Aman, we're not using cannons we're using catapults so you may need to go back and edit this:

chained cannon-balls

and this:

another cannon ricocheted

This also is mildly erroneous since there was no Davey Jones in Middle Earth to name the depths after:

Davey Jones's locker

But as long as the character didn't 'say' the words I guess it's okay however we should be mindful about sailor slang that may not be precise as far as Middle Earth is concerned. I hope Yulman will survive his wounds because I was hoping to keep him around for a while. I don’t want to loose any of the secondary characters I've listed yet.

And I really don't mean to be fastidious, however in the middle of war, when a surgeon or another sailor is frantically going about his business to fight for his life and that of the ship and crew I have great doubts that it would be time for any sort of introductions or conversations. Sailors helping sailors would be second nature without time for any smiles of gratitude or verbal thanks. We need to remember what's about the characters and save lots of talk for after the battles.

Is everyone making sure to read the posts above theirs completely before they post? This way we'll avoid any major inaccuracies.

Great job everyone! This is getting back up and going. Aman your two posts were very nicely done. And yours was an exciting read, Nuranar! Tres bien fait!

And if I can find time before going to see The Passion and the Academy Awards, I'll finish the battle up tomorrow. I'll also save you a post, Arvedui, if you don't get a chance to do one but I may not even have time so... yah...

PS I think I'm getting jealous about Sedal too so let's keep him very much alive too. I liked how you developed him, Aman, tis exactly what I was thinking!
