Winnie nods. "Wereshark bites are particularly difficult to cure. Give me a few days to gather the necessary ingredients, and I'll take care of it for you."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other Pirate Lords take various amounts of time to accept the fact that you're the new king. The main complaint is your newness to the trade, but as you rightly said, your family has a long and storied history of piracy. You've also racked up a very enviable list of accomplishments in a short time, each more impressive than the last. Having the support of Tessa definitely helps your case, and the personalized gifts are a particularly nice touch. In the end, you receive unanimous support from the council. While they're reluctant to commit the entirety of their fleets to dealing with the Chelish (prefering to hold a portion back for defense of their individual home ports), there'll be a sizeable armada sailing to Drenchport with you. Based on what you know of pirate history, this will be the largest naval engagement in the past 50 years.

You'll have a short amount of time to plan in Drenchport once you meet up with the Master of Gales, but this is a perfect time to begin hashing out some broad strokes while all of your allies are gathered in one place.

In other words, let me know when you're ready to advance the plot. XD

Having looked each council member in the eye as he accepts their oaths, Elek smiles a wolfish smile, "In two days we sail to Drenchport." As they begin to leave, he gestures towards the cannon in the ship's hold. "Let us discuss plans a little. I intend to use the 'Filthy Lucre' as bait she's heavily armed and armored and should be able to withstand the first assault. I'll put her in the middle of the front line of a square formation, on the left and right of that line will be the mercenaries I hired. The lines on the sides of the square will be your ships and on the line of the back square will be my fleet and anyone else sailing with us. They will punch through the front line, which will be weakest, and your fleets will be the hammer to my fleet's anvil." He looks around at the pirate lords, asking, "Any opinions?"
------------------------
Having collected the list of captains from Sandara and the rest of the treasure from the hull, he will discreetly begin speaking to the captains he'd selected. Intent on having every hand available to fight on the 'Filthy Lucre' he asks Breaker to move the skeleton anchor from the 'Banshee's Revenge' to the 'Filthy Lucre'.

I think we are ready to advance the plot, do any of the NPC's (pirate lords or his officers and crew) have any recommendations?

Sailing to Drenchport, you meet up with the Master of Gales. While his fleet is the smallest of all the council members, his mastery of the winds is usually the only ally he needs - to say nothing of the giant squid that serves as his constant companion. Once the final tally is made, you'll have 54 ships under your command in addition to the Revenge and the Filthy Lucre - a sizable armada.

The Master of Gales suggests the edge of the Eye of Abendego serve as the battleground. While the immense maelstrom is far too powerful to control, you and the Master of Gales can potentially combine your powers to partially mitigate its effects - giving you the terrain advantage. Of course, this puts your armada at risk, but the Chelish armada will hopefully experience the full effects of the hazards. Alternately, you could fight farther away from the Eye, removing the danger to your armada - but also to the Chelish.

As they sailed towards Drenchport, Elek finalized the plans with his lords and captains. Staying on the 'Filthy Lucre.' at the front of the armada, he had Sandara captaining the 'Banshee's Revenge.' bringing up the rear guard.

Understanding his 'lord's' decision to leave part of their fleets home to guard their ports, Elek considered his options for the upcoming fight with the Chelish. If they fought in the storm, many ships may be lost to the storm. If they fought outside of the storm, if the worst happened they could regroup and help defend the ports. Not wanting to commit everything to the ravages of the storm, the would fight farther away from the eye, where they could use their weather control offensively against the Chelish instead of defensively against the storm.

Not sure it's the best idea, but it felt like the Lords would prefer not risking everything to the storm. So, sucking up to the crowd a little.

Fair enough. I wanted to give you the option of setting up THIS scene, but wanting to avoid the risk is perfectly valid. XD

It's time. After getting whatever rest you can and taking care of any final preparations, your fleet joins those of your allies a few miles outside the Eye of Abendego. You're far enough away that - aside from rather choppy waters - there's no danger from the eternal storm, but remain close enough to easily spot the Chelish as they emerge.

Dawn breaks, and as it does, a green glow begins to shine from within the maelstrom, rapidly increasing in intensity. Shortly thereafter, ships sail out of the storm clouds, bound together with chains teeming with spectral serpents. The armada has arrived. Forty-seven warships in all, each capable of fighting on even footing against a small fleet of pirate vessels. The leader: your former foe, the Dominator.

