The Captain's Caper! (Dunamin judging)

Alex moves to help Quagmire and attacks the goblin warrior, trying to push him out of the ship with his shield, but he slips on the wet deck and misses widely. Crap! I'll take care of this one, Quag! Go gut that sniper up there!

-Alex moves and tries to bash one goblin warrior, but fails to connect after slipping on the unstable deck.

-Hrav fares better as he stabs the warrior nearest him through the shoulder.

-The goblin sharpshooters each fire at the party. One hits Hrav, but the other misses Alex.

-Quagmire and Girth can go again...

S1 shoots at Hrav, S2 shoots at Alexander (1d20+9=22, 1d6+4=5, 1d20+9=16, 1d6+4=6)

Quagmire charges the sharpshooter on the quarterdeck, trusting Alex to guard his back. "Give up, ye filthy mangepicker. Yer outclassed, and ye know it."

[sblock=actions]Charge to C6, taking the OA (which will be at -2 and give Alex a free attack). Hits AC 19 for 9 damage. [/sblock]

Shocked by the events just happening - his Lady's apparent indifference and now the attack of the goblin warrior - Girth takes a quick but careful step backwards. His pulse races as he gives himself into the hands of his patron.

He can still see the aura of her curse that surounds the goblin and that stiffens his resolve.

"Die, Oh scaly one!"

Girth's attack sucks the life from the goblin, replacing the damage that it did to Girth with its own vitality. The warlock grins with the justice of it all.

[sblock=OOC]Shift to S10. Vampiric Embrace vs W4. 20+6 (inc Prime Shot) vs Will (Still -2?); Crit, Damage 2d8+4 = 20 necrotic damage. Roll Lookup
+6 damage (Warlock's Curse) Roll Lookup
and Girth gains 5 temporary HP.[/sblock]

OOC: Apologies for my absence. My new exercise program every Mon/Wed/Fri morning has taken away my time to post anything on those mornings. So I'm left with Tues/Thurs/and the weekend. This last week or so has just been crazy busy though, so it's taken me till now. Again, my deepest apologies to all of you and I'll try to do better.

-Quagmire charges up the steps to the aft deck and slices at the sharpshooter there with good success. The goblin he runs from decides not to take his concentration off of Alexander to swing at Quagmire...

-Girth pours his frustration into his spell and unleashes a necrotic storm of his own around the goblin. It goes stiff as its life is snuffed out like a candle, but Girth doesn't stop there. He keeps sucking the life from every cell of the goblins body until it shrivels and desiccates before his eyes. When the body finally falls to the deck, it explodes into a cloud of dry ash that is quickly blown away in the storm and pasted onto Girth here and there as the water and ash mix to coat him with gray spots.

-The goblin warriors fight back, but only Hrav gets injured by the spear thrust of the goblin in front of him. (7 damage, bringing Hrav down to 10 HP's)

-Alex and Hrav can go...

W1 attacks Hrav, W3 attacks Alexander. (1d20+6=20, 1d8+2=7, 1d20+6=9, 1d8+2=8)

Why won't you go down, you damn bugger! shouts Alexander frustrated as he attempts to push the goblin off the deck again. He lands a solid hit and pushes the goblin warrior with a powerful blow of his shield. Before even checking if the goblin falls in the storming waters or not, Alexander hurries to help Hrav. Hrav! Flank! he shouts in the deafening wind, then proceeds to assault the small fighter with his heavy shield, but this time his balance isn't quite right and the goblin dodges.

[sblock=actions]standard: tide of iron on W3, 22 vs Ac, 12 dmg and push; mark W3; move to 4G, ACTION POINT: tide of iron on W1, 12 vs Ac, 7 dmg and push, W1 is marked too[/sblock]

ooc:I hope W3 fails its save and falls off, but anyway it'll be prone at least and now Hrav can flank.

ooc: One of Quagmire's class features that I've been totally forgetting is that you regain 4 HP (cha mod + 1/2 level) when you use an AP within sight of Quagmire.

ooc:right, I'd totally forgotten about it, thanks for reminding me.

"Thank ye kindly, Alex," Hrav tells the fighter, as the bugbear shifts over to flank the goblin. Hrav then uses Alex's distraction to bury his rapier to the hilt in his foe, straight through the goblin's heart. Hrav then rips his rapier free and kicks the already limp goblin off the deck and into the sea.

"That's for the spear in the ribs, ya runt!" Hrav calls down to the sinking, lifeless body.

[sblock=Mechanics]Move action - Shift to E4.

Minor action - Apply Predatory Eye to W1.

Standard action - Torturous Strike against W1, with Predatory Eye and Sneak Attack.
