I apologize to everyone involved, but I am having too difficult of a time time following this combat. I should have started a new 4e campaign from level 1. I am bowing out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Round 4
Lochlan discharges the power of the spirits on the lower deck, killing a pirate, and hampering Salashan.
The door can’t take any more. It explodes in a shower of splinters, revealing the towering frame of Kumar, wielding a wicked looking blade. Chiz plunges his own inside him, and fortunately, he finds his mark. Several of the slaves also draw the black blood of the infamous captain. Taran in his wild form sinks his claws in Kumar as well.
Cliff and Asterion can’t connect with the dwarf, who nimble dances away from their attacks.
The slaves kill one of the two remaining pirates, and fight with the other, a stout looking man, well armored. However, the pirate seeing his few chances of surviving decides to surrender.
The dwarf decides to clear some space for his captain, and skewers one of the slaves from behind. The man dies quickly.
Kumar grunts at the slaves and the heroes surrounding him. “Filthy maggots! I let ye live and this is how ye pay me? With betrayal? I’ll slick yer throats! And yers too, I don’t care ‘bout that damn mage’s orders!” With deadly grace, Kumar makes an arc with his blade, slicing through all of the surrounding heroes.
Sandy leaves the ballista and approaches the edge of the upper deck near Lochlan, he attempts to distract the captain, but misses.
One of the few remaining pirates sneaks behind Cliff and tries to sinks a dagger in his left shoulder, but he can't.
Two more slaves run from below.

[sblock= Important Battle Information, please read]
Any nearby PC can command slaves, I’ll do the rolling of the slaves, so just spell out the commands you wish them to perform.
2 more armed slaves will appear each round from the stairs until number 20 slave has appeared.
2 more pirates will appear each round from the stairs until number 12 pirate has appeared.
The big square In the middle is the main post.
Going up the stairs is difficult terrain so each stairs square takes 2 normal move squares.
Characters standing on the edge of high deck gain a +2 to ranged attacks vs characters on lower deck, and gain concealment vs ranged attacks from low deck attackers.
Standing anywere but the edge of the high deck grants superior conealment from attackers from the other deck. This is true for characters on the lower and on the higher deck. (So the dwarf gets sup. Concealment vs Sandy and Taran, and they too have concealment vs him. Lochlan has +2 attack vs the dwarf, and concealment vs his ranged attacks, whereas the dwarf gets no bonus against Lochlan’s attacks.)
I8 is the entrance to the captain’s cabin. It’s currently closed.
To disable the ballista permantly would take a minor action from the three characters around it. Firing it would take a move action from each of them. The ballista has a ranged attack of +10 vs Ref for 4d8 points of dmg. It has an inherent -4 to attack (plus the cover) people in the lower deck, but can target normally people on the higher deck and the stairs.
The borders of the ship can be used like a “trap”. If someone pushes a character to a square of water, the pushed character falls to the freezing waters and takes 10 dmg each round it remains in it. Characters can use the Rope stairs to climb up, but it would require a successful swim check (DC 15 for each move action used to reach the square adjacent) and a successful climb check (DC 10) to climb up. Minor NPC will instantly die, but bosses will use those rules to climb up again.

on kumar's turn:
duelist's stance strike 29 vs reflex for 6 damage (interrupt, trigger: an enemy hits or misses me)
edit for corrected damage - forgot that Chizz has already dealt sneak attack damage this round.

"Out of my way, dwarf!" tells Cliff, striking at him with his divine might. As the dwarf fall he shout to the slave. "Get out of the way, we will handle Kumar!"
[SBLOCK=OOC]Start: Regen 2 hp
Minor: Divine Strength
Standard: Holy Strike vs AC on Dwarf (1d20+11=31, 1d8+15=19) Critical!
Critical (1d6=3)

Chizz studies Kumar's movements. Part of him is surprised that the feared pirate is so small when viewed up close; from the tales told of his exploits, Chizz half expected him to be ten feet tall. And he doesn't breathe fire, either. I wonder what else isn't true?
The half-orc stabs with both blades, but fails to get past Kumar's guard. Hey Kumar! You look like you got the pox. Did you get it from a whore or from your mother? Using a taunt to distract him, Chizz quickly strikes again. This time both blades bite deep! Oh, the whore WAS your mother? Well, she won't want to bed you when you're bleeding like that; better clean yourself up! He hopes to goad Kumar into an attack; he has been watching the way the pirate holds his blade and believes he can hit the man's heart if he will only swing at him.
MINOR: hunter's quarry on Kumar
STANDARD: twin strike on Kumar; 14 and 13 both miss (forgot to add CA in the dice roller, but it didn't help).
ACTION POINT: trying again. CRIT for 18 and hit for 5, total 23 damage. - used the d6 rolled for damage as the crit die for the weapon instead.
IMMEDIATE INTERRUPT: +9 vs Reflex (+11 with CA, +12 if Asterion is also next to Kumar) for 3d6+8 if Kumar attacks Chizz. Remember +3 defenses while near Asterion.
FREE: Reinforce Cliff's order to the slaves with a quick shove (moved them on the map).
Requesting that no one mark Kumar this turn, I want him to swing at me. A heal would be welcome, but Cliff needs it more.
note: did my 8 remaining thp from the prayer downstairs get forgotten, or did I really take 25 damage last round?

Coming on deck and seeing the chaos going on, filled Kaedyn with some uncertainty, by the gods! What’s going on here?
At first he was ready to do his job and defend the captain, but then he saw who was actually fighting. The newcomers and the minotaur were starting a revolt or something, they must have figured that I was already bought and couldn’t be trusted. Well no sense in dying for this pig, didn’t like our agreement anyway.
Kaedyn sheaths his sword and holds his arms out palms up and says,“Relax boyo, they didn’t pay me to kill slaves, freed ones or otherwise. By the look of things, that blighter Kumar and his runt are getting what they deserve. So what’s it going to be?”

Taran takes a step backward, another blow like that and he will be facing the afterlife he thinks. He throws flame seeds at the captain he fails at hitting him.
"Look for a net or something to trap the captain and the dwarf!" Shouts at the slaves

Note: with Taran stepping back my 3d6+8 just became 1d6+4 instead, on that interrupt. Unless someone else steps in somehow and provides a flank. So I take back what I said about not marking him, 1d6+4 is not worth getting clobbered for
