Not only was the pirate captain flamboyant, but she had a fabulous hat and a rakish scarlet sash that made her even easier to distinguish from her crew of cutthroats, criminals, and murderers. Unfortunately for them all, however, their luck was running out, and running fast.
Jack 's choice of magic to forestall the imminent boarding of the Blessing was a timely one. The crowd of pirates were an easy target for his ice, which sliced through them like… well. There were a slew of metaphors to choose from, but the result was that the air was filled with yells and screams of pain and red, red blood as a number of the pirates went down.
Then those screams turned to fear and panic as Flora called upon her father’s assistance and a flying demigod manifested in the gloaming. The raw power in Remi’s hands was more than enough to finish the damage that the Blessing’s ram had done to the pirate vessel, and the hull splintered swiftly in two as if the Lullaby had been cracking an egg for his breakfast.
Which made Koa ‘s decision to maintain his place at the wheel wiser than anyone else might have guessed. His piloting may not have been expert, but his strength at holding the tiller steady prevented the Hel’s Blessing from bucking into the choppy waters caused by the sudden sinking of the pirate vessel, and he was able to hold their ride steady enough for the rest of the Blessing’s crew to repel the few pirates who tried to jump over in a panic.
The pirate captain cast another bolt of lightning at the Blessing, but luckily for Koa her aim was spoiled by the sudden destruction of her ship, and the magic crackled harmlessly into the ocean beside the ship he steered.
The crew might have been too excited and ready to fight to hear Koa’s words, but Hadama caught them on the wind before he stretched his magic to help calm the waters around their own ship. Instead he turned his attention to the sinking halves of the enemy vessel his sharp gaze caught sight of several wretches who had been chained belowdecks, pressed into servitude aboard the pirate ship as galley slaves and deck swabbers. He dove forwards, cutting through the water as he turned his efforts to using his trident to slicing free the chains of the first man he reached and using the proximity of his StAer ring to keep two more nearby captives from drowning.
Remi’s blast combined with Jack’s magic and the general destruction of the shattered ship had done a number on the pirate crew. Many were killed outright from blasts of either ice or starfire, and others had been killed or knocked unconscious from falling spars or falling into the sucking vortex around the sinking ship. Only a handful remained alive in the water (including one woman in a very dashing hat), but with triangular fins converging on the battle it seemed unlikely that they would last long.
Remi’s assistance has definitely turned the tide! The pirate ship has been destroyed, and only a few crewmembers and their captives remain alive in the water. The sharks will arrive in one round. You decide who lives and who dies!
