Emerging From the Casino

It hadn't seemed dark in the casino, but the blinding light of the day upon the sea made me suddenly aware of my body's complete lack of acclimation to the day. There hadn't been windows inside. Ronnie was asleep in my lap, clearly it hadn't been any better for them on the ship, so bad that Viktor abandoned Ronnie the moment he was free. I didn't have any experience with the sort of trauma that Ronnie experienced, but I knew from my closest approximations that Ronnie would never be the same.
 
Back inside the Casino, crowds of people were recuperating from the battle. Some of them had been in the casino for longer than they'd lived outside of it. I watched from the White Hawk as a constant stream of prisoners ran out of the door; they trampled each other in a desperate instinct to leave, even thought they'd be stuck on the docks until one of the recent arrivals let them onto a ship.
 
Several people rushed towards the ship, one of them climbed over the edge and yelled that he was taking the ship. In an instinctual split second, I eldritch blasted him and pushed him off the edge and into the water. I yelled across the the crowd that the white hawk was not for the taking, but we would be recruiting sailors.
 
Oshiro and his crew decide to hitch a ride with us for 200 gold, so we're gonna take them to Yud'dha. In the distance, a ship starts to leave. In a terrible instant, the maw of a great sea rose up from the ocean and trapped that escaping ship.
 
We took the oppurtunity
