Munir barks in frustration as he’s held up by one of the pirate defenders, and in turn holds up Nathan below him. Thinking of naught but the blinding glory of the sun, the gnoll lets out a war-howl and tries to push past the repeller’s blows.
”AROOoooOOOoooOWR!”
while climbing.
Holding the rope in one hand, he stretches the other to the sun and summons another blast of searing-hot wind, this time at the confounding pirate above himself.
Out of immediate danger, Oreana concentrates on the life giving aspect of the ocean and her natural connection to the waters. A tiny gob of water appears on the palm of her hand and soon explodes in thousands of droplets. She can quickly feel it healing some of her wounds.
Biligup dives out of the way of the pirate's attack, smashing hard into the railing for a moment with a grunt.
"That was close! We need to be faster than that if we're going to survive." His comrades were waiting down below and he needed to get past this man in order to help the others. Lashing out with his rapier again, he sought to bring the pirate down.
= 1 damage
Keeping himself from afar, the cecaelia shoots another of his crossbow bolts. While he reckons they're not doing much difference on the overall picture, yet he enjoys the privileged position to understand the battlefield, plan and better understand the individual abilities of his companions.
Round 4
Shad pulls the sailor into the water easily.
The shipmate can do little else but try to stay above water inside Shad's grasp.
Grin and Barrett make it safely to the top of the ship.
Biligup easily tags the bruiser with his rapier piercing beneath the hide armor.
The pirate sailor near Markus slashes and drops the merchant crewmember near him!
The boarding repeller subject to the grease flees, but unsure of the positioning opens himself to attacks.

But Billigup easily turns his blade and responds with a poke to the chest!
Myrsko fires his pistol again, and the weapon jams!
Zeebu fires and hits!
Nathaniel begins to climb, and finds his path blocked by the boarding repeller!

Gaining the deck, Munir draws his longspear and steps up next to Biligup.
Ducking under the gunshot, Markus comes in low on the injured pirate and smacks him with his mace.
Mr.Finley clobbers the pirate's chin with an upward sweep of his weapon, possibly breaking his jaw.
His first battle, and immediately wounded, fear and concern starting to creep into his mind before being soothed by the healing magic that washed over him. Ganymedes steadies himself before once again lashing out at the pirate next to him.
"Kill these pirate scum!"
Round 4
As the boarding repeller leaves, Ganymeades critically hits him, but then misses when he swings at the next pirate.
Markus steps up and swings, hitting the pirate in front of him and dropping him to the ground.
with the pirates pushed back, Cordellia easily scales the rope to make it to the deck.
On the other ship, Munrir also makes it to the top unmolested.

Grin takes a wild swing with his Nodachi at the pirate in front of him.
He squawks at Barret to flank with him and the gator moves into position.
Round 4:
Looking at Shad after the sailor splashes down in the water, he grins and gestures up to the deck. "Go ahead and join the party. Fang and I should be able to take care of this pirate." He then turns to the struggling swimmer. Calling out to Fang, the orca swimming a short distant behind him, he voices a series of clicks that he had trained with the young mammal to mean attack.
He then brings his shield around to face the pirate, before stabbing at them with the trident in his other hand.
Given the command to attack and with an indicated target, Fang swims up to the struggling swimmer and attempts to bite one of their legs.
Myrsko shoves his pistol back into his bandoleer angrily. Then, he grabs the rope and begins climbing up the ship.
The priest swings just as the repeller moves away, just barely clipping him, unsure if he connected
well enough to hurt.
Mr.Finley makes his way to the other boat, swiping at the pirate that stands in his way. "The other team's still not boarded yet, let's give them a hand!"
Round 5
Nathaniel returns his flailing hand to the water wet rope. The Were-Shark kin then attempts to join the fray.
A bit excited to finally be on the ship, boat, vessel; Nathaniel the Bull rises up in front of Blue, and grins a very shark-looking grin!
I would just dive over board if I were you, my friend.
He shows him the size of his teeth!
Round 4
Oreanna misses with her quick slash, but Markus hits the fleeing pirate.
Heskavar and fang both hit the struggling pirate, who goes limp, bleeding out into the water and sinking.
Round 5
Grin slices the bruiser in front of him, and his croc moves around.
One pirate drops his boarding pike, and moves up to swing at Nathaniel with his drawn falchion:
hit!
The boarding repeller on the south ship withdraws, avoiding attacks to regain the advantage of his reach, while the other who had fleed moves forward and picks up a dagger from a slain merchant.
The spotter fighting Biligup gives a shout of encouragement using his freebooter's bane, then attacks:
But both his attacks fails to catch the nimble swashbuckler!
Myrsko climbs the ship, now unopposed by pirates.
Seeing his intended target gone, Nathaniel bites the falchion wielder who just cut him, and the pirate crumples to the floor from the blow!
Markus slashes at the bruiser blocking the path, hitting the stout man!

