These things happen, it's a strange time all round.

"We can give the place a thorough search, they have to be here somewhere."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Zardu struck once more at the remaining orc.

Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Zardu moves towards the shaman to strike at hi.

Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Zardu slammed his scimitar into the enraged orc as his goddess helped him stay in the fight.
AOO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Confirmation Roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 9 = 15

Fervor: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Zardu was only a heartbeat behind Gudleifr.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

It's been a while but the orcs might have an injured sailor in here if I recall correctly.

Zardu goes further up the tower investing and searching.

Zardu mmoves to the fallen tower, he does not harass the orcs as they flee however stays vigilant in case they rally and launch a counter attack.

Zardu lashed out once more, striking at the same orc as Gudleifr.
Fervor on Self: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Power Attack Cold Iron Scimitar Vs Red Orc: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12
Confirmation Roll: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 1 = 10
Damage if a crit: 1d6 + 4 + 2 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + 12 = 23

Zardu channels divine energy to heal his wound before counter attacking.

Fervor on Self: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Power Attack Cold Iron Scimitar Vs Green: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 1 = 17Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

Seeing the orc off balance from his previous attack Zardu brings his blade down on the exact same spot... this time intentionally. He quickly repositions so he and Gudleifr could stand back to back.

Scimitar Vs Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Confirmation Vs Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 8 = 15

Zardu moves up to lock down more of the orcs in combat before they could harm anyone else. He slashes at one of the orcs as he approaches though his heart wasn't in the swing... if they broke and ran the fighting could end.

Scimitar Vs Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Works for me.

Zardu charges in alongside Gudleifr and tries to strike the same foe knowing how resilient orcs can be.

Charge Vs Archer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Before we storm in I'll ask Sarnrae to aid us in rescuing the prisoners."

I'll cast bless on as many of us and the NPCs as possible before things kick off. That should be a good few +1s

"I can't think of anything better that wouldn't be overly complicated or difficult. If they're going to lose I suspect they'll take the easy means of retreat rather than go for the prisoners... but there's no way to be certain."

Zardu will make sure to fill the barrel on the ship with water before setting out on the rescue mission.

"It could be useful in a few situations, if they arise I wouldn't object."

"We could head back to let the others know what we are up to in the mean time, if we're gone that long they'll probably start getting worried."

"I can spare fifteen, that should help a bit."

"Of course having held the tower before I imagine you know the lay out very well, maybe some secrets you know that they wouldn't." Zardu suggested, it would be good to know more about the area they'd be walking into.

"Knowing how orcs favour raiding and looting we'll find more during our rescue than that."

"It's worth investigating before something permanent happens to our halfling friend."

"I don't but if no one else can I have an idea. They're not attacking at least."

"Rav's point is well made. Besides there's no signs of blood or anything so if they were alive here they're keeping them alive for one reason or another."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Good news on the water front. When dawn comes I can ask Saranrae for her aid, I'll be able to ask her to grant us water. So the crew can take that off there minds, if we can find a suitable nearby source that would expedite things however. That will let us keep our primary focus on rescuing survivors."

Zardu helps Gudleifr anchor his more skillfully thrown rope.

Assist Gudleifr: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Strength Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

People have no doubt noted my posting rate going down, sorry about that. I have some health stuff going on but only short term. I'll try to keep up as best I can but bot me if needed.

Zardu tries to grab some stray ropes to throw to the halfling woman and sailors.

1d20+4

Sites borked, not rolling it for me

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Zardu does his best to help out and follow the captains orders but then the lightning bolt hits and he has to focus on grabbing onto some railings.

"I suppose the goblinoids could have a druid amongst their number that powerful... but even if natural it will be challenging."

Zardu gets a little nervous about the oncoming storm... but there's nothing much to be done about it.

Zardu will stay awake and alert until dawn. Once it comes he will greet the warm rays of Saranrae's glory before retiring to rest.

Zardu was conflicted pushing on through the night was foolish but the hobgoblins knew where they were and may return. He tried to gauge why the woman kept pressing them onwards despite the captain's recomendations.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Zardu fires a parting shot at hobgoblins which sails high into the air and rustles a few leaves harming exactly no one.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Once they start fleeing he holds his fire.

Sorry it's not updating me when there's new posts. Poke me if I'm holding things up though I'll try to remember to check more regularly.

** spoiler omitted **

Party up except for Zardu, You can see from the magical lights and torches about 8 hobgoblin like shapes and 3 large wolf shapes.

This had me a bit confused

Zardu casts shield of faith on himself.

If I have the time Zardu will try to cast bless... two minutes and all allies withing 50ft... should really help bot the PCs and the crew

Zardu kneels over as if to tie his shoelaces before checking over his gear and getting his bow ready. "There's a worg in amongst them too."

"Light might sometimes draw more attention but since our main concern is hobgoblins it's a moot point. If we spot a suspicious patch we can cast light on various projectiles to get a better idea of what's there."

Zardu strains his hearing exactly what she was complaining about.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

I'm fairly ready to move things on, not sure how much prep we can do off the top of my head other than getting used to the layout of the ship and staying alert.

"If the ambushes are on the same stretches of river we should make sure to pass there during the day. Night time would hamper us far more than any hobgoblins."

"I'm afraid I have no great experience with such large weapons. Do you think they'll be needed on this journey?"

Siege engines fall under an exotic weapon proficiency I think

His new goblin companion had seemed far more intelligent when they first met and worldly... but not so anymore. Perhaps it had just done it's best to imitate someone around their superior... he still seemed sincere.

Zardu keeps an eye out for anyone trying to sneak onto the ship... not that this was easy since he didn't know who was supposed to be there.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"I miss Tindertwig and Dirtbag Zardu simply nodded and headed off with the others.

"Hobgoblins again? I've got a sinking feeling. I wonder if other ships have been attacked or just these ones. Perhaps they seek the lumber for their construction project we uncovered."
