Mirrored Dream of Lightning let out a yelped curse as the boat swayed and water sprayed up over the ship. His stomach lurched and he felt his stomach curl into his throat and stay there. With a faint whine and his claws speared into the deck of the wood was the only reason why he honestly didn't go flying.
Beetle felt the ship lurch to one side, almost throwing her off the boat. "Aw, I can't believe I'm soaked!" she complained as she latched onto the side railing, preventing her from falling off.
Sarlypsis feels the force of the waves right through the ship, getting thrown towards the railing and trying to grab on it as she falls from the ship. "Help! I'm slipp-" She can't finish the sentence, as the sea hits her against the boat, swallowing her whole and making her lose her grip.

I a flash of lighting Mouse felt the boat sway sharply as he felt his feet slip out from underneath him, quick as a flash Mouse had his dagger out and jammed securely into the mast where he was standing. After a bit of a struggle he pulled him self back up and hugged the mast and jabbed his dagger back into the mast for support. Looking down he saw Sarlypsis be washed off the edge of the boat. Knowing he didn't have the strength to try save her, he clung tightly thinking of a way to get them out of this situation.
Suddenly, two kobolds burst out of the hold of the ship, and scramble towards the dragonborn captain, as the kobold in the crows nest dives from the ship. After a few seconds, they come running towards Beetle, dragging her off the ship. The captain draws her sword, cutting the rope of the remaining kobold, who is now frantically trying to untie it. The captain yells out to abandon ship as she picks up Mouse and runs towards the side of the ship, and the kobold who is now wearing a rope belt tries to tear Mirrored Dream from the deck of the ship. After a few moments, the Tabaxi sees why - a strange sea-green-ish fire seems to be seeping out of the hold, and the rain seems to be empowering the flame, rather than diminishing it. It's likely only a matter of seconds before the whole ship is on fire.

Mirrored Dream of Lightning squeaks in surprise at the strange fire. He took a second, debated diving into the water versus burning to death, and with a breath to steel himself he released his claws from the decking of the ship and launched himself overboard. Wet fur sucked but it was much preferable to singed fur and being dead. He could dry off, maybe, down the line.
"Lifeboat?" Mirrored Dream of Lightning cried out, because drowning was not on his list of things to do today.
Mirrored Dream of Lightning lit up in happiness at the sight of what could feasibly be a raft. He swam as best he could with wet fur dragging him down over to the driftwood and pulled himself up with a sigh and a heaving breath.
"Thank you, Beetle!" Mirrored Dream of Lightning shot the elf a toothy grin. "Now I will not drown! Tabaxi and water...not friends!"
Sarlypsis floats away, miraculously facing upwards in a semi-concious state. Suddenly, a flash of light wakes her up. "Wh-" She realices her situation quickly, and tries not to gargle too much water. "HELP!" She shouts, trying to swim towards Beetle and Dream.

"The Deschaineux was equipped with casks of seafire as a weapon. One of the kobolds mustn't have tied it up properly, so it was knocked over by the wave. The rain is just making the problem worse, since water is the primary fuel source for seafire."
The kobolds swim around like rats, finding more driftwood for everyone to hang on to.

Mirrored Dream of Lightning had a sudden thought of rope! He dug around in his pack, hunting for the rope he knew he had. He had to have rope, right? Yes, there is rope! Quickly, and carefully so as not to upset his balance, Mirrored Dream of Lightning tied the rope into a lasso. He judged the distance for Austali, swing the rope around, and threw.
"Grab the rope!" Mirrored Dream of Lightning called. Mirrored Dream of Lightning turned toward Beetle, seriously. "Grab driftwood, Beetle. I might be pulled away."
Everyone manages to make their way to the makeshift raft, just as a wave comes along that would have otherwise separated any individuals. Night comes, and your exhaustion thanks to the recent events has you all collapse, unconscious.
At noon the next day, you wake up on the beach of what is clearly an island.
Standing atop a rocky crag at the northernmost tip of the island, facing northwest, is a thirty-foot-tall stone statue of a turtle-like humanoid with a large stone horn held up to its mouth. Below the monument is a stretch of sandy beach covered with shells. Black, moss-covered rocks jut from the water like teeth worn down by time. Just beyond these “teeth” are several barnacle-covered shipwrecks.
It is low tide, and you find yourselves on the aforementioned beach, and you can see the remnants of the Deschaineux among the six older shipwrecks.

Mirrored Dream of Lightning squints as the light burns into his eyelids. His head pounds--dehydration plus seawater plus the insanity of essentially a shipwreck led to one hell of a migraine--and he's got sand in his mouth. With a whine Mirrored Dream of Lightning flung an arm over his eyes and spat out sand. He pushed himself upward and fumbled for his pack. He still had his pack, right? Water would be helpful now. With a sigh he found his equipment back and quickly started to take sips.
Ah, glorious water. He wiped at his mouth and squinted along the sand beaches.
"Are you guys alive?" Mirrored Dream of Lightning rasped from his position in the sand.

Looking around, Beetle managed to spot a rather large piece of driftwood. "Dream! Over here!" Beetle tried to get the Tabaxi's attention.
