I wasn't around last night to post. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  However, I am glad that Zumar showed up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Let the battle begin... if you have any questions about my format, feel free to ask. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />InitiativePirates - 17Katherine - 15Crew - 14Ricardo - 12Zumar - 11Hallandor, Remi - 9ao'Thuir - 6The side of the Gazelle is bombarded by thrown grappling hooks, and five of the six manage to find purchase on the railing and rigging in various locations all along her side.Three pirates begin securing the lines, while three others pull out small weapons that look similar in size to hand crossbows, but are much bulkier and are much different in appearance.Katherine begins urging the men on, her voice is clear and loud through the fog, and the crew's spirits appear to be bolstered by her speaking...Inspire Courage +1.The three crew members up top - Thamior, Warden, and Marques - fire their crossbows at the pirates arming themselves.Two crossbow bolts plunge into the side of the enemy ship, but one pierces the skull of one of those with a weapon, and the pirate falls to the deck.Ricardo pulls out a short sword, and hacks at one of the grappling hooks entangled in the rigging.  The rope snaps as his sword cleaves through it.Zumar loads his crossbow, keeping it carefully hidden, watching the enemy ship's deck...Hallandor scans the enemy deck while loading his heavy crossbow, looking for someone who appears to be in charge......but he can't seem to spot anyone, with all the movement going on.Meanwhile, Remi shoots at one of the pirates securing a line...He gets an 12, which misses....but his arrow falls short, imbedding itself with a *thunk* into the enemy craft's hull.ao'Thuir fires his light crossbow at one of the pirates...He gets a 6, which misses....but his shot goes wide, landing in the sea below.  He then unsheathes his greatsword, and readies himself for the pirate's attack.KillsPirates - (1)-----End of round 1.</blockquote>
