[Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

[jbear]

The Captain of the junk and his first mate get back to their feet groggily staring in dismay at the chaos that reigns upon their ship but unable even to command a hasty retreat. They merely stand and stare with horror. However the shadows within the turret aboard the ship continue to dance and writhe as the figure within chants.

Aboard the Dolphin the Captain staggers back as though physically struck. Blood trickles from his ears and nose as his eyes roll back to white in his head. He stands arms limp at his side, mouth agape.

A moment later as Rain one of the cannons aboard the junk manages to reload with incredible efficiency. Seconds later it roars to life, impacting high on the side of the Dolphin, smashing away a chunk of the deck,sending splinters cutting into Zuri and Sabynha and cutting down two sailors next to them as they scurried across deck. A third sailor collapses in a bloody scream of agony, his leg pierced through by a metre long shard of the wooden railing.

Momentarily leaderless, despite the fact a crew member takes the helm of the junk, the boat neither pulls away nor comes any closer. For the moment it bobs uselessly upon the water, like its captain too dazed to take a decisive action, the wind of an angry god blowing against them.

The screams of the prisoners aboard the junk now reach you though their words are largely lost in the chaos. All that holds you together is the thick but nearly severed rope of the one remaining grappling hook fired from the junk.

[Nemesis Destiny]

Reeling from the cannon blast, Sabynha brushes her skirts off and looks around surveying the damage. Zuri, to her relief, is in similar shape, and her other companions seem no worse for wear. Captain Peg, on the other hand, seems to be imperiled by some malevolent force; he's bleeding and swaying as though struck, and yet unscathed by debris.

She hears the screams of the prisoners now. Scanning the deck of the junk, she finally realizes what's happening to the Captain as well. Realizing this may be the poor captives' last chance, she shouts at her fellows, "Stop! Stop cuttingk - dey haf prisoners! We cannot leave dem to zis fate," and points emphatically at the shattered mast to which the prisoners are lashed.

 

[Son of Meepo]

Wat continues the call lightning from the sky. The first mate is able to jump clear of the bolt from above, but the captain is too slow to react, the lightning impacting him square in the chest.

As the first mate is getting back into position, Wat yells to some of the crew.

"Don't just stand there! Pick up your weapons! FIRE!"

Wat gestures at the command of the remaining junk and the crew fires their crossbows. One of the bolts hits the first mate in the leg.

Wat continues to try to help ward the captain's mind, but his attention is too divided to complete the spell.

[sblock=actions]Standard: Divine Bolts
Divine Bolts (Captain, First Mate) (1d20+4+2=26, 1d6+4=6, 1d20+4+2=12, 1d6+4=8)

Minor: Order crew to make Ranged Attack
Order Crew (1d20+10=22)
Result: SUCCESS
Crew Ranged Attack: Crew Ranged Attack (First Mate) (1d20+4+2=24)
Result: HIT the First Mate for 4 damage.
Minor: Protecting the Captain's Mind
Arcana (1d20+7=14)
Results: FAIL[/sblock]

 

[Nemesis Destiny]

Wat's command spurrs Sabynha to action as well. Though unable to fling a dagger far enough to matter, with a twirling flourish that makes her clothes whip into a colourful frenzy, she grabs a crossbow from a nearby downed crew member, and with a gypsy holler, fires at the Yakuza captain.

[sblock]Minor: pick up crossbow from fallen crew.
Move -> Minor: activate Song of Savagery
Standard: fire crossbow at the yakuza captain 1d20+5=23, 1d8+3=6 - HIT!
No Action: Use Lesser Flash of Distraction - yakuza captain is dazed TENT
Song of Savagery: the next ally to hit the captain can claim a +4 damage bonus from me.[/sblock]
Still reeling from Wat's lightning, the Yakuza captain looks up in time to see a loaded crossbow pointed at him from the Dolphin. Hearing the Vistani's bizarre war cry, he barely has time to react as the bolt flies across the gap between the two ships. It glances off his head, barely grazing the skin, but leaving him off balance.

 

[Daeja]

Zuri winces as she yanks a sliver of wood from her arm. The bleeding isn't too bad yet, she realizes, but the ship itself is starting to look a lot worse for wear.

With Wat urging everyone to the attack, Zuri takes aim at the captain of the second junk with her hand crossbow. She watches Sabynha's bolt fly true, "Nice shot!" before firing off her own.

Failing to take into to account the motion of the boats, Zuri's bolt goes wide. She grits her teeth to hold back a curse.


[sblock="Actions"]Minor: 'Draw' hand crossbow
Standard: Fire crossbow at yakuza captain using Disheartening Strike: 1d20+6 → [7,6] = (13) MISS
Free action to reload[/sblock]

 

[Neil1889]

Rain appears on deck and takes the scene in from a better vantage point than through a smokey gun port. Hearing Sabynha's desire to keep the hook attached and looking at the current state of the captain, she slides back down the ladder to help Kaartus and his crew try and ready a gun.

"New target; that turret has a wizard in it."

[sblock=actions]Move=Back to the guns, then.

Standard action= Spends a Healing Surge and rolls an Endurance Check to aid Cannon recharge. Total = 13, so can Reroll Cannon recharge DC that fail.

Minor Action= Recharge guns attempt #1: Total = 6. Success!

[sblock=OOC]OK, thanks for the Minor action move. I'll add it into the previous post (SUCCESS!).[/sblock]

 

[treex]

A slight swerve of the ship alerts Themes and he looks over his shoulder to see the woozy Captain Peg. "Oy! Nobody be manning the helm?!" Themes exclaimed.

He rushes over, with a quick flourish sheathed his blades back, and places a firm grip on the helm. For a brief moment, Themes felt a burst of joy as he stood and overlooked the grand sea, hands on the helm, free to command the ship as he pleased. But right now he has a responsibility to ensure the safety of those hostages.

"Cap'n! Hurry up and find yer sealegs and stop yer lollylagging, ARRR!"

[sblock=Actions]Move: Move towards the helm
Minor: Sheathing my blades
Standard: Manning the helm[/sblock]
[sblock=Nature 22]Roll here, +7 Nature, (+2 from dazed enemy not added)[/sblock]

The Dolphin veers sharply towards the junk causing a mix of dismay and excitement from the junk crew.

[sblock] [MENTION=90924]LordGraz'zt[/MENTION] Kartuus has time to take a shot at the shugenja before the boats fully close on each other and aiming cannons becomes impossible. Then I'll make the opposing nature roll and post up the junk's actions. [/sblock]
