I'll add a few landlubbers on your deck when i update the map next time.

Top of the round Chell's insect plague of two wasp swarms appear. Chell where do you want the swarms located? Look at the map above.

Heading into a meeting for several hours, won't be able to post till tonight, so getting my action done even though the chell & spell casters haven't gone yet.

Round 10

"Now you shall die like your belov'd captain."

"Actually, I hated the bastard... killing my mother and keeping me prisoner for years... I only stayed, biding my time until I could kill him! NOW YOU"LL DIE TOO, FOOL!"

Ptahh takes the brunt of Flynn's attack and smiles, "Didn't anyone tell you not to bring a toothpick to a real sword fight?!?"

Quick check on a break. 2nd atk BAB is 11 not 16. So, Crit was 33, with confirmation at 18. If not confirmted then that damage was 25. My mistake for going too quick. So total damage of 77 or 52 if second crit didn't confirm. Also noticed I forgot the "miss chance"... again.

Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 94

Waiting on Chell.

By the way, where's the fire elemental at on the map?

Update coming. Found a computer. Mine is probably going to be on hold until this weekend or next week.

Chaos. That's what this battle was. So many things going on and so many noises. The crakle of lightning, the shouts of men, the roar of fire from an elemental. Through it all she somehow heard the command to kill the prisoners. Her pulse quikened. She began to panic trying to come up with some way to stop what was about to happen. But she couldn't. Even if she called for a cease-fire, no one would listen. Their was too much bad blood between them. And Flynn couldn't be let go. Not after what he had done and intended to do. So she continued to fight but more frantically.

Then she heard the cries of fear. Stop it. Please stop it. Again she was stuck listening to their pleas but unable to do anything. She couldn't imagine what these men could have gone through to do such an evil act. She looked down at the staff. The creature it came from was evil. That was its nature. It had no choice.

Humans did.

So how could anyone choose that? How could Flynn say it was their fault? How could his first mate and his men not even question it but anticipate it?

Chell's first instinct was always to help. Was always to forgive or offer a second chance. Not this time. For the first time she felt a very real and vengeful anger. Flynn didn't deserve her charity. He made his choice. And his choice was too elevate himself by any means necessary, even if that meant stepping on the bones of those he killed. Quell's teachings were about helping. And removing this stain from the seas would only make them safer.

She began to draw circles with the staff, pullin gon the energy within as she she pulled it from herself for her own spells. She had never cast such an advanced spell but the staff did the work, she just directed its fury. A buzzing sound came from it that built in volume as it circled until it drowned out the sounds nearby. When she could barely hear herself think anymore she felt it reach its peak.

"NO MERCY," she yelled as she launched two black, bussing orbs through the air. They bulged and moved grotesquely as they flew through the air, trailing the odd wasp that couldn't keep up. Once they reached their targets they exploded outward and then converged. In the moment they broke apart she called another spell down, faster than she ever had. A bolt of lightning shot through the center of the cloud of bugs before it converged on the singed target.

Cast it just above and out of the way of Flynn. My standard will be Call Lightning on Flynn, DC 18 ref for half. Then have the two swarms decend on him and the group of three marines up and to the right of Flynn that are blocking our guys.

Lightning: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6) = 17

Swarm damage+poison: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

By the way, where's the fire elemental at on the map?

I will see if I can add a spar and then the critter to the map.

I probably should have you make a knowledge or spellcraft regarding the insect plague you cast through the magic staff, but I don't want to hold things up. You would realize to cast the plague over his head and away is wasting the charge. Insect plague spell: The swarms are stationary after being summoned, and won't descend on creatures. Plus the swarms are adjacent not on top of one another.

*your sails are down but I didn't have a token with sails. There are two fires on the sails/ropes. the one with the yellow halo is the elemental. Although many of you would have to look though the fog cloud to see him given your POV.

It was just for effect. Only area attacks can harm a swarm. So are we going with the raw version or your more scary version. Cause the fact that they are stationary changes things in regards to tactics.

Round 10

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 S%%#.

Astrianna doesn't feel the tingling of the air this time, and gaps as the bolt of lightning shoots through her. She stumbles and barely catches herself, teeth tightly clenched. "Chell! We could use some healing!"

Her clothes smoking, she keeps singing and barks some orders to the fire crew. "Put out those flames! Don't get near the fire elemental!"