Having changed some of his gear to look more like a pirate lord, Elek stands on the aft deck of the 'Filthy Lucre' beside Captain Omara. Seeing the Chelish fleet on the horizon, he smiles recognizing the Dominator. Turning to Omara he gestures towards the ship. "We're headed straight for that one." As he takes out his sending stone The one for the 'Revenge' 'Stick to the plan, but we'll turn and focus on the Dominator, have Ambrose spread the word. Knowing not all the ships have 'sending stones, he turns to the 'Lucre's' First mate, "Ms Hypatia please flag the rest of the ship telling them to stay in formation with us."

Having given a few orders, he reaches out to the Weather available, Due to Greater size it's long range and begins pushing the fleet forwards. Turning to the garundi woman, "Captain Omara, let me know if I need to take the helm."

I don't remember if fleet combat included 'sailing' rolls, if it does, Elek will take the helm

As you begin to sail closer, a dozen horned birdlike devils suddenly appear in the sky in front of your vessel!

I put a picture in the usual place. No Knowledge check, as you don't have (divine) or (planes) and neither Sandara nor Iryani is with you.

How far are they and how quickly are they closing?

releasing his focus on the wind, Elek reaches into the coat he's wearing over his armor. Drawing out the wand he summons a hound archon, pointing his cannon at the approaching devils, asking. "What are they How do we beat them and what can you do to help?"

I'm assuming that if were not in initiative we will be soon. This feels like a move action and a standard. Sorry for the short post, been busy all day and my minds mush. I'll get a better post once they are in range.

It's actually a move + a full-round, but as we aren't in initiative yet, it doesn't matter. XD

Archon Knowledge DC 10: 1d20 ⇒ 1 lol
"They're devils that are much more powerful than me."

The devils continue to fly closer. They'll be on you in seconds!
They're 50ft away

It's actually a move + a full-round, but as we aren't in initiative yet, it doesn't matter. XD

eventually I'll remember a summons is a full round. Of course by then, It probably won't matter.

Realizing it must be hard for the hound to admit that the devils are stronger, Elek draws his estoc, telling the summoned creature. "That's fine, use your magic to help protect us from evil, then hide so they don't kill you and use your magic to aid where you can." As he estoc comes clear of the 'quiver' he commands the cursed cannon to place the flying mantle on him.

50 ft is still too far to use the cannon, so I guess we wait a second longer for initiative. Are the winds from the nearby storm naturally strong enough for Elek to fly? Elek is requestion the hound cast magic circle against evil, then aid.

It's only a standard for Summoners using their spell-like ability. An easy thing to forget. XD

The archon touches you, and you feel warmth envelop your body (you'll have the effects of magic circle against evil for the next hour). As long as there are no interruptions, it'll cast its remaining magic in a few seconds.

Currently wind category 2, but it'll increase as you sail closer to the storm.

There is probably a lot of stuff he should be doing to get ready for this...

Hoping the devils would leave his undead crew alone, Elek turns to the sniper, "Captain Omara give the order for your crew to fire. I'll take this fight to the devils the best way I know how."

Hoping invisibility will give him a brief edge, Elek turns the ring on his finger becoming invisible for the briefest of moments.

I guess he'll wait for initiative invisible.

Enemy Initiative: 4d20 + 16 ⇒ (10, 7, 5, 19) + 16 = 57 (average 14ish)
Elek Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

As the devils fly toward you, a noxious stench fills the air. One of the devils is directly behind you, seemingly appearing out of nowhere!

Fort DC 18 (poison) vs sickened 1d4 rounds. The devil's 5ft behind you. The other dozen are flying 10ft in front of you.

Fort DC: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
So the weapon in he picture if very bardiche like, so I"m assuming it has reach. I don't think the devil was close enough for elek's quick shot before its move.

Seeing the creature fly past and land behind him, Elek steps to the side, bringing the cannon to bear. Lowering the cursed prosthetic for a split second, feinting, "don't go anywhere, I'll deal with you in a second." Quickly bringing the mithril and adamantium cannon back up he commands. "Bù réncí, Yánggōng, Dàn mù" Firing he feint shot and following it up with a barrage.

You're correct: they're wielding bardiches. Also, so you're aware, nothing 'flew past and landed behind him.' Devils can teleport. XD

Elek Spell Resistance DC 17: 5d20 ⇒ (3, 11, 5, 13, 3) = 35 (all pass)
Your barrage quickly downs the devil as three more appear around you. The flying devils, meanwhile, vanish from sight.

You're up! These three devils are positioned so you can't 5ft-step out of reach of all of them.

"Blast!" Cursing as one attack penetrates both metal and magical defenses, Elek realizes that attacking with the cannon at this close of range, may endanger him even more. Winking at the devil on the right, "I'll be right back." he steps towards the one to the center. Feinting at the devils face he turns the tip of the estoc at it's neck, "shèjí." while firing the cannon at it's gut. Shifting his feet he attacks again, thrusting the estoc and firing the cannon.

