I'm trying to simplify things and keep each round as a single post. I'll edit and add in actions as they occur. Charlotte unleashes another burning ray, lighting the oiled sails easily.Mortimer quickly cranks and looses another bolt, dropping the second orc marauder in the lead boat.Sildarin flies up at an angle, loosing another shaft into another one of the orcs, which falls over from his uncanny accuracy. Free Action: Spot check from Sildarin please Keith takes cover, trying to conceal his prescence, but isn't able to see any targets on shore. Listen check from Keith please. Rallyn uses his telekinetic abilities against one of the orcs. It struggles briefly, then draws an axe and chops down his companion (boat #12) . Lyrique runs down into the crowd of people, desperately looking for his parents. As he runs headlong into the throng, the surrounding villagers stare at him in shock and disbelief. Some of them are looking toward the now flaming hulks of the longboats that brought them there with a mixture of glee and fear. Lyrique's father is standing staring at the first burning boat with a satisfied smile on his face. At his feet is Lyrique's mother, sitting on a makeshift bundle of coats.Boromin, panting in his steel armor, is racing straight toward Lyrique, following him through the pack of citizens.Paendaerig readies.... (Sildarin notices nothing from his spot check) Travellios launches forth a fireball, placing it craftily in the rear of the orcish fleet, decimating those orcs, leaving nothing but flinders and corpses. Travellios could more effectively place it to get boats 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12. The orcs appear to be fully in rout. The one survivor in one of the two lead boats fumbles briefly for his axe, realizes he is completely outclassed and leaps - suicidally most probably, from the water temperature - into the ocean, swimming away.The two blinded orcs in the rear of the small fleet are unable to see, but are calling out to their companions, with arrows nocked and half drawn. they appear to have readied actions, but are also quite blind.Casualties: Six orcs set afire in the middle, they're not doing well. (In boats # 3,4,5).  All two orcs in the lead boat (#1) are dead; it is on fire. One orc in boat number two is dead; boat #2 is on fire. The remaining orc in boat #2 has a greased weapon. Three of the four orcs in the southeastern two boats (#9, 10) appear to be blinded; Sildarin kills the unblinded one in Round 1.Crude Boat diagram (should've numbered them in advance)2+*...1++*5++*...4++*...3++*8++...7++...6++12++...11++...10++...9bb* = on fire+= dead orcb = blindedited to clarify boat 8 being in the initial fireball blast.</blockquote>
