Both Aslatiel and Rakuyo had still been below deck when the alert was called, getting above deck just as the Ketokar pulled alongside their ship. They quickly joined with the defenders, Aslatiel fending off the boarders and Rakuyo returning fire with his spells, careful to avoid setting the parts of the enemy ship on fire that held members of the Amaranthia's crew that had boarded them.

At some point he found himself close to Aenwyn, close enough to hear her comment to herself, though as she burned one of the planks he used the water left behind by her elemental's attack to lash out at a boarder nearby, freezing it as it went to create a row of spikes that impaled the dark elf while he was still crossing his plank, giving a quick nod to Aenwyn before his focus returned to the other ship.

A little ways down another dark elf boarder was attempting to swing across on a rope, only to be caught midair by Aslatiel's scythe which cleaved him right off the rope, Aslatiel then brought his weapon down a pulled the blade off to use as a sword and folded the haft to place on his back as he defended against any further of the privateer's attempts to board.
