Elven Navy Delta Squad: Thought Taker

Chjargal watches his shot go wide and sees the drakkar's spellcaster turn his focus towards Marcus. No! the bugbear screams to himself as he watches his squad leader become frozen in place.

The druid immediately flies towards Marcus to protect him, firing one more shot at the spellcaster. When he lands next to Marcus, he will draw both his sickle and his scimitar and take on the nearest boarder.

Just noticed I used 's' for sailors and sleeping boarders. The sailors are all at the left end of the ship, fighting two boarders. Will replace with 'c' for crew.

In that case, Amanu use cast defensively and unleash his 30-foot cone of steam towards the right of the picture, encompassing many of the enemies!

Chjargal flies and Grillon tumbles towards Marcus, anxious to stop the enemy cleric from taking advantage of his hold. They land between their squadmate and the enemies, slashing out with dagger and sickle. Chjargal drops one of the boarders.

The enemy cleric attacks the druid in response. He hits using his mace, and his spiritual hammer slams the bugbear in the back (13 damage). The spiritual hammer vanishes, joining the axe which disappeared the round before. The cleric also steps up next to Marcus, a feral gleam in his eye.

Another boarder pulls free of the entangle spell and another wakes up to rejoin the fight. The bugbear and the derro now face five of the enemy.

Amanu casts defensively and a cone of steam washes over the enemy leader and his nearby crew. All of the boarders are overcome by the steam, but the leader emerges angrier than ever. He steps in to attack the cyborg, missing his first attack but hitting with the second (14 damage). Then the red-haired barbarian staggers for a moment, struck hard by Theryndil's arrow (critical hit, 23 damage).

Akodo changes his appearance to one of the warriors who fell moments ago. The boarder in front of him shakes his head once, then steps up next to his leader and hits Amanu (3 damage).

Amanu is at 6 hp. The enemy leader has lost more than half his hit points. The enemy cleric has not.

Amanu steps back a raises a defensive shield before him to protect against the assault of the enemy.

Akodo quickly looks to the boarder near him, "Hey, you should go even the odds down there," and points to the mass of crew and boarders fighting on the other end of the deck. Shaking his head, Akodo then moves to the other side of Amanu, and casts a cure light wounds on the cyborg. He tries to make his incantations and gestures look as much as regular combat movements as possible and when he finishes, he delivers the spell via a light punch in the shoulder with his off hand, mumbling "Sorry, Amanu."

Must move. . . must finish them . . . there's that dirty son of a worm priest who froze me . . . that's it come closer . . . I'll be free in a moment . . . Marcus thought.

Marcus continues his struggles against the magical energies binding his movements.

Chjargal concentrates his attacks with scimitar & sickle on "Onethumb" ( ) using all the might he has to put him down before he can harm Marcus.

Chjargal and Grillon hold their ground on the enemy ship. The bugbear gets a decent hit on One Thumb with his scimitar (6 damage), while Grillon uses his dagger to defend their backs, taking down one of the enemy. Unfortunately, One Thumb and the boarder farthest from Grillon work together to break through Chjargal's defenses, hitting twice (15 damage).

Amanu raises a shield, vastly raising his ability to avoid harm. Unfortunately, the enemy leader overcomes the protection, stepping in and hitting the cyborg with his first attack (7 damage).

Akodo easily deceives the other boarder, who foolishly runs past Amanu on his way to attack the crew. Amanu trips the man with his spear, sending him to the deck with a crash, where he rapidly loses consciousness.

Akodo attempts to cure his friend, but the positive energy has no effect on Amanu. Theryndil helps, sending another arrow at the Red (6 damage).

Several of the crew have fallen, but they took out one of the raiders and have another surrounded.
