So we got into a fight with two frenchies, took out one, our backup ship is currently chasing the other and we are trying to catch up. The Captain of Marines was KIA

Christian handed supervising the crew to the Boatswain(bosun), and began supervising the gun crews who were cleaning the cannons, some of the men were carrying buckets of water to wash out the blood and pieces of wounded sailors. The carpenter, caulker, and their crews were busying about repairing the ship, pumps were being worked, the sails were being let down, and all was working smoothly.

OOC: About 400 meters, but we're like several miles behind the Minotaur and the French ship.

The Boatswain had started up "Boney" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENSi6QXhLTE) to keep the tempo for the topmen and sailors helping them.
OOC: If I'm allowed to have the Boatswain do that.

OOC: No, I don't think you can. Also 'Boney' didn't exist in 1813. nor did the banjo. that song does not deserve to exist.
"Lower the sails more!" Shouted Carlton " We are 5000 metres behind!"

"Lads, come on! Lower them more!" Carlton shouted
OOC: Shanties were used to keep tempos for the hauling and the like. So the guys hauling around the sails would fall in this category.
IC:
The topmen release the clue lines, and the sails release to their full spread. They are secured and catching the wind.

OOC: a marine can’t just go
Up to the crows nest unless directly ordered to do so.
Also, we may be 4 kilometres away from battle, but we’re still near battle
“William!” Shouted the captain “What the hell are you doing! Get with the marines! NOW!”

OOC: didn't know that, a marine should know the rules so if possible I would like to retcon that.
