"She's in the hold, Please dont kill us!"

Enego burst out laughing, "HEHEHEHEHE, Run little cowardsss and maybe you'll live to sssee another dawn!" and with a crack he vanished.

The scene was pandemonium, the ship had been disabled, the main mast had lost all its sheets and the foremast was smashed, the Bridge was ablaze and sailors were scrambling from the lower decks. Some of demons had landed onto the main deck and were attacking anything that moved, the rest were hovering overhead or pearched on the remaoning masts like gruesome mockerys of crows. Several of the loading dockmen had jumped overboard and some had ran down the dock into the city, the sailors on the other hand had fared better and had started fighting off the demon's with hatchets, swords, crossbows, longbows and the odd harpoon.

Thomas paused to pour the sanctuary potion over his head before runing across the burning ship's deck to Gilford who was having trouble with a particually ticked off demon that was grappling with him for control of Gilford's Greatsword, its friend had been knocked overboard and was now floating face down. Taking advantage of the demon's distraction Thomas circled behind the beast, "Gilford get away!". Obeying Gilford let go of the sword and stumbled back, Thomas drew Essa and plunged the holy sword into the demon's back. It screamed and started to flail, electricity coursed through its body as it spasimed and little bolts jumped between it's claws. Thomas wrenched his sword free and the demon collapsed onto a luckless sailor and lay twitching. Gilford walked over, pulled his sword from the demon's claws and with a flourish decapitated the beast.

Thomas grinned at the knight "They dont seem so tough."

Gilford shrugged "Well if they're not so tough maybe you can kill them before this ship burns completely"

"I think that problem's being solved for us."

Gilford turned to look at where Thomas staring and saw the Weather Wizard they had hired an hour ago standing on the for-castle, one arm outsretched with a staff in hand the other pouring a potion over his head. One of the potion crates was lying open at his feet.

"How do you like this you imp pansys!" The wizard cried and with that a great black cloud appeared over the entire dock pouring rain and lighting onto the ship, putting out the fires quickly and frying some of the demons.

"Wahey! I havent felt this good in years!" cried the wizard "Taste Bugsby's Crushing hand you spineless squits!"

Thomas turned to Gilford, "He seems to have things under control."

"Money well spent?"

A demon swooped down from the sky and made to strafe at thomas but was stopped an inch from taking his head off by a great celestial hand that proceeded to squash the demon into literal paste.

"Oh yes. Pity about the ship."

"What happened to that man with the winged helmet you were fighting?"

"I'm not sure I think he might be below deck searching through the crates."

As if on cue Enego appeared on deck with a Crack.

"Oh, there he is."
