Seeing that his attempt to prevent the pirates from boarding has failed, Reg casts his crossbow aside and jumps through the cluster of orcs in front of him. As he rolls back on to his feet, he brings his short sword out in a flashing arc towards the orc he now stands before.

Grim continues to attack the goblins mercilessly as their blood drips down endlessly from his sword...

Adventurer
The two chanting orcs wave their other hand in the air, in the same time using the other to pull someting from a pouch at their side. Then, in unison, the two orcs stop and point their index fingers at Kiirivae.
Bolts of flaming energy leap from their outstretched hands and strike Kiirivae, the other to her chest, the other her shoulder.
She falls from the crow's nest, already dead before hitting the deck. As she does, her form starts to change: coppery hair grows from her head and wings sprout from her back. But these are not the feathered wings everybody saw earlier, they are huge leathery bat wings.
Her skin takes on a reddish tint as fine scales cover it and small horns pop into existence, barely visible under her long hair. Finally, to fulfill her transformation, a long, sharp-ended tail slithers to existence.
The fiery beast attacks his kicker, Krubto. It bites at his thigh, tearing a part of flesh with it's teets.
Lorec sees Kiirivae get hit and fall. He lets loose two arrows at the other orc as a cry of anger escapes his lips. Both of the arrows fly wide, missing their target by few feet.
Velerel raises Damon's head from the deck and carefully pours the potion handed by Xael to the wounded's mouth. When the last sips disappear to Damon's mouth, some of his worst wounds close and he doesn't appear to be bleeding anymore. Although it is hard to tell as he is already smeared all over in his own blood.
Xael fires his crossbow at the other orc that killed Kiirivae. The bolt hits it to it's shoulder, looking absurd as it protrudes there.
As he loads his crossbow, Xael shouts at the orc.
"Surrender! You know we have practically won already!"
The orc answers him in a low, growling voice:
"Never! We bring honor to Ilneval. We will feast on your meat!"
Krubto tries to strike back at the beast but, distracted by the pain in his wound, misses his mark.
The goblins that Grim has reaped like weed back away from him, seeing that they can't beat him in an allout attack. They wait that he will move towards them.
Grim catches one of the fleeing goblins with his sword, cutting the poor thing's spine with one smooth swing.
Egan bounds his chest and bellows in a loud voice. Some of the goblins seem terrified but hold their places. He then moves towards the orcs harrassing Stumpy, Talidra and Reg.
Randal waits that Grim will move out of the way.
And Grim does excatly that! He charges towards three of the runaway goblins. But the goblins were waiting for this and attack him with their morningstars. They all miss the raging man running towards them.
Grim's blow is glanced off by the goblins chain armor but the goblins almost falls to it's face from the blow.
Then, seeing his opening, Randal runs towards one of the orcs standing behind two goblins. The goblins make their attacks against him. The first one hits his thigh but manages barely a bruise, the other's swing goes really wide and hits the first one to the head, killing it. The third misses also, but manages to avoid hitting his comrades. The fourth and last hits a glancing blow at Randal's chest, which the man seems to barely notice.
Randal swings his sword at the orc, cleaving it's head off.
Talindra takes a step forward, at the same time slashing with her sword to the her right. The orc hits the deck, bleeding to death from the stump of it's now missing arm.
Talindra guides her sword with grace back in her front, striking at the orc between her and Reg. She strikes sure, opening the orc's chest.
At no point did Talindra stop humming her tune.
One of the orcs comes to Grim, swinging it's axe in a wide circle. The swing hits Grim to the back, drawing blood and sounding awful as atleast few of his ribs break. Grim barely winces.
All the other orcs on the same ship are also moving towards Grim, seemingly going to team up on him.
An orc next to Reg takes a swing at him, seeing that he is unable to defend himself without a melee weapon. Sparks fly as the orc's axe strikes against Reg's chain armor and air is blown out of his lungs.
One of the orcs that had already boarded Qillathe moves towards Talindra to strike away her weapon. Seeing an openin in the incoming orc's defense, Talindra swings and hits. The orc barely avoids death and proceeds to disarm her. The orc swings with it's axe but Talidra nimbly parries the strike and rolls her blade around the shaft of the weapon, pulling it away from the orc's grasp.
Two other orcs move to attack Talindra, trying to bring her down by sheer number. The first one misses her but the second hits her unarmored side, causing an deep wound.
Many more orcs are surging toward the boarding blank
Reg, almost surrounded by the orcs himself, drops his crossbow to the deck and draws his sword. He slashes at the orc that attacked him, trying to get rid of it as soon as possible. His attack misses the orc, going a little under it's armpit.
Stumpy moves to position one of the orcs between himself and Reg and then attacks with his stump knife. The blade slides between the ribs of the orc but it won't fall.
Claro strikes the red beast with his hands but it dodges away.
End of Round 4!

As soon as Egan closes to melee range he starts hacking goblins and orcs with glee.

At least he isn't bleeding anymore, Velerel thinks to himself, looking at the still unconscious Damon, I guess there's only one thing that I can do for him right now.
Velerel puts his other arm under the now stabilized man's legs and lifts him off the deck. He quickly runs back to the wall of barrels that he came from and sets Damon down, carefully making sure that he is protected within it.

Grim continues his assault, lifting his bloodied sword up and targetting the orc for his next attack...
For DM, just highlight: [color=222222](Same as last round except targetting the orc, will cleave into goblins too if possible, full power attack)[/color]

Lorec
With a low grunt, Lorec will readjust his aim to properly account for the wind and the listing of the ships and let loose another volley at the orcs.
Internal Monologue: One of ours has already fallen! I must take these orcs out quickly...I can't let any of these goodly people die.... not after my father.....it's all happening again. I must stop it!
OOC: Dalamar--same target and targeting priority.
