"Cap'n - I believe you stowed your potion in your pouch when we were on the ship. I can understand you not remembering, because of your excitement of getting back to m'lady."
Markizio nodded, "Good head on those shoulders, Ghilda."
He then added, "And I don't think we're going underwater just yet. Right now, I'd like to examine the attack site, which I understood to be somewhere here on the Rock."
Marnir looks in his hip pouch for a second before looking up, his face reddening behind his beard. "So I did." He nods at Markizio. "Good plan. Let's take a look."
Kung smirks at his captain. "All business, no romance, huh?"
He joins the expedition to the attack site, ensuring that the captain of the guard properly bars the entrance to The Rock behind them.
The Lady of the rock assures that this is the first time they have ever had problems with Sahaugin. The attack was a complete surprise.
A guard escorts you to where the Goat herder was attacked, just off the shore, where scrub and some grasses grow to feed the animals.
When you arrive and are investigating the signs of battle 6 Sahaugin emerge menacingly from the surf and advance of you.
Do you guys want some cover?" Jane asks as she prepares to cast a spell.
Markizio was not expecting this; he didn't want to fight in his new shirt.
"At least they are fighting in our turf."
He looked at where his companions where and exclaimed, "The captain and I will take the ones on the right."
He looked to the left, "Kung, don't let the ones on the left attack us from behind!"
"C'mon, captain."
He then enveloped his blade in fire, moved forward, and sent two greenish missiles from his hands.

Ghilda, slightly startled by the appearance of the sahuagin, collects herself. She stays by LJ and Kung, while Markizio advances a bit and launches his arcane missile at one of the monsters. Ghilda summons energy from the Pirate Queen, and casts Bless. "Grant us courage, Besmara!" An aura of light emanates from Ghilda's holy symbol and bathes the party.

Kung answers Jane. "Cover good, yes cover."
His peg-leg starts working a rhythm in the sand, making no noise in the soft ground but churning a curious divot that when examined later reveals an intricate, symmetrical pattern. He charges forward towards the left-most sahaugin.
Pointing at his target, he yells as he runs through the sand. "You not come behind 'cause Kung bash you front first!"

Not what I had in mind but I love it!
Seeing as how Kung will easily take out that guy, Jane decides to give him the cover. She moves up behind him and casts obscuring mist.
As the sahuagin rise from the surf Marnir pulls his axe from his belt, before he begins drawing arcane sigils in the air. His form shimmers and he disappears from sight.
Sahaugins attack: All go into Rage.

The party may now attack again.
Marnir waits silently for the fishmen to approach. They mob Markizio and as one rushes past Marnir slices at him with his axe, revealing himself in the process.
With his position revealed and Markizio bleeding profusely Marnir lays into the hated fishmen, his enchanted blade slicing through the air. "Markizio, are you alright?" he calls over the enraged howls of the fishmen.
Jane sees the two things attack Kung, "Drink." she commands as she pushes a potion into his mouth and tips it up.
Once she is done feeding him the potion, she'll step back as he starts to grow bigger as the enlarge person potion takes effect.
"Markizio, are you alright?" he calls over the enraged howls of the fishmen.
No, Markizio was not alright but he was still up and fighting and glad that someone had his back.
He sliced with his blade even as he cast another spell. discharging electricity into a fishman.
He sighed as his shirt was covered in blood, "I will be captain. I will be."

Kung's eyes light up as the fog rises around him, as he knows he can see just as well as ever. He sees the truth of his advantage when the enemies' strikes go wide as they lose sight of him in the swirling mist.
Jane feeds Kung an extract, and his body instinctively attempts to resist the effects.
The furious half-orc takes another swing at the fish-man in front of him, hoping to lay it down quickly.

Ghilda finds herself one-on-one with a really big sahuagin while Jane and Kung are enveloped in mist. She sees the captain briefly disappear, but reappear to attack an enemy, and then Markizio take some damage but dish it out too. Ghilda mutters, "You and me - let's do this," and attacks the sahuagin with her rapier. Her lunge lands hard, and may have hit an important internal organ.

Markizio's bravado was grossly over estimated as the sahaugin's trident sneaks past his armor and punctures his liver.
With his shirt thoroughly ruined, the magus drops his blade and falls to the sand, a confused look in face.

Marnir sees the fishman lunge at Markizio but is too late to cry out a warning. He sees the bosun impaled before he slumps to the floor, blood soaking into his fancy clothes. "You fishy bastards!" Marnir shouts, stepping up to the nearest to enact his vengeance.
"Ghilda, could do with some help over here!" Marnir calls as the fishman ducks his swing.

