“I agree with Thuk - a direct approach is better.” Garadh turns to Murphy. “Should we try to arrest them rather than just going in to kill?”

Murphy whispers back, "Up to you. If you capture them I'll bring them back to the docks and haul them in. Most likely each has a warrant on 'em. But if they are killed I doubt anyone will miss the cutthroats much."
With the consensus being to stay together and be dropped off on the opposite side of the drunken sailors, Corporal Murphy maneuvers the vessel and brings you to the other side, holding his skiff steady enough for you to climb over the ledge. He waves silently to you as he struggles to maintain the position of his ship. Your group decides to split up and move on the pirates from both sides, hoping to use the element of surprise.
OOC: You can only move along single file. State who is at the head of each flanking maneuver and who is following which leads.

OOC: Whoa! I was checking the Dunn Wright thread every day waiting for somebody to tell me this was starting and where to go. I only found out when I got an auto-email that Red Knight mentioned me somewhere. I'm at work - I need to read and catch up.

OOC: @Gorgon Heap, Hah! That's what you get falling asleep at the pub. You miss the boat! 
But, you haven't missed much. We are still outside the tower.
"I don't care if they give up and swim back to shore, but if they get in my way, they will taste my sword. Garadh and Cid should go up first. We will go around to the other side and I will lift Lightfeather over the side. She can start using that bow while I climb up."

Lightfeather had merely drifted silently along with the group to this point. An experienced silent warrior from a stoic people, she'd had little to say and and merely did her part by keeping her sharp eyes alert. "I will not simply kill them in their sleep, but if they waken and appear to fight - or shout and give us away - I will strike." She nods at Thuk and waits for the massive half-orc to hoist her atop the wall.

A slight smile makes its way across Cid's face as he prepares to climb aboard the enemy longboat. "Ready if you are." He says as he looks over the group.

The boat was empty, with the crew drinking at the balcony. Corporal Murphy dropped off the adventurers on the other side of the spire's circular balcony and Garadh and Cid crept carefully around its pathway, with the others slightly behind them. The group was nearly upon the drunken and half-awake pirates when the ocean suddenly grew more still.
OOC: Need stealth checks from Garadh and Cid.
Just a quick break down for those that don't know how to do some of the tricks on this board. The interface is easy enough once you learn it. For colored text, just put the following format before each quotation. [ c o l o r = r e d ] , but remove the spaces when you type the color you want in. End a quote with [ / c o l o r ] without the spaces to end the color command. So if I was going to do as I typed above it would look like this though use a different color such as sienna, skyblue, orange and so on.
To make a block of information in which one can hide extraneous information, such as combat stats, use what is called sblocks via the [ s b l o c k ] command and the [ / s b l o c k ] end prompt, but put a title before it such as Stats or Mini-Stats. Sblocks can be also used for me to put information only to be read by a certain character or characters. Or maybe an out of character message for the actual players. It might look like this:
Those new to sblocks
[sblock]
This is what an sblock looks like. when done proper. Just do a reply to quote to my message to locate the code in which it was done.
[/sblock]
For your stats, I am fine with mini-stats dealing only with your combat info as it would help me avoid having to dig up your character sheets on Living Pathfinder. It will also help yourself with a short reference in case the site is down. Put mini-stats in sblock format. I only need them during combat or if it seems we might approach combat, so don't feel you have to put them in all the time.
For Out of Character messages, just type in OOC and your message in the PbP posts. Try to keep it after your in character (IC) actions so I can keep it all separated.
For rolls, the ENWorld system is still down so use Invisible Castle. You can link your rolls using the [ u r l ] prompt and [ / u r l ] end prompt, of course without spaces. Like so:

OOC: No worries. You're colored text served as a decent divider of IC and OOC comments.
