*Looks up to Aeoess in the nest*
Aeoess, what be the matter? We could really use your help with the rigging.
*John heads up to the nest and offers Aeoess a hand, he noticed the tears, so rather then yelling, he offered a hand*

(My character was helping to get the water out below, but we'll just continue anyway.)
*Aeoess looked to John*
"You don't hear it, do you?
I hear my cat, even though heard it howl when I heard a splash from my cell, I assume it's dead, but I still hear it, along with everything else!"
*Aeoess looked down for a second.*
"...I'm guessing that the head doctors and priest were right, something is wrong with me..."

"I'll help you with that, we need to get out of here anyway."
*She walked with Jon to the rigging*
"And thank you for helping me."

*She loads the cannon again and hopes for the best as she lit the fuse. The cannon beside her let out a chain shot, straight at the main mast of the enemy ship. She hoped it was just close enough to do some damage.*
FIRE AT WILL! HURRY WITH IT, LADS!!!!!
*with that, her cannon let out a screech and sent grape shot straight at the enemy's sails*

*As the forward gun roared out, there instantly came a reply. To Jack's pure pleasure, the Boadicea's main was shot through just above the deck. Whom ever had sighted that shot was going to be awarded something this side of fiddler's green.*
"HUZZAH LAD'S! HUZZAH!!! NOW, KEEP IT UP. WE'RE VEERING FOR OPEN WATERS! MR. JOHN!!! REPORT TO THE FORECASTLE. TAKE UP AN AXE AND CUT AWAY OUR ANCHORS.... WE NEED TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT. ONCE THAT IS SEEN TO, PULL IN THE BOATS."
*Jack watched as the crew worked diligantly. With the Boadicea's Mainmast shot clear through, it was only a matter of time before her rigigng was all ahoo. He beamed with pride as hope gleamed upon the ship.*

Destiny shouted words of encouragement to her crew, hoping that the ball and chain hit a mast. Let's go Lads! Keep'em firing! Load, shot, wading, power fire! Nice shot! Keep it up! Lets's make the Lady proud!
Upon hearing the Captain's shout of joy, she knew she and her crew had hit what she was aiming for. Not bad for a begining gunner and crew she told herself. She just hoped that the Captain woulndn't be angry for her misunderstanding of orders.

*she heard the Captain cry out, and saw the mast topple over. She patted the man beside her on the back*
Good show! Now, reload!
*she turned to the rest of the gunners*
Come on, lads! Take out those sails! Let's fire some grape shot and really put some holes in 'em!

BRING ABOUT THE YARDARM, GET SOME PULLEYS, AND HOIST UP THE BOATS MEN, WE MAKE LEAVE!
*After shouting out the order, John ran to fetch the axe and cut anchor*
Make it so that we bring about the fullest in these sails.

"REMAIN STEADY MEN! CONTINUE FIRE!"
All around her the deck took new life as the crew wrestled the sails and cut anchors. Reloading her gun she aimed a little higher then last time, targeting the main mast. Plugging her ears as she set the fuse she peaked over the gun as if fired towards the enemy ship.

*Aeoess smiled as she watched as the sails of the other ship were getting torn apart. She became confident they would leave, that and most of the more annoying soldiers she assumed were on that ship so her plans to go back home where not going to be tainted too much. However she knew that they weren't out of it completely, with that she decided to see if Jon needed any help.*
"Need anymore help with anything, Jon?"

Bring about the yardarm, get some pulleys, and hoist up the boats.

*As suddenly as they had fired the Boadicea's vast broadside, the fire was returned. A loud crunch was heard, a creaking and then the mast went by the board. Shrouds parted, men screamed and the ship lost it's way. Having slowed to a mere 3 knots, the Boadicea readied to return fire. Quite literally*
"Mr. Claise. Pass word to the gunner that I'd like hot-shot loaded into all guns. Aim for the deck: Sweep her Quarter."
*Returning the salute, the powder encrusted hand ran below. Shortly hereafter, the shot having been loaded, a midshipman reported that the broadside was ready and awaiting orders.*
"FIRE AS THEY BEAR!"

*she looked out the gun port at the enemy ship. She could see very little, but knew something big was about to happen, as they had not fired back yet. She looked towards Melaria*
Melaria! Make sure they keep firing away!
*she runs to the deck and looks towards the enemy ship with a clearer view. She runs toward the Captain*
Captain, with your glass can you see what they're doing? They haven't fired back yet!
*Shots rang out from below as the gun crew kept firing*
