I'm going last, so I assume DuMoire is going to retreat into that corner, to avoid being flanked. If and when he does so, I'll cast Stabilise on Rondu. Unless I see someone else taken down with a goodly blow before then.
It sucks to be declaring actions at the start of the round, when you're going last. As last active healer, everything I do is conditional on the next three actions.
Best to ask me again, when it gets to me.
Du Moire swings at Hagruk twice ...
Attack - MISS
Attack - MISS
Du Moire then retreats.
Fendrel steps forward swings and hits the pirate captain.
Augusto leaps onto the platform, moves past Hagruk and attacks. He too draws blood against Du Moire.
Hagruk turns and casts a lifesaving spell on Rondu.
Next round begins !
Augusto, Seeing his quarry weaken, moves in for the kill
" Your actions today are unforgivable! Erastil has tried and Measured you, He Demands your Blood!"

Fendrel continues to advance upon DuMoire, grinning madly and swinging savagely. The fighter knows his opponent is beat; it's now just a matter of time.
Du Moire slashes at Fendrel ...

Augusto hits!
Fendrel misses.
Hagruk taps Du Moire on the shoulder. The bloodied pirate captain lets out a blood-curdling shriek, then collapses dead.
"Did we win? Thanks for the healing. I could use another one of those, if you have it to spare.
"Just strip him here. Keep him closer to the water so we can just dump him in," Fendrel grunts.
Rondu gets up and down another healing potion.
"I guess if we're lootin', we won. It's a bad day when you're on the wrong side a that."
Rondu walks over to the fallen pirate and checks for obvious signs of life.
"Is he dead or just close? He might give us good information if we can keep 'im alive." Either way, Hagruck's right about getting 'im outta sight."
Rondu observers the sceanery and other boats slowly drifting by, then looks around for an obvious way to stop the boat's progress.
"Anybody know how to stop this wreck or at least steer it? We should probably do sumpin' afore we crash."
Healing Potion:
Healing Potion: 1d8 + 1
Du Moire seems quite dead.
The ship has barely left port.
There is an anchor on the deck.
An irregular thumping sound can be heard below decks.
Rondu heaves the anchor over the side, then walks back over to the dead pirate.
"Let's go check out the thumpin' below decks. Might be a prisoner trying to get our attention. We can check it out when we drag Dufus down there.
"Augusto, you grab his feet, I'll grab his arms."
"Fendrel, open the door for us, would ya?"
"Hagruk if you have some healing to spare, this might be a good time. I feel pretty good, but I think Fendrel could use a shot of the good stuff."
Another dull thud is heard.
With Augusto's help, Rondu carries the dead pirate toward the open door of the hold. While facing forward and carrying the body behind him, Rondu cautiously descends the stairs, scanning the area and preparing to kick anything that might jump out at him.
Below decks, the dimly-lit hold has taken on a foot of brackish bilge water. A small whale-oil lamp mounted on the lower mast provides dim lighting. The cavernous hollow contains dozens of water-damaged crates roped in neat stacks secured tightly to the sidewalls. The remaining portion of the hold is set up as common room with hammocks, an open larder, and a small kitchen. Toward the bow there is a wooden door, sodden,swelled shut and held fast with thick black chains.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Fendrel says quietly, trying to keep his voice from being overheard by whatever might be behind the door. "We still don't know why the fish-men attacked us. Might have something to do with that door."
Rondu drops his end of the body in the nearest flat(ish) space then begins searching the hold.
"Let's take a look around down here to see if we can't turn up the tablets. A don't like the idear of openin' them chains if'n we don't have ta. You don't use chains like that for an regular guy."
Search:
A brief search turns up nothing of interest or value.
*WHUD*
Something shoves against the chained door.
"I'll have to agree with our round friend here, Thats no normal way to keep someone put...."
Augusto nervously keeps his hand on the hilt of his blade
Fendrel walks over to the chained portal and responds with a full-fisted hammering on the door. "The pirates are dead - who are you?" he yells. Looking back at his companions, he mouths, The chains have held this long, right?
"Yeah Fendrel - I was thinkin' of doin' the same thing."
Rondu searches the Du Moire's body for a key of some type that might unlock the chains on the door.
"Let's see if our buddy here has a key to them chains."
Search (take 20): 20
Fendrel walks over to the chained portal and responds with a full-fisted hammering on the door. "The pirates are dead - who are you?" he yells. Looking back at his companions, he mouths, The chains have held this long, right?
Nobody answers Fenrel's call.
Rondu searches the Du Moire's body for a key of some type that might unlock the chains on the door.
You find a key that would likely fit the lock.
[ooc]Is the ship on a tilt?
The ship is level.
"I found a key. Ya want I should open the lock?"
Augusto readys his blade for whatever may come through the door
Open it, let us see what is banging on the door

The black chains fall away, sploshing into the water. Soon the thing behind the door pushes the door open, revealing the horror within. A crowd of pale, bloated people with slit throats stand about aimlessly. They see you and hiss.
Only one lacedon (undead) can attack through the doorway at a time. The two PCs in the front rank can both attack through the doorway. In addition, PCs in the back rank can attack with missile or reach weapons.
But beware, the lacedons will try to push through the doorway!
Round 1 :
Augusto and Fendrel miss.
Rondu stays on the defensive.
The lacedon attacks Rondu ...
Attack - MISS
Hagruk stabs and hits!
Round 2 begins !
"That was probably not the best idea I've had today."
Rondu unstraps his quarterstaff and stikes at the shambling horror in the doorway.
"There no way I'm touchin' that thing with my bare hands. Eat wood, ugly!"
