You stop at the corner, just out of sight and peek around. The two opponents circle each other warily, probing each other's defenses. They each have one or two small cuts and are beginning to sweat. Kravith holds a long sword in one hand and dagger in the other. Vandane is wielding a short sword and a hand axe. His face is twisted in rage and strangely, agony."You ruined her for me! She was mine! I loved her!" the pilot screams."By Galifar, man, who are you talking about?" "Yssana, you fool! Yssana!""Yssana?" the Captain asks, puzzled. "Yssana was nothing to me, a fling, a flight of fancy. She was entertaining for awhile, but I grew weary of her.""Oh, how easily the strutting c*ck discards the lady. She is more beautiful than a falling star, and you toss her aside like so much rubbish. I would give her the world! Three times I approached her and three times I was told she wanted none save you! You who grew 'weary of her.'"Kravith shakes his head, "I am sorry you were rebuffed, Vandane, but I can't believe you would betray the ship. That absolves me of any guilt I feel. There is only one punishment for traitors.""No! I will slay you and then I will tell Yssana how you felt about her. She will be mine!"At that point, Vandane lunges at the Captain in a mindless rage, hacking and flailing. You decide to step in. You quietly step around the corner trying not to be noticed [Move Silently roll= 18+9= 27]. Thinking it would be easier to trip him than disarm him twice, you lash out with your whip [Attack roll= 17+5= 22]. You easily loop it around his ankles. He grunts in surprise as you attempt to jerk him off his feet, [Opposed roll-Str (you)= 10+2= 12 vs. Dex (him)= 6] which you easily do.[Initiative roll= 11+4=15] Order-Kravith, Aalic, VandaneWith barely a glance toward you, Kravith quickly leaps to put his sword against Vandane’s neck. “Drop them,” he says.You look up and see the Iron Hammer in position over the Cloud Dancer. Crossbow bolts are flying between the two ships. Boarders are beginning to leap over the side sliding down their ropes.</blockquote>
