grab your spell component pouch. Even though you have Eschew Materials, that is material components ... not a focus, like what is required for this spell, and one of the reasons you even have a component pouch. MA to grab pouch (in hand, not secured to side), SA to cast spell.

    R2T19.5: Ved slings his quiver and grabs his spell component pouch.

    R2T19.4: Saiden, longsword in hand. What do you do?

    R2T19.3: Scathe shakes his sword in his hand to feel the weight, then picks up his shield. He takes a breath and advances towards the ladder as quietly as possible. He gets to the ladder, but doesn't go up it yet. He only sees Scathe directly above, but hears footfalls forward (where your ladder is) and aft.

    R2T19.2: Many of the sailors belowdecks grab and put on their quivers.

    R2T18.1: Aft, one of the small folk tries to push a sailor over the gunwale, but fails.

    R2T17: Kel goes into another flurry to punch Pink in what might be a ... face(?) ... for 23 NL. The second blow seems to strike it, but too much energy is absorbed by its aqueous mass.

    R2T16-14: Splashing off the port forward quarter. One of the small creatures on deck charges Kel, but she blocks his advance.

    R2T12: Captain Odenkirk makes his way onto the aft deck, shouting imprecations in Norspik and firing up his men.

    R2T11.1-9: Pink steps into flank against Kel, but instead of attacking her gives a mighty heave to Imogen knocking her back 10' ... enough to throw her over the gunwale and into the water! A voice is heard casting a spell somewhere off the forward starboard quarter. One of the little guys on the after section of the ship pushes a sailor overboard.

    End Round 2, Beginning Round 3 ...

    R3T19.9:
    Imogen, you have found yourself in the icy waters, fully submerged, and it is relatively dark though a choppy sense of the weak light from the night lanterns on the boat are seen, refracted oddly. What do you do? What do you have Kyr do?

    R3T19.9: Imogen curses "BLRGHGH!!!" Being underwater the sound is distorted as a burst of bubbles roil towards the surface. The nice thing is, bubbles help give direction to that upwards way she must swim. So she flails around for a bit to right herself

    She flails around for a bit trying to figure our which way is up and does her best to swim to the surface. She gets to rope haulers for the ship, but can't get up them yet. A second later she hears in her mind ...

    R3T19.4: Saiden didn't have to think twice about her actions. She lashes out and slashes that midget in the side with a loud splash that does 10 and it falls to the deck. Saiden is pretty sure that she should have really torn open some extra internal damage with that. While the strike was effective and felled the opponent, still it wasn't as effective as she had hoped for some reason.

    R3T19.3: Scathe, your sword is in hand, and you are hiding at the bottom of the ladder, so you only see Saiden on deck from your vantage. What do you do?

    R3T19.3: Scathe continues his stealthy advancement to get to the top of the ladder, but only the top while he hunkers behind the woman - as he stands awkwardly at the top of the ladder. Looking around, and seeing that there are battles on both sides of the ship (forward and aft), he realizes that he is exposed to those that can't easily get to him, and hopefully hidden from those on the forward portion of the ship.

    R3T19.2: The sailors belowdecks take and gird their short swords while having bows in hand as the weapon they intend to use. Off the forward port quarter, a sailor's voice is heard. "Help! Help me!" but to his credit he had climbed up the side and simply tumbles over the side of the gunwale to end up prone on the deck near the anchor's line. Aft, the sailor that had just gone over is climbing over the gunwale, but had to drop their short sword to make the climb.

    R3T19-18: Imogen, something just swam quickly at you from underwater and smacks something against your leaf armor. You make out a man-sized humanoid shape in the water next to you (5' below the surface, wielding a trident). One of the little creatures aft pushes the sailor right back into the water.

    R3T17: Without enveloping her feet in the same energy most of her unarmed strikes have had to create a powerful punch, Kel focuses on an axe-kick to the head. So powerful is that axe kick that what passes for its head completely caves in and the entire body of it discorporates into a wash of water rather than a body before even the body disappears. Her momentum is such that she lets out a quick kick to the back of Green for 6.

    R3T16-14: Two fish of some sort speed through the water to then ram Imogen with its snout. The first is successful for 2, knocking Imogen offsides against the second attack.

    R3T12: "Damnable water spirits! I'll chop the lot of you into rainwater!" Captain Odenkirk shouts as he then utters a snarl and moves up, cutting into brown for 21, a grievous blow.

