Midian and Seria have just finished turning the heavy cranks that pull back the cable when he arrives. He helps the sailor make some quick adjustments, then fires! The ballista bolt streaks across the water with unerring accuracy and impacts on the enemy weapon. Their own weapon was primed to fire and the impact triggers it prematurely, the bolt fires low and disappears under the waves after a few dozen feet. The pirates are just beginning to clear the debris and reload the weapon when Whispers spell hits. A stinging shower of ice fragments erupts in the center of three sailors leaving them bleeding from numerous tiny cuts.The enemy ship continues to close until they are approximately two hundred feet away from you. Their archers move up the gunwhales, raise their bows, and fire a volley at you. Luckily, even at this close range, the hail of arrows strikes all around you but fails to hit anyone on your ship. Two of your own sailors drop what they are doing and pick up two crossbows to fire back. OOC - Whisper: Doh, for some reason I had you written down as wizard. Johan: Yes, all the mithril chain shirts are identical. The battleaxe radiates moderate necromancy and minor evocation.Midian: Next round they'll be in range for your flaming sphere</blockquote>
