A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

Battel at Sea

As the tactical situation reveals itself, Michale will revise his orders.."We do not know who is friend or foe so we shall secure the access to the quarter deck of Lord Tarkingtons' ship and press the crew of the other....if they attack kill them.....this is not the time to be understanding. Grond you will form up on me and we shall lead the attack to secure the quartedeck. Col Chandar lead the marines with us against the mob on the main deck....Captain Imparille will lead his crew onto the other ship, secure it then follow onto the other ship and join us. Lt. Guiesspi you will take half your division and relive Captain Imparille as he makes his way towards us. Captain Mangrum will retain command of the Retributions...
any questions..

OOC: No one aboard questions the Captain as you go into battle...

However the DM has a few questions. The two ships are broadsides to each other and lashed together with grapnels. The Retribution is approaching from the back of Tarkington's ship and the prow of the unknown ship. Where do you position the Retribution for the unloading of the Marines? How exactly to you move it for Imparell's men to make their assault? Does it stay in the second location or move again following this?

Good Questions....sorry did not habe the layout correct in my mind.. MIchael will lead the charge from the ship attached to Tarkington and Impariell will follow. So Michael will have to cross the one ship in order to reach Tarkington

 

[Scotley]

The Retribution sails up beside the burning ship sandwiching it between your ship and Tarkington's. The ogres, bored from their long confinement on Oddesspolis go over the side like demons shouting and laying about with their great clubs. The men abandon their fight against the fire to resist. They fight back with considerable skill and Michael soon finds himself in a real battle.

OOC: Initiative please.

The men of the Retribution take the initiative in the battle forcing their foes, likely pirates now that you are among them, back.

OOC: Roll a d20 please!

Invisible Castle finally likes me again

 

[Scotley]

The men of the Retribution quickly beat their way across the burning pirate ship. Several bold pirates fall to the Ogres and Michael's magical onslaught. Chandar's marines acquit themselves very well working as a team and supporting each other to mop up hot on the heels of the less disciplined Ogres. As you near the second ship, a your next wave of crewmen are moving in to secure the pirate ship in your wake. You feel a spray of mist as the fire pumps are put to work on the burning ship.

OOC: Another d20 if you please.

Leaping onto the second ship you attack a gang of pirates besetting a group of the remaining crew fighting desperately to hold the quarterdeck. Your men sweep into the pirates and they fight tenaciously giving you a challenge, but in the end the Ogres and Marines are just too much for them with the defenders on the other side. Soon the obvious leader goes down to a well placed shot from a fore-top and the handful of remaining pirates try to surrender.
