After the Corsairs were discovered a battle on the Elven ship began. Nilak had done little in the way of fighting. At first he did what he could to make sure the Corsairs were out of the barrels. He wouldn't want any to be left behind by themself. During the battle Sernir had stayed close to Nilak. Probably using me as a human shield, Nilak thought, but Sernir did watch his back.
Nilak took a few punches from the angry Elves and the Lossoth allies, but he just punched right back. Somewhere between taking and giving hits Nilak turned to see Tarn being attacked by a bird of prey.
He tried to come to Tarn's aid, but he heard Marreth urging them to escape. The Corsairs jumped over the side of the ship. Nilak would have joined them, but he felt the need to get Tarn first. He stopped when he saw Marreth helping Tarn over the edge and into the icy water. Nilak leapt over the rail and into the water. He swam alongside the Corsairs toward the shore as arrows from the ship rained down on them.
Once on shore Nilak was given a fur blanket to warm himself. He had someone help him back to his hut where he started a fire and changed into dry clothes. He fell asleep not long after.
