Erekose's Savage Tide - Act 1: There is No Honour

As another of those sent with him falls, Nathan knows it is now or never to reclaim the advantage. Seeing the path to the longshoreman open, Nathan races towards him and hopes that Alix can keep Vark distracted while he tries to heal the longshoreman.

[sblock=OOC]Here is hoping this works. Sprint to Jerrell and then CLW, will give precise spell swap later when I have a chance, but have to try something. Converting Command to CLW.[/sblock]

(OOC: T5 should be listed as fled if I read the flavour text of 'overboard' correctly, right? So only T7 and Vark alone, eh. Chivalry lives on--the girl is probably a better idea so she'll drop sooner, but he'll aim at Vark, who is now not in melee hopefully. If he still is, can it and have him hit her, regretfully)

"My dear, I shall not strike a lady when there is such a horrid fashion-senseless brute here instead. But why throw your lot in with him? You went from 8 to 2, and we still have 3 of 5, soon to be 4 it seems. Surely such a fine looking lady has brains to match her beauty?"
 


(OOC: There are no enemies between Alix and the girl, correct? He'll hold and ready an attack to use when she takes action. He'll change the beginning, 'I shall not strike a lady' to 'I dearly wish not to mar such a lovely face' and end 'I'm afraid if you refuse to desist, I shall have to shoot you. Though you may die before anyone can help you, I shall still try to deliver your unconscious form gently to the proper authorities.' When she takes action, he'll use his prepared Eldritch Blast. If she has gone overboard as he hopes, he'll shoot Vark, who may probably still be in melee, and if not, he'll hit her with a bit of regret)
 

[Round 5]

Julian's inspiring song lingers faintly on the air providing Tereg, Nathan, and Alix with renewed confidence.

Alix delays, hesitant to fire on a woman.

Convinced by the display and lack of support the woman (T7) does indeed head for the far side of the boat. Shooting a glance back to Vark, she jumps overboard.

Tereg hits with one of his daggers and its a good hit, but without flanking it doesn't affect Vark too much.

Nathan sprints over to Jerrell and administers his blessing. Jerrell is brought to consciousness, though it'll take a moment to clear his head.

EDIT: Seeing Vark is the only opponent, Alix takes a pot shot and misses.

"I don't need them, you'll all fall to my blade before I let you take my ship." screams Vark as he turns on Tereg... and misses horribly.

[sblock=ooc]Alix is still delaying unless he wants to shoot into melee. His boat is getting a little far along now and may need an adjustment soon.

Damage recap:
Alix
Jerrell 1/13 - prone
Tereg
Nathan 7/10
Julian -3/7 - unconscious and bleeding on the deck
T1 - unconscious and bleeding on the deck
T2 - 6 dmg, fled
T3 - 7 dmg, fled
T4 - unconscious and bleeding on the deck
T5 - 5 dmg, fled
T6 - 2 dmg, fled
T7 - fine, fled
Vark - 8 dmg[/sblock]

Jerell stands up, taking back his weapon and shield. "Heal me again, or I'll fall on the next hit." tells Jerell, wanting to end that as soon as possible. After he got heal again, he will move next to Vark and prepare to attack him.
 

(OOC: Shooting into melee is better than not shooting at all--could you have Alix fire into melee with the -4 immediately after the girl jumps (and thus before Vark went and missed Tereg)? )
 


(OOC: Alright, no problem. The crucial thing is that he gets to try again this round before Vark anyway, so as you can see, there was nothing to be gained by not trying. And as a card-carrying member of the Warlock club, he has nothing to do but shoot some more :D)

"Vark, you imbecile. Can't you see when you've lost? Your friends did. Oh, of course not. You're distracted by the fact that you're so attracted to men that you just sit and watch the dance of your own destruction. I think it's time for a short poem--

There once was a moron named Vark
Who stole a girl's boat on a lark
He hung out with his crew
Til they jumped off on cue
As for Vark, he was fed to a shark."
 

[sblock=ooc]Sorry for the delay, for some reason, I didn't get the EnWorld message saying a new post was up...:([/sblock]

As the longshoreman staggered to his feet, Nathan could see that while his wounds had closed over some, he didn't look nearly as hale as he did before the fight began.

Reaching out and calling upon the Merchant's blessing, Nathan felt a warmth flow from his hand and into Jerell's battered body.
