"Yay, we're followed by a stale joke from the last century." Besmara sigh's.
Captain, do you want us to try to sink her and run or let her get close to see what we are up against?
"I could go overboard and scout." Tink says
"I don't want to waste ammunition so it would be nice to see if shooting it has an effect before going all in with that. But I don't see how running would help." Besmara replies.
"If you think you can see something in that sea, your're welcome to check them out." she adds to Trytton.
Noonan comes rushing up with his bow. I don't think we can aim the siege weapons in this weather! He forms up the armed sailors so they are ready to repel.Going out alone? Don't know if wise.
Owlbear moves up to the side of the ship, Shield in 1 hand club in the other, Estelle at his side, stretching and loosening up her muscles.
As they get closer and Estelle can see what is up with the ship she backs up a bit.
"Ye want us to take on that? That be the Deathknell tis it not be? Best to just avoid it I be thinkin'"
"Cap'n I cannot be aimin' properly in the swells and the wind, I will do me best!"
Flips and 2 crew are trying to aim the catapult at the Whaler
"I want none of these aberrations to set a foot on the Kraken." Besmara states. She takes a closer look at what these enemies are but she has no clue about undead. "Hey Sandara, what is it we're facing here?"
"These are brine Zombies. They are slightly more sturdy than living seamen but you best use slashing weapons to destroy them." Sandara replies after checking them out through the spray of the sea.
Damn Im not set for this. Oh well, Flips. Let me know a minute or so before you fire. I can enchant that catapult for you.
You heard the lady. You all have scimitars make use of them.
Steady mates! Ye be the best Damn crew in the whole of the shackles. The stories we will tell when we clear this blight from the seas will earn us all drinks from many a lesser crew!
Lito continues on inspiring the crew's courage.
"Shoot them already!" Besmara orders.
"Cut the lines, don't let em pull us to them, we fight on OUR TERMS!
Ye heard the Cap'n they don't step foot on our ship. Port side archers grab the boarding hooks and push em off as they swing over."
With that Estelle's hand Axe flashes out to cut the closest grappling hook to her. Estelle then moves close to Owlbear, reading herself for the first zombie to try to come over.
They are going to hurt the ship!!!!
He raises his hand and from up near the siege weapons launches two arcane bolts out of his hand at the zombie hit by Estelle.
As it becomes clear that they will make it over to the Kraken Besmara casts returning weapon on her two masterwork daggers. She walks over to side with Estelle and show those sissies how that is done.
Rosie hacks at the ropes but as the first zombies come over she changes her target. "Ye sack of bones come 'ere ye ass. I'll cut you a new hole."
Sandara waits for the first group of them to land of the ship and then holds up her flag and channels the holy energy of her goddess.
"Besmara send those dead sailors back to their watery grave."
Trytton focuses and a wall of water begins to form on the deck of the Deathknell.
Fire at will! Noonan decides that he is better with a sword than bow and draws his blade to start hacking.
"Hey stop that." Besmara demands from the zombie. She then steps aside to pair up with Rosie to finish one more of them.
Rosie hacks again at that undead. "I'll show ye what ye get for cuttin' me with that rusty thing you wet whore."
Water flows over the side of the Deathknell to plug the holes that the zombies make in it.
Chey looks over and starts summoning a creature to help with the zombies.
Lito grabs a scimitar from one of the trembling crewmen.
Pointing it at the fallen zombies he says:
Look, There's nothing to fear, three of them are down already! They fall just like anything else!
Not much my magic will do against them, so I guess...
Then he steps up to the nearest zombie and slashes at it with the scimitar.
"Me no smash?"
Owlbear drops his club and draws his boarding Axe, slicing into the first zombie in front of him.
Estelle stays on Owlbear's left keeping him from being flanked.
As Estelle digs into the flesh of the zombie she pulls out chunks of it with her hands.
Flips yells at the 2 crew with him to line up the catapult for when they disengage. Keeping his cutlass drawn to protect his men.
SQWAK! RIP AND TEAR! SQWAK!
Besmara continues to throw daggers at what is left.
Besmara shouts annoyed.
Rosie takes a look over at the bell. But first things first. "There ye get one two. makes ye look better. Because the people won't look inta yer face but there." she tells the zombie before cutting open its belly.
Tear down the wall! Tear down the wall! Noonan wants to smash the captain.
WOTON!!!!!
Noonan flings himself over.
Besmara walks to the rear of the ship and aims the ballista at the bell. "Hey Chay, cast me that spell on the ballista!"
Once Chay has cast it she fires the ballista.
After the hit she turns to Flips "Now ye take yer thumb out of yer ass and keep shooting."
The wall of water on the Deathknell collapses and washes over the deck, before starting to flow back into a wall placed to cut off as many zombies from the bell as possible but still allow our crew to reach it.
See, they are down, we will take them all! Onward!!
Then Lito attempts to jump across
Landing quite gracefully.
As he lands there he sets his feet and slashes at one of the zombies in reach.
Chat finishes his spell and three celestial eagles appear around the zombie captain.
They screech in fury at the undead thing and then attack:
Eagle 1(Celestial, augmented)
Eagle 2(Celestial, augmented)
Eagle 3(Celestial, augmented)
As the eagles attempt to do their work, Chay steps over and touches the Balista enchanting it as a +1 weapon for the next 3 min.
