Airships! Furious Skies

[Rayleonarde]

The crew took no notice of Raz's eating.


Ronnie read his charts for the third time over, and sighed. "Yes, this is the spot. We're gonna have company here soon, lads! Prep for battle and stand by!"

[Nishjin]

After hearing that there would be battle, I run into the interior of the ship. I definitely didn't bring a weapon today in case I got searched, and I really don't feel like dying today.

[Razuel]

Raz barely overheard the word 'battle' and he began to frantically looking around, freaking out and shaking his cage, making roaring/whimpering noises as his cage shook, making creaking noises along with his whimpers.  One of the shakes caused the cage to his the closest bit of ship to him, scratching the paint.

[Rayleonarde]

Ronnie strode to the cage, and jostled the chain. "Give us a big loud roar when the traders show up, an´ maybe we'll feed ya, eh?" The massive raccoon cackled to himself as he walked away.

No more than ten minutes later, the trade fleet arrived. Two small frigates flanked each of the barges, ill equipped to fight a ship like the Bloodeater.

[Nishjin]

Looking out one of the portholes, I saw a small ship portside and wondered what the fuss was about. Surely something that tiny wouldn't pose a threat? Then I noticed the crew were spreading out evenly across both sides, so there must be two ships. Enough reason to have a battle, I guess. When I hear the first shots being fired, I hide inside the room that had the cleaning supplies in it.

[Razuel]

Raz put a paw to his belly and rubbed it, "I think I can...", Raz wrenched his head back and thrust it forward, letting out an ear - bursting roar, causing the closest of windows to him shatter and break.

When Raz finished, he looked around awkwardly as the whole area had gone silent, either silent from fear or from being impressed.

[Nishjin]

I heard a huge roar from what the dragon had been kept. Looking out the porthole I see the enemy ship scuttling a little bit, obviously intimidated. I chuckle and wonder what they'd think if they knew the dragon was here against his will.

[Rayleonarde]

Ronnie watched the trading barges stop, and smiled as he shouted. "Forward guns! Open up on 'em!" Barrages from the forward facing 105 millimeter howitzers ripped across the sky, plinking off of one barge's rear armor plating. The frigates began to return fire, small 40 mm shells slammed into the Bloodeater, but didn't pierce the armored hull, giving the gunners time to readjust and return fire.  The entire time, the Bloodeater cruised on, heading right for the barges.
