Raven leaped from one opponent to the next, a machine of death to anything that dared to get close, and when he happened upon something that was attempting to give him pause, a threat to anything close enough to put a crossbow bolt into. The creatures were unrelenting, but then they didn't have to kill every last one of them, they just needed to escape the damned storm. Bringing his blade back around once more, he looked toward the front, hoping to see the way out of the storm, or at least the end of it. 

"HOLD STEADY! WE'LL GET OUT OF THIS GOD FORSAKEN STORM YET, AND LEAVE A TRAIL BEHIND US!" Raven shouted, knowing full well they needed to kill these things faster before they began to get into the ship too deeply and start hitting things and slowing them down. They just needed to hold, and for the mages to make sure that the elements didn't bring them down. 

Despite the appearance of the ship being swarmed by monsters, they were doing rather well...until the storm began to show its force. A flaming boulder slammed onto the deck of the ship, shadows delivered by steel slammed into the ship, and began to eat away at the ice. A spike of light cut into the side of the ship as an icicle, and then blasted a small hole clean through. The ice and metal was tough, but the storm didn't have to worry about concentration or exhaustion. 

Slowly the ship began to descend for one to try and give the ship a bit more time to dodge the things falling from above, and so more power could be poured into going forward. This brought the ground close, kicking up any dust, rock, dirt, and anything else that the winds could kick up. The Commander and working crew of the [i]Dead Iron[/i] knew what was going to happen though. The ship wasn't made to be pierced by elements cutting through the ship whole, and they were going to start dropping involuntarily.

"BACK INTO THE SHIP! NOW! EVERYONE INTO THE SHIP, TO THE STAIRS!" Raven shouted, making his own way back to the stairs, slamming a blade into the skull of drake, and then pulling it free. "WE'LL LET THE STORM HAVE EM!"