    R3T11-9: Imogen sees yet another humanoid in the water swim up, cast a spell underwater, and touch the warrior that to which she is adjacent. One of the small creatures tries to push against the captain.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T19.9:
    Imogen, you are surrounded by a whole lot of things ... two fish of some typ and an undersea warrior, and another warrior behind him casting magic on the one fighting you! Imogen is right next to the some rope she can use to climb up ... but she is threatened by several. She never did get a dagger in her hand, so at least she doesn't have to drop one if she is going to climb. What do you do?

    Spoiler: Imogen >>> Kyr
    Show
    "Kyr, Weigh this fish thing down with a Woeful Burden!"
    Kyr flies over to attack one of the fish things, interpreting that to be that which looks more like fish than not (so not the target Imogen was hoping it would be). Since that fish-thing was just under the surface of the water anyway (and the humanoid was not), it is a viable target, and despite everything going against him, he manages to dart down to peck at Blue fish-thing. The gloom appears, and Imogen tries to begin climbing. She has trouble getting purchase at first, but then on her second attempt is successful and begins climbing up the ship, but not before she is attacked in this very vulnerable position. The red fish-thing slams her in the right arm for 4. Blue fish-thing slams the bottom of her foot for 3. The humanoid's trident is held in check by her leather armor.

    R4T19.7: Leonidas moves to get up onto the main deck, but has to use the aft ladder and get up to the aft side to do so because Scathe is on the ladder facing the bow. Once there, he and his glowing sword move to a central location; looking dramatic and threatening as he surveils the situation. He stands aside Captain Odenkirk while looking at two small creatures made of water that likewise stand shoulder-to-shoulder against the two seaman.

    R4T19.5: Ved follows Leonidas up the ladder and hunkers down by the helm.

    R4T19.4: Saiden, Imogen is calling for help off the forward starboard quarter, and you even see her arms hanging onto the gunwale over there, and maybe her face pop up. What do you do?

    R4T19.4: Saiden moves over to the gunwale, looks over, and seeing trouble below gets into reaching blade stance, letting loose with an iron wake at a fish-creature that she sees. But Saiden so grossly overestimates that her sword pongs against the ship and comes back to hit her in the left shoulder for 13.

    R4T19.3: "Aw, hell." he mutters under his breath. As he looks out and sees things approaching from down in the sea, Scathe considers going back to get his crossbow. He's without his armor and feeling a bit naked. Everything ahead of him looks a bit dire, and the lanterns on deck ably light up the deck of the ship, providing little cover for him to sneak around. He takes his chances to check out the commotion to his south, climbs down the ladder, goes aft, goes up that ladder, and gets into position to help the captain.

    R4T19.2: Red sailor takes a belaying pin from the inboard gunwale, prompting little Green to swing at home. Red sailor then stands and steps into flank with Kel. Combat continues off the starboard aft quarter. A sailor (Green) comes up on deck, looks around, and shoots his bow at little Yellow (aft), missing.

    R4T19-18: A trident catches Imogen in her lower back for 7, and her world goes dark as she then looses her grasp in front of Saiden's eyes ... and slips down into the sea. Meanwhile, the little one (Brown) fighting Leonidas gives a mighty heave and a push and sends Leonidas sprawling back 10' .. enough to throw him over the gunwale into the sea. Now that Leonidas is in the water, his shining blade sees something speeding towards him. He just manages to deflect a trident from a charging/swimming fish-man who has a trident in one hand, and a loaded crossbow in the other.

    R4T17: Kel kicks at the littl guy she flanks, more as a distraction, and then deftly moves past it to go over the side and into the water near where Imogen last was.

    R4T16-14: The fish creatures turn on Kel. Little Guy Green sees an opportunity and steps away from the sailor with a belaying pin. It gets up to Saiden and .... pushes her over the side. Saiden falls right onto the water, but Imogen's body keeps her from going too deep under. Strangely, that may have worked out, as Saiden can now grab Imogen if she wanted to. Of course, she is in the water, disoriented, and surrounded by creatures who thrive in this environment.

    R4T12: Captain Odenkirk attacks his focused foe with all of his power. His axe goes clean through Little Guy Brown (that pushed Leonidas overboard) ... and the creature completely discorporates, its water running everywhere with a splash on deck before its remains disappear.

    R4T11: Saiden sees two fish-creatures, and two fish-men. One of them seems older and is out of reach. He casts a spell underwater on himself, to unkonwn effect.

