He is quite charismatic and the crew seems devoted to him. Several of the crew members are visibly frightened, licking their lips, glancing about, and not being able to hold still.The Kraken Guards just give you a flat look as you tell them your plans. They size you up, look at each other and shrug. As you are walking away, one of them says, "We'll do what we need to. You do what you want."[Knowledge (Tactics) roll= 14+2= 16] You think that the elemental rings on each ship would make a side-by-side boarding action very difficult. You envision the chasing ship coming up directly behind and boarding at the very aft of the ship or coming in above the ship and roping down.Davik is standing toward the aft watching the approaching ship. He went and grabbed his weapons and armor. He has on leather armor and has a half spear, buckler, and short sword.Yothcare is near Davik, though not with him. He is intently studying his spellbook. The First Mate has gone down below. You heard the Captain tell him something about making sure passengers were secure and everything was in order.The Captain moves around the ship by turns offering encouraging words to the crew and monitering the other ship. Suddenly he turns around, hollaring, "Why in Oladra's name are we slowing down?"The pilot, Vandane, whips his head back giving the Captain a nervous glance. Sweat is pouring down his face. Then he turns back to the the wheel and suddenly the ship jerks to a stop. [Balance roll= 10+4= 14] You manage to stay on your feet, but several of the crew fall down. The Captain roars and charges at Vandane who takes off running to the fore of the ship. You look back and estimate that the pirate ship will catch the Cloud Dancer in only another minute or two. It is moving extremely fast.</blockquote>
