Winterstorm345:
The deck was controlled Chaos, everywhere sailors made ready for battle. Packs and spare food barrels were tucked away, crews ran up from below with ammunition, the Ballistae were strung.
Tharos observed all from his from the Caelin’s deck. Inside he mentally prepared himself for battle. Drawing on his reserves of power, he began to flex his fingers.
Mariner strode up onto deck, taking in the scene. He drew his longsword, stalking the deck as he looked at the Northern Ships. He abruptly stopped as he saw the ship on the port side winding up their Ballistae.
“BRACE” he yelled as he leaned against the mast, but the shots went low. So they seemed at least, the shots plunged into the water, right as a mass of tentacles burst towards the sky.
One of the tentacles reached down plucking a sailor off the deck. Dragging them below the waves.
More shots loosed, the chaos took on a quality beyond control as the giant squid set upon the ship.
Tharos’ eyes widen and he instinctively looses a whiplash of flame at the nearest tentacle. It recoiled in pain, moving away from the front of the ship.
“CUT THEM, CUT THEM!” Mariner called running towards the starboard side. He gripped his sword with both hands, delivering a vicious slash, before going to dart to the next one. Not even pausing to check the damage as he went.
Further away, the Northern ships pulled away, trying to escape the wrath of the Thauin. Loosing shots into the squid from a safe distance.
Mako rushed around, trying to avoid being swiped by the tentacles until, a massive tendril smashed into him, sending him careening off the ship.Again? Again. Once again, he had been pulled underneath by the sea.
