Emerald runs over to Ruby as the tentacles lash out again at the pirates gathered on board. To their credit, most jump out of the way or otherwise block or dodge the attack. The few though are slammed to the floor and raked across their backs by the saw-like tentacles.

The colt drags Ruby down the stairs, but suddenly stops at the second floor. He realizes that the cannons would likely do a fair amount of damage to that monstrosity.

The pair peak into the cannon room and see that they weren't the only ones with that idea. There are a pair of pirates down here, reading the cannons.

"It's leaning up against the ship!" one of the says, "I can't get the gunport open!"

"Forget the gunport, just fire it through the wall!" The other pirate responds.

The pair go behind the cannons to push them into position, but as they do the ship lurches suddenly, causing one pirate to fly backwards and bump his head against the crates, and it knocks him out.

The other lands on top of the metal grate in the center of the cannon room. He doesn't get up either, and Emerald thinks he probably got a pretty bad injury considering his face seems to be bleeding a little.
