Senllip consider changing course to pick up Kalana and get her to her husband as she seems to want, but figuring the Seleya is much faster he just orders to keep firing the Dreadnaught with the catapult and the ballista.
=================================================== (OOC: If the Seleya won't come for Kalana, we can change course on the next round, right?)

Kalana As per Kalana's orders, Bayla signals the Seleya for help. However, because the ships are so spread apart, coming at the Dreadnought from different directions, it's extremely unlikely that the Seleya will reach them in time. The crew continue sailing toward the Dreadnought and firing the ballista, hoping to do some damage before they go under.
Senllip Senllip's crew continues firing the catapult, and Senllip notes that the Bluemoon is falling apart. However, there is no chance at all he'll reach it before it sinks, because his cargo ship is quite slow and on the other side of the Dreadnought. He can only hope the Seleya is able to reach it in time.
Brax "Aye, captain, reaching weapons range soon," says one of his crewmen.

"Start getting the lifeboats ready," Kalana says to her crew. "Get as many people off this ship as possible." She wasn't going go go anywhere until everyone was off.

Kalana "Admiral, we just have the one rowboat. It can hold maybe six people, if we cram them altogether," Auli'i says.
Kalana would know that there are 10 crewmen left alive on her ship, and then herself, Auli'i and Bayla, making 13 total. The Bluemoon needs at least 8 people to sail (or 4 for a skeleton crew) and 2 to fire the ballista.
Senllip As per Senllip's orders, several crewmen helping with the sails instead turn to the weapons. As a result, the ship slows to about two-thirds its normal speed. They are now able to fire both the catapult and the ballista, although both miss, their projectiles sailing over the Dreadnought and crashing into the sea behind them.
Brax The crew fire their ballista and some crossbows at medium range, but miss entirely.

Kalana The Bluemoon continues forward, the entire ship beginning to list to one side from all the water it's taking in. The crew fire the ballista again, with a glancing blow to the Dreadnought.
Senllip The Blue Diamond slowly inches toward the Dreadnought, but are now too close for their catapult but not close enough for cannons. So those not manning the sails or the ballista pick up crossbows. The ballista strikes for minimal damage, and the crossbowmen get lucky and kill an enemy sailor. But the Dreadnought returns fire with their own ballista, scratching up the Diamond's hull a bit.
Brax The Salty Dwarf moves in closer, firing ballista and crossbows. They manage to kill a couple of the sailors on the enemy ship. For now, at least, the Dreadnought seems to be ignoring them entirely, not seeing the Salty Dwarf as much of a threat, at least compared to the other ships.

Kalana The crew fires another ballista, but it misses. The ship is now in long range for their cannons, if she wants to risk using them this far out.

Brax The crew fire the light ballista, which manages to kill several crewmen. And the crossbowmen kill several more. The Dreadnought retaliates with its own ballista, which strikes the Salty Dwarf's hull, dealing some moderate damage to it.
