Jaeron and Johannas (Forecastle)
Julak and Toven continue stabbing at the creature, and Julak yells out something. A command? But it's impossible to say what, the wind is howling so loudly that nobody can hear anything else, even at close range. The monster gives a frenzied retaliation, which leaves Johannas in bad shape. Before he or Jaeron can attack, though, the ship starts rocking even worse than before. With Divex down, nobody is at the wheel, and the storm seems to be getting actually worse. Having never acquired their sea-legs, neither the dwarf or the druid can maintain their footing and both are swept right off the deck, splashing into the turbulent sea below.
Kalana (Center Deck)
Senllip (Aftcastle)
It is only in thanks to his many years at sea that Senllip manages to keep his footing on the rollicking ship. The winds are so strong now, it feels they could lift him up and carry him away as easily as a piece of paper. He takes another stab at the monster, but again his sword cannot pierce its tough hide. The creature tries grabbing at Senllip, as if hoping to gobble him up in one swoop. But Senllip is, if nothing else, quite nimble and easily evades. Frustrated, the creature then tries biting him directly. At the last second, Senllip rolls aside and the monster instead bites into a barrel. It gets locked in its jaw, and the creature seems, at least for the moment, unable to retract it.

Kalana (Center Deck)
Kalana yells out for help, but she can't even hear herself over the howling wind, so it seems unlikely anyone else heard her, either. Only with years of experience on the sea does she manage to keep her footing as the ship rocks even more with nobody manning the wheel. She and the toad monster exchange blows, but in the end Kalana is victorious and manages to slay it. Or, she thinks she does. Rather than die as expected, the creature just vanishes as if it never existed in the first place.
Kalana looks around. Over on the forecastle, she sees Jaeron and Johannas fall overboard, and Julak and Toven continuing to fight on their own. Over on the aftcastle, Senllip is facing another creature by himself. And then in the middle, where she is, Divex continues to bleed and the wheel rapidly spins in one direction, than another. The storm appears to be actually getting worse, at this point, as well. Other sailors struggle just to get below decks to safety.
What's more, Kalana notices that the main mast has a huge crack in it. The storm arrived so quickly there was no time to lower the sails, and now they threaten to tear the mast right off the ship.
Senllip (Aftcastle)
It is only in thanks to his many years at sea that Senllip manages to keep his footing on the rollicking ship. The winds are so strong now, it feels they could lift him up and carry him away as easily as a piece of paper. He takes another stab at the monster, but again his sword cannot pierce its tough hide.
