Raquel

Since she wasn't adept at speaking, Raquel was thoroughly confused when the girl hinted at being at least twice her age. That was the only thing that made sense to her. It didn't make sense in context but ... "Twice as old as me?" What she said next, though made her feel bad, but she didn't get to say why before Bogdan interjected.

"If they manage to board us, a gun just isn't going to cut it, you know." he said to the two of them.

"Well, she wants one and I'm not sure what to do, here. If one of the others were asking, I'd be less hesitant. She might be older than she looks, so I'm not sure if it's responsible of me to give her a weapon like that."

"She doesn't sound older than she looks." Bogdan noted.

Raquel quickly leaned forward toward the girl. "Do you know how to use a gun? What's your name?"

Fox

Once Kit had left, Fox returned his attention to the two galleons charging his now rapidly dissolving formation. They dealt a heavy blow to one of his galleons, but that was news he had to have relayed to him, as the line of ships on the northern end of the battlefield quickly began to obscure his view of the violent. "Annoying ..." he muttered to himself. He then turned to his helmsman and said. "Move the ship. I need to see this."

ENEMY PHASE

The message was quickly relayed to the other ships in the fleet. With their target ship trying to break through a weak spot in the left wing of the fleet's formation, the entire cage formation was abandoned in favor of a slow and deadly converging maneuver. Anything in their way was about to be violently swept aside ...

Grabacr was the first to arrive on the scene and flew low, swooping just below the guardrails of the Leverager's main deck and leaving quite a bit of turbulence in his wake. Raquel stumbled back, as well as a few others there. "READY THE BALLISTA!!!" Bogdan ordered. He then glanced at his helmsman who was crouching at the wheel fearfully. Simply lowering his profile wouldn't save him if the dragon decided to pick him off in a pass, but he had to do something and abandoning his post was out of the question.

Bogdan looked worried all of a sudden, though. "He's not attacking yet ..." He kept an eye on the dragon as it flew in tight circles around the ship. It was flying so low that his wings would strike the waves on occasion, and he would climb a bit to avoid slowing down and hitting the water. Then finally, Bogdan, after the third circle around his ship, figured out what was going on. "He's just circling us and ... the dragons and the eggs. That's why he's not attacking us. Damn. He's just staying out of range of the only ballista in the area!" he exclaimed in frustration. No other choice. "Keep moving forward! We don't have a choice. Keep sailing until we clear this blockade!"

"Aye, sir!" the helmsman nervously replied.

Below decks, things were overwhelmingly hectic as the crewmen scrambled around trying to figure out what was going on with the dragon flying in circles around them outside. Of course, someone inevitably had the bright idea to shoot the thing while it was in range of the cannons. They only needed a well timed shot ... sooo. "Shoot his face off!" And the cannon fired just as Grabacr passed, but the shot missed, and he put his belly toward the ship and snapped at one of the gun ports. That action violently removed a cannon from its gun port and injured the entire cannon team operating it.

"Tch ..." the doctor uttered as he shook his head and jogged over. He could already tell that without a magic healing the man was going to lose his entire leg.

"... okay let's not try that again." a gunner said to the others on the gun deck. Things had gotten surprisingly quieter after Grabacr tore out the cannon.

Meanwhile the captain of the Brandish was shocked to hear the fox woman's proposal. It was certainly preferable to dying in the next few minutes, but he was sworn to serve the city, not these rebels from the north. What he hadn't noticed thanks to her intervention was the Diligence rapidly approaching in the distance. It would only take them thirty more seconds to reach them, and then nothing could protect them from it or its powerful naval ram. "You bring a fleet and attack our fair city just to recover some stolen goods?! And you want us to help you after attacking innocent civilians?! Go to hell!"

His quartermaster quickly approached him and whispered into his ear. "Captain, we've seen the battlefield, sir and you know they have enough ships to take control of the entire port. Other battlegroups won't even know about this attack until tomorrow at the earliest. There's only six ships standing between them and the nobility. This situation isn't going to go in our favor no matter what happens."

