Rogar had the sails trimmed last night due to the rising winds and thunderheads off in the distance. Apparently the pirate cutter was running dark, as they closed in on the Salty Dog, but due to the diligence of Cyrus and Fin there’s no threat of ambush; you and your companions were not caught unaware. Be that as it may, the pirates were prepared as well.     [sblock=Initiative]  Finnean: 7   Ixenvalignat: 8  Cyrus: 6  Pirates: 10 <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2993542/" target="_blank">Pirate's initiative (1d20+2=10)</a>  Damien: 28!  Ardens: 6  Jesse: 19  Rogar: 6 <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2993708/" target="_blank">Initiative (1d20+5=6)</a>  Jack: 17 <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2993710/" target="_blank">Initiative (1d20+5=17)</a>    Damien and Jesse are the only ones able to act first before the pirates. I’ll assume that as soon as Cyrus detected the cutter, he shouted out to warn the others. Assume everyone else is below deck, prone. I’ll say 2 moves (or double move) to stand and reach the deck, minor to arm yourselves.  When you arrive on deck (G6), tell me what square you arrive in.Jack's turn, he will get up, run to the galley and warn Braedin and the sailors there (he assumes that the PCs heard Cyrus' shout)[/sblock]     [sblock=Terrain, please read]The Salty Dog  Rogar keeps a tight ship, everything is secured and tidy.  Bulwark: Runs the perimeter of the Salty Dog’s main deck; 3 feet high.
