The Missile streaks across the ship and lands squarely on his chest with a loud "thump".The Pirate keels over and falls into the ocean with a loud splash, the dark waters swallows him into the sea.     Drawing his rapier, Finnean vaults the rail and up the stairs. He uses his advantageous position in an attempt to plunge his rapier into the back of the elf archer.     "You can run but you can't hide..." Damien snickered. With that he pulled himself behind the large mast to gain a terrain advantage and released another arrow directly at the gnome.     Arden’s arcane missile hits the elf in the side of the head, killing him before he even reaches the floor.     Ixenvalignat swarms over the gangplank, gracefully (well, at least for a dragonborn in scalemale) sidestepping Jesse, and onto the cutter. Sighting the last man standing he charges for the forecastle, but trips on the stairs, managing not to fall prone, but missing the opportunity to end the battle. Looking the archer dead in the eyes he roars, "You have thirty seconds to live suppleskin!"     Cyrus looks around only noticing the elf archer left standing but then his keen eyes spot it. The gnome coward hiding behind a crate, though his flank lay open to Cyrus. He dashes forwards once again across the deck of the ship, slamming his shoulder hard into the unsuspecting gnome; the blow knocking the gnome off balance, enough for him to slip his rapier between the gnome's ribs. Pulling the blade back out, he stands to his full height. The shadowed figure looms over the gnome. Cyrus grinned.     Jack strides up the stairway. Scanning the horizon to ensure no other boats are approaching. Seeing none, he turns to watch the end of the battle.     Rogar, dazed, attempts to gather his wits.     The archer has seen his captain and comrades stricken down, and even against overwhelming odds, continues the fight. He tosses his bow aside and draws his shorts sword, salutes the dragonborn, then attacks him, but misses as his blade lunges wide.     The gnome wilts under the onslaught. An arrow protruding from his side, and a strange feline-looking creature gloating over him poking his rapier into his other side, the gnome squints its eyes – and disappears! Moments later Cyrus hears twin splashes. Looking down, he notices a pile of sand on the deck. Peering over the bulwark, he sees an empty fire bucket drifting farther and farther away from both the pirate’s cutter and the Salty Dog, no sign of the sneaky gnome.      [sblock=Actions] Rogar: J13, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2996159/" target="_blank">save vs. DAZED (1d20=14)</a>, saves  Jack: moves to Q7     Motley crew: 8 dead  Elf archer 1: f11, free: drop bow; minor: draw shortsword; attacks Ixen (G12); <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2996169/" target="_blank">MBA vs. Ixen (1d20+5=13, 1d6+4=8)</a> ; misses  Elf archer: 2 dead  Gnome arcanist: Fade Away  Pirate Captain: dead[/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.