"Speak your mind, dammit!"

"I think we should accept the offer ... at least for now. One ship isn't worth all of these lives. We can save the Brandish and wait for an opportunity to strike back."

Just then, the wind dragon, Ofnir, arrived and slashed an already damaged sloop with a wind blade during a high speed pass. The captain still wasn't humbled, even with the dragon taking shots at them.

"We won't be pawns in their little game, do you understand me?!" the captain shot back. The Diligence finally arrived, but it veered off to the right of the Brandish, and the captain spotted it. "How'd they sneak up on us?!" The earth mages aboard prepared to assist the ship as it plowed into the Courage at top speed. The ship was struck on its broadside, its gunners not realizing that they were about to be rammed until it was too late. The earth mages gave all of their effort to keep the enemy ship from being pushed away by the force of the impact, resulting in far more damage. The impact was so strong that the Diligence was able to keep moving forward as the decks crumbled. The Courage was broken in half by the time the Diligence lost its momentum. The captain was so humbled by the sight that his jaw dropped and he stumbled back. Not a single shot was fired and the Courage had been destroyed. The dragon hadn't even been involved.

"The Courage has been destroyed! They cut'em in half!" a spotter called out, needlessly.

"We're next, don't you see that?!" the quartermaster shouted, no longer trying to be quiet to keep the conversation private. Open protest seemed just fine at that point.

Despite the threat from above, the crewmen of the sloop focused on the Diligence and fired as many cannons as they could in its direction. Needless to say, at that range, they all hit, but the lack of damage brought either tears to their eyes or sweat to their brows as the Diligence got moving again without returning a single shot. The great attempt to avenge the Courage had left just a few dents on the Diligence's metal hull.

The clipper too made an attempt to destroy the Diligence before it could go after the Brandish, but its shots barely did much either, and while the Diligence was covered in dents, it was still sailing on the water and still threatening to take down the Brandish on a minute's notice.

The dragon approached the ship, and Katrina mentally prepared for another fiery nightmare. She was surprised when the large beast merely circled the ship close to the water. …What was he doing? “Um… So what’s the plan? It’s not even attacking.”

-----

Dragon. No, no, not again. At least it wasn’t attacking, instead merely ripping cannons off the ship. Well, that was bad too and had left several sailors injured. Dun Dun Dun! Time for healing, ect.

Synthia hurried over and applied her staff to the injured man’s leg, then to any other serious wounds taken by the sailors hit by the cannon and/or dragon. Yaaay magic.

Fred noticed the quieting down as one of the guns was torn out by the dragon. It seemed that either the awe of the dragon had caused everyone to become hushed up.

"Come on people! Keep firing!" he cried out, trying to motivate them to get back to work. "We can't likely hit that dragon without a full-on salvo, so we have to make him come down to us and get into our line of fire. See what shots we can line up on the enemy ship and BLAST THEM AWAY! Make that dragon come down so we can handle it with spears and arrows or a full salvo, not idle cannon shots!"

"So Captain~ Do you have an answer for me? If I don't call them off soon, I don't know what might happen... that little ship down there sure didn't seem to take too well to the Diligence' ram~" Kit chimed in, her voice ringing with whimsy.

"So choose quick, Mr. Captain~"

***********

It seems there was doubt, if only for her inability to speak properly.

"Never... learn... common... only know... what hear." She replied, hopefully the message getting through to an extent. It seems there was some more inquiry, she managed to discern it was about the gun, and following the current exchange, it was reasonable to assume that it was in regards to her ability to use it. Giving a nod in response and hoping that would sufficiently answer the asked question, she heard mention of names. It seemed to be asked as a question once again, so the likely response would be the name she kept recalling from the back of her mind.

"Lisandra."

