damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

"Did You See That? I skipped the stone five times.. oh yes.. the riders. Okay, I can focus on them. Sure. But Five Skips!"

Think S'arkee may have heard the scream of AYAYAYAAHHHH

S'arkee, hearing the screaming from above decides to make his way up deck to see what's going on. He was in Deck 2 though I think as that one wasn't locked, but 1 was. He'll have to 4x move to get up there.

Bulgo continues to ply his sling against the injured rider, but gets distracted and misses.

S'arkee hears one of the horsemen yell and starts moving toward the main deck.

damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 - one point non lethal.

Right now I'm outside...I have no idea what to do. I don't get any awesome spells till a bit later...sucks being 2nd.

"Well, we better teach these people a lesson." S'arkee mutters a prayer, casting a spell to help improve the group and moves in close.

Casts Bless

Try being a Halfling with a ranged attack and a strength penalty!

Bulgo tosses a stone at the red rider and gives the man a bruise.

S'arkee mutters a prayer and casts a spell to help improve the group. He also moves up to where most of his allies are.

"Pilot's hit!" Negi cried, firing another arrow.

shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Could someone post for Rolan?

Rolan continues to try and keep the ship on course. If he has time, he fires off another attack as well.

All creatures aboard take a –1 penalty on attack rolls made this turn.

Shot vs red: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 1 = 9Sting: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Just a heads up, Rolan's at 2 hp, so seeing as it could come up, what happens if he isn't able to steer the ship? Is it just the same as him failing the check?

If no one steers the ship that'll indeed be treated as failing the steering check.

Theron shoots an arrow at the red rider, but his arrow misses the rider by several feet.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

One of the other riders shoots an arrow at Theron, but a gust of wind sends it into the water.

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Bulgo sighs.

"A crossbow... seems so... martial."

But maybe I should look into getting one anyway.

Khoqarit -1HP
Mutabi-qi Raider (Red) -3HP & 1NL

I need a stabilize check from Rolan.

The party has till the end of this turn to make a steering check, else you'll have automatically failed it for this round.

"Crap!" Negi cried, rushing towards Rolan. "Bulgo, drop Anchor!" he said as he fired another shot at the red rider.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Rolan's condition worsens as he loses more blood.

Mutabi-qi Raider (Yellow)

S'arkee
Khoqarit -1HP

After Negi's post I've placed a picture to show where the anchor is. Figured it could be useful.

The dice generator hates halflings...

Theron keeps shooting at top rider.
Shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7Sting: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Told you so :P

Theron keeps shooting at the same rider, but can't hit him.

Another arrow's shot at Theron, but this time he dodges it.

Mutabi-qi Raider (Yellow)
Bulgo 20/24HP
S'arkee
Khoqarit -1HP

Bulgo heaves the anchor over the side of the boat, holding tight to the edge as he does so.

Not sure if that is a full round activity?

S'arkee, get Rolan a heal like now, please!

I second that!

S'arkee moves over to Roland, retriving his wand with a wrist-sheath and then uses his healing on Roland.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

@Bulgo: It'll probably take longer than most move actions, so I'll say yes.

Bulgo 5-foot steps over to the anchor and heaves it over the side of the boat. The boat slowly comes to a stop.

S'arkee moves over to Rolan and uses his wand to patch him up. Rolan stays unconscious, but at least he stops bleeding.

Ride: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The front rider spurs his mount toward the ship and tries to make it leap aboard, but the horse comes to a full stop at the edge of the water.

The rider turns his horse around and tries again, but the horse once more refuses to leap and comes to a stop in front of the water.

Mutabi-qi Raider (Green)
Theron 9/10HP
Mutabi-qi Raider (Yellow)
Bulgo 20/24HP
S'arkee
Khoqarit -1HP

If Negi causes Rolan to regain consciousness, Rolan may of course also take his turn.

"Wasting valuable arrow time!" Negi muttered as he pulls out a potion and pours it down Rolan's throat

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

@Negi: Grabbing a potion's a move action, and using a potion on someone else is a full-round action.

It's been over 30 hours since my last post, so I'll move this forward.

Negi pulls out a potion of cure light wounds as he stands next to Rolan. (Only 1 move action spent.)

Ride: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

One of the others riders also makes his horse run toward the ship. He actually gets his horse to leap over the water and onto the ship.

Ride: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The horse safely lands on the deck, its rider still on top of it. However, as it lands it provokes an attack from Jon.

Round 6:
Negi 12/16HP
Rolan -2/17HP (Prone & unconscious)
Mutabi-qi Raider (Green)
Theron 9/10HP
Mutabi-qi Raider (Yellow)
Bulgo 20/24HP
S'arkee
Khoqarit -1HP

@Negi: Jon gets an AoO on the green rider.

Doesn't the horse need to make a check for the jump?

"Oi, you're not invited!"

Shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25Sting: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"Ok girl, attack the man!"
My handle animal is +12 on my companion, so that basic command should not be a problem, right?

The roc flaps over.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15Peck: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21Scrape: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6Scrape: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Crit?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6Extra Sting: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
I hadn't expected it to....

Assume Negi put his bow down to pull out the potion, then

Jon snarls and snaps at the intruder.

bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Jon snarls and snaps at the intruder, dragging him off his horse and biting him in his neck so the man stops moving.

Redirecting Theron's attacks to the horse on deck.

AoO, Hoof: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Theron has to dodge a hoof when he takes a shot at the riderless horse, but then lands an arrow in the animal's guts. His roc flaps over and hurts the horse badly, nearly taking it out.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The horseman in the back looks like he also wants to charge and jump on board, but there's little place left for him to do so. Instead, he moves toward the water's edge and shoots an arrow at Jon. The arrow moves past Jon and ends up on the main deck.

Round 6:
Negi 12/16HP
Rolan -2/17HP (Prone & unconscious)
Horse (Green) -14HP
Theron 9/10HP
Mutabi-qi Raider (Yellow)
Bulgo 20/24HP
S'arkee
Khoqarit -1HP

With the boat swinging in toward the bank, Bulgo puts away his ineffective sling and draws his daggers. Finding a barrel his slips out of sight.

Hopefully there is enough stuff (stairs if necessary) to hide behind that Bulgo can actually hide this round
stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Also, with Khoqarit on -1, presumably Negi can also act again?

S'arkee will stay behind and keep healing up Roland.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Get up, ya bum!

Rolan gets to his feet and grabs the wheel, attempting to get the ship back under control,
Steer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
