"Good shot! Keep it on!" Senllip encourages. He also makes sure to stand in front of Cassie relative to the enemy direction in case some random arrow will reach them.

Kalana "Uh...not that I can think of?" Bayla responds. "I could try signaling them with my flags, though?"
Senllip The crew fire another ballista bolt and more crossbow bolts, but all miss. The Dreadnought fires back, striking the Blue Diamond's rigging with a partial hit.
Brax "Well, the Dreadnought is more than twice as big as this cargo ship," Thom answers. "And we have no ram and this ship isn't oar powered. So my guess is, we'd be smashed to tinders."

================================ (OOC: Exactly. Parley... sure there is signal for it. If they didn't, after "Pirates of the Caribbean" they must added it to the jargon )

Kalana "I can try!" Bayla calls. She signals the Dreadnought as the crew loads and fires the ballista again. Then she calls down, "Admiral, they're responding! They say...we are to surrender you to them immediately and the rest of the crew will be spared if you cooperate."
Senllip The crew fire again. The ballista misses again, as do their crossbows. But the Dreadnought manages to score a hit on their own rigging, weakening the small cargo ship further.
Brax "Aye," Thom says. He orders the crewman in the crow's nest to signal for parley.
The crewman calls down, "They're signaling back, captain! They are demanding our unconditional surrender."

Brax "Course they do. I'm thinkin that our admiral has other intent. Signal back surrender, an cease fire I s'pose. Then again that'd be kinda devious right? Act like we're givin up then attack em. Thoughts uncle?"

Kalana mutters under her breath that Tethys knows her too well, but she looks up to Bayla. "Stop our attack. I'll surrender myself," she says to Bayla. "But signal back that I will only do this if he lets go of my ships, not just my crew. Providing that he agrees, which he probably will, I want my crew to get on the Seleya. The Bluemoon isn't lasting much longer. Signal to Brax and Senllip that they should surrender themselves too providing that Tethys agrees to let their crews go. I could use some backup on there."

"Just hope you know what you're doing," Thom says to Brax. "Looks like the Bluemoon is calling it quits, too."
Back on the Bluemoon, Bayla calls down to Kalana, "The Dreadnought is approaching, Admiral. They signal that they are taking us all on before the ship sinks. We are to disarm and board, and the other ships have to surrender, too."

"This isn't going to work," Kalana says. "He is just going to take us all prisoner, and take us back to Gunn. Signal the other ships to keep firing. If the Seleya gets here first, everyone else get aboard that ship. I'll stay behind," she says. "I'm not surrendering to him again."

"Admiral, they're in cannon range now...if they don't see it coming...and they are already in pretty bad shape!" calls down Bayla.
