It's a mad dash towards the top deck, stopping only for a brief breather at the stairs. The sounds of water rising, the chill seeping through the floorboards, the creaking of the wood under the pressure strain and the sudden jolts as the weight shifts all serve as an ample reminder that you cannot wait, and that the vessel will soon be below the waterline.

Leaf pokes their head up to get a brief sight of the open air deck of the vessel. It's a dull misty morning, though the chill of the city air is lesser than that of the water below. From their position Leaf can see at least three figures, plus what appears to be a massive floating skull hovering in the air over stairs plank off the ship, though one could still reasonably leap over the rail instead - it might even be preferable at this stage of descent into the water.

The assassin's eyes are all on the opening, and there's a moment of recognition when the archer peaks out.

Hopefully the maps is clear., you're basically all 5-20ft behind leaf down the stairs.

There's nothing to hide behind, and they're watching the opening, so Leaf is spotted as they peak up.
