Zeex tries to tumble through and past the hulking longshanks blocking his way...and make a mad dash for the stairs..
"Through you, over you, or past your unconscious form? I am willing to provide any and all of those options."
K'Wai slips a small vial from his pouch and downs the liquid within, before slipping his backpack with the crossbow attached and his spear to the ground.
"Or, you know, man, like just step aside and let us through. We did just, like, win this race, right? Wouldn't your captain be happy to have us on board, man?"
Drinking a potion of mage armor, then losing my backpack and weapons save the dagger. Not that I'll need that, anyways.
"But, like, if you wanna fight, then, I guess we can fight, man."
Taking a firm fighting stance, K'Wai brings his hands up and readies to tussle.
As Zeex dashes past the two half orcs they extend there arms to snatch the goblin but to no avail. He quickly dodges their outstretched arms and strides up the stairs. 'Blasted Goblin,"Huldren shouts as he watches Zeex nimbly dodge his henchmen and escape. He quickly turns back to K'wai and points towards the hardened pit located in the center of the floor, "Hold on little blue man, we have a place to handle matters such as this, step in if you think you are strong enough, we don't kill in these fights, but I will knock you senseless." He unlatches some of the ropes and motions for you to enter. "After you," he gives you a crooked smile.
Zeex
As you crest the top of the stairs you see a man sitting at a table, half asleep with a bottle in his lap, he is startled by your appearance, Ah you one of them racers ain' you. You got here first, a goblin, well sorry to say I do enjoy me a good fight every once in a while, why don't you scamper on back down them stairs land rat, and beat up Huldren, so I can tell if you really do be deserving a spot on the crew."
"He say 'You get by me, you win'! Me get past him... Me win! Let Zeex pass! And me no land rat, old man!"
"Go on, Zeex. Like, these fellows just want to learn how to get punched and stuff. I'll be up there in like no time. Maybe ask our new boss to come down and see this little bout? He might, like, wanna see what we can all do."
K'Wai bows to the big man, slipping another vial out of his pouch and palming it.
sleight of hand
He takes up a defensive position, ready for a 3-on-1 fight if that's what it takes.
Rikkvar shakes off the river water and says, "Well, you've got me on muscle. Remember when your mother said, 'Don't touch that! You don't know where it's been'? She was talking about me. I suggest you let me pass. It'll hurt you less." He then starts slowly walking forward to the stairs, with a big old grin on his face.
The two half orcs step into the pit and draw wooden saps, Huldren stands waiting. As Rikkivar walks past Huldren notes the toxins covering his body and stands clear.
Zeex sticks his tongue out at the old man, "You old and stoopid." he says as a parting insult.
He walks downstairs, drawing his scimitar as he descends. "No be afraid, K'wai.. me here to save you!" he says bravely. He hops into the pit and stands by the undine's side, brandishing his little blade.
Huldren notices Zeex as he descends and sees the flash of light from his steel, "Careful little goblin I don't want to have to get rough with you but I will if you make things bloody." He turns to K'wai, "Nice potion you got their, I have one of those as well," He pulls out a small vial, downs it and steps into the pit. "I don't got all day, I will take you all on," he says menacingly as he gets in a fighting stance.
"Fine, fine, like, it's a free country man. Drink what you like, and I'll do the same."
Seeing his recent crewmates enter the room, K'Wai feels a little more at ease.
"Like, have at you, then, man."
K'Wai steps into the ring and immediately prepares to kick some fools in the head.

Zeex you are up first
Rikki will climb down and begin to move around the edge. He stands ready to attack anybody that attacks him. For now, he's using their reticence to attack him to manipulate the battlefield.
Zeex takes the initiative and moves up to Huldren and the half-0rc on the left, and attacking the half-orc with his scimitar, though only using the flat of the blade...
Underfoot Assault (Ex): At 1st level, if a foe whose size is larger than the mouser’s is adjacent to her and misses her with a melee attack, the mouser can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet into an area of the attacker’s space. This movement does not count against the mouser’s movement the next round, and it doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. While the mouser is within a foe’s space, she is considered to occupy her square within that foe’s space.
