[The Bloody Bay Fleet]

The Blades on the ships drew their Chasing poles and plunged them into the seas. The cries of the smaller serpents could be heard as they drew forth their prizes. The songbirds and galleys tried to move out from the grasp of the sea serpent, and make room for the seafangs and Chasers. Bolts from Ironboughs and Chaser ballistae hurtled at the massive serpent. 

The Sunderer, with the Bosun at the helm, turned to face the massive beast in the seas. "Men! Fire at that damned beast!" Aelfric Royce bellowed, not needing a whistle to speak clearly in the chaos. Again, massive ballistae bolts hurtled through the sky to strike the serpent.
