As the Esmeralda started off course and heading for the rain in hopes of getting into an advantageous position against a possible pirate attack, the sailor named Nora led the two spellcasters belowdeck and procured two sets of the plain garb and trousers all the sailors were wearing. The dark pants and white shirt came in several sizes, and the female sailors usually strapped their breasts down or wore a heavier leather bustier because the fabric when turning wet stuck to a persons skin and became semi transparent. Not that she didn't enjoy a bit of attention, but she had no intentions of a dozen man staring at her distracted instead of doing their work.<br/>Of course the more well-endowed ladies might have trouble finding a bustier their size, so they were  to come up with their own solutions or draw plenty of approving looks once they get soaked in the rain.<br/><br/>Based on what she could  tell, Thalya expected the wind to die down eventually, and the rain to intensify for a few hours. A storm was not in question, but a heavy warm shower was very likely if the ship stayed under the rainclouds.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sailor's Uniform</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderTales/PZO8500-CorvineGale.jpg)</div></div><br/><br/>Once the Esmeralda reached the rainy area and sent out the barrels to slow down the advance of the other ship, the crew carried out their orders and turned to Alyssa again.<br/>"What now Capt'n? We wait?"<br/><br/>There would be a few more hours before the other ship reached them, and if the weather didn't change, the Esmeralda even had a shot in hiding and escaping.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Hiding and escaping or getting ready to fight?</div><div class="spoiler_body">This would require a dexterity (stealth) check with the ship. Of course if you wish to wait for the other ship and engage when they get close, no need for such measures. We can skip ahead or you can roleplay a few hours of preparation/downtime.</div></div>
