On seeing the orcs around the deck he cast a spell to ward him from arrows and levitated upwards, to get a clear view of the Oathbreakers deck, blasting the orcs there with a Scintillating Sphere, killing three of them instantly. Somewhat alarmed by this development, the orc stood over Jebodiah missed his blow at the dwarf who quickly recovered his wits and his axe, and buried Stormcleaver in his hapless foe.Ki's resolve though, on seeing Skaaag stood over what remained of Elena, broke and he fled down from the stern to the main deck, quaffing a healing potion on the way. The orc captain, seeing Jebodiah as the most likely threat advanced on him, bolstered by spells cast by the orcs priest Gurnash, until Zamtap spotted his opposite number and went to work counterspelling his foes enchantments, each priest negating the other, as Jebodiah hewed about him, chopping orcs like firewood, until his axe flew from his grasp and landed on the Oathbreakers deck. Fending off blows with his shield and punching back with it as Skaaag barrelled into him, Jebodiah was relived when Aeron flew across to the other deck and returned with his axe, handing it back to him. Stormcleaver clashed with Skaaag's axe as the two barbarians faced off against one another trading a quick series of blows which ended with the dwarf lopping off the orcs head, a dim sense of satisfaction felt from his axes slumbering intelligence at this victory.With the defeat of their captain, and the rest of the party making short work of the remaining orcs on the Tisiphone's deck, Gurnash surrendered, and in return for his life, turned over the contents of the orcs hold to the party. With the Oathbreakers sails destroyed and her warriors and captain slaughtered, the orc priest pointed out that it would be some time before his ship would get back to port and longer still to get a new crew, captain and fittings for the ship with no coin in the hold to spend on such. Knowing that they had more pressing business elsewhere to attend to than dealing with a crippled pirate ship, the party agreed, emptied the hold of everything of value and sailed off towards Calimport.Sailing into the the massive harbour of Calimport on Uktar 22nd, the party were reccomended the Bloody Cutlass Inn on the docks, opposite the Tisiphone's berth by Captain Baeran. While most of the party decide to take the good captain's advice, Zamtap sets off through the city, intent on finding a temple to Gond. After some inquiries, and a donation at the Coinchapel (a temple to Waukeen) to pay for accurate directions, he arrived at the Palace of Wonders, a rather grandly titled small temple to the Wonderbringer, intending to buy himself a new pistol.However, on introducing himself, he was told that his superiors on Lantan having been informed of his quest (thanks to him reporting his actitivies and ionteded heading, to the temple in Waterdeep), have deemed his mission to be of the utmost importance, seeing the Yuan-ti's efforts with regard to technology and science as a direct challenge to Gond's primacy over innovation and artifice. Thus the Overgold of the temple, informed the rather startled priest that a knight had been dispatched to aid him in his quest, who had brough a replacement pistol with him, and that he had gone down to the docks to await the Tisiphone's arrival. Muttering his thanks, Zamtap started walking back towards the ships berth to try and find his new ally, knowing only that the man he is looking for is named Lord Edward Hamilton.In the meantime, having booked himself into a room at the Cutlass, Jebodiah took it upon himself to take Elena's body to the Admiral's Assembly (a large temple to Valkur, located near the divide between Dock and Armada Wards), paying to have the body taken back to Waterdeep and her brother for proper burial. On returning to the Inn, Gylippus persuades the group to stay in Calimport for longer than the couple days they had planned, so that they might benefit from the cities vast resources, reasoning that with a potentially long jungle trek ahead of them, this could well be their last chance to equip themselves for the task ahead. Sweetening his argument, was the division of money from the orcs hold, and equipment sold, meaning everyone in the gropup was flush with coin, and with ideas on how best to spend it. The party agree on a stay of eight days.DM's Notes:Well the battle was wrapped up nicely, and it was nice to have Phil back at the table this week after his absence last session. No sign of Mark now for a couple weeks, and I get the general impression that he isn't coming back, cutting the party back to six players. hopefully this isn't going to become a trend. I wasn't overly surprised when the group decided to stay longer in Calimport than the couple days Captain Baeran was planning on stopping for, as it is one of (if not the) largest cities in the Realms, and a very magical place also, making it the perfect place to stop and equip for what lies ahead.</blockquote>
