"By Adonai's blessed skirt, dingy in the water dead ahead occupied by a child! Hard to Port!" Wakil starts off under his breath and by the end is a comanding yell. He gives this warning as he heads to the bow of the ship hurling himself in a dive over the starboard side of the ship.Mallak said:

"What in the bloody hells do those boys think they're--" Mag starts under his breath at the sight of the rowboat barreling toward them. He's cut off, however, by Wakil's warning and rather dramatic dive off the ship. Stunned for only a moment, Mag runs to the rail after the new crewman, casting about for a long rope he might throw the man to keep him above water in the ship's wake.

With a heavy sigh, Denther leaves Malachi and Wakil. 'Another dead end. maybe in port...' he thinks to himself.
Seeing the small boat, hearing the shout of Wakil and seeing him dive off of the boat quite stuns Denther. After a moment, though, He runs to the tiller and tells whoever is there about the boat and Wakil and also advises dropping sail or the sea anchor or both.

As he was thinking of the quality of color the steel he was wanting to buy some light of the sun strikes his eyes and his atention get drawn towards some pink color at the sea. "what can that be" he says out loud. he takes some steps towards the obejct and realizes that they are in a colission curse/path with a small rowing boat "stop the ship!" "we are about to crash witha a row boat!" seeing that his companions runs to sail ropes and steering weel, he turns against what seems to be a child. "Hey you boy! get out of our way!" he rapidly grabs a rope and make a nod to it making a circle at its end. Troth stand ready to trow the rope to the child if neccessary.

Wakil launches himself off the starboard bow in a spectacular dive. He sails through the sunlight, his hair fluttering in the breeze, and he plunges into the water with a splash. Wakil's grand entrace finally alerts men in the longboat to their peril. They start shouting, waving their arms in the air and gesticulating wildly. The oarsmen attempt to reverse their stroke but only succeed in banging their oars together. The man at the tiller has the presence of mind to swing the boat to starboard.
At Wakil's yell, the captain swears loudly and flings the wheel hard to port. The sailors moving on the deck haul in the sheets as Magyar lays hand to a rope with a grapnel tied to the end while Troth makes a loop at the end of another rope. Denther runs back toward the captain, who yells at him, "Denther, drop the tow anchor!"
While the Pander Ban could never be mistaken for the biggest ship on the sea, and she's probably not the fastest, she is definitely a contender for most maneuverable. Under the hands of her captain and crew, she fairly skips to port, neatly slicing between the two smaller craft, slowing quickly. The wake from her bow washes out, rocking the men in the rowboat violently, threatening to tip them. On the starboard side, the wave lifts Wakil as he strokes for the little boat. Wakil has time for one glimpse of an innocent young face, pitched in fright and framed by bouncing, shoulder-length golden curls before the crest of the wave pushes past him and washes over the little boat. Two seconds later, the boat reappears, upside down. There is no sign of the little girl in pink.

Offering a quick prayer for the girl Wakil continues to swim toward the dingy. Upon getting there he will first check under the dingy where the girl could be holding on to a seat and still breathing the air trapped underneath the boat. If the girl is absent he will breath in and out several times for it seems to help on long dives thinking he will only have one time at this and then will dive down and with the current. Searching the entire time as he does so for the pink that she was wearing.

The sudden movement of the ship and the calls about the boat in the water finally alert Colmarr to the dangers of the moment. Not knowing what he can do about it though, as everyone else seems to have things in hand, he runs to the starboard side of the ship and looks over to see what’s happened.

Mag finds himself gaping in awe at the captain's maneurvering. When he comes to his senses, Wakil is clearly too far out for the rope to do any good, and is that another boat almost taken out in the landing?
"Captain, do you think the local dock crews would loan us a skiff to retrieve Wakil?" Mag asks. Wakil might be a fine swimmer (he's clearly got the diving part down, that's for sure), but the ex-performer suspects he'll still benefit from being able to rest on the way back.
[sblock=OOC]Fixed to account for that lost skiff.
