"A plan is made then," the captain announced. "You five will operate night watch, and we'll try not to wake you during the day, except for grub. Porse here steers the boat at night, so you'll get to spend plenty of time with one another."
"Great," Porse said sarcastically.

The nights passed without incident for two weeks. A boat sailing at night is boring, so much so that even when operating on a full-day's sleep, it's still a struggle to stay alert in the quiet night.
On the 15th night, things got a little interesting, as they sailed into dense fog. The fog just seemed to creep up from the ocean itself. "The Nine Hells!" Porse cursed, working with his two night-crew deck hands to close up all the sails. At curious looks, one of the deck hands explained that when you can't see, even out in the deep waters, there is a real risk to run aground, thanks to shifting mires.

Okay. So I am pausing here so you guys can plan out the ambush setup. See the map post below. what I would like to know is starting positions.[/sblock][sblock=Map]

G13 to H15: Open air to lower deck. This is a 7 foot drop without using the ladder. Used to load cargo. You can decide whether or not to run a cargo net over top of it. With a cargo net, it would be difficult terrain.
If you want to get it one of the boats or stand on top of the cannon, that's difficult terrain. But, you have the room to maneuver around these obstacles without penalizing movement speed.
