"Brother - look out behind you!" the Mariner steps over the deader onto the next creep in line.
Peeking up from behind his crate Fearless spots Glower casting spells. He holds another trio of force missiles ready in case she begins uttering anymore spells. He points two fingers to his eyes then at her. "Watching you."

"Brother - look out behind you!"
Brother B just smiles and twists his curled mustache.
She is just making every mistake like a novice chess player. I have forced the queen to move out of position so we can take the other important pieces.He then drops a red herring to help clear Vision Falluk.
Just like her folly when she incorrectly stabbed the Vision. Injuring him enough so he was easy to subdue.
In this chess game, you made critical errors. Glower, the Mariner was the important piece in this game. I'm about to tell you exactly how this will go down and step by step instructions on how you will lose the game. You'll be frustrated that you can't do anything about it!

With the scimitar seemingly made to hurt a cleric of Desna, Brother feels a terrible pain. A pain that brings a white to his eyes. The true definition of a blinding pain.
At that same moment, his hearing picks up the distinct sound of Mariner dispatching his foe. A "thump" that hits the wooden ship deck with just the right tone. Mariner's win is unmistakable.
A splash tells BB that a body - the one Cat's was fighting - had keeled over and fallen into the harbor.
The pain is seering, but Brother thinks with a sense of satisfaction.
I knew that was going to happen. Mariner finishes off his foe. Cat's does likewise and closes in on the queen in a constricting move.
Fearless is right behind those boxes... he'll save me. He'll save me.
I want credit for knowing that I was the fourth most important piece on the board and I knew how to checkmate those Razmiran bastards.
He doesn't hear the sound of his own body hitting the deck of the Sullen Starling, but it was a large "thump" indeed.

"FAT MAN DOWN!", the Mariner sees red and charges through the guard, "Get the F%%% out of my way!". Positioning himself over the potato, he strikes upon Glower with all he can muster.

Cats winces as Catiner defends his ship and his shaver.
His boat and buddy.
His pinnace and pal.
His barge and bunkmate.
His CATamaran and classmate.
The psychic energy in Fearless surges and every mad paranoid thought in his mind is thrust upon Glower.
Glower looks around, suddenly seeming unsure of the battle.
”Get up you cowards!” She yells at her guards. ”I know you’re not that hurt! Get up or you’ll be next on my blade!”
Charging across the deck, the Mariner barrels right through the last guard...
...he takes a viscous cut to the face, the kind that will surely leave an impressive scar, but knocks the other man right off his feet as he moves to defend his big-boned companion.
The guard scrambles to his feet and raises his scimitar, but suddenly discovers 2 feet of the Mariner’s sword in his chest. A moment later he finds himself at the end of the line at the Boneyard.

Whereas the Mariner who love to turn Glower into chum, he thinks it'd be more painful for her to see Brother revived and give her an earful of Desna. He drops the blade and manhandles her into submission.

Brother starts to stir. The healing washing over him and bringing him to a quasi consciousness.
Whoa. Thank you Fearless for saving me. I knew you would.
Not exactly understanding his surroundings, but knowing his friends are near, he stays lying down and calls upon Desna to help only his allies.
He then grabs a potion to down, in case of an emergency.
The Mariner tries to tackle Glower..
..and takes another deep gash for his efforts.
Fearless batters Glower with psychic force. She is briefly knocked off balance, but doesn’t fall.
Cats kneels and lays a hand on Brother Butterfly, waking him. Brother Butterfly immediately calls upon Desna to heal the watchmen.
Glower’s eyes dart towards them, widening as he witnesses their holy magic.
”Two heretics? What madness is this? Wait... who sent you!? Tell me!”
The red dagger stabs again as she slashes with her scimitar at the Mariner. On the backswing she cuts down at Brother Butterfly again.

the sound of an end of life snore/deathrattle is interrupted as Brother whispers these words.
I see valkeries. One is the warrior queen. The others have headresses of The Keeper of Luck. I even see Desna's Herald in attendance.

The Mariner grabs his backup weapon and strikes Glower hard. There is an audible sound of bones cracking.
”Urgh!” She grunts, but then discovers another kind of pain as Fearless attacks her mind with psychic power. ”AAAEIIIII!”
Her scream is cut short when Cats’ arrow sinks deep into her chest. She goes limp, her body floating gently above the deck of the ship.
The Mariner stands, blood dripping from multiple wounds, mixing with Brother Butterfly’s spreading pool.