Leverager: Main Deck

"Well that explains it," Raquel realized. So at least she wasn't a two year old in a preteen's body; there was apparently another reason she didn't know much common. "Okay, Lisandra, I'll find a gun for you to use to keep them away from you if we get boarded, but stay near the Dauntless, anyway. I'm not sure if it's the best place to make a final stand, but they can't really destroy it with small arms either." Raquel said, the latter part mostly to herself.

Leverager: Gun Deck

"We we're tryin' again, we'd better hurry ..." a sailor replied to Fred, feeling a little apprehensive about the idea.

"Again? Did you see what just happened?! We totally got shut down just now!" one of the crewmen cried out from halfway across the deck. "I mean he just tore out the cannon with his wrathdamn jaws! He could have sent a fireball in here, set off all the powder and we'd all be dead right now! If we can't take that thing out instantly, it's too damn risky! That dragon's a problem for the main deck, 'cause if we try to shoot that thing again and don't kill it, he'll vent an inferno into this place and blow up the entire deck!"

"Calm the hell down. We'll think of something." Lance interjected. "Still waiting for the Captain's orders, but I've got a feeling the ballista's not an option just yet."

"Huh ... good point. Why didn't it just ignite the powder to start? Why all the circles?" The doctor asked as he kept the injured sailor calm by holding his hand and keeping the other on his shoulder. He was glad Synthia was there. She could see to the man's leg while the other ... far less experienced healer tended to the other injuries. "Think it knows the little ones are aboard? Might be able to sense them, maybe."

Brandish: Main Deck

Defiance that would get them all killed in a minute or two, or cooperation that would only doom a few thieves at worst? Not the most difficult decision, but the captain was pretty bitter about the whole thing. These rebels were ruthless and he wasn't sure they would survive the battle regardless, but at least it would buy the fleet some time to think of a plan and buy the people some time to go into hiding. "... fine. The Brandish is at your command ... as long as you stop firing on the civilians and leave the city alone." he replied with his head down.

"A-and our ships! Leave the other patrol ships alone!" a crewman quickly and desperately pointed out, hoping that if they were fast enough they could save their remaining escort as well. It was just a couple of bad hits from going under as well.

Brandish joins the Rebel Fleet!

The dragon opted to just circle the ship. A wise move from his part, and kept at it other than tearing off a cannon when they attempted to fire at it. But it was clear it was not going to hurt the ship because the dragons and eggs were on board, and was not going to fly in the range of the ballista.

''Just as expected,'' John said. ''We stick to the plan,'' he answered Katrina. ''We only need to break through and the dragon isn't the only threat in the air. We just need to keep ensuring the ballista still stands to keep them at bay.''

-----

Of course Sophia hiding in the wagon came with the disadvantage of not being able to see what was going on. However, with the sudden movements it was evidence enough that something was going on already. Did she dared to look? Probably, probably not.

"I knew you seemed smart enough, Captain~ I'll tell the Diligence not to sink you... oh, but make sure you go after those two ships over there." Kit replied, with a curtsy, as she pointed towards the Dark Ukta and the Leverager.

"Make sure that they don't get away. And that one, the farther of the two? Make sure it isn't roughed up too badly, we need to get our stuff back from them. If you need to sink the other one, weelllll~ I guess it isn't all that important on it's own. You can tell your other ships that if they switch their target to those two and don't fire on us, well, we will have no reason to shoot you down." Kit finished, with another twirl.

********

It seemed that they had reached an understanding, to an extent. With a smile, Lisandra brandished her axe once again, with a heartfelt cry.

"Need... not hide."

'So this is how it feels to speak without pain. Now I need only learn.'

The Battle Continues: Dark Utka

"Open fire!" Filat commanded, and the Dark Utka's cannons opened fire on the enemy ships yet again. The volley was far less effective this time around, and Filat frowned. "Urgh. The ships are all getting closer to us, so they probably know who to shoot now. I'm worried; if we throw everything we've got into this and lose ..."

