easy at first...

Lana was the first on the deck of the enemy ship and led the charge into battle. Up close, she wouldn't have time to reload her pistols after firing them, so she had to save the. Her rapier was quickly freed from its sheath as the first of the unlucky sailors charged her. Being the only female pirate of the group probably made him think her to be weak. As the man lifted a rather large axe, bellowing out a battle cry, she neatly stepped in, causing his attack to be dangerously off course. She easily ducked under his arms as he brought the weapon down and came up behind him, sliding the thin blade of her rapier into his back, right into his heart.

She jerked the sword free and turned in time to see another man coming at her with a cutlass. His sword was made more for cleaving, making blocking hard for her blade. Instead she used her sword to deflect his attack and came in close to throw a solid left hook right into his throat. The man toppled back with a sickening gurgle as his airways began to cave on him. This didn't stop another sailor from leaping over his fallen friend and charging at her. A gunshot rang out and the man's forehead gained a new bright red hole only a second before the back of his head splattered outwards.

Lana turned to see Alistair, one hand holding his large sword resting on his shoulder and his free hand holding a smoking pistol.

"Keep on your toes Pup! You've got another!"

Lana caught movement out of the corner of her eye as a black shape appeared before her. She jumped back in time to avoid a dagger that was striking downward meant for her neck. A Cryn assassin stood before her, holding a sword one hand and a dagger in the other. She didn't know if she was lucky or if it was just playing with her. Looking closely, the body seemed female, but it was hard to tell from the black chest plate and mask.

"So you've joined the fight huh?"

The assassin didn't answer, but a quick hand motion put the dagger into it's belt, leaving it holding only its sword. It was a single edged sword, similar to a katana but a little longer. The assassin took the blade in both hands, looking her in the eyes. The eyes were large and a light green color. After a moment of them staring at each other, the assassin simply nodded and charged.
