"There is no time for thanks.."
Damash's words die in his throat as the call to set fire to the ship is given.
'What lunacy is this?'
As Kalen turns to head below decks to deal with the fire, Damash sees Chongo closing in on Vark and knows the he and the others will get the madman soon.
"Come Col. We must put out the blaze below."
[sblock=ooc]Follow behind Kalen to put out the blaze before they get any larger.[/sblock]

"Damn ye! Ugly scurby dog!" Nicolai again advances -now pole-vaulting over obstacles- towards the grate at top speed to see what's going on... and if possible, solve it...
No! I had my hands almost on the her! don't burn!!!
OOC: WIthdraw towards grate, if he sees fire, he starts discharging Ice Rays (but stops if it seems not to have any effect)

COMBAT ROUND 5
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 man is distracted by the scruffy looking man behind him. Still, Vark is quicker, and the ugly fellow evades Keoni's spear thrust.
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?"
The woman glances sideways at Vark and shakes her head. Clearly, she is too afraid of Vark to answer with the brute standing right next to her.
-----------------------
"Mera! In the name of Lord Islaran put out that fire now! Vark is done and you must help immediately!" Kalen shouts as he heads down the ladder to the hold, the words to mind magic at the ready. As the beguiler climbs surely down, there is the sound of a terrific crash, followed by a woman's high-pitched scream and a strange, shrill keening. Kalen's sharp elven eyes try to focus through the hazy smoke to see what could have caused such a commotion....
-----------------------
With a start, Col'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. Unfortunately, with the stinging wisps of smoke floating up from below deck, the archivist cannot make out what is going on. He does hear the same odd sounds as Kalen (crash, scream, trilling), and wonders what could be going on down there.
------------------------
"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!" Distracted as he is by the unexpected happenings below deck, Anar's rapier thrust is nowhere near Vark, who laughs at the rogue's poor attempt to stab him. "Ha Ha! Pathetic!"
-------------------------
"There is no time for thanks.." Damash says softly to Col. Damash's words die in his throat as the call to set fire to the ship is given.'What lunacy is this?'As Kalen turns to head below decks to deal with the fire, Damash sees Chongo closing in on Vark and knows the he and the others will get the madman soon."Come Col. We must put out the blaze below." Damash follows behind Kalen, and climbs down the ladder into the hold, concerned at the terrible noises he hears...
-------------------------
"Damn ye! Ugly scurvy dog!" Nicolai again advances -now pole-vaulting over obstacles- towards the grate at top speed to see what's going on... and if possible, solve it...
No! I had my hands almost on the her! don't burn!!!Nicolai hopes to launch a bolt of ice at the first sign of roaring flame. While he can't quite get to the edge of the grate, he does see thick, roiling white smoke billowing up from below. Beyond that, he can't tell what's going on down there, but some truly horrific sounds tell him that all is not well.
---------------------------
Soller Vark shouts in Chongo's face, "Taste me steel, darkskin!" as he thrusts wildly at the barbarian, just missing with his vicious rapier thrust.
---------------------------
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!"
Chongo lashes out once more with his bloodied spear, but this time the leader of the thugs is able to avoid the brutal attack.
----------------------------
Below deck, Kalen and Damash see the hold is full of eye-stinging smoke, but only a few small licks of flame are to be seen creating it. Apparently, Mera is not too good at lighting fires, and the Blue Nixie doesn't appear to be in imminent danger of burning.
The hold is full of cages, and the cages contain an assortment of exotic animals...multi-hued birds, monkeys, small jungle cats and the like that fill the place with their cries of terror at the smoke.
What's much worse, however, is the creature that they spy munching on the savaged body of a woman...prerhaps this was Mera? The thing is spider-like, and the size of a pony, dark brown with yellow stripes, its furred legs long and spindly. As it notices the newcomers, the front pair of the creature's ten legs rear up threateningly, their tips flattening into terrible discs studded with dozens of hooked suckers. The monster's head is horribly oversized, dominated by immense mandibles that chatter and clack with obvious hunger. The larger iron cage in the corner, with door ajar, answers any questions as to where the thing came from. With fresh prey now in the hold, the creature moves aggressively toward Kalen and Damash!

Chongo continues to keep pace with the pirate. The metal head of his spear weaves in a fluid pattern, pressing for an opening in Vark's defenses.
[sblock=OOC]Again, going to keep up with Vark. I'm going to focus my AoO on him as well as attacking.[/sblock]

Frustrated at being unable to get his rapier past Vark's guard, Anar switches to a different tactic. Beginning a series of thrust and feints to keep the man off guard, the dashing rogue hopes to open a hole through which Chongo can thrust his spear.
OOC: Anar will attempt to Aid Another, providing Chongo with a +2 to his attack rolls. +2 attack vrs AC10 for success.
HP: 4/8, AC: 16
