Raye: *rushes to the gun deck to see a tentacle at almost every gun port.* Umm, someone should be firing some cannons... How difficult could it be? *Picks the one closest to her and loads the cannon with a ball and powder, then lights it with a slow match. The cannon goes off and rolls back wards, toward where she was standing, but she was knocked to the side by the blast. Gets up and coughs* Not *cough* hard at all *cough*
*Starts firing more cannons*

Ali: *looks up from where she's carefully pouring as much gunpowder into empty rum bottles as they can hold* Make sure the cannons are properly secured to the hooks on the walls. It'll keep them from flying back so far. How many of these shall I make? The big ones are done, its just smaller hand bombs now.

Raye: Now is not the opportune moment! Wait!
*The opportune moment took five seconds of waiting. Raye didn't know what had triggered it, but soon she saw that the thing was rising. She held the lit slow match in her hand. She didn't want to take any chances. She would wait to light them when she saw the monster rise.*
*It didn't take long. At the first sight of teeth, Raye lit the bombs. But then, as if sensing her, the Kraken openned it's great maw and roared, blowing spit and stink into Raye's face. Raye blinked. *"Eh, I've smelt worse." *Then quick as a flash, Raye threw both bombs, one directly after the other into the creature's mouth. It swallowed them whole, the exact thing that Raye was hoping for. Raye smiled evily. Everything had gone to plan.* "If you get the chance, tell your master this: Never send a cephalpod to do a man's job."
*Two seconds after that, the Kraken exploded.*
*Not from the outside, of course, but you could hear it as the bombs exploded inside it's body, one directly after the other. The Kraken stopped trying to eat her, and, with almost a moan, it drifted out to sea, sinking beneath the waves. Raye didn't dare cheer.* "Is it dead?"
