Now free, Curva helps Thomas to the captain's quarters, which is filled now with a cloud of cannonsmoke and wooden splinters.  They are followed by Jassa, who is quickly on their heels.  Once inside, Thomas peels off from Curva and Jassa, searching through the mess for his haversack.  He finally discovers it, but it is lodged between two planks.  He reaches for it, tugs it out, but to no avail.  It is stuck!<br/><br/>Thomas, please roll a strength check, DC 13, to remove the haversack.  Alternatively, you may use something, anything, to pry the boards apart, in order to move the floorboards enough to get enough purchase to remove the sack.<br/><br/>Outside, Doxie made preparations to launch the boat.  The boat, as it was, simply needed to be lowered to the water below.  Doxie figured that the boat could also, technically, be dropped to the water below, given the extreme diagonal pitch of the ship.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Nessa called Curva's attention to the card.  As Curva moved to obtain Nessa's attention, she too became overwhelmed by the card's power.  It pulled her, sought her, beckoned her, pleaded with her.  It begged to be free.  It wanted nothing but to...<br/><br/>As Curva stared at the case, Katarina, the more practical of the pair, began to search the case for traps.  She had scarcely finished before Curva broke the glass and held the card in her hand.  At first, nothing happened.<br/><br/>But then... then...<br/><br/>THE SHIP was pulled into the water by a whirlpool.  Around and around it went.  Sailors were flung off the ship as the ship suddenly began to spin wildly about, down, down, down.<br/><br/>Everyone in the captain's cabin was flung about the room, except for Curva, who stood prepossessed by the card, standing where she had stood before.  The only one in trouble was Doxie, who had been caught by a rope as she had been trying to free the lifeboat.  Perhaps it was good that she hadn't lowered the boat, because she was able to survive the ride to the ocean deep because she was able to slide under the lifeboat's seats.<br/><br/>Suddenly... the ship came to rest somewhere not on this earth, but in an alternate dimension, somewhere beyond the ken of man.  The ship lands on a crystalline field that lies in the shadows of an old castle.<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://cdn.homesthetics.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/ab9ca5b8c0c9528a3fffbac3e756657e.jpg)</div>
