Swashbucklers at the Sword Coast

Egan shadowsilver

Egan will fire his crossbow entill the ships are in boarding range, and then he'll switch to his axe. I'll get more spicific when we get there, but he might even board the enemy ship to bash skulls over there.

Velerel

Oh great, one of us is drooling. Velerel loads his cross bow, sinks deeper into his barrel-shield, and studies Mad Randal and Grim, trying to figure out what has happened to them. What magic is this?
 

Tim yells "Somebody take the wheel! If Gastrono was in this fight, I wouldn't worry about only being defended by these slackers!"
 

Oh yeah...forgot one thing.

If the other ship closes on us and we have to engage in melee combat:

-Lorec will draw his whip dagger and attack, trying to stay about 15ft away from opponents. If he has to close, he will draw his cutlass and dagger and attack.

Targets: Spellcasters first, commanders second. That is, of course, if he can distinguish them from the rest. He will tumble in order to avoid attacks of opportunity.
 

Grim prepares, his hands with his sword and a taint of madness growing, he then shouts to everyone else, "Step back I won't be able to control myself when the fighting starts..." Grim will then position himself where he can fight off multiple enemies if need be, giving a stern look of death to one of the fighters from the other ship when the battle starts.


Ooc: For Dalamar for more clarification on what Grim is doing: (Just highlight)
[Color=333333]When Grim enters his rage, he will use intimidating rage on one of the nearby boarders, but he won't attack that one just yet. He's holding his action and will attempt to attack, putting all his BAB into Power Attack the first opponent crossing, following up with a cleave attack if possible. -Grim will make a move to board the othership as well, if possible...[/color]

Damon is groaning on the deck. He seems to still be alive but propably not for long.

Last of the chanting orcs stops. Flames appear on the Qillathe and, from them, a demonic creature emerges. The creature is the size of a dog and it's flesh is covered in small scales and filthy hair. It has a twitching tail and long, pointy teeth jut from its upper jaw.
After recovering from being pulled to the material plane, it attacks one of the sailors behind Krubto and Claro.
It bites on the sailor's leg, who screams in pain and surprise. He kicks the creature off of his leg but it leaves a bad looking wound. Boold dripping from it's mouth, the creature stays in range to attack again.

The small group orcs that are moving as they were one chant again and arrows of pure energy leap from their fingers, striking at Lorec. The bolts hit him to the shoulder, leaving a burned-looking wound.


Lorec nocks two more arrows to his bow and fires at the ones casting spells at him. Both of the arrows fly straight through one of the orc, who then both disappears.


Velerel concentrates on seeing if he could find out what has caused two of his fellows to start drooling and look like stupid.


Krubto stares at the goblins and orcs on the other ship and seems to wait for something to happen.


Somehow the ships stop on their tracks and actually start to move BACKWARDS at same speed as the Qillathe. Goblins move the blank they were carrying and place it between the ships, forming a small bridge.
Many of the other small humanoids move nearer the blank, ready to scrurry over any moment.
Four goblins come near the railing and throw javelins at Talindra but they all miss their mark.
Another two goblins move and release their javelins at Reg, the other scratching his side.


Egan moves towards Reg at the same time firing his crossbow at the other. Tempus seems to have heard Egan, for the bolt goes almost through the poor goblin.


The goblin throwing sand at Egan waves his hands around and a chunk of ice forms in his hand. The goblin then proceeds to throw it at Egan. But the faithful of Tempus dodges the missile easily.


Mad Randal calmly walks to the Qillathe end of the blank the goblins placed and waits.


Grim over the blank and strikes at one of the goblins with all his might, slicing the thing straight from the middle. But the strike doesn't stop there but also scewers another goblin on Grim's other side.


The crew starts firing at the enemy ships: a total of 3 of them fall and there are two more hits.


Talindra moves nearer the invading ship.


Kiirivae shoots at one of the goblins but it's armor deflected the hit.


The group of orcs carrying a blank drops it between the ships, much in the same way as the goblins did. Most of the orcs swarm around the blank but one throws a javelin at Egan and it pierces his side and sticks there looking grotesc. Egan almost falls to his knees from the pain but barely stays up.


Reg, seeing what the orc did to Egan, quickly loads his crossbow and fires it at the orc but misses.


Stumpy moves to Talindra's side.


Claro readies himself for the coming wave of enemies.

The end of Round 2!
 

Egan Shadowsilver, hopin tempus likes him

The javlin rips through Egans side, his legs almost buckle under the force of the blow. Surpressing a cry of pain Egan pulls the foul weapon from him and tosses it aside. He looks at the orc and brings his bloody hand to his face. Grinning wickedly he licks the blood from his fingers.

Then Egan shouts to the skies:

"Tempus hear the call of your faithful! Heal my wounds so that your servant may send more souls to your battlefield!"
 

Kiirivae curses under her breath, thinking for a moment. Two misses. This isn't going well. Wish i had more magic to work with.
She whispers the words of a spell and points to whoever looks to be the leader of the spell-casting orcs.
 

Grimacing in pain, Lorec will target any Orcs who look similar to the one that cast spells at him--be it similar in dress, physical features, equipment, or demeanor. He wants those spellcasters dead!

"Friends, be wary! Some of these creatures may be illusions!"
