Elven Navy Delta Squad: Thought Taker

[Old Fezziwig]

Akodo waits until they've actually started boarding the Eel, and then he throws the sleep spell at the boarders — hopefully this'll make Chjargal and Marcus have little more to do than mop up. "Hopefully this'll combine with the vines to make this all a bit easier."

OOC: Save DC for sleep: Will 15 (10 + level 1 + 2 Cha + 2 Air/spell focus). Lasts 5 minutes (1 min/level), affects 2d4 HD, area 15 ft. radius burst.

Somehow forgot the earlier post about Akodo casting sleep. Thanks for repeating it.

Akodo casts sleep on the front of the ship, dropping three of the enemy. They come at the weapon's deck from many angles, by rope and by making reckless leaps from the deck of the drakkar. Amanu takes one out with magic missle, while another receives Marcus's dagger with a grunt. Several of the raiders are given pause by Cramp, but six or more gather ten feet from Marcus and prepare to attack en masse. Marcus also takes a hit from a throwing axe tossed by one of the boarders (7 damage).

Ten other boarders split into small groups, going after Akodo, Amanu, and the crew of the moray. Aboard the drakkar, the men trapped in the vines are throwing daggers and anything else within reach at Chjargal. One scores a hit against the bugbear (4 damage). The druid and Theryndil continue firing arrows. Theryndil drops the warrior previously hit by Marcus.

Delta Squad now spots two possible enemy leaders. Both warriors are a little more heavily armed than the rest. One has fiery red hair and beard, and moves towards Marcus with a masterwork greataxe. The other has drooping grey whiskers and carries a morningstar. He appears to be dragging a robed man behind him as he nears the junction of the two ships.

Amanu also unleashes a sleep spell at those gathered before him. He'll then move towards where Marcus is in an attempt to help him, drawing his spear as he approaches.

Akodo drops a cat's grace on himself and moves towards the a point behind the main group of melee fighters — "Delta Squad! Any of you two want a cat's grace?"

Edit: Fixed the flying thing and adjusted my post so that things make sense.

"Mrrargh!" Chjargal spits out as the thrown dagger leaves a red streak across his upper right thigh. Spotting the two possible leaders, Chjargal aims for the one closest and tries to do as much damage as possible with his longbow.

OOC: If the leaders are equal distances, Chjargal will try to take out the redhead and cut down on Marcus' opposition. Edited out the flying reference

 

[Old Fezziwig]

OOC: Damn. I forgot y'all were flying. I'll amend my post above. Silly range of "touch."

 

[Keia]

"I'm interested in the Grace." In his best barbarian imitation Marcus lets out a yell and brandishes his spiked chain [intimidate]. He's looking for as many AoO's as he can get as they attack [1+Dex Mod - more with Cat's grace!! Thanks!]

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Akodo nods, "As soon as I can get there, you've got it, Marcus."

OOC: Shy of drastic stuff happening, my next round's action will be to move up to Marcus and cast cat's grace on him. I would have swapped it around to do it this round, but I'm going to need the AC bonus if I'm going to be wading into melee to do this.

Amanu's sleep spell works like a charm, dropping four of the six boarders nearby. The other two glare at him as he draws his shortspear. They charge forward with battleaxes. One draws blood from Amanu's leg (9 damage).

Akodo quickly graces himself (+5 Dex) before two other barbaric humans strike at him. His new agility helps him easily avoid both attackers.

Marcus snaps one of the waiting warriors with his chain, dropping a black-bearded tough. The others choose that moment to spring forward. Marcus is able to put down another with an attack of opportunity, but four others move in to close quarters. He is hit three times in a few seconds (12 damage).

Theryndil nicks the red-haired leader (8 damage), who snatches up a nearby spear and throws it at the nomad (3 damage). Chjargal hits the grey-whiskered one (8 damage), who responds by casting a spell. A glowing battleaxe appears in the air near the bugbear and begins chopping at him. Chjargal moves the gadabout in quick evasive manuevers.

The crew of the moray, led by Hector, engage two other boarders. It looks like the number of boarders will grow, as one by one they free themselves from the entangle.

"Marcus, you may have to wait on that grace, I've got some new friends!" He takes a 5 ft. step back, away from his barbarian buddies and fires his crossbow at the uglier of the two.

OOC: With the enhancement bonus, Akodo's Dex becomes 21 (+5), his AC 17, and his BAB with his crossbow +7. Point Blank Shot'll raise that up to +8 with this attack. Damage = 1d10. Hopefully this'll take care of one of them.
