Hold steady!" She commanded whilest sharply pulling the ships wheel, not seeming all too eager to fight the Kraken head on.<br/><br/>The Kraken swam forwards, approaching the ship steadily. And even whilest it's head was a good 40 ft away still, it's tendrils began coiling ever closer, reaching for Serra with wiggling inquisitiveness.<br/><br/>Meera flexed her muscles and tried her best in pulling the lost sailor on board, certainly managing to hold the ropes, until, with Seak's assistance, Serra was hoisted onboard! (Moving her onto the ship!), the squabble of Meera and Seak was commented by Rovana: "If ye got the time to shout about, shout at the bloody Kraken! Thing's almost upon us and I couldn't well speed up proper whilest ye hauled in this lil' mermaid!<br/><br/>Newcomer, I be Captain Rovana, ready yerself fer battle if ye know how! Ready the cannons, ready some magic.. oh and if someone could bloody keep those sails straight whilest I sail for shallow water that'd be just swell" Rovana shouted... only to break out in laughter.<br/><br/>"Harr harrr.. what are ye looking at ye prancing ninnies? Don't be afraid of a small one like this.. if it helps, Brownbeard trained his pet to capture, not kill womenfolk.. but ye don't want to know how it does that." Rovana hinted, ominously.<br/><br/><em>You are on your ship upon the open oceans, small waves surrounding you on all sides, a light rain leaving you wet, but not drenched. With the ship slowing down to pick up Serra, the Kraken is now a mere 50 ft away from you and it's coming closer.<br/><br/>It appears a total of 3 tentacles are reaching out for you and will be in melee range of the ship and you next turn. They approach melee range where allowed, can't take aoo's and are immune to morale and sensory effects (being just limbs and all that)<br/>They have an AC of 12 and need to be dealt 10 damage each to encourage the Kraken to retreat one of them. If they are not driven off by the next turn they will automatically 'attack' the nearest things. Like Naomi's booty.<br/><br/>Furthermore, stopping the tentacles will do little.. more are coming. Only a proper attack with the cannons (a flat dexterity check lacking a gunslingers-skillset) could slow the beasts pursuit.<br/><br/>Finally, Rovana is sailing into shallow waters and any profession: Sailor check made could help support her and prevent damage to the ship...<br/><br/>Or whatever else you can come up with to help the situation (not worshipping the Kraken.)</em>
