Not quite as acrobatic as Allie, Allende walks down the stairs and tries to blast the leftmost sailor with a burst of wind and rain.
Amamer runs up, and unleashes more of her arcane power at the three sailors.
Both of the remaining sailors drop to the deck unconsious.
Sandman tossed his rope near the unconscious sailors. "Tie them up, starting with the ones who are knocked out, and toss their weapons into a pile near the wheel."
Then Sandman went about trying to save the sailors who were bleeding out. A hand laid upon them and a whisper stopped their bleeding.
"Allende, once they are all tied up, channel your goddess' power to heal them. We want them awake and in line by the time the captain comes back on deck."
Allie catches the rope and begins tying the men with snug, but not choking bowlines around each of their necks. She begins at one end of the rope, and adds a loop for each subsequent prisoner.
"Drag the rest over here once you've patched them up," she says as she works.
Once all of them have been tied, she secures the remaining bit of rope to athe gunwale.
Amamer whoops and casts Prestidigitation to create a turn Allie's hair blue. (DC 14 to resist) Then she gets to work tying them up.
"Hey, what'n the Abyss?! Amy! What did you do to my hair? Is it gonna stay like this?!"
"Haha!! Blue is a good color for you Allie." Ashrem says as he drags another body over to be tied up.
"Our first plunder turned out pretty good. It'd be even better if a few individuals took the plunge overboard." His smile disappears as he spots Allende. "Well besides you, mate!" he says before breaking out in a faux-nervous laughter.
Sandman laughs heartily at the scene. "Never before have I seen a kitten with blue fur."
Amamer holds up two fingers.
"Secure the wheel and the boats," she said. "Now I guess we just hold the fort until the rest finish mopping up."
"Don't worry about the hair," she says to Allie. "It'll go back to normal like that." She snaps her finger and dismisses the spell. "I wonder if my good friend Fipps would enjoy that game?"
"Considering he's got no hair on his head..." Allie says with a giggle.
The battle has definately gone in favor of the pirates. You start to hear crys of surrender from the Rahadoumi sailors towards the bow. Shortly after you secure the last of the unconscious sailors. Captain Harriagan emerges from the captains cabin below the stern castle. He ignores you and stalks away towards the bow of the ship. He appears to be carrying a human heart in his left hand.
A short time later two Rahadoumi sailors and an officer come running from the bow fo the ship intent on escaping in the ships boat. The officer seeing you, calls to the sailors Hold them off! I will free the boat.
The sailors attack with thier short swords.
miss
The officer is able to free one of the ropes holding the ships boat.
Allie tucks and rolls under the guard of the sailor in front of her; coming to her feet and attacking the officer.
Amamer takes a step back from the sailor who wounded her.
"If you'd just surrender, we wouldn't have to do this!" she complains, and then blasts him.
Allende helps Allie tie up the sailors but hasn't quite satisfied himself that they are secured enough before the hostilities break out anew. He waits unil Amamer's spell goes off, having seen how effective it is and then steps forward and attacks anyone still left.
"Shhhhh…" says Sandman, waving a hand toward the Rahadoumi officer as he moves down the stairs toward her.
The two sailors and Allie slump to the deck unconsious. The officer ignores Sandman's attempt to render her unconcious and turns on him stabbing with a boarding pike.
"Ooooo prettyyy colorsss....."
Allie's sword slips from her hand and clatters to the deck. She wavers unsteadily a moment, then collapses in a heap.
Sandman barely grunts, rolling his eyes at the wound and stepping in close to swing his flail.
"You're not just going to leave your crew behind, are you?" Ashrem asks the remaining officer. "Surrender."
The officer drops her pike and draws a pair of short swords. Surrender? To you pirates? the officer replies to Ashrem. I'd be better off with the sharks.
Amamer takes the opportunity to reload her crossbow.
"Or you can become one of us." Sandman says "Doubt the sharks will give you the same offer."
"You want to live or not?"
"Somebody loves you. Somebody will pay your ransom," Amamer says to the officer. "There's no profit for us in killing you."
"The sharks will undoubtedly kill you. Surrender and you may have the chance to see your friends and family again. Drop the swords and we won't have to hurt you."
The officer looks over the side of the ship at the circling sharks. She lets her short sword slip from her hands to the deck. I am not ready to die yet, I surrender.she says.
Sandman gestures to the deck where the other prisoners sat, bound. "Go sit with your mates. We'll patch ya up. Oh, and toss the uniform jacket. You aren't an officer anymore, and you don't want to stick out as one when the captain comes to take a look at you."
