[QUOTE="Snipehunt, post: 1175067, member: 13142"] [color=blue]Fealnne[/color] hits one pirate with two arrows. The pirate falls to the deck, barely missing fellows massing to attack. Only 3 pirates remain in the rigging on the pirate ship. [color=orange]Bribben[/color] throws his spear at the captain, barely visible beyond the hulking Ogre. Despite the distance, the spear runs straight and true at the captain's head. At the last instant, the ship rocks in an exceptionally large wave, raising the Ogre into the spear's path. It hits the Ogre in a shoulder the size of a boulder. It screams thunderously, and grabs at the spear as it disappears to reappear suddeny in [color=orange]Bribben[/color]'s hand. [color=sandy brown]Norbac[/color], the size of a small horse, grabs several of the grappling lines and crawls across on a rudimentary bridge made possible, and necessary, by his large size, The ships lean towards each other as his immense weight bears down. Two hands the size of small ale-casks grab the side of the pirate ship. Several pirates look with dismay at the looming, supernaturally large half-orc climbing aboard, and at the huge spear now threatening them. OOC - I don't increase weight of itmes 8x with enlarge, so don't worry about collapsing under the weight of your gear. What are you doing about reach?

OOC - I'm not going to allow drawing weapons as part of the move across the ships, as your hands are tied up. {heh} So, one move to cross, one to draw swords.

Instead, the axe blade slices through his breastplate like butter, causing (erp) 24 points of damage. "You should be fighting with us, not dieing against us," one howls in Orcish as blood courses down the cleric's side. A seedy-looking human with jagged, yellow teeth and a broken nose slashes with a cutlass, but misses the giant cleric. 3 others, a seedy looking human and 2 half-orcs, attack [COLOR=Red]Rowena[/COLOR]. The human, wearing white clothes covered with red polka-dots, slashes with a cutlass. [COLOR=Red]Rowena[/COLOR], still recovering from her climb aboard, is unable to dodge in time, taking 3 points of damage from a slash across her fore-arm.

He fumbles at a belt pouch and, with some mystical gestures, casts a spell. A ball of flame burns away 40' of ropes attaching the two ships, and causing a momentary wall of flame to arise between them, almost catching Saarloss as he crosses over. You can now only cross on the front half of the ship. I'll adjust the rest of the maps tommorrow - getting too late. [/QUOTE]
