Voitrach snapped out of it. Being introverted right now has next to no chance of actually helping with anything. He needed to consider what just happened, then act on it. That was what he had to to. Yes indeed.
So what actually had happened there? Loran had, it seemed, filled a ship with gunpowder. He assumed it was Loran - he hadn't actually seen anyone there, but something must have set that explosion off. Loran waits for him to appear, then assumedly leaves? And then when he comes back down, explosion. Possibly some sort of fuse? Whatever it was, his opponent was crafty. Voitrach needed to meet him in a straight fight. Or at least, one that Loran hadn't prepared for.
At that point, a thought occurred to him. Boats. They were on boats. Boats are pretty complex things. Someone or something must have made them. That meant other intelligent life. That meant potential recruits for fighting Loran, as well as, more importantly, people who know all the tricks of this area. Like those big, metal barrels, for instance. They must be there for a reason. All Voitrach had to do was find them first. And what better way to find other people by sending out a signal? Thinking quickly, Voitrach climbed to the top of the mast and jumped. As he reached the peak of his jump, he applied some of his power to keeping him up there and with his (relatively) newly-made voicebox yelled "HEY! Are any survivors around? If so, indicate your position!" With that, he let go and landed with a loud crack on the deck.
