The illumination of the fight was enough for Valspan to see by. What he saw was not amazingly fortuitous. Many bodies littered the deck, and Sin was barely holding her own against a dragon of considerable skill. In truth, Valspan wasn't a warrior, his natural strength and defense making most 'battles' one sided to the point of hilarity. With the meeting of Spectra, he knew there would be more around who could hurt him. Powers like the demon woman tended to move in packs, not in isolation.<br/><br/>But, Valspan was a positive guy, and despite his lack of battle experience in this form, he had at one time been a hardened warrior. A bandit, perhaps, but he knew how to strike when someone wasn't looking. The tree surged over the railing of the aft castle, seizing a pair of cannons from the deck and swinging them for the airborn reptile. He staggered the blows so that if the blow, the first an overhead strike, and the second a strike from behind to where the dragon would likely dodge. He couldn't move all that fast, but being smashed by a several hundred pound club of metal might slow the creature down enough to protect Sin.<br/><br/>The surprise would come if he missed the old captain, as the cannon's would switch directions in midair, Valspan strong and slow enough to mitigate the momentum if his own attack and switch directions must faster than would normally be possible. Essentially, he would begin to swipe with the pair of cannons in a flurry of blows that were slow, but getting hit would be devastating.
