Brax head slightly spinning from all of Senllip's suggested tactics, shakes his head and listens to Kalana feeling it makes more sense he merely nods his head. "Ain't never been accused o' overthinkin afore but I s'pose this could be me first."

"Sneaking as Manta Ray will be much faster and accomplish the same result. Don't you think? And I have heard no comment about the explosives... No one here has any?" "What manner of explosives? We have some gunpowder on our ships, which I imagine you do, as well, if you have cannons or firearms," Julak mentions. "And if we turn to magic, maybe we can use magical fog to cover our ships while we use the catapults and ballistae to rain hell on their harbor. Also, if someone will create illusions that will distract the guards from the water line it will ease my own sneaking. It doesn't have to be an illusion of attackers, but could be of villagers celebrating, or nymphs giggling or a caravan of good trades and shiny weapons... anything that will make them stride few hundred meters from the ships..." "The thing to understand about magic is that most spells have a maximum range measured in feet or yards," Saren points out. "But they will be able to see our ships approaching from about a mile out, maybe farther if they have spyglasses. In other words, by the time our ships are close enough for any casters to create illusions or fog, the enemy will have long since seen us coming and mobilized in response."

"Well.. hit and run it is!" Senllip chuckles. "And praying of course." he bows slightly to Au'li and Saren trying to put on a more serious face.

"Well, then we should get some rest and prepare to set sail tomorrow," Saren notes.

"I'm going to stay up a little bit longer," Kalana says. She needed a drink.

The others say their goodnights and begin heading to their rooms for the night.

Brax will join in having a few drinks before going to sleep. He even considers visiting a local temple to his god just for good measure, but he ends up ultimately praying with his uncle for any type of divine aid in the events to come.

"Kalana, hmm... Can you describe their firepower and strategies? And we can still try to set their sails on fire from afar with flaming arrows, or even flaming catapult balls. Maybe we can buy some grease for that purpose tomorrow before we set sail."
After discussing these final notes with Kalana Senllip turns to his sister happily, "So, I'll show you around the ship then?" ========================================== (OOC: Is greek fire known? And will it be possible to smear some flamable and sticky material on the cannon balls and catapult bullets to add a chance of setting the ships on fire if the balls/bullets hit the target? Do we know if the Gunn has some special weapons we need to prepare to?)

"They will have the same weapons that we do," Kalana says. "And they are pretty straight forward with strategies. They try to overwhelm enemies with their numbers. As for setting the sails and the like on fire, if you can accomplish it with your hit on run tactics, then I don't see a problem with it."

Senllip would like to: 1. refill crossbows bullets if we didn't already. 2. Have about 10 normal bows. 3. have 500 normal arrows. 4. have a grease keg that is sealed and protected from accidental fire. I know it present some risk but the keg will be put in protected location and give us a small chance of keeping some of the enemy occupied in "not trying to kill" us. Senllip will brief the crew and set three people on the fire arrows starting to act when they are in relatively close range. One use the bow and dip the arrow in grease, the second lit the arrow and the third use crossbow to shoot the enemy but also looks if some drops of lit grease falls on deck and extinguish it. The grease keg location is hidden in between chests of other supplies and lots of water buckets.
