Thinking the prisoner was escaping, but having bigger things to worry about, the captain called for carpentry equipment. Two sailors in the hold brought him a large wooden board, while two from the deck above slid down on the crane's rope (the ladder was a mess of prisoners and guards, vying to escape the flooding hold) and brought with them hammers and nails.The ship's cleric made her way up to the main deck to report what was happening to the mate, who had opened a large trunk full of weapons and was selecting for himself a hand-crossbow and sword. The crew that had been on the dock (and fortunately for them had not fallen in the water) and the crew that had been working on the main deck, all grabbed various weapons in preparation of defending the ship. At the mate's order, two crewmen who had been working the ship's crane moved up to the forecastle and threw a tarp off of a large, swivel-mounted ballista. While this was going on, Jathlin had slid out into the icy water and felt his magic return to him, free of the antimagic field protecting the prison hold. He froze a large block of ice, which very nearly sealed the hole in the hull (it was now a much slower leak). Having done that, he turned to see what was going on, and he found himself face-to-face with two jagged-toothed fish-men. One grabbed him (3 damage) and tried to drag him down while the other tried to run him through with a spear, but to their suprise, he was their equal as a swimmer and did not need to breathe, and he twisted free.On the CliffThe guards and prisoners at the lift's wheel continued their work and the lift raised twenty feet as the bosun (a dwarf nick-named Dogger) peered out the little window, frustrated to be left out of a fray. The crab and its rider passed them by, climbing high above (110/160 feet). The crab-rider twisted in his seat and held a twisted tube-worm blowgun to his mouth and sent two sharp-looking urchin quills directly down toward the octopus below him (2 damage) and turnFour guards at the top of the cliff, wielded crossbows, and they fired at the crab-rider, but by an unfortunate combination of wind, range, and angle (firing directly down from the cliffside was both dangerous and difficult) they all missed. These four guards had worked at the prison for many years, and they understood that the enormous octopus had once been Doc Halfhand. [ooc]Almost done, hang in there. I've got one more thing to do, and I'll give Razum a chance to go but the round is nearly over.[/ooc][spoiler="Rolls"]S1 vs Jathlin<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243288" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243288" target="_blank">Claw: 1D20+4 = [8]+4 = 12; 1D4+2 = [1]+2 = 3</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243288" target="_blank">Bite: 1D20+4 = [1]+4 = 5; miss</a>S2 vs Jathlin<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243289" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243289" target="_blank">Spear: 1D20+4 = [4]+4 = 8 miss</a>Crabrider vs DocOck<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243290" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243290" target="_blank">Blowgun: 2D20.LOW(1)+3 = [7, 8]+3 = 10 miss</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=243290" target="_blank">Blowgun: 2D20.LOW(1)+3 = [19, 10]+3 = 13 for 1D4+1 = [1]+1 = 2</a>[/spoiler]</blockquote>
