Gan Ning crouched avoided the arms, swiftly aiming to cut them off. He would then try to plunge both his swords through the Bleck's stomach, he would then draw them out and kick the Bleck's body into the water below, unknowingly avoiding the acid.
Gan Ning's manoeuvre worked, although it might have been an idea to avoid the patch of water where he'd pushed the Bleck in for a few minutes... meanwhile, Zhou Tai had fended off his own Bleck and similarly dispatched it, knocking it off the other side of the ship. That mask, incidentally, was more of a sleek helmet with a full face-guard, showing only his strikingly crimson eyes. Just thought I should mention it. ... shush.
Meanwhile, water was starting to spill up onto the deck from the staircase Bryce had just come up.
"Excuse me gentlemen!" Alcharius shouted from Jinx's grip. "But I think an evacuation might be in order some time round about now!"

Bryce made it up to the top deck and heard the enchanted hat's words. "Okay, you two get everyone onto your ship! I'll stick around here and block your escape." he yelled, gesturing to Gan Ning and Zhou Tai. "Yessir!" said Gan Ning jokingly, their own much larger ship was now nearby, easily accessible, people were already jumping onto it. Bryce gripped his sword and adjusted his shield and took up a defensive stance in front of the ship, blocking of anyone who was trying to get on, as the ship was considerably larger and required ladders to be brought down onto it.

"Wow, first time in a while no one's been bothered by the talking hat..." Alcharius muttered to himself, relieved nonetheless not to have to waste any precious moments allaying such surprise.
Zhou Tai gave a short nod to Bryce, then surveyed the scene. Noticing Jinx's collapsed form, he quickly darted over to her, cutting down another Bleck as he went, then picked up her up with one arm and slung her over his shoulder before retreating back towards his ships.
Elsewhere, a Bleck jumped down from the poop deck at Bryce, trying to use the momentum of its approach to overwhelm him and dice him with its claws. Another Bleck darted, posture low, towards Gan Ning and snapped its jaws at his waist.

Gan Ning would cockily escape the Bleck by leaping athletically up the side of the side of his ship and onto the deck. He blew a raspberry at the Bleck.
Bryce however stepped to the side slightly and aimed to cut the Bleck clean through the stomach as it would pass him in the air. He then kicked another Bleck back and gutted it. He quickly grabbed onto a nearby rope, as everyone was now on the rope. "Pull!!" he yelled up. He was quickly hoisted onto the ship, as Gan Ning yelled "EAAAAST!!!" and turned the ship away from all the attacking Blecks. "Behehe..." he chuckled. Bryce turned around and checked his forces, he was saddened, he had less than half of what he left with. "Blasted Blecks..." he said, he removed his helmet and scratched the back of his head. Soon enough, the cabin door opened, and out stepped a tall Beast. He seemed to be a Tigra race, a half-tiger Beast clan. The man had a large sword held to his back by bandages and long, spiked back dark brown hair. Despite being a Beast, he walked with a sophisticated stature and had a reassuring face. The man approached Bryce. "You lead these people?"
"Yes." Bryce confirmed. "Well, good on ya. Saved some numbers there. Oh, right. I'm Sun Ce, I lead this ship. You've met my crew, three elves, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning." Sun Ce gestured to the three individually. "Oh, do you know these two?" asked the Beast captain of this battle galleon. Two men were brought forward, one an elven rogue and the other a champion whom Bryce knew from Silmar. "Croix?!" he yelled at the Champion. "We found this Champion with this Rogue in handcuffs, claiming he captured him." Bryce grumbled, then exploded. "Croix! I told you to STOP catching Rogues just because they're Rogues!"

LaCroix groaned as he was adressed as Croix, Bryce kept doing that despite all the times he had corrected him. As Bryce yelled at him for doing what he did best, he shot a dirty look at the rouge next to him. "For the 1337th time... MY NAME IS LACROIX WITH AN L.A". His voice grew softer and he thought he should explain about the rouge. "This elf is a villain,one who should be put to the sword!". He drew his sword and struck an over the top pose.

Grim scowled angrily at the captain and Lacroix. He wouldn't move as the sword was drawn but a deep growl could be heard from the doorway, a huge wolf, the size of a man, stood in the doorway,snarling at Lacroix. "As i tried to explain to this retard" he nodded towards Croix "I'M NOT A BLOODY ROGUE!" he shout angrily "I'M A BLOODY RANGER!" he finished panting and red in the face

Zhou Tai laid Jinx down carefully against the side of the deck, then turned round and gave a silent salute with his spear to Bryce as Sun Ce introduced him.
Zhou Yu, meanwhile, a tall, relatively pale-skinned Sea elf with thick, brown hair tied back in a pony tail and red, practical garments, stepped forward and smiled politely at Bryce. "Welcome to our ship, we have just a few rules. First of all, no racism-" Then the episode with LaCroix and Grim unfolded and, without a trace of irony, Zhou Yu exploded at the Champion, "Unhand my elven brother, you mortal swine!"

LaCroix glared at Zhou Tai as he yelled at him, while mentally chuckling at the irony of no racism. "I haven't actually got my hands on him, so there's nothing to unhand...".

"Oh there's plenty to unhand. Every night in your quarters. Virgin." Bryce chuckled, as suddenly the entire ship roared with laughter and began singing along in a well-known Bard's tale called 'The Lonely Virgin'.

"Tch, humans" Grim muttered to Zhou Yu "I'm getting outta here" he said storming out of the room, his wolf close behind him.

Zhou Yu sighed in commiseration with Grim as the ranger stormed off deck. "Indeed..." He then looked around and spotted Zhou Tai next to Jinx. "Oh, what happened here?" He went over to the elfin rogue and began to examine her medically. As he was doing this, he spotted Alcharius. "Tch, what's she doing with this piece of scrap material?"
"That's enchanted artefact to you, Master Elf!" the hat retorted angrily.
Zhou Yu just raised a cool eyebrow. "... sorry. Scrap material with attitude problems."
Alcharius grumbled. "Oh come on! Does a talking hat count for nothing these days? Why aren't you more shocked?"
Zhou Yu exchanged a glance with his captain Sun Ce. "Well..." he began to explain. "We've seen things. We've seen them with our eyes."

"We've seen things. They're often in disguise." chirped Sun Ce. Suddenly the door opened and popped in Gan Ning. "Like, Carrots!"

"Handbags! Cheese! Toilets!" Zhou Yu continued.
"Russians," the stoic Zhou Tai suddenly added, eyes just visibly flicking from side to side beneath his helm.

"Planets!" chirped Sun Ce again. "Hamsters, weddings!" exclaimed Gan Ning.

"Poets, Stalin, Kuala Lumpur! Pygmies, budgies Kuala Lumpur!" Zhou Yu finished off, paused, then surmised, "So yes, we've seen things, seen them with our eyes. Now I have to see what's wrong with this elven friend of yours, Mister Hat, so do hush now." He knelt down next to Jinx again and frowned. "Oh dear... looks like some sort of venom... ah, but I think I have something which can help." He took out a small vial of potion from his pouch and administered it to Jinx's mouth. It would make her come too, though she'd still feel the effects of the poison - she wasn't completely cured just yet.