Another thrust from the enemy trident pierces Ghilda, but she remains standing and fighting. "Coming, captain! Now you, stay still - Besmara commands it" Ghilda casts Hold Person on the sahuagin she is dueling with.

Leaving the ungrateful Kung to fight the last foe, have moves 30 feet to the right, out of the fog. Looking around she sees that her Captain is down and Ghilda rushing towards him.
Raising her hand, she shoots out a web to envelop the Teal foe.
The half-orc howls with glee as the fish-man falls at his feet. He shifts his attention to its companion, and brings his greatsword down on the creature with furious enthusiasm.

5 damage splash, DC 14 Reflex
Marnir grunts in pain as the fishman's trident scores a deep furrow down his left bicep, causing blood to flood down his arm. He feints a blow at the creature's head, before trying to bring his axe down inside the thing's guard.

Ghilda's anger grows as her spell fails to hold the monster, and she gets even more pissed when he lands a blow on her after she moves to help Markizio. Ghilda moves five feet to be adjacent to Markizio, and spontaneously casts Cure Serious Wounds on him. Markizio's eyes blink open as Besmara's healing energy washes through him.

"Good to see you first mate!" Marnir calls at Ghilda as he ducks a wild stab from the fishman's trident. "Now let's finish these fishy freaks!"
Having the creature come right up onto her, Jane skates the fog and tosses a bomb at him.
5 damage splash, DC 14 Reflex
Gasping for air, still badly hurt, and with the battle raging on, the magus woke.
And from that prone position called upon magic to save the day. Hot, yellow flames issued from his outstretched fingers.
He tried to make light of his dire situation, "How about some fish fry captain?"

Marnir Hits Pink and he looks the much worse for wear.
Ghilda Steps up and neatly puts a nasty hole in Teal.
Markizio Gesture discretely from his prone position and searing flames erupt from his hand to engulf the two Sahaugin fighting his crew mates.
Pink Fails.
Teal Fails.
Lost in their bloody rage both Sahaugin are completely blindsided by the sudden attack form a downed foe. [b]Pink[/] is still staggering from his wounds and his bloods sizzles as he falls over dead.
Two Sahaugin left, both bleeding from wounds.
The Sahaugin attack with their sharklike blood frenzy.
Red Moves up to where the bomb came from and attacks Jane.
Missing.
Teal has a target rich environment and chooses to respond to Ghilda's wounding him.
Missing.
The party can now respond.
A whoosh of air like that from a furnace rushes past Marnir as a gout of flame envelops the two fishmen in front of him. He flinches from the intense heat which dies away as quickly as it appears. "Bit of warning next time Markizio?" he jokes as he sees Ghilda jab at the last remaining fishman. Standing his ground to protect the still-prone bosun, Marnir snarls at the fishman before lunging towards it with a decapitating stroke.
Markizio gets up spitting sand. Seeing only one fishman left, he quickly recalls one of his favorite spells.
"Watch him dance captain!"
He then steps up and places his hand on the scaly skin of the creature releasing a strong electrical shock.

The half-orc howls and screams as he fells his second fish-man. He casts around in the fog looking for another to fight. Not seeing any more in his immediate vicinity, he starts heading out of the mist looking for more battle. He finds Jane engaged in combat with another.

Ghilda chuckles at her colleagues' witty repartees, and dodges the fishman's strike. As flames and electricity and magic engulf the enemy, Ghilda strikes again with her rapier. "Die now, or leave our island."

Jane stands there, looking around for a new foe.
The Teal Sahaugin staggers back from Marnir's blow, right into Markizio's nasty party trick. Jittering away from that right onto Ghilda's sharp point. This renders him very dead.
The Red Sahaugin, still melting from Jane's bombs is glaring at her when Kung looms out of the fog, his face having just enough time to show an Oh s!#&! look before Kung splatters him over the beach.
All enemies dead.
Perception checks from everyone please DC15.
You notice several ripples in the waters further out, as if someone was watching and has now swum away rapidly.
Marnir flicks the fishman blood from the blade of his axe as the last creature falls. He clips the weapon on his belt and looks out to sea, where a flurry of ripples catches his eye. "Looks like someone was watching us. Maybe more fishmen," he says, pointing out at the water.
He flexes his injured left arm experimentally, wincing at the pain. "Looks like we could use your goddess' help, first mate," he says to Ghilda.
He turns to Markizio. "Good to see you upright. Shame about your nice shirt though."
