Skarghash maneuvers around the pirate so that he can attack her from behind while she deals with Ari. He pulls out his shortsword and goes for a lunge that plunges deep into her back! She cries out in pain lashes out behind her with her armblade in a vain attempt to block the already successful attack. (Shortsword attack: AC 20 / 17+5+2darkknow=24 *hit* / 2+3+1sa+5sa=11 dam)
Khalia and Ari both move at the same time, however the archivist's nimbleness allows her to cast her spell just slightly quicker, and all four of you feel a divine aura settle upon each of you. (Cast Bless: all attacks & saves at +1)
This extra essence is enough to allow Ari to reach out and grab the swordarm of Erqua and the pirate feels a frigid pain surge through her arm. Her cries of anguish increase. (Touch attack: AC 14 / 10-1+2darkknow+1bless+4ap=16 *hit* / 3 dam) (Action point spent)
Erqua's eyes flash in anger, and with a scream of rage, she takes two deep swings with her sword and her armblade, but Ari is able to block both of her swings easily as the sword clang against each other. (Shortsword attack: AC 16 / 2+8-2curse=8 *miss* / arm blade attack: AC 16 / 8+8-2curse=14 *miss*)
Jango calls for the power within himself, and a streak of black energy flies from his fingertip catching the Captain right between the eyes. You can all see both her arms slump quite a bit, as the power to lift her weapons has greatly deceased. (Ranged touch attack: AC 14 / 7+4+2darkknow+1bless+3ap=17 *hit* / 4 point STR drain) (Action point spent)