The Battle Continues: Leverager

"FIRE!!!" Bogdan ordered. The men down on the gun deck had to give up on the present argument and load up the cannons to fire. They weren't ready for the order at the time, so fewer of the guns went off in the first few seconds than they would have normally fired, and even fewer went off due to the Dark Utka drifting too close to the ship and blocking the view. That was when the incredible happened. Grabacr was unable to fly between the two ships and didn't see the Utka so close on the other side of the Leverager until he had already turned. He banked left to avoid crashing into the ship, but his right wing clipped the back of the ship and he lost control. Try as he did to recover, he was too low and tumbled into the water. As soon as Grabacr's head poked out of the waves, he spat out a large plume of fire and let out a shriek along with it.

"Hah ... hahah ... AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAHH!!!" the helmsman burst into laughter as he fell to his knees at the wheel. It was less humorous to Bogdan, who had to watch a dozen men aboard the Dark Utka trip and stumble all over the place from the impact.

Raquel was so shocked by the sight, that she didn't know what to make of it. The dragon began shrieking at the two ships over and over again and belching up flames while paddling on the surface. "Okay, let's go." she said, making her way over to the Dauntless and expecting Lisandra to follow.

The Battle Continues: Brandish

"Order the other ships to stand down before there's another incident!" the captain ordered before turning back to the playful ambassador of death. "If we are ... to be of assistance here, we'll need to make repairs, first ... that or on the way. The ship is badly damaged." The captain explained. While it did still have considerable firepower remaining, it was riddled with holes and its superstructure was just a few bad hits from crumbling.

The Brandish's spotters noticed that while the Diligence wasn't yet shooting at them or attempting to ram them, they were getting closer. "Captain! They're getting closer!"

"L-look, woman. Call those animals off unless they're going to help us with the repairs." he demanded.

In the end though, the ships had the last laugh as Grabacr's flight path proved to be his downfall, literally, as it plummeted into the ocean.

''Such a pitiful sight,'' John said. Gil grunted; well, at least chances were they didn't had to confront that dragon now.

"Those other ships of yours should have no problems flanking those two from behind while you do repairs, right~?" KIt asked, as she lifted a hand above her head. The hand sparking with rapidly growing dark energy, before shooting into the air above the ship, before busting out into the shape of a cross above the Brandish, Kit herself turning towards the Diligence, waving towards the approaching ship.

"So long as you cooperate, you should be safe so long as they don't completely miss my signal~"

*************

Well, that was good for now, with the dragon floundering in the water as it fell. If she had her gun at this point, at the very least she could have taken a pot shot at the beast, but as was, jumping in the water axe-drawn would most certainly end badly.

Following Raquel's lead, Lisandra entered the Dauntless behind the merchant.

So one dragon was down, but there was still one other to watch out for. John turned to see where it was when something else caught his attention.

''Look over there...'' He told the others. There was dark magic over one of the port ships. That wasn't a good sign. ''Anyone has an idea what could it be?''

-----

Seems people had come over to the Dauntless, and there were none other than Raquel and the girl.

''Oh, what brings you two here?'' Sophia asked them. ''I don't think it's to hide...''

As the battle against the Rebels began, Chelsea thought it might be a good idea to get inside, lest she be killed by the cannon-fire.

When inside the ship, the troubadour ran through the hallways of the Leverager in a panic, only to find an un-occupied room and duck in there. As she entered the room and closed the door behind her, Chesea took to a corner and breathed heavily. This lasted for awhile.

Sophia was there to greet Raquel as she and Lisandra arrived. "I'm here to give a gun to a child and hope for the best." Not saying it like that ... no way. "She wants a gun to protect herself in case we get boarded. I've got Chip, so I'm not as worried, but I think we're going to stay in or around here just the same." she explained in her own way. She looked to the shelves and saw the musket her father owned and figured that wasn't the best option. She pointed to a pistol, so she probably wanted a pistol. She reached over and grabbed the only pistol that was among the firearms and looked it over. It would function just fine, she figured as she looked it over. No dust, no damaged parts, no rust, and the inside of the barrel was clean enough for use. "Okay, hold this for a second while I find the other stuff you'll need."

