Sam's involvement with the sea had always been bad but never had she been aboard a vessel during a storm so bad as this one. The first day was fine but after the storm, her days and nights during the first part of the voyage were either spent relying on Kav or being out of it probably puking into a bucket somewhere. She isn't entirely sure what happened during the time of the storm or after but she knows that Kav was there to help a lot and she woke up one time from her delirium in a hammock. She wasn't quite sure how she had arrived in the rope bed. She didn't fully understand it but the unusual bed definitely helped her stomach to not be doing as many flips as it normally would be. At some point, there was a period where she could tell that the rocking of the sea was not as harsh. Were they at land then? Samara was still feeling very squeamish and lay in the gentle swinging of the hammock. Unbeknownst to her, Sam had slept through the entirety of the stop at Santorini. Unless told by someone she would know nothing about the very interesting occurrences that happened on the island. Guaranteed she barely knew what had happened during the storm or after that either. She did wake up when the boat began moving again. Slowly she made her top deck to see they were slowly drifting away from the island. A small splash of disappointment flashed across her face, but they could always make the stop again on their way back. She saw Kav near Ashley. Samara quietly walked over to the two. She needed some sun so even if someone tried to force her back into bed she'd fight against it. Other than that she'd stick close to Kav. Oddly enough, after departing from Santorini, the crashing and rocking of the waves were almost non-existent. It was odd and eerie. In the city, if things got too quiet it was almost a sign to run or at least find somewhere to hide. But the wide-open seas were a different matter. She had no real experience to draw from on if this was unordinary or not. She just found it odd that it felt almost like she was back on land with how little the boat swayed. When Troe began asking about the oddity of this dead spot, Sam's unease about the situation grew. She answered whatever questions she had but eventually added, [color=darkslateblue]"I don't know about the sea but in the streets of the city you never want it to be this quiet."[/color] Then she went below deck to try and sleep the rest of her nausea away. Eventually, the open ocean seemed to return to normal but that didn't help to assuage her worry. As the ship began to renew its rocking she chose to stay below deck and rest. Suddenly, she was woken from her slumber by shouts and people flooding below deck. They were under attack? Why though? Anyone looking at their boat would think the people on it had nothing of worth to take. Or was it because they seemed to be the easiest marks? Sam weakly gripped Kav's shoulder trying to keep him from going out there but he easily slipped out of her hand to continue his way towards the hatch. At this point, she knew there was nothing she could say or do to stop him so instead she tried to quickly ready herself for battle. Once she was ready she tried to follow but was soon stopped by some members of the crew. While normally she would've been fine up there, in her condition they could tell she'd be in a bad way if she tried to go up there without cover or assistance. As Mikhail called out orders she noticed that their leader had already been hit. That definitely wasn't a good sign. [color=darkslateblue]"That IDIOT rushed up there alone. I need to get up top."[/color] Mikhail's plan didn't seem to involve taking back the top deck just yet, and it wasn't like she could push past a horde by herself. She grimaced at the thought of what Kavius may be going through. She had to get up there. Anger and anxiety-fueled her as she let loose her first arrow once Mikhail opened the hatch. The arrow flew with deadly accuracy and embedded itself in the eyepatch of one of the invading 'adventurers'. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices Xara talking to Troe about some scheme. Samara lets loose another arrow connecting with an enemy's torso a little to the left of the heart. As the two mages set about their plan, Sam thinks up one of her own. She rushes to the other side of the boat from the two and slowly begins working her body out of the porthole. She had to leave behind some of her gear, but having leaned her bow and quiver against the wall, she was able to reach back in while hanging off the side of the boat to retrieve those items. Many times she has had to fit through very tight spots but the porthole was definitely among the smallest. It was a good thing that everyone else was drawing enough attention so that her grunts didn't alert any of the enemies. Sam knew she was likely to be berated later as this was a dumb move and since she couldn't swim she'd be in serious trouble if she fell. As the chaos on the other side began Sam started working her way up only to hear an explosion not far behind her. Pressing herself against the side of the Stinkboat to avoid being spotted, she looked around wondering what had happened. The people assaulting their boat were split and frazzled by all the big moves. Some were abandoning the sinking vessel rushing aboard the Stinkboat while some seemed to be moving to see what was wrong. There were way too many people on the Stinkboat now for Sam to safely and stealthily maneuver around up there. Deciding upon another dumb idea, Sam brought her legs up between her torso and the boat. Making sure she knew where she was trying to land, Sam kicked off the side of the boat towards the sinking one only to collide with it missing her intended target. Luckily she was able to find a purchase when she reached out her hands. Her head was spinning but she started climbing anyway. On the deck of the slowly sinking boat, she had a good visual of the Stinkboat. She was about to begin Shooting down the horde only for the attention of hers, along with many others, to be drawn to the back of the boat. It was Kav and he looked in absolutely awful shape. She took aim at the person close to him but the arrow fell early and landed in the man's leg. CRAP! This was not good. Kav was all the way to the back of the Stinkboat and back in the water. Sam took a few more shots at anyone who seemed to be going near where Kav was only one finding full purchase while the others merely grazed their targets. Her position by now was fully given away and enemy archers were sending their own arrows at her. She ducked behind cover to avoid the missiles. She was panicking about how to help Kavius when her vision latched onto a long coil of rope. She didn't know if it would work but it was better than nothing. Quickly she tied one end of the rope around an arrow and the other end around a banister. That's when the few who had stayed behind to stop the sinking of their boat came back up. She let two arrows fly with one embedding itself deep into the mage's throat and the other hitting another shoulder. Taking the rope arrow she quickly shot it towards Kav only for it to not land near him. She pulled out her dagger and rushed the enemy yelling, [color=darkslateblue]"KAV HURRY!"[/color] [hider=Inventory][list][*]Clothing (Cloth tied around forehead, gloves(right glove has the pointer and middle finger cut off), short-sleeved dark green tunic, only the top half of leather armor, dark grey pants, dark green tattered skirt, and boots [*]Bow [*]Quiver with [color=red][s]32[/s][/color] 24 arrows [*][s]Two waist pouches(contains money, materials to make arrows, and items to keep bow maintained)[/s] [*]Small dagger [*][s]A new coin purse and a lot of money[/s][/list][/hider]
