The sound of creaking timbers, now becomes audible over the cacophony of battle.   Lamps are being lit, and as they are, they begin to illuminate a large naval craft one segment at a time, until it becomes apparent that the ship has been extremely close for some time.       Gruff voices are heard from the deck, though the deck is so high that no one can be seen, and a huge anchor drops from the bow causing the calm, foggy water to heave violently around the smaller boats.     Jin casts an eye, quickly in the other direction, to the west, and swears that he catches a glimpse of their dwarven charge.  He’s lying tied up on floor of the boat off their own bow.     [sblock=Mechanics]J3 moves  I3,H2  Riardon: Readied Action: Melee Basic  Target: H2  Attack: <a

game, but in RL it's a pain.[/sblock]</blockquote>
