Moments later the Dolphin's second cannon roars to life and smashes the mast in half, crippling the junk, leaving it incapable of pursuit. However the hooks remain fiercely embedded into the wood of the Dolphin. Zuri expertly unlatches one and Sabynha struggles uselessly with the other.[sblock=Themes Percetion] From high above the smoke and ash Themes suddenly sees something or rather someone tied to the the splintered mast. Actually there are 3 figures clearly imprisoned. One of them has been crushed by the fallen mast. The other two struggle uselessly against their bonds. They both wear the sigil of Count Varis' red fox upon their breasts.[/sblock]One of the Crew takes up the helm as the others attempt to pull the rope and come closer to the Dolphin, but the chaos that reigns is such that the junk gains no ground whatsoever and the distance remains the same.[sblock=Opposed Nature checks]  <a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=DNVD4RP6" target="_blank">Junk 2 (-3) +4 = 8</a> vs <a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=EM37H72E" target="_blank">The Dolphin (-2) +6 = 24</a> [/sblock][sblock=Status]Kaartus 15/23 HPSabynha 26/28 HPRain 27/31 HPWat 24/28 HPZuri 20/24 HPThemes 22/24 HP; Tangled up in rope high up on mastThe Singing Dolphin 4/8 hits; 1 Grappling Hook attached (-2 to nature checks)Captain Peg 16/24 HP; Dazed TENT (-2 to Nature checks)First Mate Bilge 20/22 HPCrew 26/30 HPCannon 1: Used (2 crew; Kartuus, Rain); Requires RechargeCannon 2: Charged (1 crew; 1 sailor)Junk 1: Crippled (out of the challenge)Junk 2: 0/3 Hits left Crippled (still in challenge)Cannon 1: Used (crew 2); Requires RechargeCannon 2: Used (crew 2); Requires RechargeGrappling Hook 1: Used (freed)Grappling Hook 2: Used (attached)Shugenja: 22/22 HPShugenja Cover 12/12 HPJunk Captain: 102/112 HP Dazed TENTJunk First Mate: 30/38 HP Dazed TENTJunk Crew: 60/60 HP[/sblock][GM] Round 2: Still to Act: Rain and Themes Note: Junk 2 is now within attacking range of Range 10 powers Also: Crippled Junk 2 remains active as long as grappling hooks are attached.  [/GM][sblock=The Dolphin][sblock=Defenses] AC 18 REF 14 Hits: 4/8 before being crippled (Bloodied = 1 fail; Crippled = 2 Fails)If the Dolphin is crippled it will be boarded by the crew of each non crippled junk [/sblock][sblock=Using the Captain and crew<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />Captain: AC 16 Fort 14 Ref 14 Will 13; 16/24 hp Steering ship (Move Action 1/turn): Nature +8 1st mate: AC 15 Fort 14 Ref 13 Will 12; 20/22 hp (Move Action 1/turn) Nature +6; Athletics +8Crew: AC 14 Fort 13 Ref 12 Will 11; 26/30 hp hp (swarm Vulnerable 2; Range, melee ½ dmg)(Move Action 1/turn)Acrobatics +6; Athletics +6; Endurance +6; Thievery +6(Minor Action 2/turn); Requires Charisma based check DC 12 or DC  19 if bloodied: Melee or Ranged attack: +4 vs AC; 4 dmg Requires Charisma based check [/sblock][sblock=Fire the Cannons]Aim the cannons: Minor Action: Strength DC 8 or Thievery DC 12Fire the Cannons: Dungeoneering  or +5 vs AC 17; Success by 5 or more= Crit: 2 HitsFor each person manning a cannon Recharge chance increases by 1 (max 3 people)Extra Effort: 1 person per cannon can spend a  surge and make Athletics of Endurance check 1/roundDC 12: Reroll Cannon recharge DC: 19 Reroll Cannon recharge with chance increased by 1Cannon 1: Used; Crew: 1; Recharge  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" />Cannon 2: Used; Crew: 2; Recharge <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/5.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":5:" title="Five    :5:" data-shortname=":5:" /> or <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/6.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":6:" title="Six    :6:" data-shortname=":6:" /> [/sblock][sblock=Ram a Junk] Align the Dolphin: Nature or +3 vs REF to align the side of a junk 1/round; Requires 3 successes before 2 fails in a row; For each success by 5 or more add 1 hit to damage caused to the junk. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/1.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":1:" title="One    :1:" data-shortname=":1:" /> SuccessAid Alignment: Athletics, Endurance, Acrobatics or Thievery (max 1 of each per round) DC 12; each success provides the aligning of the Dolphin with a +1 bonusRamming a Junk: Requires Alignment; +10 vs AC; Hit: Causes 3 hits worth of dmg and 1 to the Dolphin; Miss: Causes 2 hits of dmg and 2 to the Dolphin.
