A Dohwar, a Giff, and a Satyr walk into a bar [IC Thread]

[GM Anthraxus]

Rupert upon spotting the ship immediately raises the alarm as he rushes to the balista [OoC: assuming he can't fire the cannon in the phlogistone], "WARE TURTLE SHIP IMBOUND, MANNED BY LIZARD MAN AND HUMANS, AND BEARING NO COLORS!".

[[OOC: Firing the cannon in the flow would be dangerous, but PCs are free to try to do whatever they would like.  ]]

As Rupert raises the alarm, Ashheart blows the alert tone at almost the exact same moment Threadvine comes bursting out of the helmroom on Melville's warning. Rupert, Slick, Annabelle and Cash begin reading the jettison and main catapult for combat.  

Threadvine sights the ship through the telescope he grabbed off the Navigator's station. Even without the scope Rupert, Bazz and Melville can see a lizardman standing in front of the central ballista on the turtle snapping signal flags.  The Turtle ship has stopped relative to the Riposte's position. 

[[OOC: Does anyone know semaphore?]]
