Shar'ka listens intently, with her hand resting on Barnacle's stubbly head. "Thank you for telling us your plans," she says. "We are willing to join forces with any who seek to destroy the evil that is dragons. We will wait here for further information."
"Don't be hasty," Shar'ka says, leaning back and sipping her mug. She seems to be a little less uptight after several mugs and conversation with these new colleagues. "A night of good rest can go a long way. I recommend taking the night to do so."
Shar'ka gnaws on the meat after dipping it in beans. She eyes the dwarf but answers calmly, "Can a ship not have two captains? We both lead on the Drake's Revenge." She drops some of the meat onto a dish on the floor by her feet, and Barnacle makes a happy snort and digs in.
"You and your companions are welcome to join us for a meal. We will help clean up this rotten mess as well." Shar'ka says, motioning towards the shore.
Shar'ka, seeing the giant disappear under the water, calls for Barnacle to return to the ship. "Nice shooting, Captain," she says to Simon, stowing and readjusting her bow and arrows. "Good thing we were here to help out. Let's help clean up these bodies." She looks over at the dwarf next to her. "Shar'ka," she states curtly, as a way to introduce herself. Barnacle climbs up onto the ship's deck and makes a sound like a low honk. "And this is Barnacle." Shar'ka scans the shore and begins to walk towards the group of folks chatting casually amidst the leftover gore of battle.

Shar'ka sees that one hobgoblin is left on the dock. She fires two arrows at it.

"Shiri! Attack the closest goblin! Let's get these filthy rags off our ship!" Shar'ka calls to her cohort.
ROUND 8 Barnacle opens his jaws and lets out a shrill battle cry. He notices the large giant beast seem to fall into the water. Barnacle looks up eagerly at his companion. "Barnacle!

