@Furioso: Dunno. I gave him enough time though, so I'll just move along.
Crystal's spears seemed to put some decent sized holes in the hull of one ship, but not quite enough to make it start sinking yet.
Raven managed to take out the ballista crew on the first ship, but more Rose troops ran over and clumsily started to try and man it. As they did, several archers on that ship started firing at everyone on the group's ship.
Long Fang's attack started a few fires on a second ship and killed a few soldiers who had tried to put them out. More archers on that boat opened fire on him as a result.
The Wanderer's Gauss rifle shot did considerable damage to the ballista on the second enemy ship, what with it just being made of wood and iron mechanisms, rendering it useless. The shot also managed to pierce through the ballista and hit one of the unlucky persons manning it, killing him. The remaining ballista crew for that ship just ducked for cover behind barrels and such, not knowing what else to do.
OOC: So, let's say that there's three ships right in front of the group, two of which are now damaged and have men down.
"Who dares wins, my friend. Who dares wins." Etna simply replied to Raven. She ducked down behind the railing for cover as arrows came sailing at the group. The ship kept a steady, evasive pace towards the enemy line.
With most of the ballista's having dead operators or being destroyed, only two more shots could be fired at the group. One was poorly operated, so it missed by a mile, but the other one skimmed the hull and cut a gash into the side. No major damage was done, but it would rock the boat considerably.

"Oh, she's fine...just sleeping." Flonne replied with a strained tone. Her knees were shaking and she was sweating profusely, indicating that she was obviously having a hard time carrying Jean by herself.
