Afraid that moving the barrels of gunpowder this time would arouse suspicion, she decided that if she was going to ignite them, they would have to be ignited where they stood. Her only hope was that it wouldn't cause damage to the bounty. So, she made the trail of gunpowder leading towards the barrels. Before lighting the black powder aflame, she made sure to move the man she had knocked out, out of harm's way. There was no reason for casualties tonight... the elf thought as she lit the trail with a match.
She was in hiding with quick access to the stairs. There was no way the pirates would think she wasn't at fault, even if she came up with some excuse like the mage was using an invisibility spell. The scorched trail was leaving from the place where the scarred man laid unconscious. Of course it was her.
Once the pirates filed down, she made her escape. The captain was not among them, so she burst into his quarters. "Captain, there was an explosion in the ship!"
"Bloody hell." He rushed to the source of the chaos, leaving the bounty unattended. She grabbed the loot that had been stolen and went to find the escape dinghy... Only to find her explosion was very inconveniently placed. The front end was blasted to pieces and a fire was spreading across the wood. She frantically looked to see what else she could do, but to her dismay, some pirates had resurfaced. They saw her with the bounty. They knew she was the mage. She had to think fast.
Hoping her water powers would save her, she jumped off the boat. She let the magic flow to the soles of her feet. Her eyes squeezed shut as she fell, but then, there was no splash. She did not feel her body become submerged in the water. When she opened her eyes, she was standing. She took a step forward and she still remained afloat. She could walk on water.
Treasure in hand, Atani sprinted as fast as she could from the pirate ship. She didn't look back as it burned in the distance. She had stolen goods to return.