    R4T9.1-9: One of the little guys (Yellow) sidesteps by the helm and then pushes Scathe overboard into the water. He hears underwater combat several feet to his south.

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

    R5T19.9:
    Kyr is desperate now, hovering and biting down at a fish-creature (Blue) for 8, this is enough for that fish-creature to go limp.

    R5T19.7: Leonidas, you are "disoriented", 5' underneath the surface, and the shock and cold means that you only managed to get half a gulp of air and not a full breath. You are being threatened by a fish-man with a trident. What do you do?

    R5T19.7: Not panicking at his current predicament, Leonidas rights himself. In doing so, the fish-man tries to stab him but Leonidas puts the big sword in the way and even sends out a clumsy counterattack. He then swims to the surface next to the dark bulk of the ship, getting a big gulp of air, continuing to keep an eye on the fish-man the whole time, and keeping his sword pointed at him to ward off attacks. Unfortunately, the one thing Leonidas realizes is that the only way he is getting up the ship is climbing with both hands. When he hurried to get what few things he could, he got his sword, but didn't have time to take and put on his sword baldric with sheath. Course, a well-placed lob might send his sword over the gunwale.

    R5T19.5: Ved goes all out, shouting. "I call upon the Dark Prince! I beseech you, Father, to purge our vessel of the taint of the small water elementals that infest it, and to grant me the ability to resist the purile magic of those who summoned them!"

    He then steps to the gunwale, looking down, and Leonidas senses arcane power from Ved actually boosting his own arcane power somehow. "Leonidas, I've boosted the raw power of your magic, if you want. Or, swim to me..." and here he lower an arm over the gunwale.

    R15T19.4: Saiden, you have a longsword in hand. You are "disoriented" but on the surface of the water ... Imogen's limp form directly below you keeping you from having sunk further. What do you do?

    For all intents and purposes, this is "prone" ... but when in water. All normal bonuses and penalties for being prone apply to being disorented, including needing a MA (provokes AOOs) to right yourself. Also, note if you want to climb back on the ship, you need two hands, and you got your sword but didn't take time to put on your baldric with sheath.

    R15T19.4: Saiden grits her teeth as pride burns through her face, having injured herself and allowed herself to get taken off her feet and sent into the water by some...thing. Worse yet, there were other things down here, and Imogen was almost done for.

    Though she need not utter a word for her most basic magic borne from her heritage, yet she does need to focus. She tries to get it and the fish-creature slams its nose into her left hand for 2, which Saiden ignores as she continues her wordless magic as she ducks aside from the fish-man's trdent. Finished her thought, Saiden's feet and legs seemed to melt together and form a fin that begins at the upper part of her hip, while some webbing appears between her fingers. Otherwise, she is completely naked - but as herself, yet with gills at the neck - from the waist up to her red hair. She notes that in this form, she is still a different type of fish-person than the ones that are part of this attack.

    Her form now far better suited to the aquatic environments, Saiden reaches out and grabs hold of Imogen. Still, even in this form Saiden is disoriented and will need to right herself next round before she can move. Also, she and Imogen both sink 5' deeper, though that is to her benefit, and she did manage to get a full breath of air going down. She might have most of the form of a merfolk to swim ... but her gills are only vestigial.

    R15T19.3: Scathe, you are 5' underwater and are disoriented - which is the aquatic version of prone (and all that implies). You have your sword in hand, and you see Saiden (topless) some distance to the north with a finned bottom like a fish, holding onto a limp Imogen, with other figures around her. To your south, a sailor in the water is being attacked by a fish-man.

    R5T19.3: Scathe reorients himself and swims up to the surface, next to the ship, regaining a breath of air.

    R5T19.2: Red sailor makes a large circuit to try to protect the archer and swings the belaying pin at the small water elemental, hitting it in what passes as a left shoulder(ish) for a whopping 9. Blue sailor rights himself, but not before getting stabbed in his left elbow by a trident for 4. He flops around underwater, sinking some as he tried to move too quickly. Green sailor repositions and shoots the water elemental center of mass with his shortbow for 3. Sailor brown gets up on deck and shoots at the water elemental, missing. Meanwhile the various sailors all about - on deck and in the water (those that can) - are calling out positions of themselves and of what enemies they can see.

