[OoC: Actually, I believe the conversation with Nang happened the night before. You all slept your 8 hours. Then the Ab-dead chose to attack pre-dawn, just as the sky was just starting to lighten. ]
With Ning's spell cast and silently concentrating on maintaining the illusion and Betimi firing arrows in the closing ship's general direction, Nang asks to use the spy glass. When he looks through the glass he sees many humanoid beings who all look quite pale and dead, scurrying round tending to the ship's functions. There is one ab-dead in particular who looks like the captain of the ship. He is tall with paper thin, desiccated flesh, that clings tightly to his skeletal frame. The dried skin that were once lips are sewn closed with delicate stitching resembling arcane symbols. Glowing yellow eyes lifelessly stare back at the little Kobold through dry slits. Standing beside him is a shorter ab-dead who seems to be yelling orders to the crew. Suddenly an arrow strikes the bow. The shorter humanoid looks to the captain who seem to have no reaction but it nods like it understood some unspoken command. He then moves to the bow of the ship and yanks the arrow out of the wood and returns to the captain's side. It then begins to slowly wave it's hand over the arrow as if it is casting some incantation.
"Betimi," Nang says. "They have one of your arrows and one of them seem to be casting a spell with it. I doubt that will be anything good..."
Meanwhile, downstairs, Tomeal has asked some of the guards to help with donning Selina's armor. "Maybe we should move this upstairs so we can see what's going on while we put you together."
Simon goes upstairs to assess the situation.
[Last night...]
Nang says, "The sword certainly did not act that way when I examined the blade. Perhaps it prefers your alignment or even your deity. Though it would be strange if it were your deity it's reacting to since, Selune doesn't truly exist here."
