You make a quick, but rousing speech to the captive crew of the vessel, promising to "slice down" the slavers that have taken you all captive. They seem more interested in quenching their thirst than fighting, but the dozen who have had their turn at the barrel agree to follow you upstairs.
You are now the raven again.
It goes well, at first. The slaves successfully grab the cruelly corpulent drummer, a morbidly obese man who had made a habit of loudly eating his dinner in front of the slaves, and quickly toss him overboard to his death. But then the other pirates quickly notice the commotion and draw their weapons. Many of the captives are cut down by their captors and your apprentice quickly find himself in a fight against the captain of the ship. In one hand he holds a whip and in the other a wickedly sharp dagger. By the look in Kabul's eye, you're certain that both had been used on him as punishment by his masters.
Kabul ducks under the lash and goes to tackle the captain's feet, but the dagger plunges into his side and he is forced away. The wound is not fatal, but another like it may well be! Your apprentice is unarmed and unlikely to survive without a weapon. One of the other slaves has finally managed to crack open the weapons locker with an axe. But what to give him?
