With a crash and a groan the two ship come together. Over all lines. Calls out Mr. Plugg. The other ship remains surrounded by fog. But you can just make out some figures on the starboard side of their ship.
Options for boarding:
Grappling hook: Toss a grappling hook over (AC 5) and swing across on it then climb 15 feet up to the rails of the Man's Promise. DC 10 climb check to climb the rope. You will be flat footed for a turn unless you succeed at a dc 15 acrobatics check when coming over the rails. (Having actually done ship boardings, flatfooted is an understatement.) Full round action.
Jump: simply run and jump across, DC 20 (failure would be bad). You will not be flat footed. Move action.
Swing from mast: DC 10 Acrobatics check to get across. Beat a DC 15 to land on your feet. Landing on your feet will mean that you are not flat footed. Move action
Got a better idea: I am all for it, will definitely follow the rule of cool, if it sounds cinematic and you get a decent check I am all for it.
Calah looks at her animal companion and starts signalling it to follow her while she starts running for the other ship (effectively pushing the animal to carry her).
Calah looks over her shoulder and sees that the bird is swooping towards her. She lifts her arms to grab the Roc's legs and jumps at the same time.
(fly speed would drop to 55 due to heavy load)
Calah will let herself drop on the other ship.
So the Roc can't actually carry you unless you are a light load. (picking up some Muleback Cords will be a cheap way to make this happen.) But I can definitely see the Roc helping you get across almost hang glider style. So I am going to add its fly check to your acrobatics check to see if you can make it across. (Pretty Cinematic, don't worry we can have you pick up muleback cords in the next port, they are cheap and relatively common)
Calah makes it across with the aid of her Roc. You see a couple figures in the mist perhaps five feet away. (you still have a standard action)
She readies an action to push her flame into the face of the first opponent that moves to attack her.
The Roc flies a little further up. He can't see anything with this mist.
"YIPEEE!" (^_^) Sunny hollers as she swings from her perch, aiming for the deck of the Aft-castle as per instructions/Orders.
Arcing through the air and alighting upon the deck.
"That were FUN! When can we do it agin?!" (^_^)
Yup the Stern-castle/wheel. ;)
I would assume so, unless you want to be farther up forward but that is where you we "asked" to go.
before the ships come together Noro grabs a hunk of reddish tobacco leaves and puts it in her mouth. the juices from the chew giving her a touch of euphoria and a readiness for battle. Her mouth blood red from the tobaccoo juices.
As the ships come together Noro grabs a rope swinging across gripping the rope with her legs and one hand putting her grappling experience to use holding the rope tight.
as she sails over the railing of the other ship she lands with a roll to her feet, and (hopefully) right in the face of whoever is manning the wheel.
letting hep saliva drool from her red mouth like the snarl of a blood crazed beast.
Noro lands next to two sailors, with what seems like blood dripping from her lips she snarls. One of the sailors in front of her wets himself.
Now that Dimitri can make out the enemy, he unloads with MM on 1
One of men in the mist collapses as Dimitrious's bolts of force impact him.

Acrobatics
Arjun leaps off the mizzenmast for extra momentum, and swings through the air gracefully, like a serene bird of prey over the din of battle. Nearing the nadir of his arc, he snaps his legs forward to increase speed and releases near the apex. He somersaults several times in the air before reaching out and preternaturally grabbing a rope hanging from the enemy ship. He completes a second swing over the enemy deck, sailing over the stern castle railing and landing as sure-footed as a mountain goat behind the helmsman.
He scrapes the blades of his wakizashi together in a deadly hiss and takes an offensive stance. "Behold and despair, ye unfortunate souls! For death has come to visit you on black wings! Do not bother with prayers, for you will face your gods soon enough!"
Intimidate
Suny claps her hands in appreciation of Arjun's awesome performance! (^_^)
The helmsman screams in terror before abandoning his post. As he runs forward on the ship Arjun and Noro get a chance to make good on their threats.
A sailor tries to skewer Calah on a short sword. Setting off her readied action.
Another sailor attacks Kyranda while she is flat footed.
Dimitrious can still make out figures in the mist.
Sniping one attacking Calah
= hit
As the sailor tries to flee Noro growls as she does a quick flip and her foot slams onto the sailor (assuming a 16 is a hit).
she then turns to face the next enemy
Sunny does her best to help Kyranda by making herself an obvious threat. Stepping closer she calls out warning-ly,
"Hey! I got a sword too!" *Waves Aldori deuling sword provocitavly in sailor's direction/face*
Calah goes to the next pirate and puts a flame to his face
@ Calah, I was not sure what attack you were doing,I suppose I could have guessed, in the future feel free to roll your readied actions ;)
Calah's hand wreathed in flame lashes out at the sailor in front of her, she misses but as she does the sailor takes a hit from Dimitrious's magic missile.
Noro connects hard with the helmsman as he runs away.
Sunny distracts the sailor who attacked Kyranda, the sailor turns her attention on Sunny.

