The Orchestra of Naval Combat

Boom! Duck! Clang Clang! Whiz! FIRE!!!! SWING US AROUND FOR ANOTHER BROADSIDE!  SHE'S HIT CAPTAIN! BANG BANG BANG! EXPLOSION! This goes on and on for twenty plus minutes as our heavy iron ship fought the wooden galleon, as one could expect they came out the loser in the altercation. It was a deafening symphony of explosions and screams (and more vomitting by me, my stomach does not respect battle at all). Honestly if I could write music I totally would have written some about the battle as it definately felt like a song should commerate the amount of noise.

It was of course for naught as long loud sea battle tend to be.  The galleon took a beating, but still had more than enough speed to get to the island and crash into it (how do you hit an island you say? Well be chased by a superior vessel and hitting land is better than hitting bottom). Telrrax was furious as you can expect, I was just happy to be getting to land, even if it meant chasing after a dangerous magic user, at least the island wasn't going to sway under my feet.  Well it was a modest hope it wouldn't alas... But you know the story next entry!
