[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5931088, member: 75065"] As pirates fall beneath Sabynha's blade towards the fallen Themes, she opens up a path for Rain to surge in behind her, slashing through enemies along the way. Sabynha's magic pulls Themes away from the edge of death, sealing the worst of the wounds he has suffered. Just as he stirs and the Junk Captain looms over him, fury at his defeat burning in his eyes, Rain manages to get just close enough to lay her protective Aegis upon his mind, offering her fallen companion a moment of distraction and a glimmer of hope staring in the face of a bloody vengeance. Zuri meanwhile scoops one of the prisoners beneath her arm and swings him back to the safety of the Dolphin where he collapses. Relentless she swings back, freeing the knot of the second prisoner with the twist of her able fingers as Wat moves along the edge of the Dolphin to unleash a blast of divine wind that decimates the remaining pirate crew and batters at the structure of the tower protecting the Shugenja. Just as Zuri is about to swing the second prisoner to safety, oblivious to what is going on behind her, the junk's cook suddenly appears from the stairs, charging with a bloody meat cleaver aimed at her head. Wat raises his hand and a sudden wind picks up the surprised man and flings him overboard with a splash. Zuri swings the prisoner to safety unmolested. Kartuus unleashes his own dark magic upon the shugenja tower which buckles but holds. He stirs the crew to action with a command. One of the sailor's strikes at the rope with his blade, cutting all the way through and freeing the Dolphin from the grappling hook that held it. The battle lost and with water pouring aboard the junk, the shugenja decides enough is enough. However, seeing his captain about to be outnumbered two to one he decides to even the odds. Rain suddenly feels her head explode with stars leaving her unable to properly defend her fallen comrade. The shugenja then drops from out of sight, disappearing into some inner entrance that must head into the flooded interior of the junk. The Junk Capian seeing a fleeting chance for revenge, bellows: [COLOR="Teal"]"You and your people chose the wrong side in this affair, Lah'nun! Death to all who defy the Yakuza! See you at the bottom of the Locker"![/COLOR] His deadly blades flash out towards the vulnerable genasi pirate, and Death rubs her cold hands awaiting to see if she will have another soul to take with her to the Shadow Realms. His blade descends but luck is on Theme's side. The strike too hurried, merely cuts into muscle and not vitals. The second blade descends whistling with death but the luck of the Lah'nun holds, the blade instead splintering wood next to Themes' neck and not his soft flesh. With a growl of frustration, the Junk Captain takes two steps back and leaps over board into the water, reappearing a good distance from the ship and swimming for his life alongside the cook and three other sailors, headed towards the other Yakuza junk that limps its way towards the action. Only our heroes and the dying prisoner remain on deck of the junk, but water continues to pour in, and if they do not leave and get the Dolphin away from the sinking boat it could spell disaster.
