Pip will make another persona for the Hellwind's entrance. Halfling, but with scars, tattoos and a long fu-manchu moustache.
"Jes' call me Stubbs." He leers as he stumps about the Hellwind's deck
"Hey, Guitar Boy, you still look like big nancy."
"Oooooh - him ill-oo-shan. Maybe him hide around here somewhere."
Gittik can hear in the biiiiiigest of the four buildings, the second building down from the northernmost one on the map, the one from i-r 10-19, chanting and incanting, and all sorts of people mumbling, sounding like they're trying to keep it down.
Seeing Beldan's action illuded, Oso casts his most powerful spell at the disembodied spellcasting aristocrat.
Yeah; the phantom wizzer is still there.
I'll place Oso at e23 on the Hellwind.
Elgan-Osprey, seeing Beldan's sudden windmilling of arms as he attempts to keep from going over the edge since he didn't run into anything, Sweeps his keen bird-eyes over the area, looking for culprit,...
Pip strikes up a sea chanty
"Oh sit right back
and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That one aristo wizard took
to threaten our fair ship
The aristo was a castin' man
His tricks were fast and clean
But he knew not who he cast against
A crew deadly an' mean
A crew deadly an' mean
The wizard'll regret this day for sure
The Hellwind has his mark
For when were done we'll feed his bones
To all the passing sharks!
To all the passing sharks!"

Naught but a lot of drunken pirates dappled here and there, starting to rise and take a whiz in the lagoon, or check out what all the commotion is abaft.
I guess I'll put Pip at e24 next to Oso; Elgan at e16, in flight, above water.
Need a position on Gittik, Riese, and Stigmeister...
"They in big building - over there!" Gittik points.

I think Riese was manning the other ship (weren't we short of sailors or something?). What is going on with it, are we pulling up one ship or both to the docks? If not just assume he is at the wheel of this ship.
Riese is at D29;
small update (I know we had a loooong bunch of posts for a while there....)
the other ship is back at the river delta with the invasion force; they decided to take the Hellwind in, for intimidation purposes, and the other ship might be made.
Somebody wanna position Stiggy? He hasn't been around for a few days; he got an unfortunate incident IRL and might be feeling kinda poorly...
Somebody wanna position Stiggy?
heh heh...
I got Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary.
Yerrrrrsh. I love's me some Half Price Books.
Well....I'll see if kruely shows up tonight; if not I'll say Stiggy's passed out in the bilge until he shows up.
I'll modify things a little bit when I get home tonight and get it rolling, unless I get called in to my other job right away.
right on; I got called in to the other job, so....I might post again in like....5 hours.....sorry.

Here I go....
Stiggy's passed out down below; whenever he shows up he can come forward from the door at b27.
First,....you can hear somebody who sounds like the illusionary wizard who accosted you casting a spell from up on the roof of the big building, around square I or J 19.
The front and mid of the ship is spattered with an ice storm. Gittik, Altai, Pip, and Oso take 8 h.p. or cold and 10 h.p. of bludgeoning damage.
From near the roof, out of a hole in the wall under the thatching, at about I15, a small...man or gnome, dark skinned ,with bat's wings flies out. He carries a warhammer in one hand and a kukri in the other. Small fetishes adorn his dreadlocked beard.
Oso knows him to be one of the kongamato bat people, from the Screaming Swamp of Kumboula, in Hepmonaland.
He flies to f15, and swipes at Elganhawk with his warhammer.
From the door at hi 11, an 8 foot tall man, or half man half cactus, emerges; he moves to gh 15-16 and fires a bow at Gittik. Gittik takes 6 in damage from the 4 foot long arrow.
From the door at hi 13, another mul, though this one is young, wearing studded leather, and foaming at the mouth. He brings his greatsword at Beldan, moving to g21.
He swings, and hits Beldan; the hapless rogue takes 15 h.p. in damage.
He can see the bald mul is covered from head to toe in Suel staverunes....he is a former slave, and a living sutra of their vile beliefs.
A giant owl comes into existence; jet black feathers and red eyes...it pops there in front of Pip and Oso, at fg 24-25. It claws the cleric; an misses....
and with that it's round 2.
Player characters' attacks.
Beldan pitches off the side of the wharf, grabs onto the timbers at the edge as he falls and swings himself under the wharf, grabbing onto the substructure.
He quickly finds a spot to perch himself on the rotting timbers supporting the wharf and does his best to hide himself away from prying eyes as he plans his next step.
Right on; you're still at G22, though under the wharf in the support beams. It's a good 7 feet or so down to the frothy yeasty portside swillbroth below. You see a rat; it squeaks it's impertinence at you and scrambles away.
The mul takes a half-hearted swing at you; though your lightning quick move makes it a futile effort.
Huzzah!
Shaking haulstones and frost out of his beard, Altai jogs up on the forecastle. After determining the best target spot, he quickly casts a spell; a small mote of fire suddenly blooms into a huge fiery gout and envelops the odd band of enemies. I wonder if the cactuary is flammable, he wonders as he prepares a new spell.
"Eh, me get shot by cactus. Now me see everything."
Oso steps back from the ice storm and casts Kelanen's spell of grace and speed on the halfling rottweiler or on himself otherwise.
"You want to savage a wizard, Gittik."
"We is about to get fragged by that wizard if we don't kill him quick."
EDIT; "dats batpeople sign, he is kongamato from my jungle. His tribe a bunch of pussies!"
Surprised at being attacked by a bat-man, Elgan is almost skewered when the person first flaps up to meet him. But his natural survival instincts kick in and he dodges the blow. Screeching in rage, Elganhawk flaps up a few feet, then dives at the batman,...
To Hit: 1d20+6=26, Dmg:1d6+3=7
Confirm Crit:1d20+6=23, Confirmed, Dmg:1d6+3=7
Elganhawk's claws and beak tears furiously at the flying interloper, knowing he needs to provide cover from the enemy caster.

