Success

It'll put silver in your hair

The ship vibrates alarmingly as the cannons unleash their payload on the rocks ahead. You've opened a path, and it cost you nothing more than a few cannon shells and your crew's shattered nerves.


Failure

Vibrating

The gunners' hands are trembly today. The doom lurking in their own hold has put more fear into them than any enemy craft. They hit their marks [...] but the ship shakes and rattles with every shot. And the crew look rather shaky and rattly themselves.
