Senllip watches the big enemy ship with appreciation. "Nice vessel." he says quietly to himself and prepares for the fight. "Aim to approach the ship from south west. Be ready to fire the catapult as soon as we are in range."

Brax obeys the signals and will direct his crew to approach from the opposite side of the Diamond.

Kalana "Aye, Admiral," Bayla calls. The Bluemoon changes course and heads for the imposing Dreadnought, Tethys' flagship.
Senllip "Got it, brother," Cassie says, directing the crew to approach the flagship from the southwest.
Brax Following Brax's orders, his crew begins sailing the Salty Dwarf toward the flagship, but from the opposite direction of the Blue Diamond.

Kalana As per Kalana's orders, the crew keep the ship sailing forward, toward the Dreadnought. It opens fire, sending a heavy ballista bolt their way, but thankfully it misses the ship entirely and crashes heavily into the ocean off the starboard side. "We're now in long range for our medium ballista," Auli'i informs her.
Senllip The Blue Diamond sails forward, but as a cargo ship, it's much slower than the other vessels and lags behind. "We'll be entering catapult range soon," Cassie informs him.
Brax "You heard the captain," Thom tells the crew. "Full speed ahead." The Salty Dwarf moves ahead, but as a cargo ship it's much slower than the other vessels and lags behind.

Kalana "Aye, Admiral, firing the ballista," says Bayla. The bolt flies through the air and strikes some of their rigging, dealing minor damage. However, the Dreadnought counters with its own ballista. The bolt strikes the hull and the entire ship creaks loudly. Amazingly, it holds together for now, but another hit like that will probably sink her.
"Admiral, we're entering crossbow range soon," Auli'i tells her. From here, Kalana can probably use her spyglass to see on board the enemy ship.
Senllip "We'll be soon entering weapons range, brother," Cassie says to him as the ship sails forward.
Brax "Steady as she goes," Thom says to the crew. "Looks like it might be a couple of minutes before we're in weapons range."

Kalana Kalana pulls out her spyglass as her crew fire their ballista. She sees the bolt strike their rigging, doing minor damage. She can also see the Dreadnought has somewhere around 150 crewmen and at least 50 marines. They return fire, and their ballista bolt hits the ship with such force the entire vessel begins to shake. "We're taking on water!" warns Auli'i. As the Bluemoon begins to fall apart, Kalana estimates they have maybe ten minutes before it sinks entirely.
Senllip The crew fire the catapult, but it misses and splashes down into the ocean about 10 yards away from the target.
Brax "Looks like we're coming into weapons range now," Thom notes to Brax. "Long range with the ballista, at least."
