Callie found the deck a chaotic sight, sailors running aorund, pulling on lines and adjusting sails. She did not take long to spot the pirate ship trying to cut them off at a peninsula either. From what it looked like the "Sterling Silver" was trying to make a run, at least past the peninsula, to the supposed safety of a port.<br/><br/>Callie was no sailor but it did not look like the ship would make it. The pirate ship was smaller, but packed with people, and faster. Looking around she saw several long bows being readied for action by a few sailors, but they had the grim look of people facing death and going down fighting on their faces. Two more sailors were handling a small ballista at the aft deck, trying to guess the range of the pirate ship.
