[sblock=treex]Range in 4e is simply counted as number of squares distant. Pythagorean adjustments are not made for diagonal trajectories.
Range 5 means that as long as the number of squares counted to the target is 5 or less (along a diagonal or otherwise), you can hit it.
Imagine a square-shaped area 11 squares to a side centered on you (formed by counting 5 squares out from you in any direction). Anything in that area can be hit.
Likewise, the area of light is a square-shaped area 9 squares on a side centered on the target.
This means you can certainly hit K11 if you want. If you do, anything from G6 to N15 (corners of a a square-shaped area) is illuminated.[/sblock]

[sblock=Treex] Just on a side note jsb said that we have to use 2 move actions to get onto the top of the ship and end our move adjacent to the hatch (as stated in his clarification post.)
You may want to edit your character's position as you are technically 3+ moves from where you started.[/sblock]

Its cool I had to edit my post for that exact same reason lol
To answer your question about light, these are the rules from your character sheet.
Target: One object or one unoccupied square Effect: Jesse causes the target to shed bright light. The light lits the target's square and all squares within 4 squares of it. The light lasts for 5 minutes. Putting out the light is a free action. Special: Jesse can have only one light cantrip active at a time. If he creates a new light, his previously cast light winks out.
Thus if you target the square X amount of blocks away (I assume in the pirate ship) then you will illuminate all the blocks in a 4 square radius. This would in effect remove the low light-no light environment and all penalties associated with it (what those are I do not know)[/sblock]

[sblock=DJ]Just double checked your post (hey treex you're standing on top of me, D
I believe we have some characters who do not have low-light vision, the humans. Wait a sec, I have low-light vision...that means I could see them clearly. Ugh, now I have to edit so that I actually saw them.
EDIT: Yay, there's nothing in my post that implies I didn't see them. Huzzah for that.[/sblock]

[sblock=Treex]You can’t cast light, as your only available actions are to double move the ready yourself I’ll say there is some illumination, dim light on the Salty Dog. I’ll place you at F6[/sblock]
Like an army of ants, the motley crew swarms near the bulwark. A hinged plank is pushed over and slams with a crunch, bridging the gap between the ships, its metal spikes sinking in the Salty Dog’s wooden railing, locking into place. Almost immediately, the pirates jump across and move within striking distance. Two archers, one fore, the other aft, start firing on one not from their ship. A smallish man begins to chant, and a radiant bolt leaps from his hand.

Rogar keeps a tight ship, everything is secured and tidy.
Bulwark: Runs the perimeter of the Salty Dog’s main deck; 3 feet high. Provides cover from ranged attacks.
Masts (E5:E6 and L5:L6): You must squeeze into these squares (Except small sized creatures); provides cover against ranged attacks.
Stairs (N4 and N8): difficult terrain; ascend 5 feet to stern castle; bulwarks ring the perimeter.
Booby hatch (H5:J6): Considered difficult terrain to avoid tripping.
