A strong downpour of rain, punctuated by the occasional clap of thunder and lightning, stirs you in the night as the ship is rocked by a large wave. The sound of creaking and snapping leads to a spray of splinters as the boat is assaulted by another huge wave. All around you is the sound of panicked shouting as others begin to realize the severity of the situation. The storm is ripping your boat apart. You find yourselves washing up ashore on a sandy beach. The weather is still harsh, but the ground beneath your feet is a touch more comforting than the deadly abyss of the ocean. You see others crawling up the beach with you, while behind the massive waves roil and crash against the reef. You realize you'll need to collect who or what you can and build suitable shelter if everyone is going to survive the night.
