Lucky's grin widens as he somersaults behind Irontusk in an attempt to flank him with Sir Thomas.
"Such nice crafstmanship burning all around us...this is why we can't have nice things!"
Lucky swings in a wide arc as he positions himself on the other side of Irontusk.
Lucky- As you attempt to tumble past Irontusk, his dagger strikes out, , stabbing you for damage. None the less, you get behind him and manage to land a telling blow.
Sapphire-Your turn
Sapphire-I'll need a concentration check to cast the spell while treading water DC 16
Sir Thomas, Lucky and Sapphire get a +1 to their attacks and saves vs fear.
Joryn-Still running
Irontusk turns towards Lucky , and among the flames and smoke burning your eyes and over the sounds of the crackling flames and sound of mooring lines parting, he takes a demonic appearance, actully the whole scene takes on a hellish appearance. With a insane look in his eye, he yells, "I'm going to use your skull as a goblet, halfling!" He then attacks, , but the gods of luck seem to be on Lucky's side and he dodges the blow.
Sir Thomas-Your turn (don't forget the +2 for flanking and +1 for bless).
"Stay strong my friends Pelor and the gods of good are with us!"
As Sir Thomas attempts to throw a haymaker at Irontusk, another burning piece of the barge roof hits him , distracting him. Meanwhile, Irontusk stabs his blade at Sir Thomas, wounding him for points of damage. With a grunt, Sir Thomas falls to the deck bleeding, never having landed his blow.
Sir Thomas-
Luciano -You can see down the street towards the docks. By the rising smoke, appearantly a fire has begun. Give me a perception check.
"oh no Sir Thomas has fallen I had better help him!"
While in the water, Sapphire manages to pull herself alongside the barge and reaches up and touches one of Sir Thomas's hands that had extended past the gunwale. She prays to Pelor and despite being rather wet, choking on the smoke and being mindful of the flames, she manages to get her spell off. Unseen by her due to her position, , or Irontusk as he turns towards Lucky, Sir Thomas's eyes open with a flutter.
Sir Thomas-
Luciano takes off down towards the pier at a sprint.
Luciano-You believe you see the hulking form of Irontusk on a burning barge to the side of the pier, you're not 100% sure that's it's him, due to the smoke, but you're pretty sure it's him. He seems to have finished with something and is turning away from the direction you're coming from.
Lucky-Your turn
Lucky looks back at Irontusk after hearing his threat. "A goblet huh? Maybe you should stop WINE-ing about it and do it!"
Sapphire-Your turn
Briefly thrusting herself out of the water, Sapphire slaps Lucky on the ass while casting her spell. Lucky, you rather enjoy that spanking.
Irontusk grunts when he sees Lucky get healed, then grunts even lounder as the roof of the barge collapses and a large piece of flaming wood strikes him in the back. He looks at Lucky and shouts, "You like getting touched by your whore girlfriend so much huh? Why don't you join her." He jumps to the next barge, quaffs something he pulls from his belt and beckons to Lucky, "Come on runt, I still want my goblet" he says with an evil grin.
The whole barge is aflame and by the buckling of the barge the fire appears to be affecting it's ability to stay afloat.
Sir Thomas-your turn
Badly burned and wounded Sir Thomas manages to crawl off the barge o'death onto the pier.
Luciano-You've reached the pier, at it's end you see Sir Thomas crawl off a flame engufed barge that is giving off copious amount of smoke. By the shouts of "fire" from behind you others have begun to notice the fire as well. Hopefully people will come to fight the fire as it is beginning to spread to the pier.
You believe you see Lucky, still on the flaming barge and through the dense smoke to the barge beyond it, you believe you see Irontusk. Of Sapphire, there is no sign. It's your turn.
"This would have been so much easier in the old days!", Luciano mutters to no one in particular. With that he looks about for a boat-hook or something similar, possibly even some rope, to help Lucky get off of the barge. He will also be looking to see Sapphire anywhere. "Don't worry little ones, we can find that plague of a half-orc later, and so much the worse for him when we do."
Luciano- You can easily find a plank or some rope to reach to Lucky with. I'll need a perception check to notice Sapphire though.
Lucky- Your turn, jump ship or get burned.
"I'm out like Irontusk in a beauty contest!" Lucky jumps across to the pier where Luciano is standing. "Help Sapphire!" He points her out in the water.
Luciano- you see Sapphire treading water inbetween the two barges, shes just about at the corner closest to the dock.
Sapphire-You can see the others on the dock, the seem to be encouraging yoy to head towards them. You're not sure where Irontusk is. It is your turn.
Joryn comes running up. He has a bag in his hand. "We...can't let... the.. son of swine.. get away" he pants. And then he throws the bag at Irontusk. The bag bursts upon hitting Irontusk, and quickly hardens, adhearing his feet to the barge.
Irontusk eyes widen and he screams "Nooo" as the tanglefoot bag hits him. "damm you dwarf" he screams,"but this isn't gong to hold me." He thrashes mightly but fails to win loose. He then starts scraping at the goo entangling his feet
"That's...not going to hold... him long" pants Joryn. "We need to... figure out how... to get to him."
Furiously treading water, Sapphire lashes her whip at the barge, snagging a cleat. She turns towards the pier, and attempts to swim to it. However due to the chop created by the sinking barge she only makes it a few feet before she is overcome by the waves. Just before her head disappears below the surface of the water she throws the end of her whip, which lands on the end of the pier, and you hear her faintly sputter "catch".
While you are not entirely sure of her purpose, it does occur to you that since the barge Irontusk is on isn't moored to anything anymore, given a sufficient application of strength, it can be brought to the pier or at least several feet closer.
Sir Thomas-Your turn
Well, I'm guessing Sir Thomas is on vacation, so Luciano it's your turn.
Well, it looks like both Sir Thomas and Luciano are indisposed, so Lucky it's your turn.
Lucky attempts to snatch Luciano's crossbow and fire it at Irontusk. "Stop sleeping and DO something!"
Failing to grab it from his hands, Lucky tries to cut off the half-orc at the pass and starts running to get there.
Luciano snaps out of a very bad memory and almost on instinct raises his crossbow and fires at Irontusk.
damage if i hit.
He then begins to look towards getting Sapphire out of the water.
