Johann speaks in his parseltongue voice! "Ssss....sssSS... thissss!"" Zag, pull on my new crab claw... this weapon will enable you to move freely in the water...!
Johann swims toward the sharks and sahaugin on the right! Surely, if any of his teammates don't want to be pulled along, they had better let go now!
Johann gets within 10 feet of a sharks and bites!

Cobra Johann's deadly fangs pierce the nearest tiger shark deeply, killing it almost instantly!
As a sahuagin attempts to swim in close enough to stab the deadly serpent with its trident, Cobra Johann lashes out and strikes it lifeless!
A second shark comes within Cobra Johann's superior reach, and he strikes again, rendering this one lifeless and belly up as well ...
A second sahuagin gets too close, and *SNAP!!* the jaws of Cobra Johann decapitate the sea devil in one bite !
Fox takes in the situation and ponders briefly...
Hmmm... Should I try my mystic bolts underwater? What if I electrocute us all!? Better try a different tactic...
Thinking better of using his favorite electricity bolts in the water, Fox instead casts grease on one of the approaching sahuagin's tridents, hoping to make the sea devil fumble the slippery weapon...

In spite of Fox's grease spell lubricating the trident, the sahuagin keeps a firm grip on the weapon...
Within the first dozen seconds of the battle, Cobra Johann has struck down two of twelve sahuagin and two of six tiger sharks, leaving ten sahuagin and four sharks!
Zagathoth claims the dagger, as instructed, and settles into a fighting stance . Drawing back a fist to strike the first thing to try attacking him, he calls out, ”glurgug, glubrub glug!”

Armed with Crabpincer, Zagathoth the Dragonslayer fights freely, unrestricted by the water around him, and as a shark ignores his warning and darts in to bite him, the mighty orc dragon-punches its nose, crushing its cartilage and knocking it senseless!
One of three remaining sharks attacks Zagathoth! Bite misses! *SNAP!!*
Another tries to bite Cobra Johann! Bite fails to penetrate his scaly hide!
The other strikes at Mwikali's summoned water elemental! Bite misses! *CHOMP!!*
Fearfully huddled around the wreck of the Alanqilis, the ten Spanish sailors take defensive stances with their cutlasses or short swords, trembling and praying in Spanish to the Virgin Mother...
Seeing no reason why his drumming shouldn't work underwater, Algoral starts up an inspiring rhythm.
And then prepares to duck and dodge away from danger if necessary (Full Defense)
Mwikali looks to her elemental and points to the sailors."Blurrg slurrp burble"
Mwikali then grips her spear and readies herself by grabbing a rope. with another incantation, she begins to cast."blessed to the toiler who wove you, plucked you meticulously to form loose fibers into ma might rope. let the dedication fo those hands bring forth the life within!"She coaxes the former magical rope to life and smiles as she has a new weapon to command against the oncoming fish men.
Ihrin up for a challenge pushes off the ground and seeks to attack the first creature she comes too. A trident baring fish man. With steeled eyes, she thrusts forward with her blade seeking to stab hard while bringing her other dagger up to guard herself form the thrust.

Apparently "resurrected" by Mwikali's tatterdemalion witchcraft, the magical talking rope springs to life once again!
In German: Yay!! I'm alive again! Many thanks, Mwikali!
The magical intelligent rope of climbing and entanglement slithers toward the witch's aquatic foes...

Ihrin's blade finds its mark in the sahuagin's chest! It hisses as crimson blood clouds the water...
Far away in the Balkans, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Murad II leads his Turkish army in victory after victory over the forces of the Byzantine Empire, conquering vast swaths of territory... Yet the fortified metropolis of Constantinople resisted the Turks, who even now were a decade into a lengthy siege of the well-defended capital and final bastion of the Byzantine Empire...
Meditating in a regal field tent redolent of burning frankincense and myrrh on the plain outside the besieged walls of Constantinople, the Sultan of the Ottoman Turks contemplates his recent victories and future goals...
Even as these lesser cities fall before me, so shall proud Constantinople also fall! I shall capture the defiant citadel of the infidels, force them to accept Islam, behead those who will not convert, and make the fortress-city my new capital! So long as it be Allah's will...
In the Carpathian Mountains of Wallachia, Prince Vlad II the Dragon and his loyal Romani warriors wage a crusade against the Turks, fighting with courage and cunning to retake the forested realm for the Church...
Recently forced to send his young son, Vlad III Dracula, to live as a hostage in the court of Sultan Murad II, the Dragon Prince of Wallachia burns with hatred for the Turks, and a desire for revenge that his son will inherit, leading him to earn the title "The Impaler" a couple of decades in the future...
Foreshadowing the monstrous sadism of his son Dracula, the Dragon vents his wrath that Sunday afternoon by listenjng to a captured Turkish spy scream in terror as Romani warriors shovel dirt onto the pine coffin he has been nailed into, burying him alive...

Habiba aims to conserve her more powerful magic for the foes that require it (and is not much of a combatant in any case). She experimentally sends a weak mental probe at one of the Sahuagin to test their mental defenses.
Smelling blood in the water from their two fellows and three pet sharks struck lifeless by Cobra Johann and Zagathoth, the remaining ten sahuagin form a trident phalanx and advance carefully and menacingly through the water toward the great cobra and his allies...

