The man that N'un T'Chauck speared is beginning to push himself to his feet, clutching at the steel shaft jutting from his side. His companion pulls his dagger and rushes to the man's side, in an apparent attempt to cut the rope free of the harpoon. However, as he begins to move, Magyar's slingstone flies out of the night. Whether by expert aim or sheer luck, the bullet catches the man square on the temple, and he tumbles to the wooden planks as if his legs had been cut from beneath him. A thin thread of blood trickles from his hairline.
Up in the crow's nest, Colmarr scans the darkness for the cause of Mag's original cry. He sees nothing through the darkness and fog, but hearing the commotion below he glances down in time to see Mag load his sling. His eyes are drawn quickly to the man N'un T'Chauck had earlier speared, and he sees the man running to help him. He raises his crossbow and takes aim, but the man collapses from Mag's sling bullet before he get's the chance to fire. He scans the darkness for another target and sees the flash of a dagger leaving the hand of the third man on deck (who was previously unknown to Colmarr) as well as a fourth man clamouring over the bow where the second came up.
The third assailant slings his dagger at N'un T'Chauck. The throw sails well to the side, passing over the railing on the opposite side of the ship and falling into the river with a muffled splash.
Down below in the hold, Denther makes it to the bottom of the ladder up to the main deck when he hears Magyar almost swear and call out "Boarding party! All hands on deck!"
That same cry reaches Braer as he exits his cabin. He opens the door to the deck, expecting to see the deck of the ship under the starlit night. Instead, the large, bulky frame of a human dressed all in black fills the doorframe, left hand extended as if he were reaching for the doorknob. The look on his face is as surprised as Braer's. The intruder recovers first, lunging with the rapier held in his right hand. Caught off-guard, Braer barely manages to twist aside in time to change a killing thrust into a wicked slash across the ribs. His chest burning with pain, Braer quickly decides on a course of action.
Behind Braer, Troth has wandered into the hall, limping slightly on his injured leg. The only light in the narrow corridor is that which comes in by the open door. In the dim moonlight, he sees the short figure of Braer take a slash across the ribs.
[sblock=OOC]Still waiting on N'un T'Chauck's, Braer's, Troth's, and Denther's actions for this round which. N'un T'Chauck's and Denther's actions will come just before Magyar makes his attack, Braer's and Troth's actions will come just after Braer is wounded (which occured at about the same time as Mag's attack). Also, the man N'un T'Chauck speared has not yet taken his full action, but I doubt N'un T'Chauck will let him accomplish much.
