[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 6388300, member: 2012"] [B][I]The Merrow and the Madwoman:[/I][/B] The marine ogres rose out of the sea like a thunderous wave. They swarmed up the decks and pulled several sailors overboard to a watery death. The heroes were soon standing back to back against an onslaught that there was little hope of winning, if the had had Salisan on their side. The reef giant activated his magical gauntlets and grew back to his normal size. The timbers of the [I]Ishtar[/I] groaned under his weight. He used his strength to take five merrow into the water. He dived in and took the battle to them. He pierced three with his trident before they knew what was happening. He swam around the two ships keeping the bulk of the aquatic ogres back. Elyiniia screamed in frustration. She launched powerful magics against the ship, its crew, and her own soldiers. Explosions rocked the deck and several men on both sides melted into nothing. In the madness, Dabuk and Crystal used ropes to swing over to the enemy ship. They fought side by side against sailors, cutthroats, and undead alike. They fought to reach the witch that had become the bane of their existence. Finally, they stood less than ten feet away from her. “You've had it, witch!” Dabuk yelled over the battle. “Stop them! Stop them!” The witch had expended her most powerful magics in a mad attempt to sink the Ishtar. Crystal counterspelled the witches attempts to cast lightning bolt and fireball. Then Crystal got the upper-hand. She conjured a mist that obscured Elyiniia's ability to target them. Dabuk moved in for the kill just as the witch tried to conjure a powerful evocation that would rain down fire. The spell went wild. The power of the spell morphed into a dispelling field that not only negated the mist, but also negated the witches own active spells. Undead sailors drop to the deck and the sailors that had been fighting for the Foulsoul quickly surrendered. A few switched sides to battle the merrow and undead after the mad betrayal of their elven witch. Dabuk cut down the witch with two quick strokes and then beheaded her. The head he threw into the sea, and once the merrow were either dispatched or had retreated, he had her body burned on the deck of the Black Death. The enemy sailors who had refused to surrender peacefully were forced to walk the plank but not before Salisan and Dabuk forced them to watch as the Black Death sunk. A few of those who had turned on the merrows were allowed to stay on board and work in chains. [B][COLOR="#FF8C00"]End: The Journey to the Fallenlands - Part I (Black Death)[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
