On 12: A store of something, most likely cooking oil has reached a critical point, and a thunderous explosion pounds the ship like the kick of a giant. Only resting on the sea bottom supports the ship enough to keep you all from being tossed into the air.
Fire is spreading rapidly now, and panic spreads among the survivors on the deck. Many scramble to simply throw themselves overboard to get away from the flames.
On 10: Meanwhile, the half-giant lashes out with his meaty fist, doing massive damage to the face of his target Sahuagin, but in his zeal, his guard slips down, and he takes another stinging trident jab, this time to his side.
The Shaman looks at Beren, but then turns and says something unkown to the shifter. The fishmen start attacking patrons left on the ship as a huge explosion rocks the deck. Fire starts spreading, and Beren lets out a growl from his failed attempt at diplomacy.
"Fine" he says to himself, "If you want blood, then you shall have it." Beren brings up his bow, reaches behind him and grabs an arrow. Notching the arrow and pulling the end to his ear, he closes one eye and adjusts to the wind and the shaking of the boat. "The Sovereigns guide me. May The Devourer drag you back into the sea." With a quick breath, he releases the arrow targeting the shaman.
Beren growls and slams the rail with his fists as he sees the arrow fly past the shaman once again. He looks behind him noticing Brick standing there dumbfounded. "Brick" Beren growls once again, "Gently put her down, and use that club to smash those fishmen."
Raustikin feels the claws of anger rise inside of him; tired of being jaunted around, the groans of death, burning flesh and the scent of explosions and magic assult, he stands, lifts his sword and hacks at the nearest scaly creature he can find. Beren has shown him the way - revenge has begun.
Ruuz looks out over the sea to the lone sea devil waving his arms again. Ruuz raises his crossbow and trains it on the creatures chest and lets loose.

Special Notes for this round: Enough activity has been pointed at him that everyone has spotted the druid in the water. Also, the fire has raised the temperature on deck sufficiently that anyone taking a full round action, a move and standard, or a double move action needs to make a DC 12 fortitude save or take 1 point of non-lethal damage.
Finally, glancing around you see that of the 200+ people that were on the boat 30 seconds ago, only 50 or so are left.
“They were looking for someone,” thinks Valessa. “Looking for someone, couldn’t find them, started killing people … but it appears they don’t want to – kill them. It’s that one out in the water telling them to kill them!”
She stands, turns, and fires at the shaman – the strange calm returned, mixed with a sudden steely determination.
As the arrow flies, Valessa suddenly recalls something, someone she had noticed earlier – the notorious arms dealer, Barhos Zephuly. Were the sahuagin after him? Not waiting to see if her arrow flies true, she turns to scan the deck in the direction she had previously noticed the fat man.
As she turns, she is hit by a wave of intense heat from the nearby fire. “Damn. I have to get off this boat,” she mutters.
Beren growls and slams the rail with his fists as he sees the arrow fly past the shaman once again. He looks behind him noticing Brick standing there dumbfounded. "Brick" Beren growls once again, "Gently put her down, and use that club to smash those fishmen."
Brick sets the dancer down on a relatively safe section of the deck, and turns toward a pair of sahuagin that have just cleared the railing.
The lead fishman stops in his tracks when he sees the seven-foot tall, club-wielding warforged plodding towards him.
Brick stops and stares at the sahuagin.
The sahuagin stares back at Brick.
Suddenly, the sahuagin makes its move. Lunging towards the giant ceramic man, it shrieks and raises its trident for a killing blow.
Brick lets out a bellow of surprise, raising his arms to cover his face. He has forgotten that he has been clutching his club with both of his massive, three-fingered fists.
The warforged jerks the giant steeel bar straight up, much as an angler would set a hook in a fish. Brick's club catches the fishman across the jaw, snapping its neck and flipping it over Brick's head. The sahuagin lands in a crumpled heap about twenty feet away, its trident clattering on the decking.

The Sahuagin Shaman screams in agony is the arrow pierces his arm, for a moment his concentraition seems to falter, and he almost loses his balance.
Valessa Spot DC 15, everyone else spot DC 20
"What in the name of the Host? Oh, crud... I really need to get off this boat."

** spoiler omitted **
Brick isn't paying attention, as he is trying desperately to figure out what the hell is going on around him.

