Heroes, Inc. Day 3+, Voyage to Sarkon

[DM_Matt]

Fin nods. "I can arrange something," he assures them.

OOC: Preparing two Swim spells (Complete Arcane), and two Cloak of the Sea spells (Complete Adventurer).

Sorry for the delay - I haven't had much chance to sort this. I'll update my spell lists as soon as I get the chance.

Fin and Arundel are happy to take the mid-ground - not in the main teleport assault, but closing by sea. /OOC

What do Fin and Arundel plan on doing when they get to/in range of the ship?

ooc:
Alethia replaced her necklace of adaptation/health. She can now exist comfortably underwater. She'll go with Fin and Arundel.

Alethia looked at Fin and Arundel. "While I can breath underwater thanks to the necklace of adaptation I replaced," she tapped the medallion hanging from her neck. "I'm not much of a swimmer." she admits ruefully.

 

[DM_Matt]

You put your plan into action. Fin lets the storm die down some. Maggie reminds everyone of the various strategies for fighting these folks (dmg bonus again). Their crew is quite short-handed, so they are too busy trying to sail to see the attackers just under the surface of the waves. They also are almost exclusively above-decks.

Murdoch glides accross the water and up the side of the ship. He blasts the deck with energy twice, killing five.

The group that teleports in flying allows themself to fall, activates the fly magic to not hit the ground, and strikes at crewmen.


[I just noticed no Keia post. Oh well]. Crimson's firey bolts kill another five.

Dyria drops onto a mast and uses her whip to trip one of the pirates in the crows nest. He falls, bounces off the sail, and lands in the sea with a loud splash.

Shando lands in the oher crows nest with a flying kick, stunning the pirate inside.

Timrin lands in front of the captain's cabin, his sword glowing with holy energy. The two guards move towards him, but in one great slash he vuts both in two.

The others reach the ship without incident. There are no more pirates on deck. There may be a few more below decks.

Timrin hears noises coming from the captains cabin and kicks the door in, ready to keep fighting. He sees that the mitheril man has transmuted one arm into a metal garotte around Riana's neck. He is strangling her and holding her against a desk. The other hand is a sword. Timrin sees him repeatedly driving it into her. By the last strike, she doesnt even flinch. Timrin thinks she may be dead. The metal man looks up at Timrin, but says nothing.

Alethia pulls herself onto the ship and sees Timrin run for the cabin. She follows with several curses and skids to a halt, seeing the metal-man strangle and stab his puppet Rianna. Without hesitation, she lets fly with as many arrows as she can, making sure not to hit Timmy. (Point blank shot, fast shot). The mace at her side is glowing with celestial radiance.

OOC: If that's before spell preparation, Fin'll prepare a third Swim spell. If it's after, you're out of luck

Fin's intention is to head around to the bow of the ship, some distance out in the water, and watch for anyone attempting to escape, by swimming or flying. An elemental summoning is on the tip of his tongue... though whether water or air, or neither, remains to be seen... /OOC

 

[kirinke]

ooc
Assume before.

 

[kirinke]

Didn't expect that, the voice remarked wryly.

ooc:
The protection from evil spell should still be in effect and should prevent the metal man from dominating/commanding her.

 

[Falkus]

Dyria chuckeled as she sent the pirate over the edge, then spotted the others entering the ship. She immediately leapt out of the crows nest, and used her whip to catch a hold of the mast before she hit the ground, and then climbed down from there to join Alethia and Timrin.

 

[Hawkeye]

How high is the mast?
