Those of you who pick a crossbow and quiver see that the quivers hold 15 bolts.
The two ships are closing in, mere seconds away from you. They spread out some, propably going to surround Qillathe. A few bolts fly from both of the ships but they don't even hit the hull of your ship.
Talindra draws her sword and starts to hum to herself, obviously getting ready for the incoming battle. Her calmness eases you and you are able to concentrate on the task at hand more easily.
Krubto shows Claro a smile.
"Now that's the spirit! Just stay close me and ye'll be fine."

Kiirivae glances about the deck, then looks at the closing ships. If they're this close already, they won't risk damaging the sails. It will probably be better to man the crow's nest for the first part of the battle.
She looks up, considering. I'll have an excellent vantage point and my shots will go farther. Not to mention I'm likely the only one aboard who can get up in time and then get back down safely. We can't afford not to have it manned, I think.
She runs to the stern of the ship, pausing at the railing, longbow in hand. She concentrates for a moment and her avariel wings sprout from her shoulders once more. She flaps a few times, then jumps off the ship, flying away, then circling back as she ascends to land on the crow's nest.
Once she is there, the wings recede. She secures her quiver to the rail of the crow's nest and readies her bow.

Actions: Lorec has a good range on his longbow, so he will start firing immediately once they are within 3 range increments (ie: less than 439 ft away), taking (I think) a -6 to his rolls.
Hopefully this will allow him to hit someone important, as he will target those who seem to be giving orders, or those who look like spellcasters (robes, spell-component pouches, etc).
"Tymora guide my bow......" Lorec will otherwise remain silent during the intial exchanges. He will ppint out to other crew members any "commanders" or spellcasters that he sees with his keen sight.
Dalamar, I sent you an email.

You can't see any of the inhabitants of the ship until they close within about 250ft. Then you can spot movement at the bow of the ship.
Velerel, Kiirivae, Reg and Lorec all open fire at the moving figures. You can't be sure if any of you hit anything, but the figures disappear.
The ships are now mere 100ft. away from you, ahead and on both sides. You can see tall figures hiding behind the railings, taking cover against any attacks.
First round starts now!

Egan Shadowsilver
[OOC: Bad day yesterday, sorry for the slow post.]
Egan has possition himself at the front of the ship on the port rail, but will move to the starboard side if it is nessasary.
Egan has alook on his face of pure joy, he raises his voice in supplication to his god.
"Lord Tempus! We who are about to fight, detticate this battle to you! May it be worth of the honor!"
He then reaches down and picks up his holy symbol.
"I beseach the, oh lord of battles to bestow your blessing upon your faithful, that we may better surve you!"

Lorec will kneel behind the lip on the side of the ship, improving his AC by kneeling (and adding a cover bonus?).
He will target any opponents who show the trappings of power (better clothing or armour, robes, are giving orders, etc) or any who appear to be spellcasters. His secondary targets will be opposing archers.
He will fire 2 arrows per round.

Velerel changes his positions to be taking cover behind the upper right staircase. He stacks one barrel on top of another and positions himself as best he can so that it serves as an improvised shield between him and the ship on the side that he isn't facing. Peering over the staircase, he prepares to continue firing on the other ship (next round).

The ships are right next to you and you can see the goblins and orcs in there. They seem to be ready to jump onboard as soon as their ships are in position.
One of Qillathe's crew members, Damon, fires his bow at one of the orcs readying to jump, but misses horribly.
Few of the orcs in the back line start chanting something and wave their hands. Suddenly, bolts of energy fly to Damon and hit him. He falls to the ground, a bad looking wound on his chest.
Out of thin air, there appear more of the orcs, and still one of them keeps chanting.
Lorec, seeing what happened to Damon, nocks two arrows to his bow and lets fly at the orc who cast the spell. Both arrows hit it, the other to the hand it pointed at Damon to release its spell, the other to it's groin and it doubles over.
Velerel moves to the barrels and raises another to his cover.
Krubto moves near the left side of the ship (in the pic) and bellows curses at the orcs.
"Come here ye lit'le yerks! I'll show ye what a REAL orc can do!"
Some goblins see Krubto and throw javelins at him: one of them hits the deck near Krubto's legs and he deflects two of them with the back of his hand.
Still other goblins are working on getting a blank over the space between the ships on the ship to the left.
Egan can feel that Tempus has atleast heard him and he readies for the incoming attackers.
One goblin yells something unintelligent and throws sand at Egan, who is only mildly irritated by the sand.
There is a annoyingly absent look in the eyes of bot Mad Randal and Grim. They both start to walk towards the ship on the left. Drool is dripping from Grim mouth.
Talindra takes it on the defensive and walks to the right side of the ship, still humming to himself.
Kiirivae let's loose and arrow aimed at a group of four orcs, who were casting a spell earlier. Unfortunately she misses her shot.
A group of orcs is carrying a blank in the other ship to get access to Qillathe, few others handle their big axes impatiently.
Reg fires his crossbow to the ship on the right, trying to hit one of the blank carriers on the right-side ship. The bolt hits the creature straight to the head and it collapses to the deck, making it harder for the others to carry the blank.
Stumpy moves after Talindra to watch her back.
Claro takes his position near Krubto.
END of round 1!