    R5T19-18: Purple fish-man stabs at Saiden and amazingly misses. Brown fish-man stabs Leonidas in the groin for 8, keeping his whole body underswater just under Leonidas and to the side.

    R5T17: Kel takes a breath and sinks underwater, hitting Red fish-creature with her spiked chain for 14 NL, then again for 11 NL and it goes limp and begins to sink.

    R5T14.1-14: Green elemental tries to get away from Sailor red, who whumps against its watery mass ineffectually with his belaying pin. It circles around, moving past the archers, and then tries to push Red sailor back into the water. Meanwhile, a figure speeds aft along the port waterline to charge Leonidas, just catching his left hand for 3. Leonidas now has fish-men on each side of him, though not quite flanking due to depth separation.

    R5T12: Captain Odenkirk steps over to Little Yellow, eyeing him warily, and then descending his axe on it with a battle cry, and instantly discorporating it. He calls sailors up to make ready some lines for men overboard.

    R5T11: The spellcaster casts a spell underwater.

    Kyr flutters over and attacks the fish-man, hitting him with his beak for 5.

    R6T19.7: Leonidas tries to toss his falcata up on deck, but not before both fish-men attack him. The one to the south slams hard against Leo's magical protection, but the one to the north that just charged in manages to catch Leonidas in his left foot for 3. Worse, the falcata bounces against the outer part of the gunwale and drops in the water just out of Leonidas' reach, leaving Leonidas in darkness except for the indirect glow of the main deck's lanterns above, and the diminishing glow of the rapidly sinking sword below. Stunned, Leonidas rapidly ascends the side of the ship and gets over the gunwale onto the stern deck.

    R6T19.5: Ved keeps his arcane beacon running for himself and Leonidas. He steps over to Leonidas and casts a spell on the pirate, providing 10 healing.

    R6T19.4: Saiden, you are disoriented, holding Imogen. Before you will be able to move, you would have to right yourself (MA, provokes AOOs). What do you do?

    R6T19.4: Saiden reorients herself to both her aquatic environment and her new form, the fish-man missing her with his trident as she makes artistic twirls in the water with her precious cargo. Letting out a loud hiss (which lets out an unnecessary 4 extra rounds of her air), she brings her sword about the blue man threatening her, trying to re-enter scarlet einhander's stance from when she lost stance after the fall. Unfortunately, holding Imogen in her off-hand keeps her from properly activating that stance. She tries to use iron wake on the fish-man. While her strike hits the fish-man in the upper left thigh, but the aquatic medium and her choice of weapon do not properly activate the maneuver, so she only does 3 damage. With her new form, she is at least able to freely maintain depth without an action, even with Imogen's weight

    R6T19.3: Scathe launches his bastard sword up and over the gunwale and onto the deck of the ship. He then puts his shield on his back.

    R6T19.2: Red-sailor hits the elemental in the arm hard enough for it to discorporate, splash all over the deck, and then disappear. Green moves over, drops his bow, and picks up a bitter end to a rope. Brown moves over to then also take hold of the other side of the rope. They call down to the water, hoping that some friendlies (none seen on surface) are still alive. Another sailor appears aft and goes to the starboard gunwale as the captain points. Scathe sees a sailor looking down at him from above.

    R6T19-18: Purple fish-man pokes Saiden in the belly with a trident for 2.

    R6T17: Kel swims past a slowly-sinking fish-creature to engage Purple fish-man, hitting him in the right shoulder with her spiked chain and a small burst of energy for 16 NL.

    R6T14: Scathe gets hits by a trident for 7 as a fish-man just below the waves stabs him in the leg.

    R6T12: Captain Odenkirk doesn't even hesitate, jumping out 10' and splashing in the water.

    R6T11: The underwater spellcaster casts a spell, giving Purple fish-man 8 healing and 9 NL healing.

    End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

    Kyr gives a piteous cry that everyone on the deck can see as the raven explodes in a bloody red flash of light, its blood raining down on the sea underneath which there is great thrashing.

    R7T19.7: Leonidas looks for a discarded melee weapon. While he saw Scathe's bastard sword fly over the gunwale and back on the deck of the ship, Leo realizes that all enemies have been chased off the ship at this time. He goes to the starboard side and sees a mixed melee in the water, but thinks he sees a fish-man and blasts him the enemy combatant with a freezing ray for 3 cold.

    R7T19.5: Ved hisses at Leonidas. "My arcane beacon is not there for your to indulge in conservative cowardice, Leonidas! Use something that matters, dammit!"

