It was chaos in the water. There was blood and floating dead bodies everywhere. There was something in the water that dragged the ones that were still alive underwater and then only parts of them came back to the surface. It was too dark and it was moving too fast for the people to see it clearly but it was certain that it was a beast of some sort and that it was not safe in the water. The slaves who panicky jumped overboard, thinking that that is their way to freedom, now were desperately truing to go back to the smoking ship and some were climbing using ropes that hung loose on one end in the water.<br/>On board the ship was no different. Athol was dead and there was a ten feet tall bird-like creature with a carapace and artifact armor that stood over his body. Around it there was light rising high in the sky and there was a snake and a bird made of essence that fought without end. Most of the crew and a few of the guards ran in fear to the other side of the ship, but there was another threat. One of their own was wielding a huge blade that moaned and screamed and cried like there were hundreds of tormented souls trapped inside it, and there actually were hundreds of souls captured inside the material the blade was made of. And she was cutting through everyone that stood in her way without breaking a sweat.<br/>The dragon-blooded captain was nowhere to be seen.<br/><br/>In all the commotion, nobody noticed the two ships that were swiftly gaining upon them. They would soon be in boarding distance.<br/><br/>OOC: everybody send me  their Join battle rolls.