Outside, the crewmen on the main deck stopped most of what they were doing and looked over the guardrails at the dragon swimming near the ships. The dragon swam away from the ships heading west, seeming to want to stay in the water for some reason. The men on the ballista were trying to find a way to shoot him with hit, but with the way things were currently, if they fired now, the dragon was far enough away to dive underwater and avoid it. One of them figured out that that was the point. While he was in the water, the ballista was useless. "Dammit! He's getting away!"

"Focus on that other group coming." Bogdan ordered as he turned his attention away from Grabacr. As soon as Grabacr was at a comfortable distance from the two ships, he began beating his wings down hard and slowly making his way out of the water. He quickly pointed his head straight downward and blasted the waves with an enormous fire attack that from the main deck of the Leverager looked like a cloud of fire that the dragon was lying on top of. Within a few seconds, the small boost left a plume of steam rising into the sky and Grabacr flew up high into the air, roaring the whole way up.

"... why couldn't it have just drowned? Ugh." muttered the helmsman.

The men down on the gun deck were having similar thoughts. And that's when Shadrak showed up. "Okay, what the hell is going on up here? We're not being boarded or something, are we?"

"Nah ... just lost a gun to that beast and got nothin' for it." a gunner clarified.

Back up on the main deck, one of the spotters called out. "Hey! We've got more friendlies! Three of'em!"

"Hmm?" Bogdan looked over the starboard side of the ship to see a fluyt and two sloops heading north as fast as the wind would take them, but one of the sloops seemed intent on escaping while another engaged the ships along with the fluyt and destroyed them. It was a spectacular sight, with entire decks exploding as barrels full of powder ignited. Men were sent flying overboard. Bogdan finally let a small grin of hope appear on his face. They still had some very powerful ships looming nearby, but they might just make it out of here alive.

Soon, the Dark Utka was under attack again, and this time it was a very effective one. The ship was bombarded by heavy cannons and incendiaries which resulted in a series of fires on the forecastle and main deck. The men scrambled to put the fires out while Bogdan watched fearfully from a distance. He felt helpless then and there. "Dammit ..."

Everyone Else

The Diligence saw the signal and began a more 'friendly' approach to the Brandish. If there were any people aboard capable of repairing the ship at sea, they would have been to work already, so the captain ordered his earth mages to do what they could to get the ship in working order again as they approached. The sloop accompanying the Brandish got a disturbing signal from the Brandish as well. They were to cease fire. The Clipper also got the same message and reluctantly entered the area without firing another shot.

The Diligence soon came up alongside the Brandish and they set up several planks for crewmen to cross over on. The mages considered the ship Fox's, so they couldn't care less about the mean looks they were getting.

"Mighty quick, aren't they ..." the captain noted angrily.

"At least they're helping us to repair the ship." the quartermaster shot back quickly and quietly. Suddenly, one of the mages intentionally bumped into the captain, nearly knocking him aside with her shoulder before turning around with a cocky grin.

"Watch where you're going!"

"Why don't you make me, captain? It is your ship, isn't it? Oh right, I forgot. It looks like you're just a pawn for the time being. Oops~" And with that, she walked off to catch up to the others. The captain was practically fuming by this point, but the quartermaster placed a hand on his shoulder saying "Let it go."

''Oh, so it was about the gun,'' Sophia said. ''She had grabbed one momentarily last time she was here,'' she quickly added.

-----

Whatever the dark magic was, it seems to have done it's work. But that was it. Both port and rebel fleets had gathered, but no actual warfare had happened between them. Then the thing had gotten clear...

