<strong>GM NOTE:</strong><br/><br/>While the air around them is clouded by splinters and powder smoke, Doxie dances around the falling wood, avoiding being hit by almost being ethereal.  She stops at Curva's sacred feet.<br/><br/>Perhaps Curva found this annoying, for she was fighting to get out from under the heavy ropes.  Doxie, perhaps now wasn't the time to go around kissing Curva's feet!  But alas, many had probably tried to teach Doxie such things in the past without much success.<strong>Curva is tangled.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Thomas was also tangled in the same mess of ropes.</strong>It was horrible, going from one problem to another, but today was just going to be like that, I am sure.  Thomas looked around, trying to discern where his gear was, but he could not see it on the deck.  All of their personal belongings had been taken, he recalled, into the captain's cabin, which was only twenty feet away.  But who was shooting at them?  Well, Thomas couldn't rightly tell exactly who was shooting cannonballs at them because... there were nearly a dozen ships around theirs, swarming them.  And who inhabited these ships?  Why, it wasn't the living.  Thomas could see that the ships were helmed by a legion of the undead.<br/><br/><strong>Nessa was also entangled by the rigging of the ropes, but she was closer to the captain's cabin than Thomas or Curva.</strong><br/><br/>How had they come upon them so quickly?  How had none seen them until they struck?  These were mysteries that could not be resolved then and there, for Thomas had no way of knowing.<br/><br/><strong>Katarina</strong>was free to move about the vessel.  As she ran across the deck...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>KABOOM!</strong></span><br/><br/>... Another cannonball hit the side of the ship's hull, tilting the ship nearly 45 degrees.  Katarina had to fight in order to reach the captain's cabin, nearly hurtling herself through the door and into the room in order to avoid sliding across the deck.  When she arrived, she saw her personal belongings littered across the floor.<br/><br/><strong>Jassa</strong>followed after Katarina, but she was unable to make it into the cabin.  Jassa, when the boat pitches to starboard, you lose your footing.  Make a STR check of DC 12 in order to grab on to the door for the cabin.<br/><br/><strong>EVERYONE</strong>... the ship pitches violently to the starboard, and the sudden motion sends several sailors into the water, while others are holding fast to whatever they can in order to avoid a watery doom!  Those that are trapped in the rigging are actually safe, but Doxie needs to roll a strength check in order to hold on to something.  The DC check is DC 12.<br/>
