Suny paddles over to the side of the ship and slowly, carefully begins to climb.
Arjun is a blur of motion as he disappears [vanish, swift action], pads around the guard [move action], and breaks his invisibility to attack [standard action].

Round 1 Init 9: Dimitrious who is flying 30' off the front of the ship. Hits the guard whom Arjun just bonked with some MM hoping to finish him off.
Arjun clocks the guard in the temple, sending him to the ground with a thud.
The remaining guard shouts out Hey, who are you! before swinging his axe twice toward Arjun.
but he misses terribly. The axe slips out of his hands and flings into the water.
Everyone is up.
Status:
Blue: unconscious
Yellow: 13 damage
Noro opens the hatch to below decks. looking for a ladder to go below, need to keep the reinforcements occupied and no sounding of the alarm she thinks as she looks for a means to go below.
@There are a couple lanterns on deck. One is not too far away. You can break it free with a DC 10 strength check or unfasten it over two turns.
Noro unfastened the damn lantern.
Following his standard operating procedure, Arjun vanishes, circles around, and strikes from the rear.
+1 agile sap nonlethal
Stealth
He beats the guard like a rented mule.
Reeling from the blow to the side of the head the remaining guard turned just in time to be slapped by Jax's magic missiles. He crumples to the ground with a thud.
Calah softly lands on the deck in her hawk form and changes back to her normal shape. She gives a sequence of whistles to Havok that let's him know to guard the deck. "I heard some noise down below. A hissing and a gasp. I assume they know we are here... prepare for battle, but try and keep quiet. Hopefully not all of them are alerted of our presence." Calah says in hushed tones and moves down with Noro where here supernatural darkvision helps her look around in the dark.
Noro eventually get the lantern only to see Calah peering into the darkness.
show off she says sarcastically.
Perception
"We're on a boat!"
Arjun uses his adamantine dagger to dispatch the unconscious guard, wipes it clean on the dead man's trousers, then searches both of the bodies.
With the situation temporarily under control, Dimitrious will fly up to the crows nest and make sure no one in the surrounding area has noticed the hubub on the ship.
Suny keeps on dragging her tired, worn, wrung out storm tossed body up the side of the ship.

@Dimitrious, You see no activity at the docks. With the rain and current hour there is no one about.
@Suny, you make it aboard.
As Noro gets the lamp unfastened, a beast man on the deck below slings a glob of acid at Calah.
[ooc]You can probably surmise this is a Rakshasa, the glob of acid is Acid Bolt and is considered ongoing damage for the purpose of concentration checks. [/dice]
Everyone is up.
Confirming that no reinforcements are coming, Dimitrious sees the beastman attacking his captain and responds in kind, casting glitterdust (Will 17) on the beastman.
Even if this fails, the beastman will not be able to hide
The beast man shakes in anger as he is hit by the golden dust. You will pay with pain.
The space you are next to is the hatch that Noro opened. Those are five foot square so he is beyond a 10 foot reach. Unless you can get some more reach you are going to need to move to attack. If you were directly above where he is you could hit him with 10 foot reach provided he does not move.
Suny picks herself up and scampers wobbily over to where every one is gathering.
Noro glances at Her Captain. You ready to go after a Pirate Lord? That is mosht likely Bedu Hanji. You shure about thish?
Noro waits for the nod from the Captain before engaging the beast below.
Arjun does not fight. Instead, he raises the anchor, unfurls the sails just enough for some motion, and starts to steer the ship toward the Malevolent Grace.
"Why not close the hatch and bar it? Then we can sail to wherever we want and fight him at our luxury, away from reinforcements?"
@ Arjun, that's several minutes of work for a group of people. We are still in rounds. You can start working on one of these things in an effort to draw him out if you want.
"I would hardly call him a pirate, besides, he ruined my shirt." Calah says angrily as she points to the acid damaged shirt she wears.
She changes slowly and surely into a large, no huge creature. In a matter of seconds Calah transformed into a giant armored squid, tentacles and arms waving angrily towards the creature in the hold.
The Rakshasa begins clawing the deck. Grintesh I call you forth with your bonds. I have something for you to play with. Wisps of darkness rise out of the scratch marks the Rakshasa makes in the deck. They begin to slowly coalesce into the beginnings of a humanoid shape.
New round everyone is up.
Status:
Calah: -13, wild shaped into Squid
Rakshasa: Gliterdusted.
A swarm of tentacles and jaws stream into the hold, violating the Rakshasa in all of his orifices under the sound of an aquatic slur of anger coming from the giant squid.
Dimitrious watches the lovecraftian horror attack the beastman with satisfaction and holds his action if/until whatever the beastman summoned appears
The Rakshasa jumps out of the way of the pit. As he does calah's tentitcles slam into him.
@Calah, run me by your to hit bonus. I am not sure why it is so low.
@Noro, you may take a second standard action in round two if you wish. You may still want to jump in when I resolve Calah's actions. But I need to know why the bonuses are so low. The guy has a decent AC.
@Noro, to avoid retconning I am giving you a second standard action this round. The Rakshasa's AC is 25, if the bonuses were correct, then all of Calah's attacks missed.
Suny watches her Captain take charge.. and tentacles... for a moment, before turning and scampering once more towards the railings.
