[IRP] Return to the Dread Isle

[Alusq]

Renata barely had time to be shocked by the spectacle of Lennox's encounter with some would-be mutineers before arriving at Tiras's side to help with the lifeboat. Powered by adrenaline, she somehow managed to push her side of the boat over the ship's railing... and then there was barely time to confirm that the boat had landed right side up before Raye plummeted into the water nearby. With a quick nod to Tiras, Renata vaulted over the railing with the rope, tumbling off the ship unceremoniously as her muscles disagreed with the dramatic leap she'd attempted...

When had she last gone swimming?
She couldn't remember.

The idle realization hung in Renata's head as she felt her stomach lurch just in time for the ocean to reach up and smack her square in the face. Her boots and her pack dragged her down as if they had doubled in weight; the only thing keeping her up was her arm lurching up over the side of the dinghy, wrist burned from the rope wrapped around it. Her other arm grabbed onto Raye's, and with Renata's lack of the wisdom that one should be prepared to bear someone's weight if they are to save the person from drowning, the dinghy began to tip into the air almost as dramatically as the sinking ship was already.
