Swashbucklers at the Sword Coast

Ow

That'll teach me to be so cocky, Reg thought to himself as he backed away from the goblins that had cut him.

Reg stumbles towards the middle of the deck away from the enemy.

Snapping out of his battle daze, Lorec will look around and see that the battle is mostly in check with only the single Goblin left standing. Noticing several of the crew moving towards it in a non-manacing way, Lorec will go about making sure teh ship is secure and that there are no hidden enemies aboard.
 


Lorec moves closer to the center of the ship to have a better look of it. There he looks around to make sure there are no hiding goblins or orcs on the Qillathe


Velerel moves closer to the railing and, after shouting to his companions, barks at the goblin.
The goblin cocks its head, obviously wary, and then barks back.
(In goblin: "200 golds and free at land!")


Xael and Talindra enter through the door.


Krubto gets next to the goblin and whacks it. The goblin can't seem to take the hit and falls down, hitting its head to the blanks.
"Dontcha worry, blue 'air, 'e'll be alrite!"


Even without a conscious goblin on the wheel, the ship on the left keeps moving.
The goblin facing Egan takes a step back put is taken down by a lucky shot from a crossbow of one of the crewmembers.
The only remaining goblin of those that got personal on Reg seems to be contemplating its chances to survive in the water compared to the axe of Egan or Stumpy's knife. It then starts barking in fear. (In goblin: "Blue head! Give gold and will surrender!")
Unfortunately for it, another goblin on the right side invading ship seems to think of the idea of a goblin surrendering as an impossible one and dispatches of the other with a javelin.
Another on the same ship kicks the blank connecting the ship and the Qillathe to the waters. At the same time, the goblin steering the ship stomps the deck a few times and the ship starts continuing its voyage, gaining speed steadily.


Egan stares into nothingness.


Randal takes support from the railing at his side and stops to catch his breath.


Greg moves to the deck's middle part, away from the goblins that are left. He then loads his crossbow.


Stumpy shakes his stump knife at the escaping goblins but quickly changes it to his fist. He throws curses after them in all the normal tongues.


Claro stares into nothingness.

End of Round 11!

"Bloody goblin vermin!" Egan takes a look around, assessing the situation. If there are any targets left he'll make an attack, moving first if nessasary.
 

Velerel

200 gold, eh? Velerel thinks, then smiles, what a ridiculous bargainer. Oh well, I'm sure it won't be too difficult to lower his price, especially once he fully realizes the danger he is in simply by being held captive here.

The young man walks toward the unconscious goblin and casually looks him over, then turns his attention to whatever is occurring elsewhere. These last few minutes seem to have taken forever. He smiles, happy it's almost over.

The battle is finally over as the other ship escapes. But the fight did not go without a price: many of the sailors are laying on the deck, dead or near to it. Of less concern are a few who were only wounded or those that were put to sleep by magic.
Kiirivae's body lies next to the mast and Grim is unconscious but stable.

Talindra and Xael emerge from the hold of the ship that you were able to stop.
"There were ogres using some winches, that's how they were able to move backwards" she says.

Mending of wounds is taking place on Qillathe even as the remainders of the attacking force's bodies are being rolled to the sharks.
"The stains are going to stay there for who-knows-how long..." Stumpy grumbles.

Velerel looks at the unconscious goblin who seems to be alright but will be suffering from a bad headache when it wakes up. It is wearing a leather armor covered with metal and bone studs and a morning star is hanging from a loop by its side.

After making sure that the corpses of the enemy are being taken care of, Stumpy takes a few of the unwounded sailors and proceeds to get the goblin ship in tow.


OoC: WOHOO! It's over! Okay, the dragging was mainly my fault but it was mostly because I was stupid enough to try such a big scale battle as my first in a PbP game.
Oh, and every PC receives 1000 XP. The PCs and NPCs killed a total of 24 goblins and 14 orcs (and three of the orcs were spellcasters).
 


Talindra looks around at her crew, whispering comforting words to the wounded that she passes as she walks to Lorec.
"That decision will have to wait 'till I have the exact number of our fallen. Also, were are yet to loot the goblin ship's cargo, it might contain something that could help some of the crew."

"Thank you lord Tempus, for aiding and perserving us."

Egan walks about praying over the dead and calling forth any healing he can for the wounded.

"Ah, what a glorious battle, Tempus was truely smiling apon us all this day."
