The vessel is nearly snapped in two as a good portion of the crew is either killed outright or frozen solid. Those few survivors left begin jumping overboard, seeking to escape the sinking heap. You watch them do so dispassionately, supposing that you couldn’t expect much from a mere warmup. So, that was the sort of magic that a sorcerer of Morfis was capable of? You wondered where this man rated amongst the others of his kind. Perhaps you would find out soon enough.
“Lord Tristain, are you alright?” Alvin asks, running to your side. “You’re covered in blood. Am I safe to assume that most of it isn’t your own?”
>“You’d be safe, alright. I killed that loudmouth pirate captain myself. Along with several of his men. How’s the ship looking? Did you plug that hole?”“We made the necessary repairs. It’s not perfect, but it will at least make due until we reach Solis.” Alvin breathes a sigh of relief. “You said you killed Omar? That’s…I have to say I’m impressed. I’d only asked you to hold them off. But to think that you did all that. And without incurring a single casualty even.” He shakes his head in disbelief as he looks over at his men, who were letting loose a loud cheer. “I owe you a great debt, Lord Tristain. I pity the contenders that will find themselves facing you.”
>“No need for the lord part. Not yet, anyway. And I’m flattered, but I didn't do it alone.” You say with a grin, pointing towards Adeline. “She was of good use. I mean, she mostly just stood there, but that was all I really needed her to do. Oh, and there was that other girl. Where’d she…” You find the strange woman from before surrounded by a group of Alvin’s men. They’d boxed her in, preventing her escape. She was a tiny thing, especially next to those burly sailors, and she had the look of a trapped rat eagerly hoping to make its escape.
“Where’d you come from?! I ain’t seen you before?!” A sailor shouts.
“Hey, isn’t that my dagger?” Another accuses.
The woman shrieks as a third sailor rummages through her pockets. “And that’s my chocolate! I saved a fortune for that!”
>A): Intervene. >B): Leave the woman to Alvin and his men.>C): Write-in
