Sin was, surprised, that things actually seemed to be going rather smoothly. It even seemed her caution was justified as, despite initially sticking up for Yig, after explaining the situation even Thava seemed to understand.<br/><br/>No time to worry about all that though, it had begun. The minor fog covering was useful, to a degree, it certainly helped obscure their ship and made aiming at them difficult, though wasn't entirely subtle as open waters with one large cloud of fog on it, still stuck out.<img alt=";)" src="./images/smilies/wink.gif" title="Wink"/><br/><br/>It would appear things were going well, the vessel began to circle, the distraction was working, and none of them had even prepped the cannons yet.<br/><br/>Now, of course, was quite the important moment, Thava and Wiska surely had to be wondering exactly what would happen here. By all accounts it would be VERY easy for Sin to simply align her ship and open fire with a cannon barrage, destroying the helpless vessel's defenses and ridding herself of the interlopers at the same time. Indeed, it would be quite easy, and quite tempting.<br/><br/>She watched the action through a telescope, as best she could considering some of the visual obstructions.<br/><br/>She made her decision...<br/><br/>"Bringing her round! Ready cannons!" She called out as they began to come into range.<br/>"Fire Chainshot!!!" She called out. With that the sound of three cannons erupting simultaneously burst out as the devilish artillery raced for the other ships masts.<br/><br/>Chainshot is fairly simple, like a bola, two small cannonballs connected by a chain that you would fire in order to tangle up and destroy another ships rigging and masts, leaving them dead in the water. Luckily since these shots tended to be aimed high, the fighters on deck weren't in serious danger of being hit by the shot, though they would need to watch for debris from above depending on how successful the blasts were.<br/><br/>They should feel relieved that it seemed Sin decided not to get rid of them after all, for now, at least. She called up one of her crew to take the helm. "Keep to the bow or stern, I want the cannons at the ready, but don't fire unless I give the say so!" With that she waited until they made a close pass, then dove into the water herself to swim to and begin climbing up the side of the Hakaam vessel to get a more firsthand view of the action.
