Immediately it is obvious that a large group of men have spread out along the bank, hemming the boat in. Some of them hold flaming brands and incendiaries.From the darkness in the trees beyond, a crossbow bolt thwips into Aaryn's shoulder and he doubles over in pain, almost thrown from the boat. He is still able to send a blast of cold onto the nearest man, but its force is diminished. Although the crossbowman is back in shadows and cover, you can still make out a hint of red beard.The two thugs nearest the bow of the boat throw their molotov cocktails. One sails right over the boat and lands in the river. The other breaks and catches, creating a patch of fire on the fore-deck.[sblock=OOC]Initiative:Crossbowman - hits Aaryn for 16 damage, plus Aaryn is weakened.Aaryn - ray of frost hits #4 (nearest foe). Doesn't kill him, but #4 is slowed.Gorim - opens windows and helps Gilda and Elsa belowdecks - through the portholes on the bank side, Gorim can see much the same as the others on deck.Thugs -  only #7 and #8 act at this time, throwing molotiv cocktails. One misses, one hits. (Red circles indicate fires).Next up in initiative order:KildrakHansGarold.[/sblock]</blockquote>
