Swashbucklers at the Sword Coast

Reg ignores the small cut from the javelin with a grim look of determination on his face. He kneels by the side of the ship to gain some cover, and tries to either pull the plank onto the Qillathe or to knock it into the water.

Seeing Damon lie, groaning, on the deck, Velerel thinks to himself, Is there nobody willing to assist him?

The young man leaves the cover of his barrels and runs quickly over to the dying sailor. "There must be someone better suited for this than I!" he yells, taking out a light blue scarf from his backpack. He rips the scarf into pieces as needed, which he uses to bind and cover Damon's wounds. Concentrating only on his injured crew mate, his mind calls out for help as well:

Aerdrie guide my actions. Don't let this brave man die -- not here...not like this.
 


Xael

Spotting Damon lying on the deck, Xael moves his crossbow to his left hand and walks next to Damon and Velerel. Then he reaches to his small bag and pulls out a small, black bottle. He then hands the potion to Velerel and says:
"Make him drink this".
 

The orc that created the infernal creature on Qillathe grunts a few words and waves his hand. One of the sailors near the helm falls to his back, seemingly for no reason.
The small united group of orcs also chant some words and keep chanting them.

The beast moves next to Claro and bites him. The bite leaves a filthy looking wound at his thigh.


Lorec spots the small group of chanting orcs and lets loose two more arrows. Both of the arrows pierce one orc, both of which disappear. Only one orc is left chanting.


Velerel runs to Damon who is still groaning on the deck. Unfortunately he doesn't have to time to do anything more to the poor man.


Xael reaches Velerel and Damon and hands the potion to Velerel.


Krubto curses Grim for not waiting the goblins to board. He then turns his attention to the beast attacking Claro.
"Can't keep yerself out of those teeth, eh? Lemme show ye how these are taken care of."
Krubto whirls his fist on the beast but it misses, he then kicks it but his bare foot is stopped by the creature's though skin.


The goblins start swarming on Grim, even walking over their dead comrades. Three of them get an attack at Grim but only one lands a blow. Grim barely seems to notice the hit.


Egan's shout seems to echo in the air for a moment. Then the wound on his side closes, leaving almost invisible scars.


A sound of one of the sailors hitting the deck can be heard. He snores soundily and the goblin guiding the ship on the right laughs.


Randal moves behind Grim, trying to see for an opening to strike at the goblins.


Grim cleaves through two of the goblins, scewering them in two with one strike.


The crew lets loose another volley of bolts but none of them hit a target.


Talindra stands at the end of the blank, waiting for the orcs to rush over. She is still humming her tune.


Kiirivae, seeing that the orc is still chanting a spell, lets loose a spell of her own. A bolt of raging energy leaps from her to the orc and hits it to the hand, disrupting the spell.


And then the orcs come.
One of threm charges one of the unprepared sailors holding a crossbow, bringing down it's axe it halves the poor sailor. Reg, not holding a melee weapon in his hand, can only stare in utter horror as one of his friends dies.
More orcs board the ship, some moving to face against Stumpy and Talindra, some against Reg.
To the surprise of the orcs, Talindra slashes out with her sword, beheading the orc in front of her.


Reg, forced to melee, drops the crossbow to his feet and draws his sword and strikes at the orc in front of him. He hits the orc to the soulder, not enough to drop it but it will slow it down.


Stumpy attacks the orc facing him, slashing a wound across it's belly. The orc grunts and snarls at Stumpy but doesn't fall.


Claro waves around for a moment and then strikes at the beast that bit him. The beast doesn't seem to even notice the strike.

End of Round 3!
 

Xael

Xael then focuses on the orcs that have been chanting, and raises his crossbow in their direction. Then, with annoyed look on his face, he fires the crossbow.

"Thank you, sir," Velerel says to Xael, "I suppose this will work better than my scarf." He then lifts the upper portion of Damon's body from the floor of the ship and pours the contents of the bottle into his mouth.

"How do you feel?" he asks his recovering crew mate.
 

Muttering under her breath, Kiirvae grasps a small pearl in her left hand, then utters the words of her spell once more.(Same spell-casting orc)
 

(I'm Back!)

Claro wipes the blood from his wound and uses two hands clasped together in an attempt to put the beast to rest- permanently.

"You see! Puny pigmen! My lord Tempus favors me and I AM INVICIBLE! "

Egan slams his chest as he yells this.[OOC:intimidate?]

And rushes the neerest boarding plank.

"TEMPUS!! "
