Scott,

I am confused about attacking while being held - grappled. I can understand not being able to attack with two weapons, maybe my other hand is busy but do I still get two attacks with my primary hand? But why is it that I can only deal damage as an unarmed attack if I already have the dagger out, and am stabbing with it,why would I not produce damage from it?

OOC: You can make one attack with one dagger while grappled. That assumes you already have one in hand, which you do.
 



The battle continues.

Morwyn continues to struggle against the squid's grasp. Rook rolls into motion and soon sinks his blade into the the squid, but not deeply. Marienna and the raging crewman manage to cut Morwyn free of the tentacle. Finn manages to fire another pistol and free himself at the cost of a powder burn to the abdomen. Gnurl puts his magic to use again and thick sticky webs descend on the attacking undead. The cover the deck from mast to forecastle and rail to rail. The webs prove marvelously effective and only one of the sea zombies and the largest of the crabs manage to pull free. The others struggle. Radoon fails to mark the rubbery appendage gripping him, but several crew members below deck have gotten organized and attack severing the tentacle with cutlasses. One crewman is now trapped in the webs. Others continue to fire or reload with little effect this time. The remaining trapped crew-member on the aft castle swings his belaying pin without effect and dies with a sickening crunch as the tentacle crushes his ribcage. The squid may have lost nearly all its tentacles, but the beak comes frighteningly close to clamping on Morwyn's arm proving the huge creature is not out of the fight yet.

OOC: New round. Actions?
 

Rook

In his usual patient, methodical style, Rook continues whittling away at the opposition. He somersaults and rolls to an advantageous position for an attack on a Sea Zombie (OOC: #3; Tumble Check (1d20+13=19, 1d20+11=16)), thrusting with DúbhRásúr in a long lunge at the end of his tumble. The rotten, briny creature slips the blow neatly, allowing the black blade to pass just under its left arm.

Unless there are other critters below deck or if anything needs attention here, I will proceed back to the top deck and call for the men here to follow.
 

Moving

Hi guys,

I will be in the process of moving to Chicago starting tomorrow. I will tear down the PC in the early AM so will not be able to post for the next few days. Scott please take care of Radoon and play him as you see fit after noon on Thurs the 15th.
