D&D 5E IG's "It's a Brand New World" [IC]

Inserting rolls:

[sblock=ooc]Okay! IC it is:

Attack is 1d20+5=17, damage if successful is 1d6+3=5 (+1d6=1 (boo!) for 6 total with SA) [/sblock]

Garrison is swift to act. He draws the short sword by his side, and moves into the melee, his predator instincts drawing him to the most vulnerable.

"Put down your weapons if you want to live," he calls. "All armed boarders will be killed."

Once he is in position, he swings with his short sword.

Aedon would prefer to cast a sleep spell on the group if it's possible before too many people are in melee? Can that be done?

Justice stays on the deck of the Sea Bride, ready to repel borders if they are under attack. He furrows his brow in confusion as the Captain orders a mage to drop a spell of fog on the deck of the other ship and then orders his forces to board the other vessel. He holds his ground near the Captain and tries to figure out what's going on.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Initiative roll = 13+0= 13. Invisible Castle down again, so I had a friend pick a random number from 1-20. He picked 13. Justice stays put while trying to figure out what's happening. He's not super smart though, so he want's to be sure before jumping one way or the other.[/SBLOCK]

Maighan hesitates; it makes no sense. Why would they set their own windcatcher alight to try to attack someone else? But when arrows start coming in as they approach, questions become academic. Then the question was...why were they still going TOWARDS the other ship? Surely the sane thing to do now was simply leave. They couldn't catch them...not with their windcatcher out of commission.

Was everything in the world outside ruled by madness?

The fog made it hard to see what to do momentarily, but as it thinned she saw an opening. They were coming across only on one bridge. A tactical error.

Maighan put her bow aside and took up her staff, topped with its totem. She planted it against the planks of the deck and reached her will through it, into the old wood. In the secret language of spirits and druids she whispered...reminded them of warm days, of sunlight on their leaves, and sap flowing through its grain. Once you lived, she said...remember.

The wood of the ship deck and the plank bridge the boarding party was using began to writhe; to undulate. Branches sprouted and twined, and curved up and around to begin tangling the legs of the boarders and those behind them still waiting to come across.

(Casting Entangle centered on a point where it hits the boarders and the area behind them (ie not any allies and as little of our own ship as is possible). DC is 15.)

As the two ships closed in on one another, J'hanna knelt just long enough to strap her helmet in place. She didn't pretend to understand just what was going on here- was the other ship hostile? was it just some kind of big misunderstanding?

As the fog blew away, she stood, close to her own group, and as close to the wheel of her own ship as possible. She made no move to advance towards the boarders, instead standing ready to defend her compatriots.

Aedon will not waste a spell if he can't hit only the other ships crew. Instead he will move furthest from the melee and watch the scene play out. If that takes less than normal movement then he is using the dodge action.

(Maighan's main aim was to stall additional boarders for the time being. Catching the 6 that got on is secondary...she'd want to get as many as she could, but only if the spell still blocks the boarding ramp as well)
