Spelljammer: Starfarers (at last!)

Elisia looks at the carnage and a wave of sadness comes over her. She looks at the remaining combatants and wonders who is friend and who is foe. She nocks an arrow and looks to her companions, expecting some guidance.

Rhamyr takes up a place beside the halfling, drawing the smokepowder pistol from his belt with his left hand. "Zhentarim," he says, spitting the plug of tobacco over the railing, where it bobs aimlessly in the ship's gravity plane. "That black gauntlet's the sign of their devil-god." His right hand has pulled his cutlass over his shoulder, and he searches for a target on the Black Fist. A sudden wolfish grin crosses his face. "I guess it's a good thing the Captain turned us around. I owe them."

Still, that seemed to remind him of something, and he turns to glance behind him at the deck of the Interlude - searching out Tam, and marking where the man stands. Just in case, of course. Just in case.

Caelano steps back on deck just in time to hear Rhamyr's last words.

"Devil-God, is it? Well, this should be interesting!"

After a moment's thought Caelano walks over to where Westenberger and the Captain are. Careful not to interrupt, he phrases his suggestion as diplomatically as possible:

"Both ships are so weakened they must see that we hold the balance of power. Shall we call on them to throw down their arms? Then we can end this bloodshed without spilling any of our own."

After a pause to gauge their reaction, he continues:

"If one side is unwilling, a few shots from our crossbows may give them a chance to reconsider. Then we offer to negotiate for terms."

On hearing Caelano's suggestiong, Manabu nods his head vigorously. Setting his crossbow beside him, he draws his dorje of disable (hoping it will help convince the combatants to surrender).
 

Tam cracks his sword hard upon the rail of EI, and the blade begins to sizzle a cherry red. "Fever Iron." he says, manic fury replaced with calm anticipation. Westenberger looks at Tam "Let's take it to 'em. [turns around] If you gents want to stay out of the melee, do be kind and provide support."

Struvin stands back. "I'll give the order to break away, should worse go to worse." He unslings a huge crossbow he fetched from his cabin.

With things said, Westenberger and Tam vault onto the deck of Black Fist, and it breaks out...
 

Elisia, excited besides herself, jumps onto the deck of the Black Fist as well. She gets her bow and arrow ready and starts to sing, trying to Inspire Courage to those with her.

Even if I don't quite know who the enemy is.. she thought to herself.

Manabu regrest that Caelano's suggestion went unheard. Hoping to support his allies with the dorje, he looks for a cluster of foes, preferably ones from the Devil-God ship.

Ooc: how are we handling initiative and other die rolls?
 


Caelano pauses indecisively. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, but he doesn't want his friends to be hurt either. He decides to aim his crossbow carefully, and shoot only if an enemy tries to board the ship.

He'll warn them first, of course.

Stay back or I'll shoot!

should do, he thought.

Caelano tries to find an area with cover and a good view of the fight. He'll then ready a crossbow attack.

"Idiots, the pair of 'em," Rhamyr growls as Westenberger and Tam go over the rails. At least now I don't have to watch my back... He sights in at the closest Zhentarim, and fiery smoke blooms from the end of his pistol. (+4 to hit, 50' range, 1d10/x3)

Hardly waiting to see the effect, the gnome shoves the still-hot pistol into his sash (move-equivalent action) and prepares to go after the boarding party of two.


Edit: reloading a pistol is a standard action, not an MEA...
