The Antigrol Tide (IC)

[Mallak]

Mag stands at the bottom of the mast, hollering up at Colmarr.

N'un T'Chauck leaps to his feet, his eyes piercing the darkness. Immediately he sees a man climbing over the bow of the boat, dressed all in dark clothing. He carries a dull dagger in his teeth, and a thin sword hangs at his side. He takes the dagger from his teeth and takes aim at the bellowing stage magician.

N'un T'Chauck estimates that he is maybe 50 or so feet from the enemy combatant. Mag is on the other side of the mast hollering up to Colmarr with his back to the enemy, about 10 feet closer to the man than N'un T'Chauck is.

At the same time, still in the cabin, Braer is just now rolling out of bed, groping for his gear in the dark.

[sblock]We are in combat rounds, gentlemen. Keep your actions appropriate. Also, if anyone knows of a quick and easy grid-mapping utility and a place to host small pics, let me know and I'll see about getting a grid map up.[/sblock]

Colmarr Blackrock, Male Gnome Bard

Beginning to wake at the strange but faint call, Magyar’s yell stirs him to urgency. Quickly divesting himself of his bedding, Colmarr picks up his loaded crossbow as he stands to look for the threat, calling loudly as he does so in the most dangerous voice he can manage, “Stop where you are or die where you stand...”

OOC
[SBLOCK]If he spots anyone and can take a shot he does so.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Mallak]

[sblock=OOC]Colmarr will spend this round getting up. I'll let you know if you can see anything after you're up.

Also, how do you get it to say "OOC" instead of "Spoiler" in front of the "Show" button?

Edit: Thanks, Colmarr![/sblock]

 

[MummyKitty]

Seeing the threat to his shipmate, N'un T'Chauck attempts to give warning. "Magyar, behind you!" He hefts the cruelly barbed harpoon and moves towards the figure boarding the ship as fast as he can. "Old One guide my throw, straight and true," he prays to his spirit deity as he runs.

[sblock]N'un T'Chauck will hurl his harpoon as soon as he's in range (30'), holding one end of the trailing rope in his other hand.[/sblock]

I assumed that, that's why I only posted him standing up and retrieving his crossbow.

[ SBLOCK=OOC ] Will do it, just remove the spaces.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Mallak]

N'un T'Chauck rushes at the intruder raising his harpoon to throw. Ten paces from the man he hurls the weapon with deadly aim.

The steel barb of the harpoon slams through the man's left side just below the ribcage at the moment he lets fly with his dagger. He spins away and falls, catching himself with his hands.

The dagger sails high over Mag's shoulder and bounces off the mast in front of him, clattering to the deck.

Another man dressed in dark clothes is climbing over the bow opposite the first man, and a third man is coming over the bow where the first did.

Back in his cabin, Braer has laid his hands on his rapier and whip dagger.

Below the deck, Denther awakens to muffled shouts and pounding feet on the planks above him.

In the crow's nest, Colmarr rolls out of his blankets, grabs his nearby loaded crossbow, and quickly gains his feet.

Down in Colmarr's cabin, Grondar is dreaming that someone is using his head as a bass drum. Near him in the bunk, Troth lies in a fitful sleep, the noises of the bustle on deck disturbing him.

Denther

Unsure of what the noises are, Denther will crawl out of his bedroll, not bothering to put on his leather or even shoes, and head up to see what's going on.

*ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*
humphf? ....... what was that?

Troth open his eyes and hear some noise from deck. what can that be? he slowly gets up of the bead and limps his way to the deck taking good time and using the walls as suport.
The only thing he weares is his pants and shirt, and a cloth piece soaked in sea water wrapped around his knee.

ooc: [sblock] Are troths kne any better? [/sblock]

Grondar - Human Thug

Zzzzzzz...
Grondar rolls over, cursing in his sleep the dwarf that use his head as a drum.

Magyar Rhineholdt, human rogue

N'un T'Chauck rushes at the intruder raising his harpoon to throw. Ten paces from the man he hurls the weapon with deadly aim.

The steel barb of the harpoon slams through the man's left side just below the ribcage at the moment he lets fly with his dagger. He spins away and falls, catching himself with his hands.

The dagger sails high over Mag's shoulder and bounces off the mast in front of him, clattering to the deck.

Another man dressed in dark clothes is climbing over the bow opposite the first man, and a third man is coming over the bow where the first did.

"Holy--!" Mag cries out at speed of his companion and the weapon clanging on the mast. He hasn't even time to turn and look before he sees the second man, this one in front of him across the deck.

Without thinking, Mag abandons his shortspear, leaving only the dagger at his waist and the sling in his hand. The latter he loads with one of his bullets, then lets loose at the new enemy.

"Boarding party! All hands on deck!"
[sblock=OOC]I think that all works out: free action to drop the spear, move action to load the sling, then a standard action to fire the sling at the enemy on the opposite bow.[/sblock]