Ashrem removes the officer's coat like a gentleman before unceremoniously wadding it up into a ball and tossing it overboard. "Miss, I'll warn you now that there is some of our crew that I don't trust not to harm you. If it seems we'll be unable to keep you safe from them, I'll try to slip you a dagger to defend yourself with."
Not long after the officers surrender the fog lifts. The pirates have clearly won the day. The crew of the Man's Promise is disarmed and bound and then marched across the boarding planks onto the Wormwood. Once the prisoners are secured the victory celebration begins. The party lasts the rest of the day, all night, and well into the next day. No duties are assigned during the party. The captain holds a meeting with his officers the first day, and that evening divvies up the plunder from the Mans Promise.
Each of you recieves 287 gp and 5 sp. The party is given is also given 3 potions of cure moderate wounds, and a potion of invisibility. Captain Harrigan awards Sandman a magic amulet and a magic shortsword for warning him about the sailor sneaking up on him.
"Oooooo my head, " Allie groans as she finally shakes of the effects of Amamer's spell.
Her eyes light-up at the pile of coins presented to her, then grow wider at the sight of the potion bottles.
"We did it! We're real pirates, now," she says with child-like glee.
Maheem
Badger
Conchobar
Amamer dances for roughly 24 hours, only stopping to chat with the crew, and trying to sway those who are sitting on the fence that Plugg and Scourge are NOT their friends.
"They think to rule by the whip, but we didn't become pirates to be slaves," she whispers. "We can plunder the seas, share in the spoils, and live the life Besmara promises, if we stand together."
Day One Activity
Allie takes her share down to the quartermaster's Store, looking to buy some upgraded gear:
On her shopping list to buy:
Masterwork Studded Leather Armor
Masterwrok Thieves' Tools
Masterwork Crossbow (light or hand)
Crossbow bolts
Any alchemical "fun" items (tanglefoot bags, alchemist's fire, etc.)
On her list to sell:
Heavy crossbow
Chain shirt
Quilted Armor (only if MW Studded Leather is available)
2 masterwork short swords
"Hiya, Grok! How's business?" she says, smiling at the half-orc.
Allie looks over the items, and her hand rests on the leather armor.
"I love the quality. Do you have one that's this nice, but has the metal studs all over it?'
"Sorry kitten but that is the best I can do for you. You interested or not?" Grok growls back.
"That's alright, I'll pass on the armor, but I'll take the rest!" she says with a grin.
"What do I owe ya?"
Sandman spent the evening with the prisoners who were being held in the hold, patching up wounds. He wasn't a diplomat so he didn't say much, but he did make sure they knew that he bore them no ill will and would help as much as he was able.
"Don't do anything to upset Plugg or Scourge. They'll take any excuse to make an example out of one of you. I'll try to make sure you're fed well and patch you up as much as I can."
Then he left the crew to their revelries and went to sleep. He woke up sometime in the middle of the night with his heart pounding.
He walked out on deck amid the passed out drunks and a few random stragglers still up playing knucklebones. He walked to the prow and gripped the rail, processing as he stared down into the black waters. He pulled his mask from his belt and slipped it on. It gripped his face and held it, drinking in his fear. His heart rate went from a fast throb to a slow drum almost instantly. His whole body seemed to ripple as he took a deep breath.
He was glad for the fear. He would need it later.
Well Kitten Grok says The tools and crossbow will cost you 435 gold. A flask of acid cost 10 gold,a flask of Alchemist Fire is 20 gold, and a Tanglefoot bag costs 50 gold.
"So, how about everything you've put on the table, except for the leather in exchange for the pair of fancy short swords, the chain shirt, this heavy crossbow, and my old set of tools? I'd include your usual bonus for good service, of course..."
For those I will trade you the tools, the crossbow, and a flask of Achemist Fire.
"Throw in the quiver of bolts, a tanglefoot bag, and a flask of acid and you gotta deal," Allie counters.
"Listen Kitten, I like you, you've got spunk." Grok says in a freindly tone. "But I don't like you enough to risk a keel hauling for you. There isn't a bigger miser on the Fever Sea than Capn Harrigan, and unless I miss my guess you picked up these fancy swords when we took the ship, same as this chainshirt. The Capn didn't give em to you so you probably aren't supposed to have them. I can throw in some bolts but the Acid and the tanglefoot bag you have to pay for."
