"Secure the ship, aye aye," Rhamyr mutters. When did he become the captain again? Still, Westenberger seems otherwise occupied, so he starts by slamming the guard of his cutlass into the groin of the sailor who stabbed him, folding the man like a paper doll and crumpling him to the deck. The gnome lodges his blade in a nearby rail and quickly ties the Zhent, then looks about. Spying Elisia, he waves her over.
"'m not goin' belowdecks without some backup," he explains, his thick fingers swabbing out the barrel of his pistol and then reloading. "But we need t'make sure they're not up to anything down there." The pistol in his left hand, he yanks the cutlass free with his right.
Rhamyr's heading below, searching for hiding Zhents, medical supplies, weapons, and light but valuable loot...if it seems likely that there are slaves on board he'll also search for a hammer & chisel to deal with the manacles.
