Gregor stared at the red sail on the horizon. "A ship from the Arbor? One of Lord Redwyne's fleet perhaps?" He searched the recesses of his mind to recall some snippet of knowledge regarding the significance of a red sail.

Zach climbs the mast a bit and peers out towards the ship. "The only red in Redwyne is just the name, I believe they hve a blue field. Let's raise the Hightower flag up the mast so they don't think us pirates."

"Can you make out anything else about the ship?" Gregor called to Zach

The ship draws nearer, its angle changing to met theirs. The sail is blood red, and carries no sigil.

"Well this doesn't look good." Zach states as the ship shows its intention. "One of you check to see if we have any weapons on board. At least a crossbow for Gregor!"
Zach climbs a bit higher on the mast to see if he can make out if there are any archers on the red sailed ship.

There are men who seem armed.

Zach's stomach is in knots when he gazes apon the armed men. "I honestly have no idea what that blood red sail means, but by the look of the men that appear to be armed on that ship I can only imagine one thing."

"We can bloody well try." Brandons muscles screamed with fatigue but he ignored it. "Now Gregor row." The Valemen yelled.

"The three of us outrun a fully manned ship? Here's one to positivity." Zach runs over to join Brandon in rowing. "All of us on one side, Hard to Starboard and we'll turn around as quickly as we can."

Gregor joined the others on the rowing benches pulling for all he was worth.

The red sailed ship steadily gained ground.

Gregor scanned the horizon looking for land. "Perhaps we can try to get to shallower water where they cannot sail?" Gregor said hopeful that it was possible.

"We're on a small galley but it's a war galley none the less, I doubt we'll be able to accomplish that." Zach ponders Gregor's comment for a moment though. "But if they are not under rowing power we could try to get to a cove where the wind is low or nonexistent!"
Zach climbs the mast again to check if the boat has oars or not.