Ganymedes takes a 5 foot step and stabs his trident at the pirate directly in before him.
Shad grinned at Heskavar and took the grapple , spinning it a bit and then launching it at the rail
and the hook bounced off the rail and fell back to land in the sea...The Sahuagin cursed in a language that only sharks spoke.
Munir stabs over Biligup's head at the pirate he battles, aiming far too high out of fear of hitting the grippli.
Biligup ducks and dodges under the strikes of the bruiser, parrying blows with his buckler and using his natural ability to adhere to surfaces to his advantage. Munir strikes above his head, aiming just a bit too high but the knowledge of a comrade behind him brings a wicked grin to his face.
"Robbed your last ship, friend. You might want to consider surrendering now and maybe you'll just get a branding!" Billigup shouts before striking out at the bruiser.
Zeebu presses the attack, doing his best with his weapon of choice.
Round 5
Shad fails to hook the grapple to the deck.
Ganymeades critically hits the bruiser standing in front of him, but the stocky man still stands!
Biligup swings and misses.
Zeebu hits the spotter alone on the deck.
The bruiser stabs back at Ganymeades:
But Ganymeades parries the attack, and scores a hit with his riposte!
The other swings at Munrir:
A nasty slash catches Munrir!
Munrir attacks and misses.

Cordelia attempts an Acid Splash technique, trying to force the pirate boarder to suffer the full effects of her acid spell.
Not wishing to enter combat again, Oreanna darts to the captured or down victims of the attack, doing her best to either free them or keep them from dying.
Round 5:
Seeing the man beginning to sink down into the ocean depths, Heskavar swims up to push his head up over the ocean's surface. Looking up at the railings of the ships above, he bares his teeth for a moment as he thinks about having to get up there. Instead of trying to do anything this round, he grabs at a small bone symbol hanging around his neck as he begins muttering and gesturing with his other hand.
Round 5
Heskavar begins summoning, Oreana moves forward and checks on a fallen merchant sailor, and Codrellia fires an errant acid splash.

