Nissa is able to retreat to the quarterdeck for a better vantage point while Aedon backs up toward the port side and tries to make sense of things.
[sblock=Nissa]Aedon's back is to the water and he's obviously distracted by the scene playing out before you. He doesn't immediately notice the two men climbing over the port-side rails, but you can make spot them well enough.[/sblock]
[sblock=Aedon (Perception DC 15)]Even though the scene before you has your complete attention, you somehow notice the two men slipping quietly over the port-side rails behind you.[/sblock]
J'hanna is the first to see action as one of the men charge toward her the instant he notices her armor through the lifting fog. She's ready for him though, and he runs head-on into the edge of her blade. Garrison seizes the moment and seems to appear from thin air behind the assailant, finishing him off with a quick strike of his short sword.
Maighan awakens the old wood momentarily and is able to hinder that avenue of approach at least for the time being. One of the assailants manages to dance his way through the conjured foliage bury his scimitar into the first crewman he sees.
"No!" It was Jon's shouting voice that stole her concentration only for an instant. Maighan turned, and he pointed. "Get them. Find a way!" She saw what he was referring to: on the other ship stood three men together, watching. One was in a wizarding robe not unlike those of the visitors from Blackthorn. The other two wore mail armor, and it was the one in the center who appeared to be giving the directions.

"Take her out," the captain said, placing a hand on Justice's shoulder. That caster's going to be a thorn until we get rid of her; she's likely the one who set our sails alight. Grab another board, and Thomerin will cover you from here.
[sblock=Justice, Perception DC 15]The captain mentions the burning sails and you can't help but look up to the flames. While some of the sails are indeed burning, and subsequently being dealt with by the crew, that particular sail, you notice, is completely intact with no immediately obvious signs of ever having been on fire.[/sblock]
