After heading down the stairs to the ship's upper deck, a Breton woman ran in front of Sharee to take point, which was perfectly fine by her. She had no problems letting one of her allies jump in front of the enemies' blades in her stead. Kayal and some other recruits were close behind, and at least initially, they seemed to be performing fairly well. Sharee would have liked to just let them do all the work, but they needed to clear the ship quickly, and there was still the entire lower deck to deal with. 

"You two take over up here." Sharee ordered, pointing to Kayal and the Breton. "I'm going to clear out the lower deck."

The staircase going down to the lower deck was located directly next to the one leading up above decks, and as she passed, she saw another group of her recruits heading down from above. She pointed to them, then motioned for them to follow her. "Follow me, we're heading down to the bottom deck." She commanded, not even bothering to stop and wait before heading down the staircase. Just as she was heading down, one of the enemy guards was rushing up as well. He was obviously caught off-guard, as Sharee was able to kick him in the face before he could raise his blade, causing him to tumble back down the stairs until he came to rest at their base. His own sword sliced up his arm as he fell, so it was easy enough for Sharee to plunge her blade into his chest to finish him off. His friend behind him, however, was another matter, The Dunmer woman wasn't armored like the rest of the guards they had encountered, indicating that she was perhaps one of the regular sailors, but she was armed and fighting back. Sharee was able to reach up with her parrying blade, the dagger in her left hand, to block the strike easily enough, but since her shortsword was still in the chest of the guard at her feet, she wasn't able to follow through quickly with a response. Fortunately, one of the recruits behind her had sense enough to move beside her and strike at the Dunmer with his axe. She dashed back to evade, but by that point, Sharee had already pulled her blade from the guard's corpse and was able to bury it into the Dunmer's neck to finish her quickly. 

At the end of the hall just ahead, Sharee could see more guards, but this time, they were actually organized. There were five of them, all armed an armored. Two had shields and longswords and were up front, while the other three were in the back with standard Imperial swords. None seemed to have any ranged weapons, but in the tight and narrow halls of the ship, they wouldn't be that useful anyway. Since they weren't in utter disarray, this fight could prove to be a bit more difficult.
