Antapkos rolls into the water from his crouched position, maintaining his touch on the other skiff in order to heat it in an attempt to ignite the reeds from which it is made.

Cormorant jumps from his skiff, shoving it back and away as he hopes to land on the edge of the other skiff and capsize it, throwing it two standing occupants into the water with him.

Antapkos: 100(move / bend) - 140 = ~0
Cormorant: 100(move) - 135 = ~0
Javelineers: 200(javelins) - 118 = 82

The three javelineers under the command of the Ansylin who was speaking, all lift a javelin to launch it. Antapkos rolls from his skiff into the water, and Cormorant jumps for the other boat before any of the three can throw.

Antapkos: 21(bending) + 17(heat) + 68(d100) = 106, success

Cormorant: 19(agression) + 17(accuracy) + 19(fury) + 73(d100) = 128

Javelineers: 14(aggression) + 12(contortion) + 10(fury) + 67(d100) = 113

Holding to the skiff belonging to two of the Shimadow javelineers, though Antapkos rolls into the water, he causes the skiff to ignite in flame. The flame begins to spread quickly upon the boat made of lashed reeds. The two men panic at the sight of the flames, causing themselves to fall into the water. The skiff continues to burn as it drifts away. One of the guards screams as he hits the water. "He's a Bender!"

Cormorant lands on the edge of the other boat. The two men try to maintain their balance, but neither can do so. The boat flips and now everyone finds himself immersed in the muddy water. Though the guards held onto their readied javelins, none could manage a throw. The water is deep enough in the channel to require everyone to swim. The guards all begin trying to make for the shallows, of which they are closer than either Antapkos or Cormorant. The Ansylin guard has his skiff pole but not a javelin.

Antapkos visualizes his direction with his head above water, then ducks under to swim toward the right flank of the Shimadow guard farthest to his left. When he surfaces he will attempt to touch the man. Feeling particularly agitated about the whole situation, he thinks that he may be able to give the guard an electric jolt, though he has never before attempted such a thing.

Cormorant draws his carving knife and attempts to swim around the Shimadow guard to get to the Ansylin guard. This being a dire situation of life and death, he has no reservation about using the knife to kill. Knowing that he can perform such a feat, he will also mystically heat the man when he makes contact.

Antapkos: 100bend), 200
Cormorant: 100(bend), 200
Javelineers: 82 + 200(javelins) = 282

Antapkos: 21(bending) + 18(shock) + 81(d100) = 119
Cormorant: 19 + 19 + 85 = 123

Javelineers: 14(conditioning) + 10(fury) + 83(d100) = 107

Cormorant: 19(aggression) + 18(accuracy) + 19(fury) + 53(d100) = 109
Javelineers: 14(finesse) + 12(accuracy) + 10(clarity) + 37(d100) = 73

Cormorant: 17(defend) + 18(avoid) + 17(analysis) + 53(d100) = 105
Anatapkos: 19 + 19 + 18 + 21 = 77
Javelineers: 14 + 12 + 10 + 37 = 73

JS1: 119 - 107 = 12% * 2 = ~1 x 2. Body: 10 - 2 = 8, hurt.
JS3: 109 - 73 = 36% * 5 = 2 x 2. Body: 10 - 4 = 6, injured.
123 - 107 = 16% * 2 = ~1 x 2. Body: 6 - 2 = 4, injured.

When Anatapkos surfaces, the Shimadow javelineer spins in the water to face the produced sound to see Antapkos reaching for him with a bare hand. When the hand makes contact a slight electric jolt results, but it is not enough to cause any real damage. Antapkos performs the same task twice before the guard can act. Choking up on his weapon, the guard attempts to stab the boy, but narrowly misses. The second Shimadow guard continues to swim toward the shallows.

Seeing the movement of Cormorant, the Ansylin javelineer continues to push backward in the water to reach the shallows, but the Shimadow interferes with his path. Unaware of the ready knife under the water, the Shimadow takes a slice to the left arm and the ribs. The cuts burns unnaturally causing more pain. The attempt to stab Cormorant with his javelin is badly aimed, as a result.

Never having faced any resistance, the guards are a bit out of sorts in how to exactly combat two competent youths. They are angry and anxious, both at the same time. No mud grubber has ever before dared to stand up to a guard. This was proving as dangerous as fighting a marsh lizard. The Shimadow guard engaging Cormorant is in fairly bad condition.

Antapkos will attempt to get behind and choke the guard he is fighting. He will continue to mystically shock him.

Cormorant ignores the Ansylin guard for the moment and seeks to press his advantage against the Shimadow guard. He will continue to try to stick him with the knife and mystically heat him.

74 - 64 = 10% * 2 = ~1. Body: 3 - 1 = 2, injured.

The Ansylin guard and one of the Shimadow make it to more shallow water where they can stand. The Ansylin guard glares in frustration, as he has no javelin that he can throw. The Shimadow readies his aim.

Cormorant cuts and heats his enemy, again. The taint of blood becomes visible in the water. That guard is near his end. Antapkos gets his arm around the neck of his enemy, but the guard slips the hold, though he receives another electric shock at the body contact.

The Ansylin guard futilely shouts encouragement at the guard fighting Cormorant. The Shimadow looks for a clear line to throw his javelin at Antapkos.

Seeing that his other enemy has made it to shallow ground, Antapkos realizes that he will likely throw his javelin. Though he was unable to previously catch the guard in a choke, he makes the same assaults again, also hoping to use him for cover.