As the battle rages on aboard the decks of the two ships, at this point you can distinctly hear the clash of saber and swords, and identify that there are pirates engaged in the holds of both ships and in the cabin sections as well!
Biligup dodges and weaves underneath the bruiser's cutlass, trying to keep the enemy focused on him. He is unable to move around the man though, unwilling to let the others circle in upon the gnoll. With a quick parry of his shield, he sees an opening and lunges forward.
= 1 damage minimum.
In a shocking turn of events, Zeebu - yet again - shoots his crossbow.
Shad once again twirls the grapple and tries to secure the rope to the rail on the deck . It barely grabs, and pulling he can feel it grip. So grabs the rope and begins to climb. It is tough going but Shad makes it up 10 feet. Crossbow and Spear both dangling down on woven Kelp lines.
Round 6
Having now tasted the beautiful bouquet of red pirate blood, the Were-Kin Shark pursues Blue!
Hey; you left before I had dessert!
"Get out of my way, sea rat!" Markus growls as he swings his weapon.
His slow mace doesn't quite connect with the agile pirate.
Ganymedes once again thrusts his trident at the pirate standing in front of him
"Die already!"
In a shocking turn of events, Zeebu - yet again - shoots his crossbow.
Myrsko tries climbing the rest of the way up to the ship. At the top, he surveys his surroundings and looks for and weapons near any of the fallen, especially firearms. I was not prepared for this this morning.
Cordelia targets the closest target, before hurling a vial of acid, hoping that she would have some better luck this time.
After doing what she can for the downed sailor, Oreana moves to the next one, trying to help as well.
Round 5
Oreana is able to stabilize the first of the fallen merchants.
Round 6
Shad easily secures the grapple on his second attempt and begins climbing.
Ganymeades final jab does the trick, and the bruiser finally falls!
The shipmate in the black cape moves up to join the bruiser attacking that merchant.
Biligup swings and misses.
The boarding repeller with the dagger steps up and stabs at Markus:
hit!
the Spotter rushes out of the fog.
The spotter fighting biligup full attacks again:
Though the swashbuckler easily turns aside the first blow, the hand axe manages a deep cut!
Myrkso reaches the top, he sees an array of boarding pikes, daggers, cutlasses, hand axes, and a falchion scattered around the deck, but no firearm.
Zeebu hears the spotter running and catches him with the crossbow bolt, but is finding Oreanna's mist is beginning to hinder his shots!
Nathaniel moves after the boarding repeller:
But the pirate interposes the pike and stops the shark-kin in his tracks!
Markus swings back at the pirate he is fighting, but misses.
Oreanna steps up and checks the next merchant sailor, but finds this one has already died.
Coredllia attempts acid splash again, but is certain she has not hit anything in this fog!
The bruiser by Markus cuts down the merchant sailor standing next to him!

Grin moves to help Markus out with the big guy in yellow and takes a swing with his sword, clicking at Barret to follow and attack.
Grin moves across and slashes the bruiser, and his croc comes in and bites as well, but again these brutes seem to be very hardy and he keeps his feet!

Seeing Biligup take yet another wound, Munir calls upon the healing warmth of Zailor and reaches towards the grippli, heedless of the nearby bruiser's cutlass.
"By Zailor! *YIP!*"
Round 6
Munrir goes to heal, but instead finds the bruiser's cutlass piercing his own breast as he begins to cast!

The cutlass is barely caught again by Biligup's buckler, bringing the young frog man to a knee for a moment. With a shift of his body, he rolls the blade away and picks himself back up off of the ground. With labored breaths, he nods to the pirate.
"Is...is that the best you got?" He says in a tired voice, lifting his rapier up once more for combat. Munrir comes in from the side though, trying his best to aid and heal the Grippli. As magical light begins to form, the pirate turns and drives the cutlass deep against the gnoll. "Munrir!" Biligup cries out, launching after the man in a rage.
The fatigue in his arms is growing and the concussion from when he was slammed against the railing makes his vision blur for just a moment.
"Good gentlemen...I...I think I need some help..." Biligup shouts out, a worried look appearing upon his face.
Myrsko sees Murir fall near him, "Oh man!" Glancing at the rest of the deck, Maybe I wasn't the only one unprepared for this. He take a step inward to position, and quickly he swirls his hands through the air before bringing them together to unleash a wave of fire across the ship's deck.
After the attack, he bends down and grabs a dagger. This next part isn't going to be fun, he thinks to himself as he awaits the pirate attackers.
Round 6:
Heskavar finishes his summoning spell, resulting in a single eagle popping into existence in the sky above him, on level with the decks of the two ships. Looking up at it, he watches as it begins to fly towards one of the pirates above. He then moves towards the rope that Shad is climbing, grabbing the trailing end and beginning to try to haul himself up.
The eagle begins flying towards one of the nearby pirates, looping around in order to get to an optimal position from which to bite at the humanoid.
With nothing to attack, Fang swims in circles between the front of the two ships.
Round 7:
Heskavar waits until Shad goes further up the rope. Once he does, Heskavar attempts to climb further up the rope, going cery slowly as he does.
The eagle flaps over slightly, before biting and clawing at the Pirate that it had bitten before.
Still with nothing to attack, Fang continues his circles.