While the mouser is within her foe’s space, the foe takes a –4 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks not made against the mouser, and all of the mouser’s allies that are adjacent to both the foe and the mouser are considered to be flanking the foe. The mouser is considered to be flanking the foe whose space she is within if she is adjacent to an ally who is also adjacent to the foe. The mouser can move within her foe’s space and leave the foe’s space unhindered and without provoking attacks of opportunity, but if the foe attempts to move to a position where the mouser is no longer in its space, the movement provokes an attack of opportunity from the mouser. This deed replaces opportune parry and riposte.
Morgana you are up
Carl stumbles backwards momentarily shaken by the blow delivered by Zeex. "Stupid goblin I will make you pay for that," he shouts as he recovers and attempts to grab Zeex. He firmly wraps his arms around the little Goblin holding him in place.
"Wrestling a goblin?! I've never seen such skill and bravery!" he calls out derisively as he drinks one of his concoctions. He spits it at the far half-orc.
Zeex squawks in surprise when he's grabbed and bites at the hands holding him...
"Lemme go... bad green longshanks... " *bite* *bite *wiggle* *bite*
"Like, who uses a weapon in a fistfight? I mean, we're like, in a bar, and bar fights are supposed to be with your hands. Like, that's not cool, man, that's way too aggressive for a race, ya'know."
K'Wai waits for his opening to lash out and wallop one of the guys.
"I don't really know how to fight... I'm a navigator not a tavern brawler!"
Surely there is more to piracy than brute force?
She pounders, before summoning a Viper into the pit.
Huldren looks over at the goblin squirming in Carl's hands, "Firm grip ain't it" he turns to K'wai and charges at him swinging with his sap. He looks dumbfounded as his sap is redirected by some unseen force. Darryl yells out and grimaces at you inspiring intimidation, he then moves next to you and bares his fist.
"Me think grip be all he gotz firm!"
"Like, you've fallen right into my trap, man. Now I can, like, hit both of you like this!"
K'Wai unleashes a wave of strikes and maneuvers, going for a gut punch on the sap wielding bravo and an elbow smash on the boss fellow.
to hit; DC 16 fort or stunned on sap dude. bludgeoning damage
to hit; bludgeoning damage on boss man
As you swing your fear causes you to mistime your blows as both whistle by the two fighters, You are going to have to try better than that," chuckles Huldren as he dodges the elbow.
Zeex wriggles til he can bring his scimitar up to slice upwards into Carl, though at the last moment, he turns the blade so it does not actually cut him, just bruise him.
"Let... Zeex.... GO!"
To add insult to injure he bites him again, [ooc]though again, since he has no bite attack, that's just fluff[/oioc]
Zeex finds his position awkward as he can't seem to get his arm to wear he can swing effectively, his attempt ends in a light tap. He grips you firmer with his left as he hits you quickly with his right.
Rikkivar unloads a spit bomb on Darryl as he struggles to move he curses you, Stupid Rat he struggles against the adhesive but to no avail.
Morgana looks at the scene in front of her, at the Viper (whom she is certain is about to get stepped on and die), at her crossbow No chance of non-lethal there thinks about getting out her shortspear before shaking her head.
I do not want to get in that ring...
"Look out for the snake! Its bite is poisonous!"
She begins to cast Enthrall, but disguises at an attempt to be a peacekeeper by talking about her mysterious homeland.
"They are common in my homeland, so anti-venom is readily available. Just don't move to suddenly."
I am so sorry, little friend, I wasn't thinking. I hope they kill you quickly
Darryl strains at the adhesive spittle trying to free himself but to no avail, he is no match for the strength of the bonds. He stands their panting as Huldren renews his attack on K'wai hoping to power through his unseen forcefield. As he brings it down he manages to find a gap as his blow hits home.
"Gah! You hit me with a stick! Like, man, that is really uncool!"
K'Wai returns the strike twice over, stunning fist attempt on the first one.
to hit, for bludgeoning damage. DC 16 Fort or be stunned x1 round
to hit, for bludgeoning damage
Seeing as everyone is ignoring her, her spell fails.
The snake moves towards Huldren and lashes out with its fangs, it manages to latch on to his ankle distracting him from the blow K'wai delivers. As your fist lands on Huldren you put a little more into it as he falls to the ground stunned at the force. You then precede to hit him again landing a blow on his back.
Rikki will draw his bow, breaking off the arrowhead as he pulls back. He's targeting the one holding Zeex.