Dropping the second devil Elek turns back towards the one he'd threatened with returning. Stepping closer he feints at the devils chest but turns the tip of the estoc at it's groin, "shèjí." while firing the cannon at its head. Shifting his feet he attacks again, thrusting the estoc and firing the cannon.

Elek Spell Resistance DC 17: 2d20 ⇒ (10, 3) = 13 (both succeed)

You quickly take down the fourth devil. As you do so, the sounds of battle begin filling the air. The Shackles armada and the Chelish armada have reached each other.
2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
While your armada is slightly more numerous than the Chelish armada, the majority of your ships are raiders, not warships. The front of your box formation suffers heavy damage from massive broadsides while swarms of devils target the captains. Meanwhile, your path to the Dominator is blocked by another warship: the Abrogail's Fury.

Frowning as he realizes the other flying devils are attacking the other ships captains, Elek hopes his people will be ok as he turns to the battle itself. Nodding he realizes the chelish have fallen for the trap. Decimating the front line, they are soon to be flanked by the pirate lords' fleets, who should be much tougher than those of the mercenaries.

Turning his attention towards the Dominator, he see's the 'Abrogail's Fury' Approaching. Turning to Captain Omara he calls out pointing towards the nearing ship. "Let's see what those Cannon can do to her. We need to do enough damage that she and the 'Dominator' cannot afford not to try and board us."

Moving towards the front of the ship, Elek, determined to save the cursed cannon's magic until absolutely necessary, begins to activate the magic of the crown. Calling on its "winds of vengeance".

That feels like a move action and standard, the spell lasts 17 min? Also, knowledge checks for the Abrogail's Fury
Knowledge (civilization): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27
Knowledge (martial): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Yes, the spell will last for 17min. Make sure you're familiar with everything it does; it's a fairly complex spell. XD

Abrogail's Fury begins firing catapults and ballistae as you close in. The roar of explosions fills your ears as your cannons respond.

Knowledge: The Abrogail's Fury is a Chelish man-o'-war flying the flag of House Thrune. Its commander, Admiral Druvalia Thrune, is a skilled tactician and the cousin of Queen Abrogail.

Convinced that the commander of the Chelish man-o'-war would not surrender, Elek turns the ring of invisibility becoming invisible. Using the power of the crown, he takes to the air, intent on finding Admiral Thrune and killing or capturing them.

Standard become invisible, move fly towards the Abrogail's Fury'

Flying invisibly toward the Abrogail's Fury, you quickly spot Admiral Thrune at the helm. Standing next to her is a Hellknight, presumably a bodyguard. As you approach, both suddenly look in your direction and assume readied positions. Clearly they have some way of seeing you.
Elek Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Enemy Initiative: 2d20 + 14 ⇒ (5, 4) + 14 = 23 (average 11.5)

Pictures of both opponents are in the usual place.

Flying towards the helm, Elek realizes both the admiral and the body guard, realize he's there. Giving a smile, intent on taking prisoners, he commands the cursed cannon. "Réncí Kuàisù pāishè" Firing a quick shot at the cousin of the chelish queen. Slowing he hovers about twenty-five-foot from his target. Pointing the cannon at the hellknight bodyguard in a feint, he calls out, "I don't suppose either of you ladies would like to surrender?" He then turns the cannon back towards Admiral Thrune, commanding the cursed prosthetic. "Yánggōng, Dàn mù" attempting the feint at point blank range and following up with a barrage at the dark-haired woman.

How many of those hit, and how strong is the wind now?

It's currently a severity 4 wind. All of your shots hit - but only one hit the intended target. XD

The hellknight deftly steps in front of the admiral as you open fire, allowing your barrage to strike her instead. Immediately, the admiral shouts an order, and a barrage of crossbow bolts erupts from the marines crowding the deck of Abrogail's Fury. Thanks to the power of the Hurricane Crown, none strike you. The hellknight, despite her wounds, appears much less injured than you'd expect. She gestures, and a Large serpentine devil appears behind you. Water fills your lungs, and you suddenly feel ... heavy.

As the quarrels are whipped away from him in the wind, Elek smiles, asking. "Once I defeat you admiral will your troops surrender or will I be forced to deal with them?"

As he speaks he feels an odd breath ??? pass over him. Realizing there is a 'creature' behind him, he says to the Admiral and her body guard in a feint, "I guess I'll have to deal with you two first."

