Malvoisin's Savage Tide, Act 1 - There Is No Honor

[Voadam]

In between chanting another charm to keep the pirate captain one step in the land of the fey Kalen will suggest "Milady, if you would be so kind as to lower your arms no more blood need be spilled." He will also bend down to disarm the unconscious pirate whose mind is temporarily overcome by prismatic colors.

[Rhun]

The blood flowing from his shoulder beginning to slow as Keoni's aura begins to heal his wound, Anar steps forward toward Vark, again thrusting with the tip of his blade. He hopes that this time his rapier finds something other than air to cut into.



Attack vrs. Vark: +2 rapier (damage 1d6+2/18-20)
HP: 4/8, AC: 16

 

[Land Outcast]

Nicolai rushes for the door deftly avoiding the Ugly One and blocking a possible escape route.

OOC: Move up to the door and Full Defense

 

[Tonks]

Seeing the battle well in hand and cursing the fact that Istishia had allowed the man to ignore the command, Damash felt the gash on his arm closing and wondered if perhaps his god had mistaken the request for a call for healing. Not wanting the benefit to be wasted on him alone, Damash reached down; placed his hand on Col's arm and invoked the Deep One's healing gifts once more.

[sblock=ooc]Convert Bless to CLW. At the moment, Damash would just get in the way of all the other fighters.[/sblock]

 

[hafrogman]

Banter forgotten, Keoni focuses on trying to end the battle. With Vark still reeling from the spell, the young shaman lances out towards the pirate.

[sblock=ooc]You know, can I request a new die? Or at least that you roll something with more than one digit in it. kthxbye.

SA: Attack Vark. Attack +1, 1d6+1 dmg, 20/x3[/sblock]

 

[Malvoisin]

COMBAT ROUND 4

Keoni, determined to fight more effectively, makes a thrust at Soller Vark. Unfortunately, the shaman stumbles on the wood planking on the Nixie's deck, and the tip of his spear comes nowhere near Vark.

Looking at the bloodshed around her, Vark's last standing companion throws down her rapier. "Forget this, Vark. It don't be worth my life. Please, spare me!" she begs. "Betraying witch!" Vark spits at her.

Kalen tries again to cloud the mind of Vark, causing him to stuck in a fugue of inaction, but this time the thugs' leader resists the beguiler's charm. He utters an unprintable curse in Kalen's direction.

Anar closes with Vark and thrusts with his rapier, but Vark dodges the attack.

Damash kneels beside Col, who had been regaining health thanks to the shaman's aura of vitality. With a prayer to Ishtishia on his lips, the Aventi witnesses the erratic old man's eyes flutter open. Col has regained consciousness!

Holding up his arms to ward off attack, Nicolai charges across the deck of the Blue Nixie, looking to prevent Vark from reentering the captain's quarters.

Vark screams at Chongo, "Murdering Savage! I've never been havin' a use for the looks of you! Eat steel!" His rapier thrust goes wide of the raging tribesman, and with another vile curse, he yells out even louder, "Mera, burn them! Burn them all!" His words are cut off with a grunt of pain as Chongo's spear tears a terrible, bloody gash in his side.

Vark's orders were enough, however. Plumes of white smoke begin to drift up through the grate in the Blue Nixie's deck, and a cacophony of terrified cries of animals and birds can be heard coming up from below.

[stonegod]

With a start, the old man's eyes fly open. Their piercing hazel orbs fixate on the docksman a moment, and the old one's hand grasps the young ones. The grip is surprisingly firm.

"Glad I was a'right about you, speaker of Istishia," the old man says quietly, coming to his feet. Hearing the cacophony raging below, the old man bellows, "What in all the Layers of the Pit is goin' down there!" Clutching his longspear, the old man tries to peer down the grate.

OOC: I'm assuming the grate is big enough to see through, but not big enough to easily be attacked through. If that latter is the case, he'll try to look from farther away.

 

[GwydapLlew]

Chongo's murderous rage lessens a fraction when he sees Col stagger back to consciousness. He continues to slowly circle the sailor, waiting for an opportunity to draw more of Vark's blood.

"Below decks! Fire must be stopped before ship burns!"

[sblock=OOC]Move as necessary to keep Vark within my attack zone and attacking him![/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

"Damn," swears Anar at the sight of the smoke. As he again thrusts his rapier toward the quick-dodging Vark, he shouts to his companions. "Someone stop that fire!"



I'm 0 for 3 on attacks, lets see if I can go 0 for 4!
Attack vrs. Vark: +2 rapier (damage 1d6+2/18-20)
HP: 4/8, AC: 16

 

[hafrogman]

Keoni groans at his own bad luck and tries once again to disable the pirate who has caused them so much grief. He focuses his mind on the strength of the sea sepents once more, and imagines their power flowing into his arms. Hoping to catch Vark unaware, he lances out as the orcishly ugly human is distracted by the scruffy looking man behind him.

At the sight of fire and sounds from below he fires off a question to the surrendered pirate while he continues to fight her leader.

"What is down there?"

[sblock=ooc]I don't know if Nicolai threatens, but Attack +1 (3 if flanking)
Switching to Power Aura, sorry Kalen. 1d6+2 damage.[/sblock]
