Cynthia was right, they needed to get out of there.  They might be able to fight off the skeletons, but now some variant of sea creature had joined the fray, seemingly assailing the floatsam that they stood on.  In his current, weakened state, with only a rusted sword for a weapon, he was not in any position to fight this beast.

The skeletons were determined to prevent the duo from reaching safety, however.  One of them swung an anchor at the vampire, and two more were coming.  Argus didn't bother trying to parry the anchor- it'd just break his sword.  Instead, he dodged the clumsy swing, then stepped up close and punched the skeleton in the jaw.

When the next skeleton came up, swinging its cutlass at Argus' head, the pirate was ready for this.  He shoved the anchor-wielding skeleton in the sword's path and simultanously ducked as to avoid being struck.  While crouched down, he took the opportunity to wrest the anchor from the skeletal minion's hands and swing it right into the torsos of the two incoming foes before they could ready another blow.

At this point, Argus momentarily considered his next step.  He couldn't escape with the anchor, it was too heavy to take along the path of floatsam before him.  Part of him wanted to drop the anchor on top of the sea monster currently menacing them, giving it a painful lump to remember him by.  The rest of him, however, had a better, more prudent plan.

Argus spun around to build up speed and threw the anchor like a hammer in the direction of their escape- if any skeletons were in the path of the nautical device, they wouldn't be there for long.

[color=889194]"How's that for a path, Miss Cynthia?  Let's go!"[/color]  He took off in the direction of the mast, sword ready to knock aside any undead that hadn't gotten the message to get out of his way.  As he escaped, if any undead in his path happened to possess a pistol, he'd attempt to swipe and holster it- even when running for his un-life, a pirate needed to be opportunistic.