Brick's amaxing lacluster and remarkably luck shot managed to catch the newly promoted leader of the forward party under the chin, snapping his neck, and launching him off the side of the ship and into the water again.
On 18: The forward party is now in complete disarray, surrounded by the wounded half-giant, Brick and Raustikin, they attampt to break out of the cage.
Two press their attack on the half-giant, one managing to surpass his defenses.
One attacks Brick: To Hit 2+4 = 6
The other attacks Raustikin: To hit 3+4 = 6
After their attacks, all four sahuagin attempt to leap over the rail. Attacks of opportunity for Raustikin and Brick. The giant misses his...
On 16: The leader of the aft party seems to find who they have been looking for in a man whose legs are crushed and useless trapped beneath one of the fallen masts. The Sahuagin group leader begins screaming, “Tessik, oo shidai as nahol ruta, golin nehol. Sada Nohuul koi nahalost!”
While raising his spear over his head. In response to his screaming, the tip of the spear bursts into a sickly green flame.
Rokko decides its time for the little guy to make a stand. Well, attack from a well-hidden position. He fires his crossbow at the fishman that Beren flailed at.

On 12: The fire continues to spread, the heat gradually growing more intense. Apparently the damage to the hull is growing severe as you begin to hear moaning and creaking rising from the timbers.
On 10: The half-giant looms over the rail, looking at the Sahuagin who have jumped off the ship and shakking his fist. It is apparent that every movement causes him great pain.
Beren starts feeling the intense heat, and realizes that he should get Valessa off of this ship. He fires another arrow at the shaman.
Seeing his shot finally hit true, Beren growls in satisfaction, then says, first looking at the half-giant, "Don't worry about them, get off the ship." Then to Brick, "Brick, jump in the water and walk to shore." Then to Valessa, and he raises his voice hoping that everyone else will hear, "We have to get off of this ship."

Beren's arrow flys straight and true, striking the Sahuagin to the high left side of his chest... where fortune intervenes and the tip skips off a buckle of his armor.

"Wouldn't it be better if I carried people off of the boat? I could help."

As the arrow flies, Valessa suddenly recalls something, someone she had noticed earlier – the notorious arms dealer, Barhos Zephuly. Were the sahuagin after him? Not waiting to see if her arrow flies true, she turns to scan the deck in the direction she had previously noticed the fat man.
Looking around for the recognizable garish clothing of Barhos Zephuly, you find him, or at least what is left of him, currently dripping off the forecastle deck from a messy puddle under the remains of the foremast.
Raustikin, confused and angry, looks around. His little hairs are getting singed, which is painful even if it is not technically hurting him. He sees the fishmen have taken an interest in someone on the aft.

Anyone can reach the spear wielding, impending coupe de grace, Sahuagin with no more than a DC 5 balance check.
Ruuz reloads his crossbow as Raustikin charges the Sahuagin with the flaming trident. Ruuz trains his crossbow on the shamean in the water and fires.
The heat from the deck slams into Ruuz like a solid wall, 'Time to get out of here.' Ruuz quickly takes a look around as the smoke and heat sting his eyes and starts heading towards one of the mooring lines leading off the boat.

You forgot your BANE effect
You forgot your BANE effect
The +2 attack bonus is offset by the -2 for being 20 feet past crossbow range increment.
damage was 1d8(7) + 2(bane) + 2d6(bane)(4+5)
7+2+4+5 = 18
That should be right.

The shaman screams in anguish and pain as your cursedly effective bolt sinks deep into his chest.
On 3: Several of the serving girls, including Heavenly, begin jumping over the rail into the water.
On 2: The minotaur bleeds on the deck a bit.

Special Notes for this round: The fire has raised the temperature on deck sufficiently that anyone taking a full round action, a move and standard, or a double move action needs to make a DC 13 fortitude save or take 1 point of non-lethal damage.
The shaman waves his arms to the sky and lightning courses down, Ruuz jumps to the side but a smaller bolt stabs through him and his muscles spasm and his cloths start to smoke. The smell of burn flesh and ozone fill the air. Ruuz's last thought passes though his pain filled mind, 'Well I don't think I will have to worry about those cursed Canniths anymore.'
