Ecgthow will continue to slaughter his enemies with a wrath that can only come from the depths of hell, or by the divine grace of heaven, depending on which end of his sword the observer happens to be.

Octar heart thumps as he continues swinging at his choosen enemy, tunnel vision blurring out all around him. So this he thinks absentmindedly, is what battle is like. It seemed about the same as had been described to him- lots of screaming and confusion and trying not to get stuck.

[OOC: Sorry guys, damn dialup. Haven't been able to get online and when I did ENWorld was down]
Ehldannis has been spending most of the battle trying to get a grip on what exactly is happening around him. Every time he makes a decision on what action to take the combat changes and he second guesses his tactics. The frenetic pace, the screams of pain, the clash of steel and the blood is all too much for him. Although his mind is racing a million miles an hour to the observer he is frozen in shock staring slack jawed.
Eventually he gains some composure and begins haltingly chanting. As he starts his spellcasting his confidence begins to gain, this is what I should have been doing from the start. His voice rises to a powerful volume for one of such small frame as he completes his magic and sends a cloud of gas filled with twinkling faerie lights towards the aft of the ship where the remaining Sahuagin fight on. The cloud billows and envelops them [sleep - aimed so that only the sahuagin fall within its radius if possible]

Round 4 (con't)
OOC: Sorry gang, I've been forgetting to update my map.
Ehldannis casts his spell at the very aft of the ship, the sparkling mist narrowly missing Ecgthow. One sahuagin stumbles, its eyes drifting, then closing, crashes to the floor of the deck. The leader is unaffected. Khen notices that another fishlike head was emerging over the deck, but falls to the waves as the spell hits.
Brioc and the wolf advance, but cannot reach the combat.
Their leader aims both his weapons at Ecgthow, striking with unerring percision. With no armor to deflect the blow, Ecgthow takes the hits on his flesh (10 pts dmg). Octar and Glaucon are also struck by their opponents' tridents, for 3 and 10 pts respectively.
Captain Tolstloy expertly severs the head of his sleeping foe. One crewman scimitar imbeds in Octar's opponent's skull, killing it.
Only two enemies remain on deck. Ecgthow leaps forward swinging sword and axe at the leader, who deftly steps aside. His attention to the barbarian, however, makes him vunerable to Khenemetsobek's spear thrust, which rips off some of his scales (7 points dmg)
Round 5
Octar and Glaucon swing at the remaining Sahuagin warrior. They connect simutaneously, slicing it like chunk of meat. It drops lifeless to the deck.

Seeing that the end is near, Nathaniel extends his hand toward the remaining threat, shouting something in Hebrew, eyes burning with intent. (daze, Will DC 14)

Enraged even further by his wound, Ecgthow drops his axe to the deck of the ship. He then begins to swing away two-handed with his sword, hoping to inflict the maximum amount of carnage upon the vile, scaled creature.

Round 5 (end)
The remaining enemy seems to see the hopelessness of his situation. Unaffected by Nathaniel's daze, he takes a step back, and topples backwards over the railing into the waves below. Looking after him, the party sees only circling dorsal fins. No humanoids in sight.
Suddenly, the only noise is the rocking of the waves, and the panting of the victors.

The overwhelming frenzy of the melee over, Ehldannis slowly looks around taking in the aftermath. The brutality of the violence, the bodies and blood sprawling on the deck threaten to overwhelm him. He lets out a great moaning sob, seemingly from the depths of his soul and then regains his composure.
"Quickly, we must bring in that castaway. If he's been a captive of these brutes, who knows what depridations he's suffered." Keep your wits Ehldannis, appear a man of action or these humans will think you weak.

Octar runs over to the other side of the boat, and yells to the man while he looks around for some device of reaching him (a grappling hook, perhaps?). "Are you alright?"
