All but Mouse manage to stop the orbs but the last one scrapes along the side of the boat, bending and braking the metal! Another wave comes rolling in but Captain Kain pulls a lever and the ship lurches forward and out of the vortex! As the boat rockets away from the orbs a sigh of relief can be heard from the school students and staff!
"Still alive!" Mouse called out to anyone as he peeled himself off the deck of the ship, he'd shifted back in to his normal features again. He had tried to divert his orb out of the way like the others. But, he didn't have the strength required, and ended up being knocked off his feet by the impact of the orb against the ship.
In all the ruckus his pack had slid away from where he left it. He rushes over to it to check on Rat, clicking his tongue in his usual manner of calling his tiny friend. "Rat made it too." He said to no one really, as Rat came scurrying out of his pack and across the deck for Mouse to scoop up. "I know that can't have been fun for you buddy. But it would have been worse had i kept you in my pocket and fell out of the boat."
He deposits Rat into his usual coat pocket before focusing his attention towards Cain. "How about the boat Captain? Will she make it the rest of the way without any trouble?"
"Um Where is Sam? Oh! Their she is. Sorry, your just short. We are all accounted for!" The Headmaster yells as he wrings out his beard.
Jason scoops up his broom and quickly starts to check for damage!
Captain Kain begins to unfurl the sail and says "We should be able to go on as long we don't take to many more hits... we were lucky. Now what was all those orbs about? Who was that from?"
"Hav'nt seen anythin' faintly close to those orbs before. Nasty buggers. Anyone ever seen that flying ship before? We don't get much technology out in the swamp."

"I hope we do." Mouse says absentmindedly, staring off in the direction the flying contraption went in. "The people that did the spilling! Not the orbs!" He added quickly, his attention snapping back to present company.
"It was rough, but we're all still accounted for. That's something." He couldn't say exactly what it was that had put the thought into his head, but, "If i had to put a gold coin down on it, I'd bet it was the Archmage's team!" He slammed a slender fist down into a slender palm.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. It was one thing to try and complicate their path in competition. But they could have been killed! Where would they be if this old boat hadn't been just tough enough?
"Who else but the royal arm, has the resources for something like that? I didnt like the way the old man waved at me.." Mouse paced back in forth on the deck as his mind ran through the likely possibilities.
None of you recognize the soft voice that just spoke and look around for its source.
"Their wasn't any magic coming of of them." You realize the voice is coming from the girl behind the book! You recall her name is Mary. She's currently pointing her wand at her book and using magic to dry it.
"So perhaps it was divine magic." Says one twin. "Or maybe a feat of engineering!" Says the other.
"What ever they were their ahead of us now." The captain shouts as the boat creaks along!
OOC: Got nothing planned in till the next day so you can roleplay a bit or just fall asleep till the morn!
Mouse mutters to himself while gathering his things and finding a space to rest. It had been a lot of action in a very short amount of time. There was nothing left to do but get to their destination.
Using his pack as a pillow, he pulls his hood over his head and closes his eyes.
It's been quite a day for Matilda, more excitement that a few year at the swamp in one day! Before she goes to bed she will review the sketch she took of the lion and practice a wild shape into a lion. (DM rule on if this requires a roll).
Regardless if it is successful or not, Matilda stretches (either as a lion or Matilda) and hunkers down to rest.

I'm not dead and i'm still here. I'm sorry about the hiatus! I will try to get back on a regular update schedule!

"Nobody dead?" Kain asks from the front.
"That was excitin'! I haven't had that much stress since granny fell off her rocker next to the acid pool. Matilda still standin'!

Guhner shakes his head. "Sadly, no. I mean we don't want us to die, but if the other teams are gone ... well that's too bad."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
"I am un injured if a bit shaken."

Guhner is going to fall asleep. "I'll be here if anyone needs me."

Jack will meditate then go to sleep
