Involved: all those currently attempting to save Dougl

Meshtak heaves himself to a standing position, and that is the straw that
breaks the camels back. His lunch comes up and over the side. Fortunately,
Meshtak feels a little better.
He picks up the anchor and tosses it in the air once or twice, to get a feel
for it. "This is pretty light." he says. "I bet I could snag the ship." Meshtak
holds the anchor in one hand and his shiftblade - now in it's crossbow stage-
is in his other hand. He gives the anchor a toss. It flies through the air, 
lands on the Broadmarch...but doesn't catch on anything. Meshtak swears, pulls
the anchor back in, pauses to return some fire against the slavers with his
crossbow (he manages to hit one), then tosses the anchor again. This time, it
smacks against the main cabin and catches on the boats railing. Meshtak secures
the anchor line, and grins to Kron. "How's that?" he asks. "It should be pretty
secure." Then Meshtak turns his shiftblade into a whip, jumps onto the railing,
and with a giant cat bound he sails through the air, bridging the gap between
the Broadmarch and the Morning Breeze. Unfortunately, Meshtak forgets to reckon
with the swaying of a boat at sea - not surprising from a boy from the plains -
and he just manages to catch the railing with one clawed hand. His claws dig
deep into the wood, and as he hauls himself up, Meshtak gazes in apprehension
at the water below him, well aware that he can't swim, and wondering what
stupidity struck him to make him join a battle at sea.
	Meanwhile, a rowboat is approaching the Broadmarch at a furious speed -
at the oars is Thagg, and in the front of the boat sits Scorpion. And he looks
very angry.
