Silvermoon:
The storm grows in intensity, and everyone is occupied in the desperate fight to keep the ship afloat. So great is the effort that no one notices the tremendous whirlpool ahead until there is a great jerk, and the ship tilts, beginning to spiral downwards towards the center of the vortex.
The door was not broken.

*Granite gives a great howl of warning.*
"Grab on t' somethin' lads! 'Tis goin' to be a bumpy ride!" he yells, and then takes a fortifying swig of ale. "Rana! 'Elp me git Louella!" he hollers, diving belowdecks to unhitch his faithful mule before the vortex can destroy the ship. No ship will survive that without supernatural assistance, something Granite is ill-equiped to give. Hopefully the empty barrels, if tied to Louella's harness, will allow her to float if the ship sinks.

“By all...”
Silvermoon cannot even finish her sentence as the ship suddenly spirals downwards. She tries to move further inside a few steps and hold on to something, while Skreg holds on to her, tearing slightly into the flesh of her arm with his claws.

The ship heaves mightily as the vortex sucks it downwards; with a sudden jolt, the bow tips far forward, and the entire vessel plunges beneath the waves. The spray and wind have extinguished all lights, so it takes a moment to realize that the ship is someho not submerged; by the roaring noise, it seems to be rushing down some kind of subterranean river.
"By Moradin's Beard! What sorcerery is this?" Granite demands, as the sounds of the storm outside changes, and the ship tilts at a crazy angle. Granite expected the ship to be battered to bits by now.

Because she can't see what happens out there, Silvermoon prepares herself for the moment, that the water comes in. She still has a spell prepared, which should allow herself and Skreg to survive underwater, if they would stay close enough together... for some minutes at least, hopefully enough to get back to the surface.
Moments pass, until she realizes, that the ship does not sink anymore, it seems to have taken a steady, though quite fast course somehow. And the storm seems to have gone by all of a sudden, too.
Curious as to what might be happening, the elf emerges from her hiding place and heads towards the deck.

Granite (and Skreg) see with their darkvision that, while the ship is mostly intact now, it may not last: there is no one at the helm, and the rock walls of the tunnel, while worn smooth by the flow of water, could easily shred the ship at its current speed, should it blunder into them while unattended.

“We are in a tunnel!? Are you sure?” Silvermoon asks, after Skreg informed her of what he had noticed. “A river you say? That's weird, really weird. Wonder how we did end up here, or where here is, anyways, but it's better than being drawn beneath the ocean for sure.”
Frantically looking around for some sailors who are still alive and hopefully well, Silvermoon starts searching for someone to man the helm, as she does not feel quite up to the task to steer the ship herself. She neither possesses the skill nor the strength to do so.
