Very calmly he'd walk over to one of the low hanging cross-beams and slowly, methodically, and rhythmically begin thumping his head against the stout wood timber "Of COURSE she is. Perfect sense. Save her priestess from being raped by a guy who isn't even here, save her temple from being sacked and she's mad. You get up in the morning and you sacrifice to the gods and what do you get? Looking over to Nikkas he'd nod, then shake his head
"No, we can't just throw the temple goods into the sea, that's SURE to irritate if not her, than then rest of them. We can't be far from an island, we can go ashore, unload the boat and sacrifice it to her if she wants it. I'm sure we can manage to ... acquire... a cargo vessel out here without too much trouble. It doesn't have the honour of sailing home on a war ship..." here he'd glance over at the twins, arching an eyebrow "...but it gets us home alive. And I'll have you know that Sparta has one of the best schools for the Comedic in the world."
Now IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIm a BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER!
NOT A TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE...

Cassandra blinks in disbelief that someone - anyone - is taking her seriously. Then she shakes her head and gets to work.
It's the people, not the artifacts, and a storm has collateral damage. If we can make landfall fast enough we can wait it out, but...
On deck, you hear sailors shouting maneuvers with the sails that imply a change in the weather has begun.

The Amazonians make it below deck to hear the planning. Chryseis lets out a loud sigh.
Zeus has thunderbolts and Athena's his daughter. If she's really that mad shell just call in a favor for precision strikes. Why fluster the crew and waste resources to delay their homecoming even more?

"It must be better than sitting in the middle of Her wrath manifested, with no shelter and only the cold depths to greet us," Nikias says, hurrying back up top of the ship. He starts commanding his men to change course and search for any spot of nearby land that might harbor them.

'When you lead with anger, you don't necessarily think of the best way of revenge. Just how to get it.' Iantha furrows her brow.
'The weather is changing Athena or not we need to move. Let's get through this then figure out why' She claps her fellow amazon on her shoulder before going to follow Nikias up on deck.
'Tell us what we need to do.'

Nikias spots an island in the distance. It's somewhat to the north, but considering the oracle's warning, it's worth the diversion. Under good conditions, your men would be able to make it in about half an hour. Yet even as the island grows on the horizon, storm clouds boil in the sky. The regular crew of the ship - at least, what survived the war - handles her well, all things considered. But soon enough, the sheet-like rain and the bucking waves make it difficult for even the most experienced sailors to keep steady.

Well, there was work to be done, and the scout had a job to do. Slipping a pair of the strange trojan gold coins between his teeth he'd set back to the sail, hands and feet trying to gain a sure enough grip to let him keep an eye through the stinging rain and tossing waves to navigate a path to a safe... er harbour.

Steady.....Steady.....
The island grows closer, and you're minutes away from starting landing procedures. The roar of the storm barely covers a guttral screech from below, but you certainly hear the poor deck hand who's snatched into the air! One dark tentacle grabs him by the waist, three more clutch the side of the ship, and a final three swat at the deck looking for more victims. The hit to the ship knocks Iantha off her feet. In a flash of lightning you see the purplish creature has hooked limbs and cold blue eyes, stretching a solid ten feet in length.

Hitting the ground Iantha grimaces. It quickly turns into a grin as she sees the creature rise up. This was the sort of fight she was looking for.
She pushes herself up and calls out to the creature. 'You have made a mistake picking this oat. Be prepared for the might of the Amazons.'
'Don't panic you' ll get picked off. Group together and watch each others backs for Tentacles. ' She yells out to the crew who can hear her.

Swift for Challenge, move to stand up, and standard for Tactician to give everyone within 30ft escape route. Realised may be awkward to track of more theatre of the mind... [ +- ] Level 1 Cavalier Ability: Challenge (2/day)
Once per day, a cavalier can challenge a foe to combat. As a swift action, the cavalier chooses one target within sight to challenge. The cavalier’s melee attacks deal extra damage whenever the attacks are made against the target of his challenge. This extra damage is equal to the cavalier’s level. The cavalier can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day for every three levels beyond 1st, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.
Challenging a foe requires much of the cavalier’s concentration. The cavalier takes a –2 penalty to his Armor Class, except against attacks made by the target of his challenge.
The challenge remains in effect until the target is dead or unconscious or until the combat ends. Each cavalier’s challenge also includes another effect which is listed in the section describing the cavalier’s order.

[ +- ] Level 1 Cavalier Ability: Tactician (2/day)
At 1st level, a cavalier receives a teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat. As a standard action, the cavalier can grant this feat to all allies within 30 feet who can see and hear him. Allies retain the use of this bonus feat for 3 rounds plus 1 round for every two levels the cavalier possesses. Allies do not need to meet the prerequisites of these bonus feats. The cavalier can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter.
[ +- ] Level 1 Teamwork Feat: Escape Route
An ally who also has this feat provokes no attacks of opportunity for moving through squares adjacent to you or within your space.

Looking down from the mast was... not a great improvement. The rain and wind would make firing his bow a danger to his crew as well so he'd simply shimmy to the edge of the spar, look down at the great beast and yell in his best command voice "Oy! YOU! No! NOT FOOD!"
