A few hours of sailing would end when the crew of Blood Fang would be coming up to a lone merchant ship that held a nation flag, three mountain peeks would be on the flag. "There she is." Blood called. "A Highlander ship." He called out. The ship was a fair bit bigger, looked like it had three decks, the top, a middle living area, and a possible storage lower area. A few cannons on the main deck as Blood kept the ship circling a bit, they were far enough to not be fired on yet but it's possible that they were spotted. "Alright everyone, I want need the cannons manned!" He called, there were only four but with the right maneuvering they should have the advantage.
Get ready cause we'll be starting this with naval combat. There will be a short time to prepare before it begins but we'll also have an ambush advantage as well.

Pete, having had several hours to sober up, actually walks straight as he mans a cannon.

The four cannons would be manned now, however it was two on each side. To which Blood gave the order "All Cannons to the Port side!"
Now each cannon had three crates, one for gunpowder, one for regular ammo and the last for chain cannon balls for Mast destruction. "Alright, we need that ship sailing, load up chain balls and be ready to fire once we're in range!" He said, steering the ship to where the enemy would be on their left.

Daran loads the powder into his cannon and then drops in a chain shot.

Within the merchant vessel, a dwarf hums happily to himself, pouring an over-large sample from the ship's brewing vat and downing it in one gulp.
Too-far below deck to hear the cries of alarm as the merchant ship spot the approaching pirates and attempt to take evasive maneuvers, the dwarf is caught by surprise mid-gulp as the ship makes a hard turn. Fully half of the ale sloshes into his beard, which is matted from years at sea, and a keen eye would spot more than one starfish caught in its poorly-braided locks, as well as dozens of fish bones.
"Ahh, that's beautiful", he intones with a thick brogue, eyes glazing over at the taste of the ale. "Best ale I've ever brewed, if I do say so meself."
He pauses. It's unclear if for dramatic effect, or if he momentarily confused himself. "And I do say so meself, methinks," he finally finishes.

Rosé helps the cannons all aimed the right way before loading her own.