<Looks like we really need to get going now...> John thought. Turning back his attention to their current area, Grabacr had managed to take into the skies once more, but was still far away. Meanwhile the rebel's own fliers had gotten near them now. The blockade had finally been breached, but the Utka had been set on fire beforehand. <Yeah, we have to...>

''Listen up,'' John said. ''Our job here is done, we need to head back to the ship, quick.'' He said before having Gil descend towards the deck and landed where he could, dismounted, and quickly headed towards the captain.

''Captain! Grave news, the fighting has stopped on the west.''

“Um…” Katrina spent a few more moments in the air, going over her options. Originally she was just going to fly back to port, but with enemy wyvern riders closing in, she might not make it back alone. The safest option for now would be to stay with this ship. She landed Volga on deck but didn’t dismount, in case the opportunity to leave presented itself again.

Bogdan continued to watch as the men aboard the Dark Utka fought to put out the fires before they caused any more damage, but it wasn't a quick process. When John landed, his team seemed to have an additional rider nearby. Talitha landed up on the crow's nest much to the surprise of the sailor watching the battle from up there. Mandy landed on the main deck right beside the Dauntless, and John's news could mean only one thing. "The rebels talked them down ..." He quickly turned to his helmsman and yelled "Get us through that gap as fast as possible!" He then flailed his arms to get the quartermaster's attention. "READY THE GUNS!!! ... just in case!" he ordered as he looked out to the patrol ship that had just pulled ahead of them. They couldn't block the view of any signals coming from the other ships; there were no obstructions now that it was ahead of them.

Fortunately he turned to see that the Dark Utka's fires had been contained, though there were still embers being beaten out with wet cloth. Filat kept the ship going despite the attack, and the Leverager only had to keep up.

"Hmm ..." Fox said as he observed to the east. "Unless we cripple the ship, they'll escape the blockade. I can't count on their marksmanship at that range ..." A man standing nearby waited to receive whatever orders Fox might have him relay to the other captains. "Those dragons are a long way from home either way ... the risk of destroying that ship or dealing insufficient damage is too high. Even Grabacr knew that. Tell all ships to hold their fire. Ready Spotter Seven and the Wolfen. This is far from over ..."

"Yes, sir!"

They've finally reached the breach, but now it was a matter of actually crossing through, considering they had rebel ships on both sides. And even so, there was the matter of being followed afterwards, though with the ramifications of the rebels having involved Tremere it was highly likely they wouldn't had the whole fleet after them, so it was a plus.... to them. Not so much for the port town.

So John walked back to where Gil was. ''Looks like we made it out of yet another tight spot huh,'' he said, taking off his helmet to put it away before leaning against the wyvern, who just grunted in reply. ''I suppose it could've been worse,'' he turned to see over to where the Utka was, which was now almost free from the fire. Further gazing made him see Katrina who had landed on the ship too.

<That's right, she got involved in this too. It was almost a given she wouldn't be able to head back to land,> he thought. <Well, what's done is done. I suppose sooner or later she'll find out why all this happened in the first place depending just how long she's gonna stay with us. I don't know if we're gonna be making stops at ports before reaching the north, it's perhaps too risky to do so close to Tremere at any rate. Well, I suppose doing something now will be for the best.> And with that he walked over.

''So, what are you going to do now?'' He asked her.

"To be honest, I don't know," Katrina replied. "I don't think I'll be able to fly back. Do you think the captain will mind if we hang around...?" She didn't want to impose, but under the circumstances she really had no choice. Hopefully Volga wouldn't do something they would regret later. For now, the wyvern seemed content to lounge on the deck.

''Heh, I don't think he will,'' John answered. ''The only concern would be if he suspected you of any connection with the rebels, but I doubt that may happen,'' At this he slightly glanced at Volga. ''Though be forewarned, we're not likely to stop at another port until at least Yoshimo. You're gonna be spending quite some time here unless you think you can fly to the nearest shore.''
