Adventure: Lord Byron's High-Seas High-Stakes (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

[sblock=ooc]Oh no! I just realized, the pirate that Carolina knocked off the boat was WEARING MY TREASURE!!!

Quick, turn this ship around! Somebody get a net! [/sblock]
"Truce? Ha! We'll not let you escape to continue with your evil ways!" Hergunna studies Smargat closely, then lets fly with another thorn whip. But the captain deflects it with his chain. The druid shakes her head, then drops to all fours and takes wolf form once more.

[sblock=ooc]Ok, Wil's action was to attack the archer on the pirate ship if he could have pulled him off, the archer on our ship otherwise. If he hit the one on our ship, that would have dropped him.

If he didn't hit and drop that one, I'd rather have Hergunna attack the wounded archer instead of the captain. But I'm going to guess the other guy wasn't pullable, so I'll write this as an attack on the captain.

(And of course I missed anyway. Rolled a 9 this time at least - would have hit the archer but for the dim light.)[/sblock]
On the other boat, the great white wolf snaps at the archer it has cornered, but the rocking of the boat has disoriented it, and the attack is feeble.

[sblock=Wolf note (Tenchuu)]You still had the wolf at L23 but he moved to K24 (adjacent to the archer) with his instinctive action last round. (Too bad he doesn't get opportunity attacks!)[/sblock]

"What is truce? Kane no hear this word." the bugbear says, as he barely keeps his feet, but seeing his allies attacking the enemies, he says "Oh... it fancy word for keep fighting. Ok, Kane know now... ok Truce time!" he shouts as he buries his axe in the quartermaster's chest, he wrenches the weapon free with a howl of delight, arterial blood spraying over him.

He then steps close to the archer, "Ok truce for you too" as he clips the human with his other axe.

Carolina resumes her hidden assault on the pirate leader. She tosses her dagger across the ship and adds another hole to the man. Finally, she abandons her hiding place and moves toward the bow.

"Or you could just give it up," she says with a playful smile as her dagger returns to her hand.

The Archer at the bow of the ship panicked as Kane drew near. He raised his crossbow to fire, but Kane acted first, crushing the pirate's skull with his war axe. Spinning on his feet, the barbarian repositioned himself on the other side of the captain, adding another wound to the old man.

"Damn you," The Captain muttered, making to whip his chains against Kane.

"Kane! Duck!" Wil shouted, letting an arrow fly loose, aiming for the captain's face. But the wind pushed the arrow slightly, and instead the arrow pierced the Pirate leader's ear. As the captain wailed in pain, Wil shouted, "Now!"

Kane stepped into a horizontal cleave which cut the captain's head clean off. It sailed through the air, hitting the rail, and tumbling over the side of the ship. The captain's body fell slump at the Half-Orc's feet.

On the pirate ship, the remaining archer fired again, targeting the Wolf and Kane. Both attacks were true, and deadly, dropping both the barbarian and the summoned creature. The archer smiled smugly, until he noticed the rest of the crew was dead or missing. "What the.. oh my.. Sails full! Hard to Port!"

So, all of the enemies will have -2 to hit everyone else.

"Kane!" Kruk shouts as he rushes to the aide of his fallen comrade. Reaching him and ignoring the last archer, he administers first aide to Kane. Satisfied with his work he states "hmmmf that should help" Turning to the pirate he states in a fit of rage "GET DOWN HERE AND FIGHT COWARD!"

Hergunna shudders as the wolf is slain (loses 1 healing surge) and changes back to human shape. She clucks her tongue and flicks another vine at the last archer. Finally her aim is true, and the sharp thorns rake the target.

"Unhh..." Kane groans, his eyes still closed, but at least Kruk seems to have stopped the bugbear from worsening.

[sblock=ooc]
Yah! Thanks dimsdale. [/sblock]

We have defeated them! Wil smiles then looks confused. Wait, they are getting away! He fires a final volley at the archer while moving towards his comrades. The arrow flies for a nasty wound that throbs with arcane energy.

"Oh no ye don't," Carolina says as she rushes to the ship's safety railing. Setting her eyes on the archer, she tosses the dagger over the open waters. "Damn it!" she yells when her blade goes wide. As it returns to her hand, she ducks down inside the boat in anticipation of return fire.
