Aug. 7th, 2006 10:50 amThe deck of the Black Pearl is full of activity as the crew hastens about, making ready to set sail. Whether hauling lines or hoisting sails, securing the longboats or tying down nets, everyone has work to do and is busily seeing to it.
Everyone, that is, save Will Turner, who is still lying unconscious on the deck.

His finger tightens on the trigger.
The explosion shatters the air with sound and flame and shakes the Black Pearl under them. Large pieces of the kraken's tentacles fall smoking to the deck as it flails wildly about, seeking escape.
Wounded and burning, the creature lets out an unearthly moan as it sinks back into the depths.
