Shando continues to apply lethal force to his opponent.

In close quaters with the single pirate, Shando pounds the pirate three times and throws him off the mast to his death.

Dyria, Timrin, and Alethia face down the metal man. Looking at him closer, you see that his form is very human-like. His metal form includes pants, but otherwise, you can see very detailed musculature that moves and twitches in an extremely accurate fashion. You notice what appears to be heraldry on his forehead. It is shaped like two scythes, with handles that angle back, facing each other in such a way that they nearly meet and form a circle. Between them is a circle with an upright hourglass in the center.

Before anyone can act (metal man wins init), the floor below him crackles with blue energy and curls up, throwing Riana and her desk at Timrin and Dyria, who manage to avoid taking a direct hit from it. The metal man falls through the floor and starts running towards the other side of the ship.
 


"Ha ha! Fortune favors the bold!" Dyria cried out, then leapt into the hole after the metal man, and used her whip to snag something on the way down so she could land gently.

How far did the metal man fall and can Alethia make the jump?

Its only several feet. He basically just made a hole in the floor to get to the deck below.

Those following him (Dyria, Timrin, Alethia?) find that they are on the second deck, which seems to primarily be used for defense. There are a number of cannons and emplacements for crossbows and wands lining the sides. It goes the length of the ship, although some areas are walled off, probably for direct access to lower levels, especially the cargo hold, from the deck.

Those on top find that there are stairs in the middle and at the far end of the ship, as well as a grating that can be removed for direct access to the cargo hold. There is a platform and pulls system just above it.

The PC casters and Shando do what?

Maggie runs down the far stairs in hopes of cutting the metal man off. She notices the just beyond the stairs is the room where the gunpowder and alchemist's fire for the weapons on this level are kept. "Um...guys...We may have a problem here!," she shouts, as the metal man moves closer, with those following him only able to keep pace.

Alethia clicks the heels of her boots together, enacting the haste-effect of the boots of speed. She lunges after the metallic monstrosity, her body a blur as she forgoes her bow in exchange for the mace, after hearing Maggie's warning. Alethia's mace is glowing with nearly blinding celestial radiance, under which is the softer glow of the mace's normal holy light.
 

(None of the casters/above deckers can be there by now, so I'm posting what happens, but please post your actions. Particularly, is Fin going to try his Metal to Wood trick?)

Alethia and Timrin activate their haste boots and manage to catch up with the metal man most of the ay through the ship (Dyria?)

He seems to ignore them, dodging and running but not fighting back. Alethia's first attack misses, and she tries again as he runs away, but she only grazes him. Timrin dives in with his strongest attack (smite, holy surge, power attack 5, divine might, etc). The sword cuts into the metal man, hurting him badly (75 dmg), but he just keeps running. As he runs, he extends his hand, and blue energy appears around the cannons. Pieces of metal and gunpoweder move towards his hand and coalesce, then are propelled with a lous whoosh of air towards the door of the storage room. Lt. Cmdr. Kiran stands her ground as the shards cut into her and even as some explode (42dmg). You arent sure if she can take a hit like that again, but for now he hasnt breached the storage room.
 


Dyria ran after Timrin and Alethia (though not as quickly, lacking haste) and headed towards Kiran, hoping to shield her from another blast if she could get to her in time.
