Sailing onwards, it was the morning of the following day, Bodger saw that the Blue Nixie was signalling the Sea Wyvern. Pulling alongside Lavinia quickly and succintly revealed that the area that the vessels were sailing towards was the area controlled by a Scarlet Brotherhood blockade which had a habit of attacking passing vessels. She proposed that the two vessels sailed through the area about half an hour apart in the hopes that the pirates would ignore a lone vessel as not worth the effort.
After waiting the required 30 minutes the Sea Wyvern ploughed through the waters. Bodger then saw a second ship sailing towards them from the blockade area which quickly ran up the Scarlet Brotherhood's colours. The two vessels quickly moved forward and quickly drew alongside, attached by grappling ropes.
Lucius quickly fored a crossbow at the other vessel, labelled the Purity's Prow, and Cal also fired at a figure that appeared to be the captain of the other ship. Jack cast a spell and a spiritual weapon appeared on the other vessel and attacked ineffectively. 1 pirate swung across between vessels and with a mighty blow struck Elaine who promptly dived over the side. Meanwhile, from his perch in the crow's nest Bodger shot at the enemy vessel and Lucius also struck him slightly with a magic missile. The ships crunched as the grapplingropes pulled them together. I pirate fired up at the Sea Wyvern's crows nest, striking Bodger slightly.
Meanwhile, in the water Elaine climed aboard the Purity's Prow. Bodger fired a rain of arrows down, killing 2 of the pirates. Jack also hit one with the spiritual weapon. Cal killed one of the pirates and with a second blow, another lay down and pumping blood on the deck. Meanwhile Elaine breathed on the sails of the Purity's Prow which quickly burst aflame. Bodger killed a further pirate. With a mighty swing on one of the grappling ropes, Cal swung aboard the Purity's Prow, killing one of the pirates on his swing across. By this time the fire in the sails had spread to the mast which blazed merrily. Jack cast a further Spiritual Weapon spell which attacked the captain of the other vessel dropping him. At that exact moment, the mast which had been burning quickly, collapsed and fell onto the deck. Unfortunately on its fall to the deck it caught the pirate captain, pulverising him. The fire started to spread through the Purity's Prow and Bodger, realising that the flames could also spread to the Sea Wyvern, Bodger quickly fired a volley of arrows at the grappling ropes, seperating the vessels. The remainder of the party, dived overboard as the Purity's Prow went up in flames. The two remaining pirates were hung on the orders of captain Cal.
