The storms that night would ensure that Sagax did not get any sleep, sending the boat rocking back and forth. The cracking of lightning came down relentlessly, as if the Divines thought that they could will the ship to make haste with their aetherial whips. He was surprised that no one else was stirring, heavy sleepers indeed! Their rest would not last much longer though. One second Sagax was loitering at the end of the room, but the next it was as if he had been thrown by a Kamal. He was tossed to the side with considerable force, sending him flying to the ground; he didn't really expect such a thing to happen, so needless to say his footing wasn't the surest in that moment. He could hear someone thundering down the stairwell, shouting for everyone to get up, and that they were abandoning [i]The Courtesan[/i]. Sagax could see water beginning to flood the ship, and at a very quick rate.

Great.

Taking no time in grabbing his gear and getting out of that watery death trap, Sagax joined the rest of the ship's inhabitants up on the top deck. The mages were freaking out, silently of course. The limping Breton lad that Sagax chaperoned in place of the Dunmer woman, as she was uninjured, looked like he was about to have a heart attack, he was so frantic. Unfortunately, the mages' inability to remain level headed proved to be their undoing. Before the rest knew it, several of them had jumped into one of the dinghies and launched into the water. They did not last long. Ironically, the Breton's injury would end up saving his life, as he was not nearly quick enough to join his ex-companions. He looked on in horror as his former friends and acquaintances were dragged to the deeps. As much as he knew that their fate was final, it did not stop him from pleading for someone to go down and try to save them. He fell silent when no one proved suicidal enough to try. As the second boat was being filled, Sagax prodded the man along and helped him into it; he was in no state to help with anything, as was obvious from his dead-man's shuffle.

The next person on Sagax's list to shove into the boat was Do'Karth. He knew just how much the cat loathed the waters, and he was probably not that good of a swimmer. Sagax, fortunately, was a good swimmer, and he didn't mind the water, so everything balanced out.

"Do'Karth! If I were you, I'd get on that boat! You would have a much better chance in it than jumping ship into the ocean, I would wager. Besides, I can actually swim." He finished with a cocky grin.