Seemingly stunned by a mental slap in the face, the sahuagin hisses in anguish!

THEN ROUND 2!
EEEK! OOH OOH OOH AH AH AHHH!!
Within the first six seconds of combat, the water is already clouded with the blood of sahuagin and sharks!
As they make there way back from Africa, Lord P spends a lot of time with Algoral. His Fey companion, his suspicions and been put to rest and now the pear of them where as thick as thieves. Often seen talking to each other in privet and in a language unknown to most mortals.
Then the day before they meet the Price.
"Well Algoral, soon we are to meet Prince Henry of Portugal. I think we should give you a more formal role for our king. Your wondering days are over my friends . I appoint your Herod to the court of the never ending dance. A role I think your musical skills will aid you with. So when we meet anyone of note, please introduce us."
Then as they meet the prince, the 1' fey waits as he is introduced.
Turning to Lord Perpireen, Prince Henry bows and grins at the little sprite.
Thank you, Lord Perpireen McGibel of the Seelie Court, for your brave service in the field with the wily Desert Jackals! I eagerly await a full account of your adventures, once time and circumstances permit, of course... Perhaps your musical kinsman Algoral can facilitate a concise telling of the tale for my court some day?
Lord Perpireen McGibel bowed at the Prince and then said
"My Herod my lord was indeed late to the fight your highness, but never the less did his part. As for telling you our adventures, I would be more than willing to. I will tell you of the undead tombs and the desert lizard men whom now work in your service."
He chuckled.
"But to other matters my lord Prince, My king, the master of the fey lands and King under the Hill, sends his greetings great prince. He has communications that would best be delivered in privet counsel. Say once this fine event has ended."
Once the meal was over he spent some time talking to the prince in privet about state matters.
Lord P spends some time trying to keep his companion Algoral from being sea sick. By the second day he seems to be feeling better.
But he himself is nowhere to be seen that day until ship is sinking.
As the boat starts to sink Lord P is there again, grabs the potions downing one and placing the others in one of his magic pouches.
As he sees the city below.
"I wounder of that shops still there?"
Before anyone can ask him about this comment. Water comes to throw them off the ship.
Lord P seems to fly under the water with ease. Being a fey this is not really a problem. As he has years with the lady of the lake and knew well the sunken bright ways.
As the battle starts lord P cast unnatural-lust on one of the tiger sharks[/url]
He seems to be chuckling as he dose so.

Alexei intones a word of protection over himself, in the primal language of creation.
Enchanted by the sprite Lord's fey charm, a tiger shark swims over the shark beside it and begins to court and attempt to mate!

Accepting Sir Landry's fealty Cardinal Borgia enjoins him to swear the oath of loyalty to the Pope and His Holy Church before bidding the Templar rise.
Soon after, with Zagathoth's permission and participation, Sir Landry is invested with the armor and shield of King Richard and appointed The Shield of Marrakesh, Guardian of the Arena and Preserver of the Hareem. (The new Emir insisted on the final title).
With Marrakesh in safely christian hands the Cardinal sends a short message to Pope Eugenus, informing him of the circumstances.
"Marrakesh freed, Zagathoth new Emir by conquest. We return with new friends. Steward of Marrakesh is named Landry, sworn to mine and Church's service."
A second spell follows minutes later.
"Emir and Steward request protection from Holy Church, please announce widely to prevent Christian depredations. Portugal and Spain most important!"
----------------------------
The Cardinal bows to the Portuguese prince, before offering his Cardinal's ring. "An honour your Highness. Marrakesh has been freed and has sworn allegiance to Holy Church, praise be to God!"
Don't try any games. is the message that the prince of the Church conveys silently to his secular counterpart. I have played these games far longer than you.

Lucius manages the sickness well, and offers a small blessing to those who seem particularly effected by it.

Riding Johann in cobra form definitely qualifies as a new experience for the man of God and, as combat nears, he draws on God's magic to aid his companions.
Ihrin laughs as she twists shooting her second hand out stabbing hard into the Fishman's flesh, followed by another strike seeking the bloody the water more!

Mwikali casts Mage Armor on herself.
"Blessed Mother wrap me in the threads of your divine cloth to enshroud and protect me!" She says casting her spell letting a shimmering shield of force around her as she activates her ring and smiles.
"Weave defend me, Make sure any enemy that comes my way is thoroughly wrapped up. I swear by the Spirits Mighty Busom that I will re-enchant you until then we must fight to survive!"

Having taken a liking to the Irish Farewell cape of the mountebank while donning it as a raincoat during the past two stormy days at sea, Ogon Fox happens to be wearing the magic cloak, and gets a sudden idea...
I know! I'll use the Irish Farewell to surprise these fish-men! I'll just dimension door to the other side of their phalanx and flank with Johann...
*BAMF!!*?
Fox activates the cursed cape of the mountebank, awakening its evil intelligence and its curse! For the first time it is activated by a new wearer, instead of letting the user dimension door as usual, it teleports the wearer to the worst possible place at the worst possible time!
The unwitting Ogon Fox is teleported far from here, to the worst place he could possibly be--In the court of the Shogun who seeks the Fox's head--at the worst possible time--while the Shogun is fully armed and armored, is present in the court, and is accompanied by his deadly samurai bodyguards!
Algoral doesn’t blame the Fox for teleporting away, presumably to some where dryer.