None of them drop, but some are pretty hurt. The mul reflexed well...the kongamato batman doesn't look like fire affects him like other folk, but he DID take a pretty heinous blast; his beard is singed off.
The outside of the lower west wall of the building is starting up on fire.

Elgan gives him a good talon; slashing his face and neck up. He's still up and flapping.
Oso steps back from the ice storm and casts Kelanen's spell of grace and speed on the halfling rottweiler or on himself otherwise.

Guess just waiting to see who wants to fly...
Gittik misses; however the f#+%er is screeching in fear. It would make one feel embarrassed or sad for the Merovanchi if he wasn't such a dick, and if that somebody wasn't Gittik.
I take it roll high to miss is the 50% concealment; 1-3 hits and 4-6 misses; I'm sorry; I worked til 10 p.m. last night then slept 4.5 hours, so I'm just making sure I know what I'm talking about.I'm endeavoring for no metaphysical cockups with this one.
Pip, Riese;
Stiggy if he showsup...

The outside of the lower west wall of the building is starting up on fire.
"Fire two! Imbelia Pyrrok de'flar!!" Riese detonates another blast in roughly the same spot, adjusting as necessary to avoid his companions.
Fireball 8d6=35, DC 19 reflex for half.
You can pop it off before Gittik's action; he's not affected.
Gittik can't hear that guy anymore up there, all screaming.
THe cactus man flops to the dock in a crispy mess.
The kongamato is still up; the fire is damaging him. A lot.
And...the mul reflexes again. He's metaphysically rope-a-doping you lot...I guess.....
Waiting on Pip.
Cactus man down; Merovanchi silent...
The necessary Pip fugue, since he says he's suffering from acute RLitis.
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great balls of fire
THe cactus man flops to the dock in a crispy mess.
And...the mul reflexes again. He's metaphysically rope-a-doping you lot...
He was flammable, I guess... Satisfied that the cactoid is down, Alwyn turns his attention to the frothy half-dwarf.
The mul looks injured by it. He looks....like a guy that rolled two high reflex rolls, and has a good bonus; I guess he hunkered down real well and just got his back crispy instead of taking two fireballs in the face for max damage.
I guess he doesn't look like a scion of deviltry who gets sunburned when others get third degree burns and blistered.
Pip finishes up his Bon Scott impersination
" ..and I'm just ITCHING to tell you about them .."
Pip, Riese;
Stiggy if he showsup...

You can, but he's not really making any noises at the moment. It's up to you.
(edit) he was screaming like a ninny, then nothing...
Pip, Riese;
Stiggy if he showsup...
That's cool. I hope you're okay, man. I was scared for a while there.