Fearless slips in Brother butterflies blood as he pulls a potion from his pack. He falls on his side, sliding it in a bit. "M!@+~@@%*#$+!" He groans as he hurt his elbow but protected the potion. Slowly getting to his knees he rips the cork free with his teeth and pours the potion down Brother Butterflies throat while running his fingers along the fatty throat.
As Brother Butterfly wakes up Fearless smiles at him witha curious look. "So do all of the women you sleep with want to die as bad as this one when you are done?"

Cats moves over to touch Brother Butterfly a second time. This time, instead of the heated touch from the heat of battle, this one is more delicate, more intimate.
"Come cat, Catterfly, you're not done yet." He leans down closer to whisper to Brother. "You have yet to earn Catrenae's forgiveness. *SHE* calls you back because it's clear that you have yet to atone for your past sins. *SHE* calls you, in concert with your goddess to return, for you're not done yet. You have work to do. That you had to slay your lover, much like I did, shows that we are not done yet with our repentance. Get up. Get on your knees. Pray for forcatness."
Cats touches Brother again.

Brother's wounds magically close. The power of the potion and of Serenrae's healing touch generates blood to replace the pint that spilled on the ship deck.
Brother stirs. Still recalling his bazaar version of the charge of the valkeries.
He mumbles the word, Valkeries
Then looks around to see everyone looking down at him. He smiles.
He sees the henchmen down. He sees a floating Glower.
Well almost according to plan. Didn't foresee myself going down a second time.
He then looks at Fearless as he is accused of sleeping with the head to toe Burqa clad killer.
Glower? No. She was probably a nun. She certainly had some brick blocks loose at the top of her tower.
I put the old long sword into Seleen's sheath. Not into Glower. She was certainly working in conjunction with Seleen- but maybe she went after me as she had some stalker jealousy thing going.
He asks Desna to heal them and channels. Then giving a prayer to better heal Mariner.
Sacrificing Dispel Magic for 3rd level CSW on Mariner.
We can figure things out later. Let's have people check out below for the crew and whomever can get this ship out of dock had better do it NOW!

Didn't foresee myself going down a second time.
"I'm sure she did."
The Mariner tightens a rag around a bleeding wound then heads down. "SKYWIN! Where the hell are you?!"
Surviving two near-death experiences, Brother Butterfly calls upon Desna’s power to get back on his feet and wastes little time before instructing the Watchmen to prepare the Sellen Starling for departure.
Searching the ship, Skywin and the surly crew of grizzled sailors are found locked below decks. A few took some cuts and bruises from Glower and her guards, but most are in good enough shape and soon enough they hoist the sail and cast off.
The docks are quiet as the ship drifts away. Too quiet for a bustling port city. Such a fight should have caught the attention of the harbor guards, or at least a few curious locals, but there is no evidence that anyone is taking notice. Still, Brother Butterfly can’t help the feeling that Seleen is somewhere back there, perhaps trying to snatch power before Falluk restore order, or perhaps watching and plotting her next move from the shadows.
The sails of the Sellen Starling snap as the wind fills them full. The ship pulls forward and Xer falls away, becoming a dark silhouette against the setting sun. For a brief moment another ship drifts into sight from a far off wisp of fog. It may be a trick of the light, but it’s sail cuts the sky like a red wound.
A moment later and it is gone, swallowed by the darkness.
***
Hours pass, then days, with no sign of pursuit. The voyage continues, and mysteries remain, both here in Golarion and in the Dreamlands beyond the spiral stair.
Cats does what he can to help the boat cast off and move after the last battle. The last thing he wants is more killing or another patrol coming to the boat to try to arrest them. Instead, he helps fly the poop mast or batten down the treble flank, whatever needs to be done. He's not exactly good at boating, but is eager and motivated.
When they are safely away, Cats looks over the gear, pocketing only the flaming arrows for himself.
"Brother, do you mind explaining what happened there? Not that I'm one to cat, but did another lover try to cat you? Or am I just catfused? Someone tried to poison me and I'm sure as cat it wasn't something that I did. Because I ain't never catted here before," Cats asks.
Fearless gets to his feet, wiping Brother Butterfly's blood into his clothes. He sighs, though he is actually glad the man is still alive. "I'll be down with the books."
Fearless will continue to search for more clues.

After the Mariner attends to berating his crew for getting clobbered by a bunch of loin-clothed acolytes, he comes back to Brother, "Your kittyfest world tour is officially over. Cats got food poisoning and Fearless didn't even get his lobster. No more stops for ale or trim, or anything other than blood and guts!"

Cats listens to Mariner scold the crew, not disagreeing in the least.