She growls at the caster that just zapped her and the crew, swearing to see them dead. However, the dog is too far out of range for her spells.

Her hands waggle arcane gestures and she silently screams into the mind of the priest aboard the Weasel that is standing by himself.

When she hears that sails are sighted she curses, and steps back into the fog near Chell. "If that's the other ship that was with the Weasel, we're fish food." She says raggedly to the priestess.

Free action: Maintain Inspire Courage (11/21)

If you've been hit with a lightning bolt in in a previous rounds you can either add 6 HPs, or go back through the rounds and subtract the last dice from each roll and add those HPs back to your score. I don't have time to go back through each round myself.

The prince become sailor watches the bolt's trajectory, waiting until it was nearly to him before leaving back impossibly, to avoid it.

Seeing the lightning rip through people before and behind him, he tries to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Forgot to direct the flaming sphere to burn someone. If I can't see the cleric to burn him, just put it over whatever random weasel sailor that Bri can see.

No time to be random. Thought you had floatie guy with me.

I don't know if I can make the ball float. I can try something against floatie guy next round though.

Two of Sorrin's arrows hit the sorcerer and he goes limp while hovering.

One ballista bolt strike the mate that was makeing his way on the deck.

"Anyone have eyes on the ship approaching? If it's Capt Dre we are all being sold at the auctions...we ain't got men or resources to defend as second attack! Capt Dre two easy prey for his coffers, so close to port. His vision is blocked by fog. "We've got burning sails and rigging, most of out marines and veterans are dead or dying."

He barks, "I need a sound off of able crew to sail and damage report...NOW!'

I have to double check but I believe two sailors on the poop are actually dead form a lightning bolt.

Ptahh can you update your HP line.

Ptahh roars, "Lay down your arms and surrender or the last thing your eyes will see is my blade cleaving your body in half!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Using intimidate (unless you have some special ability/method) to change an attitude require 1 minute of conversation.

"Stuupid bytch ain't gonna let us live anyways...she said NO MERCY!" The mate spits on the deck. "b'sides those below will be able to hold off till Capt Dre gits 'ere, then you'll be pressed from below and 'is crew. Sitting ducks you are...win the battle but lose the day." He snears. "Course, ye can git back on yer ship and sail away 'fore he gits 'ere." Sensing a slightest opening for preservation and him being the new Capt. "We all live t'fight another day."

Yes, the bolt that hit Bri earlier, killed the two men on the poop deck with her.

Oh s+!+, this does not look good. Should I wonder now if I can manage to swim all the way to port if need be?

'Wrong Answer!" retorts the half-orc foaming at the mouth in a full rage.

Sense motive check.

Sorrin you can make another perception check for you crew in the riggin.

Hearing the Pirates shout the name Captain Dray, Ptahh looks up and sees the ship approaching. "Damn him!"

how far out is the ship? And how long will it take to get here?

Astrianna yells over the din of battle to Capt. Donovan. "MINOR DAMAGE TO SAILS AND RIGGING, ONE of TWO FIRES UNDER CONTROL, FIRE ELEMENTAL STILL RAGING. WE CAN STILL SAIL CAPT'N! I HEARD THEM SAY DRE IS ON THE WAY!"

The bard sends a message to Ptahh, the whispering in his ears loud. "Ptahh! Drag what's left of Flynn and the sorcerer back to the Baron, and pull your men out. We can't take on that other ship!"

She looks through the fog at the horizon in frustration. Besmara's bouncing balls, we had this! The Weasel was ours! By Calistria's Stinger I will see you hanging from the bowspirit, Dre.

Great questions but...There is so much happening around you Ptahh. You do know the ship is off the forward, port side of your ship. Essentially it's behind where Ptahh is standing there is a snowing field of stinking fog in your way.

The bard sends a message to Ptahh, the whispering in his ears loud. "Ptahh! Drag what's left of Flynn and the sorcerer back to the Baron, and pull your men out. We can't take on that other ship!"

I was thinking the same thing. Haha.

Ptahh hoists Flynn over his shoulder, skewering h with his own rapier, and grabs the sorcerer. Then double times it back over the boarding plank. As he crosses the plank, he calls for a general withdrawal. "Back to the ship, Marines!

Astrianna moves out of the fog cloud, two magical arrows in hand. She fires both of them in rapid succession into the fire elemental terrorizing their sails. "Sorrin, help me with this elemental so we can get out of here!"