The Helmsman gets another gash from Arjun's sharp sword before he manages to run up forward and disappear into the mist.
The sailor who swung at Calah lies on the ground not moving a scorch mark across his face.
Three more sailors run up out of the fog.
A well dressed female officer attacks Arjun with a boarding pike.
Another Swings a sword at Calah
And the third tries to take a slice out of Sunny
"Damn you landlubber! I'll teach you attacking me is a bad idea! Go swim with the sharks!"
Calah takes a step backward and starts speaking in Aquan. She summons a large splash of water that circles around her while she is waving her arms. Calah has an upset glare in her eyes and gathers the water around. She makes a circle and pushes all the water out in one strong jet, pushing the poor pirate overboard.
Suny continues to grin, even as asecond person materializes out of the fog and swings at her.
The tanned Elf does not counter attack immediately. Instead she draws a short 'L' shaped stick from its sheath across the small of her back with her 'off' hand. Deftly flipping it so as to lie along the edge of her forearm. So equiped she continues to help.
keep foes from hurting Kyranda as she regains her footing.
"I in't had a work out like this in ages!" She gleefuly exclaims. (^_^)
The pirate who attacked Calah is hit with a gush of water, looses his footing and falls overboard, a splash and a scream follow.
Jax fires bolts of force at the one who took a stab at Sunny.
Two sailors remain at the stern of the ship. The female officer and the one Jax just hit with his magic missile.
I will continue to snipe the ones attacking Calah.
same one I hit before if he is still standing
Calah says to the officer "Ye might wanna be surrendrin' lass. there not be many of yer crew left. Ye be treated fairy if ye surrender."
Noro moves toward the one that looks like an officer. attempting to come up from behind. she zone in on that one target. practically ignoring the others.
(+2 more for flank if she can get it)
Noro's rage becomes apparent, she lets the adrenaline flow and she becomes one with the battle her teeth blood red from the chew.
she comes up from behind the female officer and grabs her shoulder to spin her around to face Noro Pick on shomeone your own shize b+~~~ and Noro lays into her with a right hook.
Arjun slashes with his wakizashi at the ship's officer, his blades somewhat erring due to the smoke and haze.

Calah walks up to the redheaded babe who winked at her earlier and says (loud enough for others to hear)"Well met, could you lead me to the Galley? I'm sure Mr. Scourge would not want me to be lost on the ship. I could walk in on the Captain while hes on the privy with my luck!"
Seeing as the cook is too drunk to do a thing Rachel will search the Galley to see if there is anything of use in there, for cooking and to defend herself should it be needed.
Calah will have to hunt for turtles and will have her Roc assist her in that.
Rachel cooks an incredible good turtle stew for everyone to enjoy. It is nice and spicey with some fresh fruit (purify water and food spell^^) and water with some cucumber flavor in it. Even the normally moldy and dry bread tastes fresh out of the oven.
@ Calah, I was like HUH?? In the middle of battle, that is dedication to the culinary arts.
The officer takes a hard hit from Noro, dodges a hit from Arjun only to be hit twice by him. . She does not look well off.
The officer takes a five foot step and stabs at Noro.
The remaining other sailor tries to stab at Sunny.
As this happens the fog breaks and you can see up to the front of their ship. You can see Captain Harrigan about to enter a hatch about 30 feet in front of you. Behind him is a sailor running at him about to strike. Captain Harrigan seems unaware.

Capt. Behind you,
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V or S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (object); Spell Resistance yes (object)
You can make an unattended Fine flammable object catch on fire. This works as if you were using flint and steel except that you can use spark in any sort of weather and it takes much less time to actually ignite an object.
casting Spark if close enough on the Pirates clothes to start their clothes on fire
