There is a pause, then the door opens. Mad Megan ushers you all inside, glances around and then closes the door behind her. She throws a bar across it.
Inside the cottage it is stuffy, but warm compared to the snow outside. A single fire warms the tiny single room. Dried herbs hang from the...
Quin closes in one the last lizard creature standing, but can't get in past its thrashing tail to bite it. The lizard focuses on Mal, slashing him with its claws as he over balances with his latest clumsy axe swing. Possibly being on board a wooden deck floating on water is not good for one with...
Meanwhile, Kraken hauls himself out of the water onto one of the catwalks. Once he's reasonably sure that it's safe, he offers his hand to Doral, the least adapted to water of his three friends.
"Come on mate," he says. "Try it on dry land eh?"
OOC: Oh I know. My character Kraken in SelcSilverhand's Eberron game on these boards uses a falchion. And he's a frenzied barbarian with heavy use of action points so he can deal out a lot of attacks per round and dish out some scary amounts of damage. Who needs a fireball spell?
Another lizard goes down to Hang's falchion. Quin worries the corpse briefly, then looks to his master for further instruction, tail wagging. As Mal tries to free his axe from the deck he fends of attacks from the two remaining lizards flanking him. Claws rake down his armour but don't find a...
Ignatius weaves his way across the Blood Pig court to the challenger's defending end. He passes Devargo and the Shinglesnipe midfielder dancing around one another trading punches. He passes Manachan and his midfield opponent, who manages to land a kick on his opponent.
At the top end of the...
Hang lops the head off another of the lixards and now only three remain. Quin barks and harries at the one nearest his master but can't get in past the creature's thrashing tail.
Mal swings wildly with his axe as the two lizardmen fighting him move to flank him. He ducks one strike but takes...
Mhairi darts across and grabs the pig. It squirms in her arms and she drops it. One of the midfield Shinglesnipes runs back and grabs it from under her nose. The pig squeals, much to the amusement of the Emperor's court. Edmond's head butt puts his opponent on the deck, freeing him to move...
Brother Comoray can't see that the Cobalt dwarf actually cast a spell to call these serpent things up, possibly it was some property of the blue amulet that he wears. He's not sure either if these are summoned or conjured creatures.
Sh'aah and Comoray are first down the stairs, closely follwed...
Hang downs another of the black and gold-scaled reptiles. The lizardmen still have the advantage of numbers but their attrition rate is high. Their simple-minded tactics, however, suggest that they aren't going to give up until all have been killed or incapacitated. They continue their assault...
Hang lops the head of the laizard creature standing over Blue and steps up beside Mal, but the other lizards push forwards. There attacks are ineffective; they are using claws against armed and armoured men, and doughty men at that, but it is still five against two. Over by the gangway, Hang and...
