[Aaron Clausen]

> Arden glares at the two men. "I suggest you stand down, children. If

> I have to put my lady friend on the cold, hard ground, you will
> really regret your actions towards me and my friends. Now, I suggest

> [/Arden]

> [Lady Frost]
> With a small sigh Frost lifts her arms as if to surrender, but 
> swiftly reaches forward instead and grabs for the men's guns to bend
> the barrels down, making them useless. "If you had orders to shoot,
> you shouldn't have stopped to talk."
> 
> Looking back to Arden, "You're not very good at this, are you?"
> [/Lady Frost]

The men just look in shock, and then run away.  In short order, however,
they are replaced by firing.  A number of men up in the rigging are
firing at Arden and Lady Frost.  One shot is nearly close enough to part
Arden's hair.

Suddenly, off to their right, Arden and Lady Frost see one of the
sailors skyrocket into the air, well over a hundred feet, and come
falling down again, crumpling on the deck.  Now the deck is in an
uproar.  Several men, some in body armor, some not, start running
towards Lady Frost and Arden aiming energy rifles as they approach.
