[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6574092, member: 20323"] Just as it seems like Caillou is poised to stab the deadly scrimshaw needle into D'avard's spine, he notices a tattoo on the seawolf's back of a gothic letter O, within which is a seawolf's open maw swallowing a ship. Why should it send a shiver down the Tengu King's spine? Perhaps a warning from one of the Guede? Just then, as Caillou prepares to stab, the red-bearded pirate hurtles himself at Caillou thru the broken doorway in a full-on tackle. Caillou's window of opportunity is lost as the pirate rolls over Caillou's cloaked back, fingers failing to grasp Caillou's oily feathery face, the pirate landing with a groan on his side against the smashed door on the floor. D'avard's beady black eyes swivel to connect with Caillou's, a foul toothy grin forming. [color=DarkOrange]"You must be the Tengu King. I'd expected you to be an old ma-- Argh!"[/color] Nia reappears from the magic mist and slams her empowered staff into the seawolf's back, rewarded by the sound of ribs cracking; at last D'avard is slowing down from the punishment you've heaped on him. The seawolf appears to be on his last legs. Barrington has taken cover behind a thick gnarled tree stump on the hill not far from the unconscious pirate. The Spanish rifleman desperately fires his pistol up at Barrington's new position, the shot absorbed by the tree stump, then runs for the palm trees where he joins the arm-in-sling pirate who is frantically reloading. Tearing the pistol from the pirate's hands, the rifleman fires up at Barrington again, the shot ricocheting off a tree behind the Englishman. [color=Orange]"To hells with you and to hells with this,"[/color] curses the arm-in-sling pirate. [color=Orange]"I've fought this man once before. He'll put a bullet between your eyes. I know better than to push my luck!"[/color] With that, the arm-in-sling pirate dashes thru the tangle of jungle trees in retreat. The bandana pirate, finishing reloading his musket, fires up at Barrington as well, the shot absorbed by the tree stump, wood splinters flying over Barrington's head. Dropping back down, the bandana pirate hides in the tall grass (Perception DC 18). The one-eyed pirate attacks Old Zef thru the window with his hand axe, looping the hook of the axe around Old Zef's neck and yanking, smashing the dwarf's head into the window ledge (4 damage). Looking for an opening that involves minimum risk, the gangly pirate slams his hand axe down on Old Zef's chest (4 damage) while the dwarf is momentarily pinned. Thankfully the [i]mage armor[/i] causes the axe to twist at the last second, hitting him with the flat of the blade rather than the edge, but it still packs a wallop! The ugly pirate wildly attacks Nia Steeleyes thru the door with his hand axe, missing but giving himself enough space so that he can slip by Nia. Glaring at Katerina, he points his axe as he begins to advance toward her. [color=Orange]"There's the one who shot me!"[/color] [OOC] Spanish Rifleman shoots at Barrington (disadvantage range, +2 AC cover) [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807562/]1d20+4=21, 1d20+4=15[/url] misses, then shoots again (Multiattack) [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807568/]1d20+4=10, 1d20+4=5[/url] misses. Arm-in-sling Pirate uses his action to reload, then moves 15' thru difficult terrain (30' move), and Dashes again as a bonus action for another 15' thru difficult terrain (30' move). Bandana Pirate shoots at Barrington (+2 AC cover) [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807581/]1d20+4=9[/url] misses, then Hides as bonus action Stealth [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807582/]1d20+2=18[/url] One-eyed Pirate attacks Old Zef [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807538/]1d20+3=14[/url] hits for 4 damage (1d6+1 average). Gangly Pirate attacks Old Zef [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807544/]1d20+3=22[/url] hits for 4 damage (1d6+1 average), then he Disengages as bonus action. Ugly Pirate attacks Nia [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807532/]1d20+3=12[/url] misses, then he Disengages as bonus action. Red-bearded Pirate attacks Caillou with grapple [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4807533/]1d20+1=3[/url], and I'm assuming that Caillou succeeds his DC 3 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to avoid being grappled since his Dex modifier is +3.
