[pnpgm] Update #51 - if Raddok knows...

[Bessie Hadley]

It seems unlikely that Raddok has ever met an elemental cloud, although he's certainly heard of them. If he realizes it in time, he would suggest to the others that they tie themselves, on a lead, to a float-able part of the ship, one of the railings, etc, so that if the cloud succeeds in breaking apart the ship (unlikely, given his talented companions), they can at least float on the sea, and would be much less likely to be tossed overboard from a tossing ship. I assume the sailors will drop the sails asap when wind rises to a certain point. Tied by lines or ropes, shipmates can still move around some to assist the ship or fight (is a sword effective against a cloud?), but not be lost overboard, as they are attached by the line to the ship.

If someone with more experience disagrees, he will listen to their suggestions (if he can hear over rising winds)
