A'ro will just run to the weapon and begin doing as he was told and shooting at the barons starting with those closes to the ship.

OOC:

Attack: 16 Damage: 27

Perception:  3

If Vivien does not see anyone left, she would hurry to the ballistas and assist A'ro with loading the next shot.

 A'ro you shot the Baron with the ballista as it falls to the sea, never to be seen again as you can see the tropes don't know what to do now and seems to be panicking about the situation as you see more survivors manage to made it on time on the ship and it's pretty cramp. "That's all of them Lyla! Tell whoever is in charge of the ship to set sail" Lieserl shouted at her as she tries her best to calm everyone down on the ship followed by Xan'drila as she gets on the ship.

You guys felt the ship is started to get sailing as you see the buff tabaxi guy, doing something on the ship and commands his crew to set sail to a destination. you left the island safely and you see the island is sinking to the bottom of the sea and a few survivors you saw from the other side of the island trying to make their way to the other side of the island. You've managed to escape the island, save some survivors from the island and now your heroes! You guys took a long and hard rest after experiencing a disaster first hand and your currently on the boat and headed to whatever destination is the closest to them. everyone on the ship seems exhausted from that experiencing and some kids are crying loudly as they are hungry and scared and the environment on the ships seems to be...miserable

Lieserl calls you Lyla and ask you to gather everyone to her. "Well... I've never seen an island sink before and there go my vacation..." She smiled herself and looks at your group. "Well you're heroes of Palma Flora and I would like everyone here to visit the Cobalt Archives in Port Damali for a small report on what happen to the island as one of my collogue is researching on natural disasters and need some witness!" She reply to the group and looking around the ship. "Everyone here seems to be down and I know what it is like to lost your home to a natural disaster and maybe you could try to cheer everyone up? I have to write a full report on this!" 

"That was a close one, thank you all... " says the elf when the island sink and she looks around the other surviving ships for the shark hunters. 

Xan'drila only nods to Lieserl when she asks for them to go to the Cobalt Archives in Port Damali. 

Then she goes to the children her Wolverines, and try to distract them by telling them histories, using images conjured by her magic as help. 

Lyla waves towards her new found companions, motioning them to come close. She exhales as they push away from the island, wearing a look of relief mixed with sadness.

"I agree, we should head to Port Damali." She remarks. "Something like this happening, in such a short amount of time? It's strange to put it simply. Not to mention the Port is close, and a safe place to have the refugees go. Crispin, A'ro, should we go speak to the Captwin about this?"

     “We can talk to the captain if you wish, for sure,” Crispin answers.  “But any captain Is going to have a destination in mind… a port of choice…  and would need convincing to change their mind.”

"We should be able to. With any luck, that is." Lyla scratches her chin, eyes glazing over briefly as she thinks. An idea seems to come to mind as she quickly adds, "If they need the deal to be sweetened, we can offer our assistance around the boat for free. Well, I was planning it anyways, but wouldn't speak for everyone. A gold reward will most likely be offered for escorting us to safety, along with provided information. Does that help at all?"

"If Port Damali is the closest it should be the logical captain's option. We do not have food ro water for a long journey with so many on board.." points Xan'drila.

Vivien frowns as she gazes out to the last of the island sinking into the sea thanks to sea monsters.  Deep inside she'd hope with all her being that there were no other stuck on that island hiding.  With the ship now setting sail to Port Damali, she'd speak aloud, "Well, my vacation has been cut-short...  and back home I go.  To the Cobalt Archives, hm?  Okay then, a familiar place."  She'd approach the rest of her companions.  "Thank you for your help, by the way.  You are brave, and strong individuals and are welcome to stay at my residence for a few days if need-be."

Lieserl lefts your group alone as she is busy helping the refuges in the ship and doing her reports whenever she has the time to do so. Xan'drila as you approach the children they seems to be very happy to see you and making small talks and it's pleasant enough to pass the time on board the ship as the refuges minding their own business and the crew is doing whatever best for them either by providing rations, emotional comfort and helping with their injuries. You can tell by the crew that they wear a Purple armband and each of them is unique to the ship.

