The party has stopped in their vaporous forms half a mile from the walls of the city.  The roar of battle rages all around below them.  "We should destroy the ships," Sheva says, her fierce gaze directed at the naval battle.  The wedge of ships fires a volley of great ballista bolts into the Chaos ships, and they look like they're heading in to ram as well.  Sailors are abandoning ship.  One of the Forinthian vessel shatters as huge tentacles abruptly heave out of the water and wrap around it with crushing force.A loud BANG in the distance announces the Valonian orcish vessels, their sunpowder cannons fully deployed.  They're fighting for Law in this battle- no doubt another of their attempts to become accepted as a civilized race.  The orcish ships are long and broad and deep, heavily plated with armor.  They're slow but strong and the sunpowder cannons have a better range than the more conventional catapults and ballistas firing from most of the ships.Sea monsters are clashing- Dagon's demonic servants attacking from below but finding themselves engaging an army of dolphins and merellin, a race of dolphinweres.  Both races- they are, after all, cousins- are known as the good guys of the sea.  And they have larger big brothers with them, too: several powerful whale sorcerers.  The sea seems to boil in places, to freeze in others; in some places it even burns with the oils of warfare and slaughter.Within the walls, Pesh City is undergoing multiple assaults- maybe by both sides.  It's hard to tell- the smoke is cloying.  There is one obvious major battle that Zeebo's got his eye on.  "I don't have any interest in fighting Forinthians," Horbin says.  "They serve my god... though not always in ways that serve the greater good.  They are sometimes blinded by the Law...""I want to attack the ships," Angelfire says."We'll split up," Lester says.  "Orbius, take my trump.  Go with Zeebo, and try to take control of that situation.  We can keep in touch through the trump."Sheva casts a spell to send a mental message to her imp, then tells Zeebo, "Habiskis should be joining you shortly over there."The entire party heads towards the food battle first- it's on the way to the ships- and then they split up for a brief while.Next Time:  Attack on the Flagship of Law!</blockquote>
