One roll for the whole shebang

Peregrine had seen the ship from far off in the distance. It was one of those rare occasions where she was able to keep her focus on one thing long enough to carve a hard line towards it. She only got distracted like, four times. Tsiry was showering her in sarcastic congratulatory remarks and did not notice at first when Peregrine stopped and lifted her snout into the wind. The vessel stood before them, far enough north to still be trapped in ice. Apart from the smell of bitter cold and rusting metal, she caught the faint scents of something edible, yet not exactly... fresh. She had never come across it's likeness before. Intrigued she pressed onward, taking a long moment to figure out how exactly she might clamber aboard. Once on deck she paused, trying to get her bearings and trying to figure out where on earth that scent was coming from! A free meal was a free meal, after all. It is luck and luck alone that stayed her paws, for had she taken one step further death would have been a likely outcome. Instead, she heard the woosh of something moving quickly through the air but had only a heartbeat to wonder What the hell is- CLANG!!
The ringing sound of metal crashing against metal scared at least three years of life right out of her. Scant inches from her nose some... some thing had fallen from the sky only to be dashed to pieces against the deck below. What Peregrine could not identify as a can burst under pressure and it's contents exploded outwards. Something foul smelling and sticky coated her fur, globs of goop sticking to her face, limbs, and chest. It smelled like a horrible mockery of some sort of legume, but it was no honest earthly edible that she'd ever encountered before. Pere backpedaled and snarled in surprised at the unexpected attack. "What in god's green fuck was that?" she cursed, still unsuspecting of anyone or anything other than the the cruelty of the gods. Tsiry had sprang away from her in the instant of the assault and cowered farther back onto the deck. She took one look at whatever covered Peregrine's fur and dropped to the deck, consumed by her laughter.
