Round #4:
Hobbes races out on deck and spotting an easy target lopes over to the mast and neatly skewers an unsuspecting sahuagin in the back. It falls to the deck squabbing at it's wound and screeching in pain. Hobbes has seen this behavior before. The creature will live, but is no threat to anyone in the near future.
The spectral trident floating in front of Mortachi
jabs at him (1d20+9=13) again but fails to connect.
Simultaneously, a large shape crashes into the deck and in a splintering of wood, plunges through it into the hold below!
X shouts "
ENOUGH!" as he rages... but it seems as if his anger blinds him and his blow falls short of the smaller sahuagin, who has begun to bleat in fear.
Meanwhile, Plate draws back and slashes the 4-armed mutant deeply. He looks a little unsteady on his legs as he clutches at the large gash on his side.
Another gout of green flames reaches from the old drow woman's outstretched hand and burns the 4-armed mutant facing Plate. He begins looking from side-to-side wildly as its scales smoke.
The half-naked drow grappling with the sahuagin on the deck in front of the old drow woman seems to be making some headway as the sea devil squawks in pain.
The crew, meanwhile, now that reinforcements have arrive begin to disengage and draw out the wounded so that they can be saved.
Xarut mutters some magical incantations and points his finger at the 4-armed mutant. A bolt of eldritch force slams into it from behind. The fearsome beast isn't looking so good at the moment.
Rik too calls upon his arcane might and looses a missile of pure magic at the sahuagin running to aid the drow-grappled sahuagin. It grunts as the magical force slams into it.
Groswen tries to contribute to the battle but she's so rattled that her crossbow quarrel sails off into the great blue yonder.
Various sahuagin over the deck duel with thier opponants, sometimes landing telling blows othertimes missing. Such are the vagaries of combat. LT looks as if he's in danger of being overwhelmed. The captain has a trident deep in his side and he falls to his knees. A few crew members can be heard yelling for help as they try to climb up the ship to escape the sharks in the water.
The sahuagin at H27 throws his trident at the old drow woman, who yells in pain as the crude weapon pierces her thigh, pinning her to deck.
Rezzin's opponants snarls and
sticks him (1d20+4=9) with its trident. Rezzin's armor holds though and he is unharmed.
Apparantly deciding that discretion is the better part of valor, the large 4-armed mutant makes a run for it by withdrawing and then leaping off the side of the ship. A scream of anger is heard from far overhead.
The sahuagin facing X, noting it's companions abandonment of the situation also withdraws to D20.
Takis runs out on deck, scimitar in hand. Ever the practical one, he runs to the nearest sahuagin who happens to be grappling with the mostly naked drow and stabs him.
Ulytash charges out on deck and makes a rather large gouge in the deck as his blow sails by the sahuagin he was aiming at. "
Help me!" shouts the grappled crewmember.
Muttering a prayer to the Keeper, Mortachi makes his way forward and touches the sahuagin fighting the warforged known as Glass. It screams and falls to the deck. Mortachi grins secure in the knowledge that the creature now rests in the Keeper's long embrace.
LT cuts down one of the sahuagin facing him while Glass runs and tackles the sahuagin dueling with the Captain.