    He maintains his arcane beacon and heads to the starboard side, then reaches over to get a hand on Scathe.

    R7T19.4: Saiden, you are holding a longsword in one hand, and Imogen tucked under your arm and holding her with the other. This foils any stance you would try. You are also still holding your breath underwater. What do you do?

    R7T19.4: Saiden narrowed her eyes as she understood that this was getting her nowhere. Beating at the water with her powerful fin, Saiden drew herself up to the surface with Imogen tucked under one arm, occupying that arm and hand. Realizing that she cannot cast a spell with her one free hand, she lets the sword go .... sinking into the depths. She casts her spell, but the fish-man threatening her stabs her in the lower arm that holds Imogen for 8. Her concentration isn't enough, and she loses the spell, doesn't heal Imogen, and now has no sword.

    R7T19.3: Scathe, your sword was tossed on deck, and your shield is at your back. Also, you have Ved holding down his hand, as well as a sailor holding down rope. What do you do?

    R7T19.3: Scathe reaches for the rope tossed down by one of the sailors and begins to climb, attempting to grab Ved's hand once it's within reach. He easily climbs up and onto the deck of the Frosthamar.

    R7T19.2: Red sailor steps up and smashes Purple elemental with the belaying pin, discorporating it. Green sailor calls down to Saiden, "Here take the rope!"

    Brown sailor shoots at Purple fish-man. Purple sailor picks up Scathe's sword and puts it in his hands. Blue sailor gets nicked by a trident (2), but swims to the surface and climbs up and over the gunwale onto the deck. Pink sailor comes up from below and goes to the forward section and shoots at Purple with his bow.

    R7T19-18: Purple fish-man gets Saiden in the thigh for 4. Brown fish-man repositions and stabs at the captain.

    R7T17: Kel concentrates, and then her features are suddenly hard to discern as her entire body seems to shake super-rapidly. She pops up to the surface and says, with a strange quality to her voice (as if someone were speaking right into a modern fan), "Saiden, take the rope. You aren't trained for aquatic combat. Kyr exploded, and that was a signal that Imogen died. Just let her go. We can't help her."

    R7T16: Red fish no longer is sinking, but floats to the surface of the water on its side, as does Blue fish.

    R7T14: Green fish-man adjusts to the surface of the water to flank the captain with the fish-man on the opposite side and 10' below. He still misses.

    R7T12: Captain Odenkirk ... under the surface of the water, swims just to the surface to take a breath and ruin the flank against him as he flails at a fish-man with his greataxe.

    R7T11-9: The fishman spellcaster begins to sing a song that is eerily beautiful, higher-pitched, and easily heard above and below the waves on the starboard side of the ship. He then swims to the mid-point of the two fighting groups in water. Yellow fish-man swims along the side to engage the captain, but misses.

    R8T19.7: “Shut ya’ frakkin pie hole, Ved!” sneers Leonidas. Leonidas’s fat merchant fingers form complex sigils as he chants in an archaic language. Blue flames flash down his arms as he splays his fingers wide. Arcing sprays of cold blue fire splash onto the merfolk below him in the sea. The smell of icy cold frost drifts on the sea. Brown takes 10 cold, and Green takes 4 cold. Leonidas does see, whether he would admit it or not, the power that Ved had given Leonidas' spell (+1 CL).

    R8T19.5: "Oh, Father of Lies," intones Ved, "grant me the power to destroy my enemies." He takes aim at Green, calling on some insight he gave himself previously. But the father does not hear with so many Mitran servants around, for this must be holy waters, as the unsettling movement of the ship has Ved slip back and shoot himself in the foot for 10.

    R8T19.4: Saiden, Kel just told you something upsetting. You look over and see a pool of dark blood and black feathers. Your sword is gone to the depths, and Imogen's limp form is in your off-hand. What do you do?

    R8T19.4: The Knight within Saiden did not want to abandon Imogen. Instead, that instinct and spirit wanted to slap away the advice and press on through injury and adversity, but her head knew better: the stupid warrior did not last long.

    Already disarmed, with no armor and in an environment to which she was unaccustomed and burdened by a corpse, Saiden knew she would not last much longer if she continued down this path. Though it pained her pride to do it, the red-head grit her teeth and slumped her left shoulder, allowing Imogen to float away on the surface of the ocean. With any luck, the fishmen would ignore her in favour of more pertinent threats.

