Hate to break the awesome, but you need a straight line of at least 10ft for the run, sadly in your position there wasn't.
Boarding the No Return, round 1.
Spots delays
Kenji takes a run and jumps onto the ship.
Sailor 1 hews at Kenji Power attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 1 = 20Whack: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6, he manages to hit the monk over the head for quite a sore spot.
But then, to the surprise of all, a hyenalike man, known to be a gnoll, appears. Gnolls are known to be savages, cruel and sadistic. This one snarls and shows his teeth.
Snarl Shoreshackle, Whipping time: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Kenji feels a strong lash around his leg as he's yanked prone, much to a sadistic hackling from the gnoll.

If you go back 1, then you have a run, but this is both a long and high jump, you'd need higher than 18 to jump the angle and pass Spots' square. Since sadly you can't end a movement inside an occupied allied square. You'd spend one move action jumping to and holding the ledge, then a second to climb up and move to where you want, but the sailors will get AoO if you do.

Alternatively, you could run around it. :)

where is the fun in running around? I took a look a the map on my break. any reason why Draylan can't back up 1 and jump forward, putting him inbetween the enemies. Then have Spots move 2 right and jump across to flank with enemy up 3, right 1 from their current location? Seems like that would make everything work?
If you don't think this is feesable, then go ahead with the climb up take 2 AoO's from the emenies on both sides. It's all good either way!

Druid time
Keera asks Alacorta to go help Sele and Kenji with the sailor, then she casts prodece flame and moves to a better place for throwin the spell.
Alacorta has moved less than half fly speed and remained flying, this will be and auto passed DC 10 check with +9 fly, next turn it will be a DC 15 to hover
As Keera moves east and conjures a flame within her hand, Alacorta harasses the sailor blocking the way, drawing blood.
The lady sailor moves around, heading for the monk who 'illegally boarded'.
Club vs prone, PA:1d20 + 3 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 4 - 1 = 20Whack:1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Kenji takes another hit.
Draylan takes a few feet distance before storming for the edge of the docks, hoping to jump and grab the ledge. His armor weighs more than he bargained for, as he come short in distance and drops in the water with a big *splash*.
30ft away there is a shallow part where you can get back on land, marked with a red line circle.
Spots makes a running jump, boarding, he attacks the rude sailor blocking the way by biting into his leg and tripping him.
Lynthara
Sele (posted actions)
Lynthara's up.
If anyone's got a rope, you can help Draylan out on the spot. The water is 6 feet below the docks. Someone dropping prone and extending an arm and making a strength check of DC 13 can pull him up. Otherwise he'll be swimming in chainmail.
I have a feeling Lynthara's KO for a while, nothing in discussion either. I'll bot her turn.
Lynthara moves towards the middle gangplank, the closest one being occupied. She boards with a double move.
Sele takes out a rope to throw to Draylan.
Swim check before you can grab it though.
This act provokes an attack from the prone sailor.
Club from prone:1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16 A miss.

Kenji hits the sailor so hard, his ribs clearly crack and Kenji retracts his gory fist from a messy hole. [igger]FATALITY[/bigger]
Sailor 1Weak, pathetic fool.
Snarl Shoreshackle "*Snarl*..point ear pay for kill..*snarl* underling." Whip to trip:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11, this time the gnoll's aim is poor, as his whip fails to connect with Sele's legs.

Team druid's up. Mind you, you can't see the sailor or gnoll from this angle.

Keera asks Alacorta to continue going against the sailors and moves to have a clear line of sight to the gnoll before launching some fire to him.
Alacorta 5steeps to the plank, lands and attacks the sailor. Autopass fly check
With the steepness and edge of the ship preventing 5ft step, did you start on one of the marked squares? Those are within movement if you're doing an attack against the gnoll.

Spots will move on to the next threat. As he has been trained by Draylan to set up flanking, Spots will run past the gnoll (draws AoO) and attack from the opposite side.
Draylan is a little preoccupied. Free flanking for anyone who wants it!

No, I started in the red dot. So, as the attack is not posible, Keera will double move (Form red dot, to white do, white dot and then going up
With the rope tossed out by Sele, Draylan manages to get out of the water, much to his relief.
I've placed you on the square south of where you were.
Meanwhile, Spots sprints forth to attack the hyena-thing.
AoO, axe to kitty:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22Hurt:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Spots is cut across the flank, but he comes into position.
The thick boots of the gnoll prove too much for any decent hurt. Spots tries a vicious trip with the jaws, but the gnoll remains standing.
Lynthara shoots an arrow at the snarling gnoll, but it flies over his head.
*Awk....splash....*
Sele's sap swoops in front of the gnoll's nose.
------------------------------------------------
Kenji gets up since he's no longer threatened and moves slightly so he's in a position to flank with the cat on his next move... if the spot is still open.

Alacorta, go for the last one! Shouts Keera just before hurling a flame towards the same target.
Keera's flame misses her target.
Alacorta is having only just a bit more luck, as the roc's talon tears a small one in the gnoll's arm.

The flow of combat is shifting, as suddenly the party feels very capable.
Perhaps slaves are praying hard for a rescue?
After Alacorta scraped the gnoll, Spots now manages to off-balance the gnoll. "Redacted gnollish swearing"
With the gnoll prone, Draylan swings down his greatsword hard, but the gnoll is still alive. On top of it, Lynthara shoots an arrow.
...but due to being prone he gets a bonus on AC vs ranged :P, so no hit.
Sele finishes the round with a sap clobber over the nose, which makes the gnoll yelp and snarl at him.
----------------------------------------
And even though the gnoll is on the ground and seemingly easy to hit, Kenji can't seem to connect... obviously he's thrown off by the graphic goriness of his last hit and unwilling to kill another being with such seeming ease.
can't think of another reason why he'd miss so badly twice, lol... this is the dice gods payback for 2 20's in a row I guess.

Keera don´t knows about not lethal, and Keera is armed with fire, so I will be hard to interrogate him
Alacorta continues in his efforts of tearing the hyena man, and Keera goes to help finishing the guy.
To sympathize, the dwarf on the other team drank a CLW potion for 2, which is technically also a base of 1. But they badly need it, they're all hurt and lvl 1.

Yes please, I learned that lesson. If the ceiling is high eneogh Alacorta and I can close the march; he can fly to help where he´s neccesary and I can throw fire or darts
There area about 8 rounds left of Produce flame, if it expires
before why find problems, just let me know
Ok, time for the final fight. The ladder down is 10ft. Flying is not so easy below deck, with much tighter quarters.
Have Alacorta make hover checks if you wish her to 'fly', otherwise she'll use land movement.
Act 5: Into the belly of the beast. Chained the length of the ship, two to a bench, are 50 filth-encrusted oar slaves bleeding from lacerations and open sores and slumped in sleep or exhaustion. The benches form a five-foot-wide aisle down the center of the galley, constricting movement in all but three areas: a 10-foot diameter around the main mast, slightly fore of midship, and the extreme ends of the galley which hold rooms.
A snarling & growling, however, makes Sele turn his head around.
Sele:
You see a gnoll...and Pildapush, in the far end. The gnoll looks more savage and cruel than the one you've fought on deck.