A young woman, a hair for fire is playing a chess game with some of the refugees. A half-orc gazes out at the waves, as she smiles at a dolphin leaping through the ship’s wake. A young male elf with pale-green skin and watery eyes is speaking to a female human with red hair . A handsome, muscle-bound young man is flirting with one of the refugees.

You're on board on the ship for at least 1 to 2 days, heading to whatever direction the "Captain" is headed to and you can tell the journey would be long. you looked at the beautiful crystal blue sea and see dolphins swimming alongside the ship. @Lyla as you were admiring the view, you saw something in the waters lurking beneath the ship and it's huge and as if it's looking straight at you.

One of the crew approaches you Crispin and you recognize it's the healer boy that you've met and you remember that his white robes covered in blood but now it's a been cleaner but still the red is stained onto his clothes. "Thank you very much for saving everyone here and I've heard from the refuges said that you and your team manage to escort everyone safely to the ship... just a warning though, please don't fire that strange crossbow they think your the P word!" The young man nudges his eyebrows at you and realize you might get call out for that behaviour.

"Apologise...I'm Aurelio of the Wavecrashers, our ship and also act as a mobile home for us! If you realize half of the crew are teenagers, a bit young to handle the duties and it's an honour to met such a experiences 'sailor' " The boy smiled at you.

(Feel free to explore the whole ship, do whatever your character wants to do and Everyone is LEVEL 2)

Being on a boat for longer than an hour is a new experience for Lyla. Despite the disaster that forced them all into the situation, the Half-elf shows some eagerness at watching... well, everything about the sailing experience. So as she looks over the side of the boat, and sees something looking right back at her, she rubs her eyes.

She waves a hand out to her side, trying to catch the attention of a nearby crewmember or one of her new companions. Curiosity gets the better of her, though, as she leans over the side of the boat to try and get a better look at the creature. Perhaps even figure out what it is.

((Nature:6 ))

A’ro just stays on the weapons for a few until they are clear of danger and then proceeds to become just another passenger on the ship. He moves to the starboard side of the ship and finds a place to just stare for a moment out into the ocean closing his eyes and enjoying the breeze. A smile takes over his face as he embraces being on a ship again. When he feels ready after a few minutes he rejoins the others and just looks about as everyone tries to guess their next destination and Vivien offers her home to them. He just chuckles as Aurelio calls out Crispin so bluntly “If you need any help training anyone on handling the ship while we are aboard, I’ve been a sailor for about 18 years and worked my way through some various roles and ships. Crispin, I’m sure having some experience he would be willing to lend as well. We'd be happy to trade our experience for the ride.”

     "Aurelio, I am Crispen Barnaby," Crispin says with a nod of his head.  "It is good to see you again.  I'm not sure if we managed to get 'everyone' but we did what we could and hopefully saved some lives, eh?  But truly the credit should go to you and your shipmates!  Without this fine vessel we would all be swimming for our lives by now..."

     Crispin listens gravely to Aurelio's concern about his weapon and can't help but give a gentle chuckle.  "My friend, I understand where you are coming from.  I do.  But I assure you, if I need to use that weapon then I NEED to use that weapon," Crispin explains.  "And if that need arises, I think all will be glad I used it.  But yes, yes... Your concern is valid and noted. I shall keep my pistols properly put away and out of sight..."

     "Unless needed..." Crispin follows up, even as he rearranges his clothes so as to cover the pistols from casual view.

     "A'ro here is right though, if a couple extra pairs of hands would help the ship sail smoother then you shall have them!  After 18 years aboard ships, A'ro most certainly knows how to make the hard work seem easy!  I have a bit less experience but am happy to be trained up in whatever job someone can teach me..."