DMHW: Could Shiri stay in the AA9 instead of moving? Her spell would reach. Thanks!
ROUND 7 "Barnacle, attack the goblins!" commands Shar'ka. The snapping turtle whirls around and chomps down on the one right in front of him
Feeling the leg of the hobgoblin crunch beneath his jaws, he holds on to the little creature.
"That's it, Barnacle!" cried Shar'ka, letting loose an arrow at the one in Barnacle's jaws.
Seeing the first shot hit home, she lets another fly at the same hobgoblin.
"Shiri! Get those rats off our ship!"
ROUND 6 Barnacle lets out a growl and snaps at the giant .
He holds on, shaking his head as his jaws clamp down.
"Keep ahold, Barnacle!" calls Shar'ka as she lets fly two arrows at the giant.
Looking over her shoulder towards the garden area of the poopdeck, Shar'ka shouts, "Shiri! We could use your help here!" A tiny gnome with a shock of white hair, wrapped in blue robes and yellow ropes stained with wear, weather, and dirt, lifts her head from her gardening at the call. She sees the battle raging and looks quite surprised, like she had no idea other things were happening besides her pruning of the vegetables.
Shar'ka gives a quick nod to Captain Simon as he (rather gracefully, she thinks) jumps onto the ship. The deck of the Drake's Revenge begins bustling as crew members scurry back and forth with ropes and riggings to prep the junk for sailing. Shar'ka fixates on the giant approaching from the dock, not noticing anything around her (and they know not to disturb her when her bow is out). She lets loose an arrow at the hill giant and immediately fires another without waiting to see the first hit. "Blasted giants," she mutters, "Barnacle, leave the goblins and attack the giant!"
Barnacle, feeling the hobgoblin he bite before has fallen, quickly lets go and reaches for giant . He sees arrows sticking out of it, and bites down hard.
He clamps his jaws on the giant and attempts to grab it.
Barnacle holds on tight, still snarling.
"Barnacle! Attack!" yells Shar'ka, seeing the giant fall under Captain Simon's powerful attack. Barnacle whirls around on the spot and chomps down on the hobgoblin right in front of him .
He clamps down his jaws and attempts to grapple with the little creature.
Shar'ka makes an approving noise at her companion. She uses the opportunity of Barnacle's holding the hobgoblin to loose two arrows at it .
Another arrow flies off her bow.
Her glance quickly skims the open water. "Captain, more on the way!" she shouts towards Captain Simon.
DMHW: On the map the hillgiant we had been attacking has a huge X through it, but your descriptor sounded like he was about to attack with a club. Is he unconscious or dead or still up? Thanks!
ROUND 3 Feeling the giant wrench out of his grasp, Barnacle gnashes his beaky jaws and bites the giant again.
In his haste, Barnacle misjudges the location of the giant's leg. He misses and takes a 5 foot step backwards. "Keep attacking that giant, Barnacle!" shouts Shar'ka. She hears inspiring words floating from the shore and grits her teeth. She lets loose an arrow at the nearest hobgoblin on the dock , knowing Captain Simon and her snapping turtle can finish the giant.
Without pause she takes aim at the second hobgoblin .
Snarling under her breath, she waits to watch her companions take down the giant.
SECOND ROUND (revised) Barnacle viciously snaps his jaws at the creature who comes within his reach, who is getting too close to his cohort. Following her commands to guard, the snapping turtle bites the hill giant in front of him .
Barnacle sinks his jaws deeper into the flesh of his prey and attempts to grab him .
He holds fast to the giant's massive treetrunk-like leg and begins to chomp his jaws again.
DMHarp:
The giant's AC takes a penalty of -4 to Dex and -2 to attacks and combat maneuvers, as he is in the GRAPPLED condition. Shar'ka snarls as her first arrow misses. She takes a step closer to the edge of the boat and raises her bow again. She nods sharply as Barnacle bites, grabs, and bites the hill giant coming towards the ship and fires at that giant that the snapping turtle is grappling.
Wordlessly (unlike her cohort Captain Simon) she nocks another arrow and lets it fly at the same giant.
"Good job, Barnacle," she shouts. She sees Captain Simon ready to shoot another blast from their shipside double hackbut and smiles as she mutters to him, "That giant is done for."
Thanks for the updates about posting. I just edited all of mine to reflect this. It's so hard to wait to see how the battle turns out!!
SECOND ROUND Barnacle double moves to swim 40 feet, making a beeline to the giant that his companion shot point sticks at . He viciously snaps his jaws at the creature, planning to reach out and attack when he next gets the chance. Shar'ka snarls as her first arrow misses. She takes a step closer to the edge of the boat and raises her bow. She releases another arrow at the same giant as before, the one sitting in the back of the boat.
Wordlessly (unlike her cohort Captain Simon) she nocks another arrow and lets it fly at the same giant.
Her sharp eyes spy Barnacle across the water as he menaces the same giant she has been shooting. She knows that now he is in the water he can do some damage. She sees Captain Simon ready to shoot another blast from their shipside double hackbut and smiles as she mutters, "That giant is done for."
Stepping out from beside her guard station by the central mast of the Drake's Revenge. "Giants," she mutters. In one fluid motion she reaches to the quiver on her back stuffed with different-looking arrows, nocks one with thick black fletchings, and releases, aiming for the closest giant to the open sea.
Without skipping a beat she draws another arrow (this one looking more like a normal arrow) and lets loose.
Already nocking another arrow, she glances down to her side. "Barnacle, guard the ship." The snapping turtle, whose head comes up to Shar'ka's waist, makes an acknowledging bite at the air. He slips off the edge of the ship (right in front of Shar'ka) and paddles his big webbed feet. He readies his jaws to bite if anything comes within his 10ft. reach. DMHW: Barnacle is large sized; make sure he takes up 2x2 squares! I am fine with having him go on my initiative, if that's the easiest for you. Thanks!
Also, here is a percentage to get my giant bane arrow back if it misses: ; 1-49 I lose it, 50-100 I regain it.
Go to HERE to see it! Also, thanks for the pointers for the codes all. :)
Here is a picture I've created of my characters! The little pictures offered for avatars don't do her any justice, so I found my own: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1CJciIfZkCFo-Apr8j9MfVjm8eHwJ03YW7K0NW4v OUU4/edit?usp=sharing
Bofus, how do you get your attacks to "show" and "hide" like that? I should try it with all my info I need to display. :)
Greetings all! I'm Molly, playing a half-orc ranger with a large snapping sea turtle. Take a moment to read her description on my profile; Kris and I worked up quite a story line for the both of us. Looking forward to getting in the action and potentially slaying some dragons! |
