Swashbucklers at the Sword Coast

Velerel

I suppose that may be useful to know, just not right now, Velerel thinks, listening to the goblinoids. The young man reloads his crossbow and fires at his nearest enemy, concentrating more on avoiding his allies than harming his foe.

It seems their numbers are finally dwindling. Perhaps this battle will soon be over? I cannot let any more lives extinguish!

OOC: Lorec will continue to fire as many shots as he can, targeting any remainding spellcasters and/or apparent leaders first.
 

Seeing no apparently more threatening figure, Lorec nocks back two more arrows and aims for the closest goblin. The first arrow steers wide and the second is caught by the humanoids armor.


Velerel takes aim at a nearby goblin, but uncostomed to fighting, fires off, almost hitting one of the Qillathe's sailors.


Xael, using himself as protection to Grim, takes a swing at the closest orc. He scores a lucky hit and slices the orc's throat, causing the creature to meet its god much before the intended.


Inspired by Talindra's arrival to the battle scene, Krubto steps over the dying orc and flashes a fist at the goblin that is now between him and her. He then proceeds to headbutt the orc harrassing Randal. He misses.


Furiated by the new enemy, the goblin between Krubto and Talindra takes a swing at her and lands a solid blow.
Goblins on the other ship on the other hand are angry at the stupid orcs for not letting them through or backing away from certain loss. One of the little buggers actually smacks, after a small jump, one of the orcs to the head, downing it.


Egan closes his eyes and calms down. Then he suddenly opens them and stares at the nearest orc, who seems to reel from an invisible attack.


Randal keeps swinging his sword eventhough he seems about to collapse from exhaustion. With his swing, he manages to take down the last orc on their ship.


Taking full use of Krubto distracting the goblin, Talindra dispatches it.
"Xael! Follow me to the hold of this ship. We'll find out what keeps it moving backwards. The rest of you, take over the helm."
After her commands, she starts moving to the hatch to the cargo hold.


The orc that was just moment ago getting all over Stumpy, now just stares forward with glassy eyes. The others behind it start yelling at it, the closest almost pushes it off from the blank.


Presuming that Stumpy can take care of a dazed orc, Reg aims the one behind it. His aim is off however and the orc stares angrily at Reg after it notices where the bolt came from.


Seeing that the orc in front of himself is distracted by some inner demons, Stumpy pulls back his name-sake knife and stabs it straight to the humanoid's lungs. The orc doesn't eves seem to care what happened to it and falls off the blank to the water.


Obeying the captains order, Claro starts heading towards the goblin holding the helm.

End or Round 9!
 

Velerel

Seeing no more conscious goblinoids on the boat, Velerel searches for any which are still living, hoping to find one he can speak with after the battle.
 

Egan Shadowsilver

"HA! You see, I AM INVINCIBLE!!!"

Egan steps forward and try's his best to help stave off more boarders while his companions try to get the boat moving.



(OOC: Cool, got one last update in before i leave for GEN CON. Be back next week, see ya'll.)
 



Reg sees the angry stare of his target and smiles a sheepish grin.

"Sorry about trying to shoot you. Promise I'll try harder this time."

*twang**reload*
 

Lorec stares into nothingness


Velerel takes a look around. There is next no chance that the goblins that got overrun by Grim and Randal are fit for talk, but there is a single goblin alive and steering the same ship.
There is small group of goblins still alive on the other ship, but if things go as they have been going, they're not alive for long.


Xael heads after Talindra.


Krubto heads towards the goblin steering the ship, he stays wary of any trick the goblin might have up its sleeve.


The steering goblin stomps its foot on the deck a few times and then steers the ship violently. The blank connecting the ship to Qillathe falls to the waters and everybody onboard staggers slightly from the sudden change.
The goblins on the other ship seem to get overly annoyed of the orcs and two of them strike the remaining orc down. Then the rest of them bolt for the blank and try to get past the crew on the other end; Stumpy strikes the first one down and Egan tries a swing at the second but misses, Reg with his crossbow can't really do anything to the goblins coming to touch range.
After getting away from the two normal looking men, the second goblin strikes at the green-skinned genasi scoring a strong hit at the arm Reg raised for his protection. The other goblins move past the defenders and the last one also scores a hit to Reg's arm.


Egan steps towards the boarding goblins and swings his axe down upon one of them and cleaves an arm off. The goblin starts running away, trying to stop the flow of blood but fails.


Randal, even exhausted as he is, starts moving towards the goblin steering the ship.


Talindra heads towards a door that will propably lead belowdecks.


Reg backs off a little from the two goblins that attacked him and fires at other of them and misses.


Stumpy moves down to attack a goblin and makes a precise strike to its neck, instantly killing it.


Claro stares into nothingness.

End of Round 10!

Seeing his shipmates rushing towards the only living goblin remaining on the ship, Velerel runs after them, yelling as loudly as he can, "wait! Please try very hard not to kill it. I would like to speak with it after this if I can." He then barks angrily at the goblin steering the ship, pausing near the end of his yells for a second, before finishing in a more monotone fashion.

(Or, to those who speak the language of the goblins, he says "back away from the wheel and calm down! I may be able to have your life spared...or, if it would please you more...I can pay you.")
