Arjun grunts in pain as the pike lances his thigh. What!? They made me bleed my own blood!?
Reflex vs DC17
Arjun carefully picks his way through the sticky webbing, taking a few short steps towards one of the crossbowmen. [5-foot-step]
He reappears just as suddenly as he disappears and slashes out with his twin wakizashi.
+1 wakizashi/masterwork wakizashi vs Flat-footed Crossbowman6 [full attack]
Sneak attack
Vishkanya Venom: Injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 the vishkanya's Hit Dice + the vishkanya's Constitution modifier; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect Dex; cure 1 save. (on second wakizashi)
Then just like before, he disappears.
[swift action]
Noro does a quick survey of the situation, seeing the enemy crew is well in hand, Noro grabs a rope and swings across looking to avoid the webbing.
she immediately looks for signs for the whereabouts of the captain.
@ Noro: Most of the deck is covered in webbing, at least near any of the dhows sailors. It is hard to tell who is the captain but Pikeman #2 is dressed better than the others.
Noro swings across lands in a good spot but finds herself covered in webs. (you can still attack just take penalties for being entangled).
With a word and a jesture Jax slings two bolts of at Pikeman 1.
Pikeman 1 short halfts his pike and tries to attack Noro who is now up in his face.
And manages to graze her shoulder.
The other Pikeman (2) attempts to swing where Arjun is at.
And misses due to Arjun's speed.
***New round***
Noro I am looking at you ;) you are in their face, time to wreck em (their faces).
Dimitrious will cast grease(ref 16) on Pikeman 1.

Not letting the webbing show any effect, Noro turns her attention to the one that looks to be better dressed than the others, she makes the assumption he is in charge.
suddenly there is a fire in her eyes as she glares at the man. her unspoken posture despite the grappling webbing says she means business.
-
As the "captain" pee's his pants (hopefully) Noro then backhands him across the face.
@ Noro: I am sorry I misspoke. You are right grappled penalties.
Calah had managed to push the remaining crosbowman into the web.
He tries to avoid the web
The crossbowman's luck fails him as he finds himself stuck in the web.
By now, the sailors facing them can tell the ninja has a preferred method of attack.
Reappear.
TWF vs flat-footed Crossbowman 6
+1 wakizashi/masterwork wakizashi
Sneak Attack
Vanishing trick.
HP 34/43, Ki 1/4

The web is only above the waterline.
@ Arjun, you become visible with your first attack, the second does not get the bonuses, he is grappled by the web however. Also why is one of the wakizashi a d6 and one a d8? I think they are d6s right? Only the first should get the sneak attack unless there is another reason for the second SA. That said 20 damage ain't bad.
Suny begins to descend the rigging, getting ready to help subdue the enemy crew.
Getting extremely lucky the pikemen holds onto his pike.
Waves crash up between the ships briefly obscuring the view between. The ships rock hard because of the waves.
DC 10 Acrobatics check to stay standing and there is partial concealment between the ships this turn.
Both of the pikemen loose thier footing and fall to the ground still covered in web.
Realing from Noro's back hand and a little bit scared from her glare Pikeman 2 tries to stab her back.
Pikeman 1 tries to help his captain.
Crossbowman 6 falls under Arjun's blades.
Suny climbs down closer, threatening those who are threatening her ally, Noro.
"Surrender!"
Surrender and you live Aid Another for Suny
Calah will use a wave of salty air to push pikemen 2 overboard between the two ships.
"Last chance or you are sharkbait!"

Pikeman 2 gets pushed overboard by a rogue wave
He is still held by the web and is now dangleing by his feet between the two ships.
The other pikeman drops his pike in surender.
If you would like to end combat here you may. You may try to pull up Pikeman 2 if you like or you can just cut him loose into the sea.
What are your orders Captain?
Calah stands on the rail and yells.
"We accept yer surrender and we will be taking yer loot!
Now the lads who were smart enough to obey my surrender command have a chance to join our crew. You start as swabs until we feel ye can be trusted. The rest of ye we be leaving behind on yer boat with what is left of it after we take what we need."
Staying out of the webbing, Suny will also help the fallen sailor back on to deck... Thence assisting Sandra with seeing to the wounded.
We attacked you because these are dangerous waters, it seems we were right. Says a beautiful young woman who had been holding a crossbow, alone among the crew she seems to have control of her fear. We will join you if you will treat us fair, that is what we ask for, otherwise I'll swim. The rest of the crew sits fearfully waiting for your response.
Now that the combat is over a look at the isle reveals it is not uninhabited, or at least there is some sort of stone tower rising above the coast.
At the woman's comment Suny simply skips over to her, avoiding the pointed cross-bow, and gives her a friendlily hug. (^_^)
Noro moves to hoist the enemy captain back on board.
She leaves the parley to the parleyers.
We attacked you because these are dangerous waters, it seems we were right. Says a beautiful young woman...
"I be Captain Riptide and aye, we treat our crew member fairly and just. To raise arms against a crew mate without legitimate reason on our ship is punished by a dip with the sharks. If ye work properly ye get an equal share of the loot. And who would you be?" Calah calls across.

Not sure what to take of Suny's hug the woman stands there and accepts it. After a while she wams up to Suny and realizes she is just trying to be friendly.
@ Arjun, she is probably a 7 but you have been out to sea so she is probably a 9 to you.
Once back aboard and qustioned the man who apears to be captain says,
This is the Velltall, we transport mostly dry goods. She is a decent ship but aparantly not fast enough. He apears to be quite bloodied up.
Dimitrious will start healing members of the party.

Ah much better, Thank You Kyranda
Arjun pulls Calah aside. "We cannot allow the captain to live. He will be the center of plots to overthrow our command, and will be a liability every single day. At the very least, he needs to be gagged and chained in the hold."
|
Dangerous seas hey, all the more reason for you to join our crew. But the real danger lies not in other ships, people should be friendly with each other or try to minimize that problem. The real danger would come on the day that we run into a Kraken, or the lockness monster or the serpentine snake. and Jax says this with meaning, but is serious about believing in the legendary monsters.
Calah says to Arjun.
"I'm not planning to. He can take a rowboat or stay on that ship after we have plucked it from booty and willing crew."

The remaining crew helps empty the dhow of goods. It contains about 2000 pounds of wheat as well as farming implements. The former captain stands somberly and watches as the goods are removed. Once the transfer is complete, he gets in one of the rowboats without a word and starts rowing for the isle.
Transfering the stores from the dhow to your ship takes about 2 hours. Right now most of the stores are on the weather decks and will take about 2 more hours to store below.
"We could tow the other ship to port and sell it."
While still on the dhow, Noro searches the Captain's quarters looking for charts, maps, or any interesting information, possible customers or even blackmail information.
- (or if I can take 20 for a 26)
Noro helped with the plunder loading it on board, organizing the hold like and expert dock worker.
looking over at the other ship, shkuttle it, no contactsh in any port to shell a boat. her suggestion is blunt and to the point. people can heed her advice or ignore it, makes no difference to her.
Dimitrious will aid in the removal of product from the ship and then await orders to get us underway. Shall we load the cannon captain?