    With that done, Saiden reached up and grabbed onto the rope. Her legs returning as she willed away the spell, Saiden moved up the rope and back onto the deck above, as she manages to just get out of the way of an incoming jab from a trident. Meanwhile, the sailors above grab her and help put her on deck.

    R8T19.3: Scathe picks up his sword and brings his shield from his back, readying it to continue combat.

    R8T19.2: Red and blue sailors delay, nursing significant wounds. Sailors green, pink, and brown all get bows ready again and shoot at Purple fish-man. A lucky shot grazes the fish-man for 1. Purple sailor shoots at Green fish-man. Two other sailors come up from each side, both going to port and looking over and calling back and forth with the other sailors to figure what's happening, including learning their captain is overboard off starboard aft.

    R8T19-18: Purple fish-man goes underwater to make it nigh impossible to shoot, pushing the floating fish creature out of the way. it looks iike it might have hit Kel to Saiden, but no blood means she is fine after all. Brown fish-man misses his flanking low attack against the captain.

    R8T17: Kel hits purple fish-man with her spiked chain for 9 NL before fulling submerging herself.

    R8T14: Green, who is more fish-woman than fish-man, misses her flank against the captain.

    R8T12: The captain continues to thrash in the water. He nails the fish-woman with his greataxe for 18.

    R8T11: The spellcaster underwater continues his haunting song, and casts a spell on himself.

    R8T9: Yellow fish-man stabs the captain with a trident for 4. The captain just shrugs that off.

    R9T19.7: Leonidas lashes out again with frosty fury at the attacking merfolk below. Green manages to duck aside partly and only takes 9 cold, and then the arc travels underwater to fully hit Brown for 6 cold.

    R9T19.5: Ved looks to Leonidas. "That's more like it."

    Ved shimmies on the thinner gunwale above the voidd to the middle hold to be more in line with the enemy spellcaster. Ved casts a spell on himself while looking angriliy at that spellcaster.

    R9T19.4: Disarmed and with no weapon about her to use, Saiden fell into a supporting role. Reaching out with her mystical bent, the Warlord reaches out to Leonaidas. In doing so, reaches her hip, and realizes that her spell component pouch is hanging next to her hammock .... and she has no ability to cast spells without it now.

    R9T19.3: Scathe holds his ground and readies his sword and shield.

    R9T19.2: Red sailor, badly wounded, goes below, as does blue sailor. The three forward sailors can't really attack effectively with a Purple fish-man underwater, but they keep that area covered just in case. Red-green returns to starboard, and he and Purple sailor shoot at Green fish-man. Another two sailors come to the gunwale with bows - one forward and one aft.

    R9T19-18: Purple soft crits Kel in the neck for 4 mod.

    R9T17: Kel hits Purple fish-man in the chest with a soft, glowing ding for 23 NL, knocking him unconscious as he drops trident and crossbow. She then swims past his slowly sinking form to confront the spellcaster.

    R9T14-9: The fight to the south continues. The captain smites green with a mighty blow, and green begins to sink, but Yellow gets into the place his friend was in to continue to flank the captain.

    End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

    R10T19.7: Snarling with cold fury, Leonidas gathers arcane power with gestures and word before cold blue light coalesces into a frozen ball in his hand. With a powerful throw, he launches the icy ball at his enemy, missing.

    R10T19.3: Worrying he might be waiting forever, Scathe makes way to his hammock to retrieve his crossbow. He is now at his hammock with sword in one hand and shield in another.

    R10T19.2: Red sailor in hold area grabs his bow, drops the belaying pin, and takes his quiver. Blue, whose bunk is on the aft end, does the same. Sailor Brown hits Yellow fish-man for 2. All of the blood gets to Green, who fouls his shot and steps back from the gunwale. Red-Brown just manages to hit Yellow for 5. Purple hits him for 4. Even another arrow hits Yellow for 5 as the sailors are getting some really lucky shots. More sailors will come up on deck (not shown, but with bows ready to move in if needed).

    R10T18: Underwater combat off the starboard bow.

    R1017-9: Disturbance of water off starboard beam as a battle is fought underneath, though the haunting music under the waves is still heard, muffled by air-to-water coupling of sound. Quite a bit of blood comes up from underwater to the starboard aft battle. Yellow, despite having been pelted by several sailors' arrows, keeps his position on the surface and stabs downward, some blood drifting up from where the captain was last seen.
