Because of the range and the partial cover provided by the water the accuracy of your attacks is very low. You suspect that only two sharks have been killed with a couple wounded. The best count you can get is 12 to 15 sharks near the surface. The chum launched from the catapult distracted some for a while, but did not get all of them away. Your strategists arrive on the quarterdeck, but they don't have a better solution for attacking the sharks. Chandar notes that if his men enter the water the sharks will come close enough to be engaged effectively, but casualties could be high. Grond suggests that the shark men will wait until dark to attack the boat in order to have the advantage of their superior vision. No one wants to enter the water, but it may be the only way to resolve the fight. Chandar says if some of the men enter the water he could perhaps lead a small party into the village, while the sharks and Sahaugin are fighting around the boat after dark, but it will mean splitting the forces and leaving the ship in some jeopardy.</blockquote>