Along with the feint, he moves up and away from the large devil telling the cursed prosthetic "Cì chuān, Bù réncí, Yánggōng, Dàn mù." Commanding the prosthetic to do lethal piercing damage, as he feints and fires a barrage point blank at the vile creature.

The devil is Large, so it's actually a 10ft move to get out of reach. Fortunately, your mobility means that isn't a problem. XD Don't forget the -4 penalty for making ranged attacks in a severe wind, though.

Elek Spell Resistance DC 19: 5d20 ⇒ (18, 17, 7, 15, 8) = 65 (all succeed)
Your barrage quickly dispatches the devil. As you do, the admiral issues an order. "Come down to the deck." You feel Infernal power behind her words, but the archon's protective spell allows you to resist.

Hearing the Admiral command "Come down" Elek feels the spell wash over him. Nodding he begins to descend, stopping at about twenty five feet above them. Asking in a feint, "What conditions do you offer for my surrender." As he asks, he snaps the mithril and adamantium cannon down aiming it at the bodyguard and commands the cursed prosthetic, " Yánggōng Dàn mù" Firing a deadly feint and barrage at point blank range.

IF the barrage drops the guard at anytime he will fire the rest at the admiral

Despite already being wounded, the admiral's bodyguard remains upright as all five of your shots strike her. She even manages to utter a terrible curse towards you before collapsing. (she had multiple Guardian talents, if you were curious)

Admiral Thrune, meanwhile, barks an order to a marine in the crow's nest, and a signal flare is fired in the direction of the Dominator. At the same time, a skeletal devil materializes in front of you and unleashes a furious flurry of attacks before vanishing.

Watching the proud bodyguard fall, Elek deftly dodges the attacks of the devil. Realizing, with the signal flare going up, that time is of the essence, he turns the cursed cannon towards the direction of the disappearing devil, in a feint. "Once I blast you out of the air I'll deal with her." Quickly bringing the cannon back to bear on the Admiral he commands it, "Réncí, Yánggōng, Dàn mù" Attempting to knock the admiral unconscious so he could take her prisoner, he fires a nonlethal feint and barrage point plank at the Thrune.

Your barrage dispatches the devil. Opening your eyes, you see massive projectiles flying toward you from the Dominator. Fortunately, the Hurricane Crown's magic continues to protect you. Unfortunately, you can also see that the Chelish armada is wreaking havoc on your ships. Arronax's and Tessa's ships are holding their own, but several of your allies have suffered heavy losses.

"Blast!" Cursing as he sees the armada wreaking havoc on his fleet, Elek flies towards the mast where the chelish flag is waiving. Using estoc he slashes at the flags rope, as he considers the best way to communicate that the admiral is defeated.

so a move action and cutting the rope. Do you need a roll for the rope? My assumption was if the admiral was defeated it would break the chelish morale, but not sure the best way to communicate that. Nor if it would really work. I will roll Knowledge (civilization) and Knowledge (martial) to best figure the way to get the chelish demoralized and out of the fight.
Knowledge (civilization): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (8) + 25 = 33
Knowledge (martial): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
What is happening with the 'Filthy Lucre' have either the 'Dominator or the Abrogail's Fury tried to grapple her or visa versa?

An armada of this size has multiple people in leadership roles. That also doesn't take into account the factor that you need Sandara or Iryani (or Know: divine or planes) to identify. XD

The flag of House Thrune falls to the deck, stopping the crew of the Abrogail's Fury in their tracks. It'll take more than that to stop the armada, however. The Chelish ships (still linked with their spectral chains) continue to carve through your allies. They're exhibiting exceptional tactics and appear to be completely unbothered by the wind and waves. Based on what you're seeing, none of the Chelish ships seem interested in carrying out boarding actions. Instead, they're using their superior firepower and devilish allies to simply destroy enemy ships, leaving the crews to drown.

On a positive note, the destructive capabilities of the Filthy Lucre's cannons is causing most of the Chelish ships to leave you a wide berth. Anything getting too close is quickly damaged, so your enemies have clearly decided to hold back until they can surround you and crush you through sheer numbers ... except for the Dominator, that is. The largest and most powerful ship in the Chelish armada is rapidly approaching. Now that it's closed in, you can see that it isn't flying the flag of House Thrune. The captain of the Dominator belongs to a smaller House, one with much less influence - but one that has personal ties to certain Shackles pirates. House Salisfer.

Realizing the difficulty of the task, Elek changes tack. Pulling out the 'sending stone' for the 'Banshee's Revenge' he sends word to Sandara. "Order fleet to disperse. When chelish pursue individually or turn to come after Filthy Lucre close in and board ships. I'll deal with the Dominator"

Taking a moment, he flies down to the helm of the 'Abrogail's Fury' Calling out to the Crew and marines. "I am Elek Kardforgató Captain of the 'Banshee's Revenge' and newly crowned king of the Shackles. Drop anchor and stay out of the fight and I guarantee everyone lives."

