Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malvoisin" data-source="post: 3087439" data-attributes="member: 40128">(OOC: I want to get this first round posted before I have to leave for work, so I'm going to go ahead and NPC Chongo this time, Gwyd.)COMBAT ROUND 1Keoni grabs ahold of the rope ladder, and climbs aboard the Blue Nixie as quickly as he can. He grabs his spear's haft and prepares to to battle!Vark's thugs are quick to leap to the attack, and stab viciously at the 'diplomatic' assembly on the ship's port side. Keoni, Col, and Kalen all take wounds from rapier blades as the ferocious assault commences.Kalen tries to strike back with an enchantment, in hopes of disabling some of the assailants, but in the midst of the fracas, his concentration lapses, and the spell slips from his mind.Col has better luck, reciting a prayer that he hopes will help defend him against the foes. Wanting to escape the clash of blades, he tries to slip away from the press of thugs, but rather feels the steel of a rapier slide into his back. He slumps to the ship's deck, bleeding badly.Seeing an opening, Anar climbs aboard the Nixie with his rapier between his teeth. He stands ready to exact vengeance for his fallen comrade.Soller Vark yells at Keoni, "Let's see how yeh fight without yer spear, tribesman, eh?" He lashes out at Keoni's spear, trying to knock it away from him, but Keoni manages to hold on.On the other side of the ship, the pair of thugs that spotted Damash and Chongo advance, lashing out at the pair with their own rapiers. While Chongo manages to duck under his attacker's blade, Damash is not so lucky, sustaining a wound in the arm.Damash counterattacks with his shortspear, wounding one thug seriously with a thrust to the gut. Suddenly, from behind, a brightly glowing ball of lightning slams into the back of the same thug, causing him to fall to the deck with a scream as tiny sparks play about his convulsing frame. Damash sees Nicolai, a bedraggled fellow in a red coat who seems to be the source of the magical assault.Chongo, fighting at close quarters now, drops his javelin and draws forth his own spear, thrusting it into the midsection of the other nearby thug. The thug grunts in pain and falls hard to the Blue Nixie's deck, where he lies motionless.END ROUND 1(OOC: Note, Land Outast, I was unsure what you meant by having Nicolai 'climb the stairs' to end his turn. Did that mean you want him to ascend to the Forecastle Deck? I left him off the map for now, until you can clarify for me. Thanks!)[code]| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | |x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x| | | || | |x|/| |*|*| | | | | |[b][COLOR=Silver]D[/COLOR][/b]|*|*| | |/|x| | | || | |x| | | | | | | |[b][COLOR=DarkOrchid]C[/COLOR][/b]| | | | | | | |D| | | || | |D| | | | | |\|!| |#|#| | | | |\|x| | | || | |x| |[b][COLOR=Yellow]V[/COLOR][/b]|[b][COLOR=Yellow]1[/COLOR][/b]|[b][COLOR=Yellow]2[/COLOR][/b]|[b][COLOR=Yellow]3[/COLOR][/b]| | | |#|[b][COLOR=RoyalBlue]N[/COLOR][/b]| | | | | |x| | | || | |x|/|[b][COLOR=Yellow]4[/COLOR][/b]|[b][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]K[/COLOR][/b]|[b][COLOR=Red]A[/COLOR][/b]| |[b][COLOR=Teal]K[/COLOR][/b]| | | | | | | | |/|x| | | || | |x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x|x| | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |Key: /=Stairs or Ladder Up; \=Stairs or Ladder Down; !=Mast; *=Lifeboat; #=Floor Grate[/code]Note: I made the villains Yellow this time, so they are more visible.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ROUND 2 INITIATIVE1.
