The thing's skull grins. (Or, grins wider.) "Allt som ges till Kraken kan Kraken använda som hon behagar. Och det behagar henne att ersätta dig." It lurches a slow step forward and holds out one rotting hand. "Jag har redan tagit tillbaka mitt skepp, broder. Nu ska jag ta tillbaka min yxa."
The Captain roars. "Mitt skepp? Nej! Aldrig!" He raises breaker above his head and screams in hatred. "Jag dödade dig innan, och jag kommer att göra det igen!"
Well: screaming a war cry, Captain Odenkirk charges the glowing skeleton-thing. Breaker rises, then comes around in an arc so fast the air itself seems to sizzle! 1d20 ⇒ 16
...the skeleton thing explodes! It explodes into globules of glowing phosphorescent green slime, which sizzle, and hiss, and coat everything around it, including the ground, the Captain, and a couple of nearby trees.
And then with a sudden crackling sound like cold water being poured into hot oil, the green slime evaporates into a glowing green mist. Which writhes and twists together into a column, which leaps into the air to form a globe. Which suddenly coalesces into a solid form, revealing...
...Nimpy the halfling, somehow perched in midair, ten feet off the ground, as if sitting in a swing.
Nimpy smiles down at Captain Odenkirk. "Hello there again, you evil, murdering bastard," he says. "Miss me?"

Well F~%+ me sideways...
Spellcraft to see what just happenned 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
One or more illusion spells -- probably two, and maybe three, depending on how high level Nimpy is. (You could *smell* that thing...) Possibly the Nimpy that's sitting in the air is an illusion too, though it's hard to be sure at this distance; he could be using Fly or Levitate, and a cantrip or something to give the cool glowing effect.
So, who is up. Not sure exactly how the initiative order is at this point. Grumblejack should be enlarged from my Enlarge Person spell as of my next initiative.
Also, what weapon is Grumblejack using that he is only doing 1d12 damage? I thought he had a great axe or a great club, forget which? But as a size large, he should be doing 2d8(greatclub) or 3d6(greataxe) damage I think, before he becomes enlarged doing Huge damage which I think is 3d8 or 4d6.
Morsum finally charges into the fray stopping 10' from the Captain where his long shadowy neck and with its bloody red teeth and eyes reaches out to bite the captain.
Charging.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21 <-- please add if there are any flanking or other bonuses.
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 <-- pretty sure damage is 1.5xstr with a primary natural weapon, decrease to +4 if I am wrong
Seeing his servant arrive and watching Grumblejack grow to unnatural proportions, the Judge smiles and begins to cast another spell to increase the speed of his companions.
Complete casting Enlarge Person on Grumblejack (1 round casting time from last round).
Standard Action: Cast Haste on Edmin, Morsum, Jax and Grumblejack.

That's not quite going to do it, I think -- Sven attacks at +3, and he's no longer flanking. So, over to the rest of the init order.
As much as I hate to say it, while that does miss, it misses by less than 5 meaning he hits one of the mirror images..poof
Also, edmin since the Captain charged I don't think you could reach him to full attack but the second attack probably wouldn't have hit anyway..so..eh. Your poor pup is rolling like I do..but with half the hit bonus ouch!
Back to the top! Xenfal's turn and Round 4!
Initiative; Round 4:
Xenfal, Jax, Ragnar the Dog, Dren, the Judge, the two sailors, Captain Odenkirk, Sir Edmin, Morsum, Zimu, Grumblejack
Nimpy! By Mitra, I'm glad to see you. Let's bring down this monster!
Jax will attack and then five foot step to cast Cat's Grace (spell combat, avoid attack of opportunity).
Badly injured, the Captain reels. "No... you will not take... my ship..."
Zimu steps forward and gestures broadly. [botting Zimu] "It's over, Cruel Master. Time to lie down and die!" I'd say she's casting Grease again, using her bound object. Can the Captain save? 1d20 ⇒ 4

Xenfal charges the captain Della swinging in an arcing stab as she does a blue glow oozes out of Xen's pours and down to the point of the blade

Such a shame you did not drop your weapon...ts tsk.
Where exactly is Nimby at this point. I need to know if he is easily hittable by multiple players, or if he is flying somewhere out of range.
Once again, sorry for the slow posting. I think that the move is almost over. The moving truck arrived today. Some stuff broken and some unable to be moved to the second floor, but everything is here and now a few days of unpacking and life should return to normal - with any luck posting should just about be back to normal.
Edmin raises the sword and continues to pummels the captain with overhead strokes. Blood and gore slinging from the blade as he chops like a butcher at the down man."Die you motherless whore!"

Unless Xen manages to kill him or convince him to drop his weapon, Jax will attack Sven since he hasn't given up yet and is next in the initiative order (after Xenfal, unless you count initiative buffs as changing initiative in combat..then he'd be higher now after Cat's grace :D).
Well..if you won't surrender you can die like a man. At least you're loyal to your captain, as evil as he was.
Keep in mind folks that we still have Nimpy watching..don't go super evil yet!

I think he is dead. I will just hold off on Xen's attack
Watching Sven crumple Xen walks over to the captain and casts Detect Magic.

I have four pages to read, CONGRATULATIONS on killing the bastard of a captain!
Xen, Cуровую cast Detect Magic on the captain twice before, DM said the captain had the same magical items he had before, plus the chain shirt is magical. The new greataxe doesn't show any magical aura but I guess we know what it is now.
Cуровую can help with identifying the items with Appraise and Spellcraft.
There should be at least two magical weapons in the captain's cabin that we will finally get to look at. Hopefully something useful for spellcaster's as well.