Leaving the deck of the 'Fury' Elek flies towards the 'Lucre' Calling down to Captain Omara "Focus on the 'Dominator'" He gives a wolfish grin, "I've an old acquaintance to catch up with." As he flies towards the large ship, he activates the ring of invisibility.

Feels like two or three rounds of action, after flying over the 'Lucre' how many rounds 2 60 ft to the 'Dominator'?
influence crew of the 'Fury' to drop anchor and stay out of the fight: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (18) + 35 = 53

As you approach the Dominator, an octopus-like devil appears directly above you and attempts to trap you within a cage of tentacles!
Grapple: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (5) + 26 = 31

Picture's in the usual spot.

Approaching Dominator' Elek senses the devil appear above him. Glancing that way, he shakes his head in a feint. "I've no time for you, I've a ship to destroy." Dropping lower hoping to get out of reach of the creature, but still with in range of his cannon, he tells the cursed prosthetic. "Yánggōng, Dàn mù" Firing the cannon at point blank range at the odd evil amalgamation.

Elek Spell Resistance DC 25: 5d20 ⇒ (15, 15, 18, 2, 20) = 70 (one fails)

While the devil's natural defenses against magic make your barrage less effective than usual, you still deal heavy damage. It's not enough to dispatch the fiend, though, and she's quick to close in.

Wow, two hits and hard for that grapple to miss on a natural 20! I went back and double checked he can still use the feint, but the negatives are piling up :( Any chance you didn't count the disoriented :)

"Blast!" Cursing as both a claw and tentacle hit, Elek is unable to avoid the tentacle wrapping him up and squeezing. Furrowing his brow he asks in a feint. "Are you sure we can't just talk about this?" Thrusting the barrel as close to the things mass as he can, he commands the cursed prosthetic, "Yánggōng, Dàn mù" Firing the cannon at point blank range at the odd evil amalgamation.

Crud, those rolls are a mixed bag.

Now that you mention it, I forgot about the disoriented penalty. That should put you in a much better spot. XD

Elek Spell Resistance DC 25: 5d20 + 14 ⇒ (8, 15, 9, 11, 14) + 14 = 71 (three succeed)
AoOs: 2d20 + 22 - 6 ⇒ (19, 5) + 22 - 6 = 40 (I think the 35 barely misses)

Your first shot is harmlessly absorbed by the devil's defenses, but your second shot gets through and dispatches her.

yeah, the 35 is off by one....that grapple did enough damage, so I'm not feeling bad that you missed this time :)

Relieved to see the devil fall, Elek paused for a second. Content to stay visible, he moved towards the 'Dominator' looking for the captain, or whoever had decided to display the House Salisfer flag. As he neared he commands the adamantium and mithril cannon, "Gēngshēn céngcì de zhìyù" using some the cursed prosthetic's magic to heal himself.

Deeper Healing talent: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) + 7 = 15

As expected, arrows and crossbow bolts fly toward you as you approach, but your mastery of the winds keeps you safe. You don't see the captain, though. Apparently this naval engagement isn't worth his time, as you see a light shining in the captain's cabin.

Seeing the lights shining from the captain's quarters, Elek makes a quick decision; Better to try and change the path of the 'Dominator' first, then to seek revenge and prisoners. Turning towards the Helm, Elek spends a moment to use the crown's ability to control winds (as the spell) in up to a 700ft radius around him. Pushing the wind directly against the ship's sails, he looks towards the helm, trying to determine how to take the ship.

So move action flying towards the helm, standard action using the crowns spell like ability. How many and of what sort near the helm, he's going there first.

How strong are the winds you're creating? You can set any strength between Light Wind and Hurricane.

There appear to be close to 100 marines on the main deck. Based on what you remember about the Dominator when you last encountered it, that's around half of its crew. The rest are likely belowdecks manning the rows of ballistae. There's only one sailor at the helm, but he's guarded by two of those fish-like devils.

The ones with the heavy aura and the drowning attack.

Pausing above the upper deck, Elek calls to the Helmsman, as he pushes the wind into the sail. "Turn this ship from my fleet and live." As he speaks, he points the cursed prosthetic at the fish-like devil in the left in a feint. "You should flee." Turning the adamantium and mithril cannon at the one on the right, he commands the prosthetic, ""Yánggōng, Dàn mù" Firing the cannon at point blank range at the odd fish like devil.
