At last the time came. Night settled darkened the cabin, the shadows lengthened. The corsairs grew tired of casting dice and went into their cups. Some began to snore as the alchohal took effect. Corwin, bonds loosened, shifted and scooted toward the blindfolded girl. Carefully concealing his hands, he removed the blindfold and looked into her eyes. "We must be quick..." He whispered. He glanced back at the Corsairs , some drinking, others fast asleep upon the table. Stealthly gliding across to the shadows behind one of them, he glanced at Earenion and carefully mouthed "Cuff them on three."

Laowyn, free of her bonds and ready for the attack, watched Corwin and Earenion carefully. Her eyes were bright with the want for escape - she had never been fond of the sea and yearned to stand on dry land again and to be free of these foul creatures that had captured her. She followed Corwin to the Corsairs, gliding as silently as a shadow, and prepared to bind them.

Her bonds undone, Arva rose and padded over silently with the others.

The group stalked in the shadows toward the unsuspecting corsairs. Corwin reached it first followed by Laowyn then himself. The gagged them then binded them with their own ropes. When he looked around all the corsairs on deck were bound and gagged, shock in their eyes along with fear. Earenion quickly grabbed his longbow, quiver, and sword and strapped them on. He strung his bow and knocked an arrow. He whispered, "I'm going down to see what I can find. Its easier by myself than with all of you. If I'm not back soon feel free to come. I may need rescuing." He motioned the others to stay and moved ahead to the door leading down into the deck. He could hear hoarse laughing and smell the stench of alcohol. He tiptoed carefully down the steps and closed the door behind him. Even if he stomped down them he doubted they could hear him. He traveled along until he reached a corner. He peered down the corner and thankfully the lone corsair that stepped out of the room had his back turned. Earenion aimed his bow and let go. The arrow flew true going into the back of the corsairs head and he dropped against the wall. Earenion quickly took the arrow and the corsair into the room he stepped out of. It was a cabin of some sort. He threw the corpse in the corner and peered out from behind the frame. He could see shadows dancing and men laughing merrily. He stealthily walked down there and knocking another arrow shot it into the eye of a corsair on the other side of the room. All the corsairs stopped at once and drew crude cutlasses and charged at the intruder. Before they had gone one step another arrow had killed another corsair. He retreated down the hallway shooting off arrows into the pursuing corsairs. Man there were alot. Earenion felt the wall to his back and with the last arrow he drew his sword and parried the first cutlass and stabbed the corsair behind. He shoved the first body into the others and that slowed them down. The hatch opened and somebody was coming down. He spun around the corner and the blade had stopped inches from Corwin's neck. He turned the blood stained blade from his neck. "That was close." was all Earenion said.
Psst: sorry if i'm moving the storyline too far tell me if i'm doing something wrong.

Corwin had his sword belted at his side and his Mandola upon his back. He snorted. "I see you've been busy," he said, noting the blood on Earenion's blade. " I hope you have left a few?" He looked around at the bodies and to the Corsairs who had retreated into an ajoining room. He sighed, "I guess not." He looked back up the hatch. "Apparently our friend here has mopped up quite efficeintly..." He called up. He lifted his hands and helped Laowyn and Arva down into the hallway. Turning to Earenion, he smiled. "Dost thou dance the dance of death? Come ! Come! We shall teach one another a few steps." He drew is sword and charged down the hall, yelling "A tul n ninye!" (Come to me!)

"Megil amin na-gurtha!" (sorry if my grammar is horrible) (My sword is death.) Arva shouted, sword in one hand, dagger in the other.

The first corsair fell, his skull cleaved in two. Corwin shook the body from his sword and raised it just in time to block the next swing from the Corsair's companion. He clenched his teeth as another corsair hit him in the leg with a club. Another blow sent him crashing to the ground. He raised his sword and stabbed the clubman through the Abdomen, but was hard-pressed to defend himself from the other two.

A slim blade sprouted from the chest of one of the corsair's- Arva's sword. She braced her foot against his back and pulled it out, forcing him to fall as she did so. The other corsair still was attacking Corwin, so she jumped on his back and slit his throat with her dagger.

Elenanna had gotten her sword back, and she saw a Corsair. She blocked his sword, and pushed him back. He growled and lunged at her, but she drove her sword into his stomach. She tipped her sword down and he slid off, and fell to the ground, dead. She turned and brought her sword up.

Through the heavy melee, Earenion stood back and shot arrow after arrow into the fray. Eventually he ran out and began to join the melee taking over for Corwin who's leg was bleeding. The corsairs fell one after another as the blades of Arva, Elannana, and Earenion cut through flesh and sinew. Through the narrow corridor the 4 of them pushed through and eventually reached the dining section of the ship. There were still great a many left about 20 or so. Cautiously he walked in sword ready and the others followed. The Corsairs cursed in the tounge of shadow and jumped on the group. Back to back to back to back they fought slicing at any corsair who chose to venture too close. The 4 of them began to tire and it was shown clearly. The corsairs seemed not to lose any energy at all. Bodies littered the corridor and the dining room and the corsairs looked on them as Sauron loooked upon the free peoples of Middle Earth. The Corsairs screamed a last war cry and threw themselves among the former captives.

Arva's sword and dagger flashed even more rapidly, if that was possible, driving home with deadly, punishing force. The corsairs fell under her blades.

Marawyn strung her bow killing 1,2,and then 3 corsairs. She then put two arrows in her bow at once and killed two more, and then ran to defend everyone.

"For Anoriel." Arva whispered as she stabbed a corsair. "And for Maltariel." as she stabbed another. She continued fighting. "And for Dovariel and Ohtarwen and Vanyaohtar and Lintemegil and Silivren and Elbereth!"
