Ah, but I was here before youOOC:
I see. That makes 3 wizards in the thread...
Malaci stood up, and let the water drip from him. "Yeah, I'm fine, check her."
Pirates? Anyone else a pirate? Come on, be a pirate.

Aravis pondered for a minute, "There's not much else we could do. Divide the cannon balls equally. We shoot once we're side to side with the ship. I'm going to 'ave to place my hope in survival on Aslan. Maybe we can talk to either wizard to see if they can make this boat run faster. Jest because they are following closely behind us doesn't mean we are to slow down. I don't know 'bout ye, but I ain't looking forward to fighting on this ship!"
"Aye...fighting's always been a hobby of mine, but this ship I'm afraid wont suffice...unless..."IOWW thought for a moment," Well...we'd have to get pretty close, but...I think I've got a plan, Cap'n..."

"Is there anything I can do?" Malaci pulled out his staff and instantly dried his cloak.

IOWW left leaving the crew wondering. Aravis followed closely behind her. "So do ye mind sharing whatever plan ye 'ave?" Aravis asked.
"Aye...ye might be able to help..."
"Well...those be battle ships out there...hundreds and hundreds of Cannons...if we want to survive, we'd have to be behind those guns..." IOWW stared at two completely confused faces," Alright...anyway, I say if we can get our ship close enough, we swing over onto the other ship and have battle there...after we've fired our cannons completely, at least...I mean...why wait for certain death when we can pounce upon it and give some back?"

Aravis had her jaw opened for a couple of seconds. "I'm not going to say that this be a great plan, because as a matter o' fact, I think its insane. But are chances of survival are very minimal at the moment, so I'm going to go ahead with it. The only thing I ask either wizard is....I was wondering ..now that I've decided we should fight, if ye can put some spell on the cannons. At least ye know...to make 'em shoot twice as hard or something...."

Malaci thought to himself for a moment.
If I could survive weeks underwater without a single breath, why shouldn't I be able to face death and come out just fine...
He pulled out a cracker and took a bite, the taste was so bitter he had to spit it out. Saliva and black powdered stuff flew out onto the deck, it was ash. Malaci's mouth felt dry, so he pulled out the small canteen he had with him and took a swig of it, but it just didn't quench his thirst, he took another one, still just as thirsty as before. He finally poured the entire thing down, yet it was as if he had been drinking air, dry air. He stuff the rest of the cracker and the canteen back into his cloak.
"Uh, if I may suggest, I'm not the best cannon operator, and if the battle calls for it, I want to fight face to face... may I?" Malaci pondered.
"Also, I think I need to change my name, after all, a wizard in the human world probably wouldn't go well with most people... I was thinking Bartholomew Roberts."
He kept quiet after this.
EDIT: Bartholomew heard the request by QA48, and replied. "Sure, they won't last forever though." He held out his staff and called out a word in Elvish, nothing seemed to happen, but he turned around to the captain and said, "That should do it."

"It's just a plan...'sides...most Navy sailors are hardly a day over 20 and don't know the difference between a cutlass and a dagger...but yeah, would you magical ones mind helping us out with those cannons?"

Both Aravis and IOWW looked at Malaci, "That's the name of a current Captain," Aravis said raising her left eyebrow.
"And last time I heard, he was still alive...of course, unless something 'appen to him after the three years we spend in Narnia...I mean...the year we were gone.." IOWW added.
"Whatever floats yer boat..Bart. Anyways, are ye sure ye can help us with the cannons?" Aravis asked him.

He smiled, and winked, "Aye, so it is."
"And yes, I just cast a spell on it, the cannons will fly closer to what gunman is looking to aim at, not much more can be done about the power. If you want more power, add more gunpowder. I was not speicilized in charms."
IOWW grabbed her telescope back from Aravis and looked back at the ships, "Olorins boost gave us more of a lead, but those ships are gaining fast...they're back on the horizon, and it's only been ten minutes..."

"Aravis? IOWW? Twilight?" Fish quietly DVed. "Mates...Machia 'n I...we're so sorry...Look we have to warn ye about something... Do ye still trust us?"

I'm listening to the song off the POTC soundtrack where the battle takes place in the whirpool. One word: EPIC! Kinda matches with our plotline right now, but Olorin made the rain stop so its not as tragic as it should be. lol.
ic-
Aravis took a deep breath. "So, this is it matey. we're actually going to battle. Its been a while since we've done this...but oh well...let git our men ready. Are ye up fer handling the angry sailors while I command up here?" she asked IOWW after leaving Malaci to work on his spell.
Edit:
A familiar voice was heard:
Araivs laughed outloud. "Do we trust ye? what kind of question is that? Or be'er yet, what kind of poisoned apple cider ye've been drinking over thar?" Aravis sarcastically asked.

"DOn't worry, the sailors wont be causing any problems unless we deny them their freedom at the nearest land...if we get to land that is..."
That's when IOWW heard Fish's voice.
"Warn us?" IOWW repeated," Well, if it be about the two Navy ships followin' our tail, then yer a bit late..."

"Sir, they are within range of our cannons," a sailor spoke to Machia, Captain of the Dauntless. "Shall we open fire upon them?"
Meanwhile, Saruman stood next to Beckett, both gazing out upon the scene of the skirmish that was very soon to take place. "What do you plan to do once you have gained complete control of the seas, Beckett?" the ancient wizard asked.
Beckett gave the proudest smile he had ever before in his life, and said, "Do as all good businessmen do, Lord Saruman - make money at the expense of all lesser people. Some of these pirates may have a use yet, a use to be traded for goods and other items of particular want. What will you do when your world is freed of these pirates?"
Saruman gave a scowl rather than a smile. "I will finally be able to rest, knowing the antagonists of my world have fallen to a swift and bitter ending. Then shall I be left to dwell in peace." The two resumed gazing at the scene, waiting...waiting....

"Which begs the question, which ship are you on?" Aravis asked. "I wouldn't be surprised if ye two traitors led them to us...How much booty did the wizard offer ye? And don't be lying to us, we know the wizard be here on earth!"
"You're on one of those bloody ships!?" IOWW DV'd back, dumbfounded," We've been running, Fish! There's not much more running we can do. We'll be fighting soon."
