				Its been a few days and you have had time to get ready (buy what you need), and meet at the Sea Stallion flagship of the fleet to drop off the colonists, you will share a cabin with another person. And the woman in the party gets her won room since she is a woman. You will eat at the Captains table the experienced seawoman Morgan Charbone' a master fighter who can really fill out her leather armor and she's around forty. Doesn't look it.&nbsp; ;)<br><br>Her long red hair is as firery as her temper in the heat of battle its said. Other than that there is a Lilim Moonbraid and her lover a pretty 200-year old mortal Claudia.<br><br>The crew is professional, well-trained and all hardened seamen and seawomen, and fighters some marines and others more like the halfling in the party sometimes stealth is useful and there a few magic-users and clerics kept for magical support.<br><br>The other ships are less able but are traveling in a fleet with a Sea Dragon who swims among the ships to protect them, is a Lilim pet like a guard dog but ,errrr, a dragon.

				The one constant of the passage is that Happy isn't: the plucky little Thief spends much of his voyage by the rail, clutching miserably at the wood and bemoaning his fate.&nbsp; He even skips dinner on a regular basis, always politely excusing himself (which is in itself a bad, bad sign) without leering at the Lilim, her companion, the Captain, or the Maga...

				Horatio finds himself walking the deck around the vessel. he'd found the first few hours a bit difficult, but he was now taking deep vbreaths and rather enjoying the fresh sea winds upon his face. The ships captain was a fascinating woman, as were many others in the crew. Already he was glad to have signed up. He knew this was going to be both an exciting and rewarding adventure. <br><br>He leaned on the railing close to Happy and he smiled down... "Taste that crisp and fresh sea air my little friend... Is it not invigurating...?" he asked facing towards the front of the ship...

				JonTom spends the time at sea walking about the deck topside, offering his strength to assist the members of the crew when he can, learning the basics of operating the ship, his feeling that one can never be too prepared for anything.<br><br>The lovely mage spends most of her time in her cabin, studying a few scraps of parchment she had managed to purchase with the funds provided, ones that she would otherwise have not been able to aquire for some time were it not for the generosity of her employer.&nbsp; She does take breaks for food and the occasional walk though except in her room and at the captains table her hood is pulled up tight around her face.

				"Yes," Happy responds with dry and grim humor.&nbsp; "Invigorating.&nbsp; Quite."<br><br>And then the little fellow leans over the rail again...

				The captain looks over the side and orders all hands to quarters as the fighting ships of the fleet are signaled as the fleet takes up a battle formation to protect the lightly defended merchant ships. The Sea Dragon flies out of the water riddled with harpoons and all have bonelike and skull designs...<br><br>"Undead warships prepare to engage, clerics stand ready, switch ranged combat to slings now, fire only at the skeletons, all hands ready blades and clubs, blades on zombies they will come in the second wave, shiled wall forward.," a wall of men with large shields form a wall facing the water with the other fighters in the middle.<br><br>The captain takes her breastplate and puts it on and takes up a shield and long sword. Flanking her are four sailors also well armed. Below the ships healers get tables ready,

				Following the halflings gaze Horatio spotted the large forms, and a look of concern came across his features... <br><br>He quickly moved behind the shield wall, suggested the others do likewise. He prepares his own shield and feels to make sure his mace was handily slung at his belt. Then he readies his holy symbol. A feeling of slight fear and excitement come over him as he watches the men and crew aboard the vessel prepare for the coming battle...

				JonTom reacts quickly, his shieldand the sword he had been given at the ready, moving to cover the lady mage as she watches and readies herself as well, not expecting to be a great deal of help but willing to do what she can.

				Six black warships with the infameous balck banners with the skull and bleeding dagger wreatherd in fire fly out of the water smaller than the ships in the fleet. But with crews that mostly don't need food or water or to sleep that can hold many fighting forces. On the deck of each is a leathery skinned creature in black leather and with red shining eyes the feared Undead Captains who command each vessel. Catapulst on each deck fires something and suddenly boney round things fly onto each ship rolling bouncing off the shield walls and out come two foot tall fast moving undead the Ratlings they were once well rats, as mortals they were humanoid but the dark forces turned them into Dark Ratlings a creature of the undead. Drawing large knives they use as swords and little shields they have on light armor. <br><br>Twenty are on the command ship the others seem to have ten each. They bare fangs dripping with death leap around several feet at a time. <br><br>Roll initiative...

				Most of little undead start springing onto the ropes droppong their shields and climbing after the vulnerable sailors on the masts, not very quickly so there is time to protect them. A volley of sling bullets hits two and brings them down.<br><br>The Lilim on board was busy healing the sea dragon and now recovered it takes to the sea, now that the ships are surfaced it is much more likely to attack successfully.<br><br>The two undead ships pull close and drop planks and skeletons head over to the ship on two sides. To be met by a hail of sling bullets, a few thrown clubs and hammers and a dragon popping out of the water smashing two planks to the ship on the left before retreating to the sea. Its long neck driving to the sea a dozen skeletons.<br><br>Two black figures directing the attack from each of the ships.
