Description:

Emerald leaps into action, getting behind the cannons and attempting to push them into position. Ruby joins him less than a second later and pushes as well. The movement is slow going, until Emerald realizes he should probably just use his magic.

He uses his push spell, and though it's still a struggle, they get the two cannons in place that the pirates were operating.

>Rolled 2, passed

Emerald remembers what the pirate told him about loading the cannons, and Ruby seems to grasp the concept herself as well. The cannons are loaded, and after taking refuge slightly away from the artillery, Emerald latches his focus underneath his knife belt and fires the cannons.

The side of the ship splinters open as the cannonballs fly through, throwing wood, bone, and tiny chunks of metal into the room. There is clear opening through the wall that Emerald can see the monster through. The cannonballs gave the monster two new holes, and it writes and shakes.

Suddenly a scream sliced with an eerily low moan fills the air. The sound is so otherworldly, loud, and sorrowful that the foals can't help but to cover their ears over the noise.

Two tentacles flail randomly through the new hole in the wall, knocking one cannon aside and the other through the lattice hole in the center of the room. Emerald ducks under one of the tentacles, but Ruby is lifted off of her feet as it tosses her over some crates near the corner of the room.

Emerald has only a few moments to cry the young filly's name before the tentacle pulls back out, causing the flat surface of the drill bit mechanism to slam into the colt and throw him out of the ship.

Unconscious, Emerald's limp body plunges into the icy cold water of the strait where it lay unnoticed as he slowly slipped beneath the waves…
