Kirio, glad to see the spell caster fall, steps back behind Lowduke (J14) raises his flute to his lips and begins playing...

Hrimr casts a spell on the full plate of the very large half-orc. He then moves up the stairs to the forecastle(I4).

Brutus shrugs off Hrimr's spell and lumbers forward towards the group (to M,N,12,13). Wind and rain lash against his giant form and the light from the strokes of lightning glimmer from his plate. With a grunt, he raises his massive battle axe and aims to strike Lowduke. The attack goes wide, cleaving a massive chunk of wood from the guard rail.
Suddenly, the entrance to the spiral staircase is closed by a horizontally sliding wood and metal panel. It seals the deck from the lower levels with a hiss of pressurized air. Hrimr, you are forced to hop slightly to avoid having a leg broken by the rapidly shutting panel.
The ominous hum in the air begins to sound stronger and higher pitched. It begins to feel warm and some of the rain around you is turning to steam. Giorgio emerges from the Captain's Quarters (at O 12). He wields his quarter staff in one hand, the many attached ribbons and streamers whipping violently in the wind, and a mad grin painted across his face.
"You are too late, meddling fools!" he cries out over the storm, "the Council dies today! Your pitiful resistance ends now!"
He points his finger towards the a barrel by the main mast (L 12) and cries out arcane words. He then screams a painfully loud and screeching note. You can all feel the sonic energy reverberating through your skulls. The barrel wobbles, trembles and then shatters. Inside you briefly see a hundred or so small vials of alchemists fire that crack, split and explode. A chain reaction explosion of fire sets off blasting outwards in shockingly loud bloom of flame and broken shards of wood and glass. Bannock, Torrent, Kirio and Brutus are caught in the main part of the blast (2d6 fire damage + 1d6 damage from shrapnel) and Lars, Hrimr, Arnir and Lowduke are hit by small flaming pieces of debris (1 point of damage, no save).
Bannock is saved by the girth of the mainmast, while Torrent holds up her shield just in time. Unfortunately for Kirio, he is peppered with flaming debris and his clothing immediately smolders and bursts into flames.
Torrent hooks her battle axe on her belt and cries out: "Hold on Kirio!" She begins to chant furiously and a 10 gallon amorphous blob of water is conjured over Kirio's head. It then falls, drenching the bard from head to toe, but extinguishing his burning clothing in a cloud of steam and smoke.
Giorgio's painfully high pitched spell, combined with the cacophonous explosion of the barrel is loud enough to rouse Setales from his magical slumber.

Bannock recovers from the mildly disorienting effects from the exploding barrel, drops into a combat stance with his glaive, and walks around the port side of the ship to M-9 and, with a roaring yell, delivers a massive downward chop on the prone Setales.

Round 2
Bannock, you gruesomely hack Setales' head in half, splitting it cleanly like a knife through a melon. Your blade digs into the wooden deck with the force of the blow and when you wrench it free, the convulsing half orc corpse spills a torrent of blood across the rain-slick deck.

Lars yells savagely when he sees the effect of Bannock's prodigious blow.
He then concentrates for a second time, looks down, and feels a thrill when he can no longer see his legs.
Now invisible and with sword in hand, Lars makes his way across the swaying deck to stand next to the taunting Giorgio. (O11)

Cold rain splashes against Lowduke's face and runs down his fur cloak in rivulets. He grips his two-bladed sword and steps forward to meet the lumbering mammoth Brutus (5ft step to L13). He makes four rapid slashes with the two ends of his weapon. The first cut catches Brutus across the hip, drawing blood. Unfortunately the remaining slashes scrape harmlessly against plate and shield.

as the hulking Brutus lumbers towards him Arnir notices Lars vanish like a ghost. Not knowing where his ally might be, carefully plies his way carefully to a space adjacent to where the young rogue was (J9). With a clear path to Giorgio in sight, he motions with his arms and channels a searing bolt of lightning towards the manic mage.
|
Arnir, as if in response to the lightning flashing in the stormy skies above, you release a bolt across the deck of the ship. In its wake of devastation, the stroke of electricity ruptures the second barrel, igniting its fragile contents and causing another detonation of fire and shrapnel. Though she blocks most of it with her shield, she takes a number of wounds and the flames catch on her cloak and tabbard. Bannock and Brutus are also hit by lesser flaming debris.
The lightning bolt continues on its journey towards Giorgio, raking across the metallic side of Brutus. Smoke and steam billows from openings in his armor and the magically enlarged half-orc stumbles to one knee in extreme pain. With a continued maniacal look in his face, Giorgio easily dodges the majority of the bolt of lightning. To your surprise and annoyance Arnir, what little of the bolt does touch Giorgio seems not to effect him in the slightest.
