Swamped

It looks like they were taking a cannon somewhere. You're going to have to check on where that order came from, but it's not your most immediate concern.

But the cannon is a useful obstacle. You rush to the other side and push it, wheeling it towards the staircase. The ship suddenly moves up, and the cannon goes flying, colliding with Lou as the ship moves down again.

You were, of course, running, even as you were glancing back to check on the cannon's course. Which means your momentum went a little bit out of control as the ship moved. You seem to have landed on someone; you issue a quick apology as you get up, without having time to check who it is.

Overall, that seems to have helped you more than hindered. Even if the cannon didn't hurt Lou, it should have kept him from being pushed forward the way you were. So you've bought yourself a good deal of distance. Hopefully, that will give you a chance to find some sailors who can actually help you. And maybe figure out what that damned noise is. You can still hear it just a little bit amidst the sound of a squawking gull.

Next to that, hearing Wiz's voice in your head is almost a relief, even as he gives you some unpleasant news.
