Back at the skiff hull...
Wen lets fly another--mid air, slo-mo--missile as he leaps backward off the deck to keep as much distance between himself and the incoming worms as possible. It's a deadly shot into the gale force wind, drawing the monstrous worm directly after him, and with scarcely a lead on it Wen decides he had better keep running!
At the same moment Olaf all but throws himself below as Dieter stands fearlessly on the deck with the passage-sized mouth on a pile-driver-worm diving to engulf Olaf... and him and the whole aft of the deck. Dieter gestures an attack, but how does one attack a landslide? It's too late to think about that; the impossible mass of the worm crashes violently onto the deck gouging up all and sundry masts and rails and rigging, in an abysmal din. Dieter is, amazingly, flung aside by the impact rather than swallowed!
Below deck, our nervous crew have barely a moment to pull Olaf in before there is a most horrific earth quake! The entire boat is shaken like a child's toy, and everyone inside is toppled helplessly about. A dozen beam and rafters are split, and a score or more decking planks are ripped free as the worm tractors overhead, but the hull isn't completely sundered yet.
But it is moving! And quickLEEEEEEYY!!
Dieter hits the sand amid the din and rolls to his knees. The wind and sand are spitting fierce in his face again, and the din is immense. The tail-part of the huge worm is still passing by some dozen feet away, punishing the skiff--which is sliding down into a giant sinkhole-tunnel left behind the worm! Matter of fact, the sand is running out from under Dieter too! The whole battlesite is sinking down into the sand-canyons burrowed out by the worms!
Wen's shot 1d20=16 hits for 1d6=6! damage, pulling the worm at him for sure.
At the point of impact, initiative is checked: 1d6; Dieter=6+1, worm=1.
Dieter attacks 1d20=1, miss.
Worm attacks 1d20=8, hits AC 3 by 2 pips, so a hit but not enough to swallow. 2d6=10 hit points damage, so Dieter is down to 4 hp.
The ref decides the skiff itself has 2 hull dice (larger than a "boat" but smaller than a galley), and rolls them up: 2d6=11! So she was a capable little craft when Olaf first commandeered her. The initial crash landing caused 2d6=4 damage; not enough to genuinely scuttle her. Now this latest worm battering does a further 2d6=7 damage so the ship is ruined insofar as air-worthiness goes, but let us suppose the hull itself can sustain as much damage again before being totally destroyed.
