Dreams adds, "Even if you don't need our help, I, for one, am curious to see the rest of your ship." Which is true. She's also eager to end this charade and get to the fight, but she also knows the longer they play out the game, however uncomfortable that makes her, the more intelligence they might gather. And she also isn't comfortable attacking first when Poltur has not made an overtly hostile move against them.

Torias just listens, observes and tries to assess the man and his intentions. To be ready, he has his hand on his human-bane axe, not the big glowing one. He follows the others, ready for anything.

The deck of this ship is completely bare under the flickering supernatural lights attached to the mast, with shadow-nets cast through the rigging dancing across the planks. Two hatches, each with a steep ladder, stand open to the hold below.

"Yes, please." Poltur motions at Dreams, "Lady's first, never let it be said I'm not a gentlemen." He opens the heavy grate that covers the deck and leads to a ladder that drops down into the hold of the ship. "If you don't mind, I'll follow down. My things are in the bow of the hold, should be easy enough to find, a bag and such." As you make your way down the ladder you can see the majority of the ship’s interior is a single empty cargo compartment, broken only by two rows of thick stanchions and a ropeless windlass in the center of the deck. Six more continual light spells cast on the ship’s beams
illuminate the entirety of the hold.

Dreams cautiously makes her way down the ladder and tests the floor with her feet, before fully stepping off the ladder. She then steps away from it and peers around, trying to make out as much as possible.

The former soldier has a bad taste in his mouth, feeling like he's walking voluntarily into a trap of his own devising. While he is expecting some sort of ambush, which to a certain extent removes the power of that surprise, he doesn't have enough details to truly know how to evade whatever is coming. "If you only need to grab one bag, it sounds like you are a man who thinks ahead, prepping a single pack to take and run if the opportunity presents itself. And who knows? If we clear out this monster infestation, we may be able to get your proud ship out of here too. Would be a shame to abandon this Lady."

Torias follows, but he says nothing and stays back, ready to do some prayer or cast a spell. He is nervous and wary.

As you reach the floor of the hold, Poltur laughs, "You fools!" He slams the heavy grate that covers the ladder closed. You can see his sneering face through the cross bar pattern of the hatch door. "You've fallen right into my trap! Mauahahah!" He laughs, like some cliche and then slides a bar through the latch, 'locking' you down there before he darts out of sight.

Toras climbs back up the ladder and pushes on the hatch it is firmly held in place and will take some effort to open from this side if only you had some time. But time is not on your side, not right at the moment.

At that moment Dreams notices sticking out from around back of some crates on the floor in the light of the continual flame spells a boot. She moves and turns the corner to see four mutilated Thralls splayed out all about the hold. It only take a glance to realize they have been ripped to pieces by some large predator with many teeth.

Nate catches something from the corner of his eye move in the shadows of the hold. It passes from the shadowy area into the bright light of the continual flame spells. His hackles are up.

Its too late however, a massive hellcat leaps out of nowhere, appearing from thin air, and pounces on Lineos. The Tengu is taken utterly by surprise, and the huge cat like beast clamps down on his neck and with a single powerful twist snaps Lineos' neck killing the bird man just like that! The cat toys with Lineos' corpse a moment shaking it side to side before it tosses it up against the hull with a sickening thud.

The battle for life or death is on even as the Hellcat is fading from view once more.

Dreams curses herself mentally for walking into such an obvious trap, then pushes the thought aside to deal with their attacker. She draws her sword and calls out, "Junil and Lugus, guide my hand!" then strikes at the hell cat with all her might.

Nate tries to back up against the hull wall, taking whatever feet or inches he can to separate from the monster. The cat creature is very disconcerting, with what might be blue flames? Blue lightning? Well, blue whatever coming off him. He tries to aim carefully for the head, rather than just randomly filling it with bullets. It's probably got a lot of flesh to absorb blows. Even he can slow it down or confused it in some way, he can limit its ability to kill the rest of them.

Dreams leaps to the attack, her blade flashes in her hand in an instant at the fading Hellcat, for it seems to be slowly vanishing into the light. Her blade however slices across its throat in a perfect kill shot. The curve of the blade opens up its neck in a long bloody slice. Its gory, too gory, and Toiras and Nate pause at the sheer efficiency of Dream's murder blow. She spins and comes at it with a backhand that finishes what the forehand almost did on its own. With a loud crash the head of the hellcat hits the ground as she decapitates it with the second blow!

Just like that the enemy is dead.
