The warship wades in, weapons firing, but they know they're outgunned. Martel can see that the enemy ship is, in fact, crewed by monsters; what looks like a crew of hobgoblins, to be precise. As they close the gap between their ships, the enemy warship suddenly swings, hard, and attempts to ram the Truewind, hoping to both knock a hole in her, and open up the melee engagement quickly, their crew armed to the teeth; obviously, more than a few trained soldiers.
