Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

[payn]

Bautista "Bedlam" Lure

"Eles me encontraram. Proteja-me espíritos!" Bautista cries out at the sight of the ghost ship. His eyes go white as he begins to speak in some type of unidentifiable language, of what seems to be an ancient incantation, with a voice that clearly isnt his...

Protection. You summon a ghost or spirit to watch over the souls of you and your allies. Everyone who is protected gets -d2 protection for one hour as if wearing extra armor (does not affect penalties to Strength and Agility, not affected by Fumbles). I.1 soul II.2 souls III.3 souls

Burn Tokwith

The blood drains from Tokwith's face at this horrible visitation appearing through the rain and sea foam. Could it be them? Had they found him?

He immediately reverses his work lowering the sails, instead tries frantically to raise them again. "Ship to starboard!" he yells. "Make all possible speed! Damn the wind! Damn the storm! We're all damned!"

I'm not sure what actions I can take but is it possible to to have Desiree lash himself to the boat or find something solid to help keep his balance?

((Certainly.))

Rowland “Safari” Catcloghe

Damn the gosts, damn the ... damned ... Safari runs towards Desiree "The Leperchaun" Groves to help keep the pirate steady. He frantically looks over the decks, while shouting "man the cannons, man the cannons, or we are all doomed!"

His monkey climbs into Safari's leather bag, slung over his shoulder.

((I totally forgot we probably have canons))

Adelheid

Adelheind moves closer to Bautista while fidgeting with her knives. She looks around at the rest of the crew and the captain, to see that they are doing.

Even as the crew of the Tarantula scramble to react, the ghost ship is upon them. Grappling hooks whirl out of the storm, attaching to the rails.

One goes wide, catching young Billy Seward in the chest, dragging him screaming to the railing, where the hooks dig through his flesh and into the wood. He coughs up blood as black-boned skeletal pirates, outlined in flickering St. Elmo's fire, surge aboard the Tarantula, two for every living sailor aboard.

With the ships lashed together, another skeletal figure, looking more like the bones of a gorilla than a man, climbs aboard the Tarantula, carrying a club that appears to have once been a ship's beam, now studded with rusted nails and barnacles.

((I'll need someone to roll a d6. On a 1-3, the enemies go first. On a 4-6, PCs go first. After that, we'll simplify things a bit by going in order of Agility modifiers, and in alphabetical order in case of ties.))

Rowland “Safari” Catcloghe

Safari knows that the crew will need every precious second to descend from the rigging, so he tries to rally the few comrades around him.

"Take the battle to the enemy! Throw them back into the sea before the cut us all down!".

With a few hesitant mates in tow he advances towards the skeletons, being carfeul to avoid what he believes to be their captain.

((Fantastic!
