[D&D 3.5/Eberron] A Quick One While He's Away

[MadMaxim]

Gannon follows Rawhide to investigate the noise that came from the aft quarter of the ship. "I'm with you, Rawhide. Perhaps we have stowaway on board the ship..." he says, sounding rather suspicious as he reaches for the heavy mace in his belt. He has seen way too many ugly things happen to the unprepared so he doesn't take any chances. After all, it could be a sahuagin...

 

[Old Fezziwig]

OOC: Update coming either late this afternoon or late tonight...I've a got me some photoshoppin' to do.

 

[Ashy]

OOC: Uh oh.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Racket, stowaway? What are you talking about?" The warforged asks, unsure why the two companions act this way.

 

[Krug]

Plonk readies his crossbow. "It doesn't sound good."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Gannon, Rawhide: As you turn to look over the starboard quarter, you find out that it is, in fact, sahuagin. Two of them to be precise, and both scaling the hull with their sharp talons. You can see their webbed heads and sharp fangs. More than anything, they vaguely resemble some sort of hideous cross between sharks and lizardfolk.

Plonk, Flawed: As Gannon and Rawhide sidle over to the gunwhale, you hear a distinctive thonk — someone's climbing the boat. Up on the main deck, you can see De Vere and a crew member turn their heads towards starboard. Instantly, the captain yells out, "Sahuagin! Sahuagin!"

The crew, startled, turn their attentions away from Stormreach and onto the threat at hand.

Initiative
Flawed 20 (roll of 15, +5 Init)

OOC: Please post your actions for the next three rounds. Your characters are aware that there are likely more than these two, based on conversations you've had with crew members and Starbuck during the passage.

Turn 1: Casts bless (+1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves versus fear effects for 20 rounds to all allies within a 50-foot radius of Gannon) and approaches the sahuagin with his heavy mace raised, ready to strike.
Turn 2: Strikes at the nearest sahuagin with his heavy mace.
Turn 3: Keeps on attacking any sahuagin he sees. Comes to the aid of party members or crew if they're severely wounded and casts cure light wounds by converting his other 1st-level spells.

 

[Knight Otu]

1: Crossbow bolt at the nearest Sahuagin.
2: Close in on Sahuagin, if possible cast burning hands (as long as it doesn't damage the ship)
3: Fight with battleaxe

 

[Krug]

"A-a-and it was s-s-s-such a safe journey too!"says Plonk, looking for cover.
1. Action point to cast Personal Weapon Augmentation (Flaming)
2-3: Crossbow bolt at nearest sahuagin, preferably one near the water. He will constantly be looking for the cover or hiding behind Flawed.

 

[MadMaxim]

"Well, it just turned out to be a little less safe, Plonk..." Gannon snaps at Plonk. He's obviously angered by having these fish-people spoil an otherwise quiet journey. He seems almost eager to spill their blood, gripping the heavy mace tightly in his right hand.
