"Captain Chandar, can you an your Marnies set the deck up for a fight that gives you the advantage?" "We should also see to the rigging of laterns high in the mast to give us light to fight by as well as the quarterdeck and forcastle, let's elimnate some of their advantage of sight" "This will be a slow process gentlemen, a slow process but it is one I think we can win. Captain Chandar do you and Mr. Grond think you can use harpoons on the sharks so we can pull them closer, is it possible to lauch a harpoon from the ballista. If we hit we can pull it close tothe ship and kill it but we will need someone with great skill to man the ballista, do we have such a person on board?" "After the division have completed their work have half of each division stand down to rest, this  may be a long night for us all" "Master Grumbar, return to the galley and prepare what foods you can, I want the galley fires extinguised an hour after nightfall. Prepare to feed the men as best you can" While issuing the order, Michael will continue to pepper the sharks. As the ships close we will attempt the ballista trick, and once the shark has been harpooned, we will pull him close to the ship using block and tackle. Once close the division with long spears will stab him to death... OCC: Not the best plan i know, but Michael is unwilling to risk his crew at this point as they are as yet untried and unknown. Better to take a slow methodical approach and just wear them down.</blockquote>
