Here are the captain's Aid Another checks.

Capricia the Pirate Profession (sailor) Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Capricia the Pirate Profession (sailor) Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

First fails, Second succeeds.

Vilka Fire ballista one and Manny fire two please.

Ballista: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 203d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) = 12

Callum smiles as they approach.

Profession (sailor)+skilled driver: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 4 = 18
Profession (sailor)+skilled driver +Caprica's aid #2: 1d20 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 22

Note re Expert Driver: Callum can make an accelerate, decelerate, or turn action as a move action instead of a standard action. Furthermore, when stopping a vehicle, he can subtract 10 feet from the roll to determine how many feet the vehicle moves forward before it stops.

Ballista: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 I think its bab + dex? I probably shouldnt be firing it :)

Annoyed by firing far off, Vikla opts to enchance Manny more accurate shot by casting a burst of radiance on the point where it impacts on.

profession sailor Truewind: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27
profession sailor Truewind: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 1 = 19

Fishguts gives some avdvice to Callum : To keep a vessel from simply trying to flee during ship-to-ship combat, he can try to fool the opposing ship into believing that it has gained the upper hand in the battle by making a Bluff check opposed by the enemy captain’s Sense Motive check, once your ship has been hit by at least one attack.

The Truewind attacks with its catapult in response

standard catapult: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 damage: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 1, 2, 2) = 17

If needed.

Capricia the Pirate Bluff Check (Aid Another--Callum): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Sense Motive Truewind
sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

If needed.

[dice=Capricia the Pirate Bluff Check (Aid Another--Callum)]1d20+5

As Callum has a Bluff of +1 seems Capricia will have to handle it herself. On that roll, it should not be a problem.

The Truewind slows for boarding.

Prepare for boarding and roll init.

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

WE RUN BARTERTOWN!

"Come on, lads and lasses! Let's show 'em what we've got!"

Capricia the Pirate Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Initiative on Favored Terrain: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

init Truewind: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Truewind captain

As I presume you intend to take the Truewind as a prize, you will need to board her and fight the captain and his retainers, in this case his 2nd in command and 4 marines.

As they get closer, Nuts runs to one of the ropes and picks up one with a boarding hook.

Manny runs west with Owlbear

Callum tosses a rope around one of the wheel spokes to stabilize it for boarding before moving to the port side to prepare for boarding. Seeing one of the enemy crew standing out amongst the rest, he figures the man for a leadership role, Captain or Mate. When the crew of the Queen's Grace come close enough to hear him, he points at the man on the other ship. "Thar be one o' them that we be wantin'," he calls out. "We bring down the Mate an' Cap'n then the rest o' the crew will fold."

Move action #1: Move into position at the side of the ship.
Ready for move action #2: When party & crew gets within 30', activate Freebooter's Bane on the officer that's in the middle. All attacks on that individual get a +1 to attack and damage.

Vikla divine favors herself as battle is about to be joined.
She then casts bless on the party.

CURRENT EFFECTS
+1 morale to attack rolls and saving throws vs fear effects PARTYWIDE for 4 minutes +2 to attack and damage rolls VIKLA ONLY for 1 minute

Capricia

"Prepare to be boarded!" Capricia yells at the captain and crew of the Truewind. "Anyone who dares raise steel to oppose us won't live long enough to regret their mistake!"

Well, that was supposed to be Capricia's best effort at Diplomacy, but it sure sounds like an Intimidate check to me. If she can use tough love Diplomacy, add an additional +3 to the result.

Capricia the Pirate Intimidate Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

She'll attempt to board once it's feasible.

Seeing that we are getting close, I cast vanish and take a rope up the rigging 15 ft. Preparing to swing across to the other ship. Hoping to get over the head of the front line to flank from behind, sword at the ready.

climb the riggin: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

The crew of the other ship drop planks in between the ships for boarding and using boarding pikes to pull the ships together.

The crew of the other ship drop planks in between the ships for boarding and using boarding pikes to pull the ships together.

Are they surrendering or preparing to fight us or board our ship?

They are preparing to fight

Owlbear charges three squares west and then south across the plank. Manny leaps off his shoulders and flips over the sailor so he lands behind him.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Vikla tries to goad them into crossing over.

Callum moves to cross, trying toll past one of the sailors to stand beside Emerald.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Double move SE, S, SW, S, S. Bad roll means likely provoking AoO

Nuts moves up across the plank and attacks defensively

Unarmed Strike 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 4 = 19 | Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Capricia

Capricia starts across the plank before jumping the last 5 feet to engage the officer Callum pointed out. Unfortunately, her foot slips upon landing and her slash misses badly.

Snake eyes!

Capricia the Pirate Acrobatics Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Capricia the Pirate falcata (bless, freebooter's bane): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 12 for slashing damage plus 4 precision damage (freebooter's bane): 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 + 1 = 12 (19-20/x3)

The halfling retaliates against the commanding officer.

"Everyone calm down! Not here for your blood." he looks at Capricia with a curious exoression, and mumbles "Probably." under his breath.

Actions: Free 5ft step if I can get into or set up a flank | Swift Exploit Weakness | Full attack defensively vs Captain

Opening roll 20 here is a chore. Someone please move me if a 5 ft step is available and I can set up a flanking situation. Thank you!

Exploit Weakness: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 4 = 19 vs Truewind Captain for a +2 to attacks on the captain

Fighting defensively for AC 22 and attacking the captain nonlethal to knock them out.

Flurry:
1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 4 = 17 | Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21 | Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Pumping a stunning fist into the first attack. DC 15 fort or stunned.

AC22 (24 vs captain if that EW roll was good enough)
HP 19/25
SF 3/4

"I already offered that option and it was refused!" Capricia yells to Nuts.

Owlbear thwaks the sailor he is flanking with Manny

Manny stabs!
Dagger: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 141d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Callum growls upon being struck and uses Nuts' positioning to allow him to flank one of the sailors.

Full attack vs fellow between him & Nuts.

TWF Tidewater Cutlass Attack w flanking & bless: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 28
Cutlass damage & sneak: 1d6 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (6) = 11

TWF Boarding Axe Attack w flanking & bless: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 22
Axe damage & sneak: 1d6 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (6) = 15

Cutlass Crit Check: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 22
Crit damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

OK. If the first attack, doing 16 damage, downs the fellow Callum is flanking with Nuts, the second attack can go against the one beside him (E of Callum) with a -2 (and -the 2nd d6 damage) since there's no flanking (so 20 to hit for 9 damage). Otherwise continue with the flanked guy for a total of 31 damage.

Owlbear thwaks the sailor he is flanking with Manny

With bless Manny hits. Owlnear attacks
club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9
