Having seen some gow below deck Chris headed that way. The weather out here had turned quite ugly and he had no intention of being outside longer than he had to. Fighting the wind and the rocking of the ship he trudged forward, checking over his shoulder to be sure that Christopher didn't get bowled over. Ocean spray beating up over the railing it slapped them in the face. Coming up to where he had seen them go he tossed the things he was holding down in a clear spot and waited half way down to take the things off the hands of his companion so he would have it easier getting down.

Once out of the torrent he was met first by a powerful smell of vinegar. Only after the initial burning sensation did he realize that a barrel had been dumped on the ground that held a brine. While not pleasant it wouldn't kill him. Someone had come up from the beck below, which seemed to be the source of the smoke smell. But as they weren't panicing he figured they had solved the problem. After a few moments he put two and two together and concluded that that was why the container had been emptied. If only they had been able to find a better thing to dump.

Brushing salt water from his brow he advanced to the hatch, Tam Tam was there, denoted by her usual yelling. People were down there huh? "[color=slateblue]Hold on, I'll help get them out.[/color]" Looking back he motioned those that were there. "[color=slateblue]I'll get them part way up, I'll need you to lift them out. Got it?[/color]" Stepping down he made his way around carefully. It wasn't terribly well lit down here.