Vivien would spend most of her time at sea with the refugees playing games of chess as well as tinkering with her nail gun and helping with fixing-up the ship whenever something were to break with her carpenter's tools.   As evident from her time at the beach, Vivien always is one to do anything to keep her mind sharp and active, even during times of rest and break.

During this time, her mind did indeed get much sharper.  Through some experimenting, she would discover how to take a simple jug found upon the ship and transform it into an Alchemy Jug.  With the jug, she'd generate any drink for whatever a majority of the crew would ask for.  She would also purify any food or water she would find on the ship for safe consumption.  

Lyla as you take a very close look at the creature carefully, holding on the railings of the ship. you see this huge creature, bigger then the ship itself and it looks directly at you with it's golden eyes the same kind that looks like the giant pearl at the beach but it's way menacing then ever. looking back at the history books you've read this creature is either a giant squid, a some sort of sea creature you don't know exactly to pinpoint at and you felt a little sick the more you stare at it.

"Well you two can start by doing... whatever the ships needs! I'm not so good at this job and rather I'm better of tending the wounds of the refuges" Aurelio replied to both of the experiences sailors and extend his hands to any of the crewmates that needs help with the vessel. "And also the captain wants to invite everyone of you to a private dinner, she is very interested each one of you! so meet her around 7pm and present yourself nicely!" The boy replied to them and headed back to his duties.

Vivien you spend your time on your ship playing chess and tinkering whatever is in your hands. the jug you found is trash and broken but with a few tinkering tricks up to your sleeves and magically transform it into a Alchemy Jug with no problem. at first the people don't trust you for a moment until you pour into a cup and carefully explain what is it. "W-wait this jug you have one you is magic? never seen a magic jug pour out clean water!" The refuge replies to you and wanting to learn more of this strange thing you have created and looking at cup to see if it pour more of this strange liquid you gave them.

Vivien would smile, hydrating the refugees with her new magical jug and explaining its magical properties and the very detailed steps on how she came to the conclusion how to create something like this.  

...and it can make mayonnaise too!"   She finishes, looking around to the group of people to see if they were paying any attention at all to her droning about science and magic.  

Xan'drila spent some time entertaining the kids and then she goes to the forward bridge and stares at the ocean. She is still wearing the white, comfortable dress that she wore when the attack started but now she has a sword on her left hip. Despite the fights and dangers the dress looks impecable, not a stain on it, and the ocean breeze plays with her white hair as she stares at the horizon. Those around her can feel that the breeze is unusually colder for that time of the year but it doesn't seems to bother her. 

"So much for a vacation" she whispers to nowhere in special but if someone is close enough can hear her "Wait for me in Palma Flora he said... I will be there in just a few days he said... a little bit of vacation will do good to you he said..." despite her words she smirks and feel glad to be alive and to have been able to help so many. 

Some minutes later she nods to the captain's invitation for dinner and she says to Crispin and A'ro. 

"I honestly don't have any experience on boats but count with me if you need any help."

Lyla grips the railing of the boat tightly as she stares down at the giant creature. Pelartially because of how strange it is, and partially for concern for the ship. Finally, however, the nausea gets too much for her to handle, and she steps away. She approaches Vivien, and lightly taps her shoulder. 

"If you would not mind, I might need some water. The..." Lyla pauses, looking around at the refugees, before leaning in to whisper. "Something in the sea has me feeling off."

Vivien would look to her fellow half-elf over her shoulder and give her a smile and nod.  "Of course, there is still much left."  Vivien would pour a cup of fresh water and hand it to Lyla.  "Thank you for helping me back on the island, Lyla, was it?  If I may ask, what were you doing on Palma Flora?" She'd ask as she served another refugee.

"Thank you." Lyla takes the cup, then sips some of the water. "My colleague and I were sent to the island. For vacation, which seems to be a common trend. Going anywhere outside of Zadash is well... quite new to me, so it seemed like a fun field trip. It's good that we were there. There's more to the situation than I think we know. You're from the area, yes?"
