[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7925814, member: 59816"] The battle raged on the stern-section of the wreck as Rodrigo danced in and slashed with his rapier against the the enormous ape-like undead and it scratched and snapped at him. Dellrak hacked his with an axe, and Miss Imogen shot it with an arrow, and for a moment, the creature seemed like it was about to fall. Then suddenly, it grabbed Dellrak with all four of its clawed hands and viciously chewed on the unfortunate dwarf. The wound looked terrible and Miss Imogen was nearly certain that her friend would not survive it. Others were faring not much better - the tabaxi were roaring out some sort of coordinated plan, but they needed to get into position and the fleeing crewmen where getting in the way. This log-jam at a crucial spot where Nhar was attempting to get Ra-nas up to the bow of the ship caused an unfortunate accident: Kasqa stepped to the side to let them past, and he lost his footing and fell out of sight into the misty jungle below. No one quite knew how he fared, but the sound of him crashing through the lower branches did not bode well for the Chultan warrior. The captain fired another small quarrel from her hand crossbow, but her hands still shook from her fatigue and the bolt went off into the mist. As a creature moved toward the ship's midsection, Harb stepped in to keep it at bay - first striking it with an arrow, and then defending himself with block-strikes as it came at him. He was scratched, but he held fast as Weed struck a stone off of the undead ape's head. Ukee flew around the tree and headed toward Harb, screeching in her worry. Myrral and Qawasha both tried to slow the furthest creature - the druid caused the tree to wrap its branches about it, and the shaman tried to scare it off with some mind-effecting magic, but neither worked. The creature broke free of the vines and shook off the magic and it hurled itself from the tree toward the midsection of the ship. Miss Imogen had asked Falx if he would use his wand, and he had only just replied, [B]"Only if I have to, miss. It is not best in these conditions."[/B] ...when the creature hurled itself toward him. The man-at-arms flung his hand up and a bolt of flame licked out of the wand. It went past the creature, as if the man had missed, but then suddenly exploded into a large ball of flames that rolled back toward the ship, burning the leaves from the trees and setting some of it on fire. It burned the undead ape that was chewing on poor Dellrak, and the creature slumped over the dwarf, smoldering and still. Unfortunately, the undead ape that was leaping toward Falx was burned, but it didn't stop - instead, it landed on the midsection and clawed at the man, who barely survived as he stumbled back. Brax, the youngest crewman had just climbed up to that section of the ship, and the creature reached out with one arm and grabbed the young man, shoving him into its mouth with a terrible crunch.
