The sudden dimensional lurching throws Lissa off for less then a second, with the spell pulling her back into the here and now. "Wait, fighting someone that controls water in a downpour was your plan?" Lissa cries out as the deluge briefly abandons falling down and instead 'falls' to the flying kineticist. She grasps an edge of the curtain of water around her like a cloak, before channeling the mass to the deck in front of Sempet. Drug along the swirl of water, she lands, and thrusts the thick frozen dagger that she formed at Sempet, before causing the dagger to sprout frozen spikes all along it's length. "What a fool..., She mutters, as a trickle of blood runs from her nose from the raw exertion that she just performed.

Setare and Fahd are slowed by the spell...
Sparky remains afloat, lashing toward the boat in the choppy seas and Gaylth flies forward to find his flank again. Lissa soars forward too, her icy bade tearing into the pirate ghoul. The group stalls for Victoria and she casts haste to free Setare and Fahd from the slowing magic and to quicken the others as well. Vermin rips into Sempet, as do the refreshed Fahd and Setare, and Sevenfingers drops to the deck one last time, his immortal energies drained from him along with any plans for further glory.
As his undead body crinkles and pops as the animating forces depart, the signet ring upon his finger turns immediately to dust. The Voracious turns upon the violent waves as your group reaches for railings and ropes to secure your footing.

You quickly pull Sparky to safety from the wild sea. A few more minutes pass as you try to reckon the ship and you can see upon the stormy horizon another great vessel. It is the Grinning Pixie and a visibly excited Calisro Benarry rushes to board the Voracious to join you.
"Ay, this must have been a thrilling success, Pathfinders! And since you have bested the former captain on the open seas..." the Venture Captain turns into the wind to proclaim to the churning ocean"...I officially claim the Voracious for the Pathfinder Society!"
A contingent of her crew boards the Voracious to help you get it under control and the two ships head to the nearby Gloomspires to refit for the journey out of the Eye of Abendego and back to Absalom.

With the fighting ended, Galyth put his swords away. The sight of Captain Benarry was welcome, but the whole escapade left his vaguely unsettled. The Society had fended off the denizens of the Gloomspires and competitors alike for this victory, but there were far fewer answers to be found than he'd hoped. At least they'd saved the Inner Sea from some twit of an ancient wizard.
That wouldn't put the specters he'd seen to rest, but it would be enough for now.
