Huzzzzzah!!!!!

It's fast. Robert Redshirt lunges at Emrael and.....touches her.
she takes
in damage as painful spasms wrack throughout her body......
nothing else seems to be happening down here in the hold, but this crazy sailor who is on and on about "swallowing your soul," and vomiting black applesauce all about.
Group's attack!!!!!
Altai:
heh heh.....
yeah man; join in whenever it suits your fancy, man.
Sure that one of the creatures Altai spoke of has inhabited the man, Emrael opts to try to knock him out rather than kill him. She attacks until he falls unconscious.
"*gasp* Don't let the possessed ones touch you, Satari. It's most painful."
She hits the host body 3 times, and she's pretty sure he should've gone down especially with that final chop to the knee.
It's still up though.
Still intent on swallowing souls.
spoiler for self:
Man.
So sweet to be able to homage on Evil Dead 2 sorta.
...
The flock of batwinged things flies out of Altai's stationary spell, and seems to veer around it.
...
Altai makes a beckoning gesture at the cinder-filled cloud. In defiance of physics and meteorology, it changes course and shape, oozing back into the maelstrom of winged bodies. He then grabs a plain-looking rod hanging from his belt and casts another spell...
Heathy:
Don't notice anything with the undeath to death spell.
The cloud moves, though, and you see a few of the dark shadowy things fall into the water below.
Altai:
It's clanging around. Then, with a few clicks, dozens of small holes open on the sides.
A torrent of roaches starts pouring from all of the holes.
Pip lands in the hold of the ship, while Zippy alights next to him
"Got any good ideas on dealing with that guy?" He jabs a thumb at the Applesauce Redshirt Man
Zippy shrugs
"Beats me boss, got any tunage?"
Pip ponders
"Yep. Get me close"
Zippy grabs Pip and flys towards Em and Redshirt. Pip then begins playing a loud song
Details:
"Graaaaaaah!!! That's not music!!!"
screams the Redshirt, possessed by......whatever it is.
Satari and Altai's menagerie are up to bat....
bump
I reckon you can do something if you want; the "Old One possession" isn't timed or anything.
Satari moves to flank with the Kensai, flowing like water around Mr. Redshirt and around behind the possessed being.
He's salvageable. He's just possessed.
It's a dybbuk!
All the signs are there.
Satari pummels the Redshirt in the back of the head, and he sould've been knocked out.
He's as conscious as any puppet needs to be, at the behest of Svengali's strings.
Gjetost and Claw are up to bat.
Elgantree shakes, and the black leaves fall from his form, replaced by the usual mottled green and brown canopy of his treant form.
"WHAAA'LL. DAT WUZ UNPLEASANT,..." Elgantree rumbles.
The druid raises his leafy arms, and there is a response from the skies, A strangely echoing, oddly hollow sounding response, but a response nonetheless.
An enormous tornado appears in the center of the stream of black, flying figures, spinning and pulling them in until the whirlwind itself is black.
Well I guess Altai's busy moving IRL. I'll figure out what to do to get this show on the road in the next couple hours probably.
It's....been a week.....I gotta get my crap together.
Elgan's summoned tornado starts sucking the medium svelte black nightbaunts into its vortex. The flock isn't totally destroyed, but it's busy now.
Nonetheless, the ones that have reached the ship start harassing the sails and rigging..........
Next, Claw and Gjetost come up on the redshirt dybbuk host; they don't have enough movement to attack though.
Altai:
** spoiler omitted **
I guess I'm dmpc'ing whatever was going on here; it's all good, don't need to worry about it.
What happens next is senses shattering to say the least.
The ship points stem straight up in the air like the Titanic before it took the final plunge.
"Down" is now "RIGHT" on the map i.e. the back of the ship.
Everybody falls to the new floor; I'm just going to leave it in this dimension I think.....
Elgan's at AL AM 31-32.
Emrael's at AM 46.
Pip, by way of his winged compatriot, stays put.
The Redshirt stays put as well, standing sideways as if levitating on the "wall" that was the deck for some reason.
Dok is ? tumbling off the deck and away as the ship lists straight upward.
Satari is ? Claw and Gjetost, being kinda high on the BMI scale, crash through the walls and plummet downward. Satari tumbles after them, and in an unSatarilike display, plummets through the hole created by Claw's fall and widened by Gjetost's plummeting armor clad body.
Altai was in the aft cabin; he's ? at the moment
(i.e. in the middle of moving to Phoenix irl and thus busy with other things for the nonce).
So we're down to Emrael, Elgan and Pip at the moment.......
Group's attack!!!
Everybody just rotate their computer screen 90 degrees to the right because I can't figure out how to rotate this map really.
HUZZZAH!
She will try once more to knock the man unconscious.
"Leave him, spirit. I'm right here."
Em hits all three times; no critical.
I guess you can crit with a nonlethal attack; Mike Tyson did anyway.
self spoiler:
"Hee hee hee!!! Your little pigsticker tickles me, wench!"
Says the possessed, now thoroughly pummeled Redshirt.
Pip, Elgan up.
Oh, and.....not quite yet, but soon I'll need a perception roll for Pip, Emrael, and MAYBE Elgan,.......this'll depend on where he is at the time;
if you want to bank those bad boys go ahead.
I'll reveal what it is when the time comes.
huzzzzah!!!
Pip pulls out a scroll and reads off a short phrase
Lemme do some checkin.

I need a f%+*in remove curse in real life.
Meh....I'm going to dm fiat that it works somewhat; it's not really a "curse" per se.
That guy slumps to the ground. He's still "stuck to the wall."
The dybbuk's still in there, but the remove curse spell works like a paralysis spell for him.
You're now a positive energy ghoul for a little while, Pipmeister.
Elgan.....
Elgan's nowhere about. So, since he's up above on the deck, I'll get this here below decks foofaraw rolling again.
The possessed redshirt is "lieing down on the wall" in place; he's paralyzed for all intensive porpoises.
Now the reveal of the perception.....at AH 47, a little bat flaps to there, and then turns into a beauteous battlemaid in black breastplate wielding a bastard sword; she's on the side of the mast, so Pip can't pelt her with arrows without moving some. Again, she's standing on the deck, which is now the "wall" for you guys, since up has changed as the ship stood straight up like the sinking titanic. She's standing there though like it's the floor for her.
Your perception, though, beat her stealth, so turning from a bat into a battlemaid is pretty much her attack for this round.
Pip and Emrael's attack again.
Elgan and Altai can show up whenever IRL dictates it's doable.
Sorry this fight is kinda juddery; I like the encounter, though, so I figured I'd make some weird adjustments on the fly and keep her going, and whenever those two can show up I'll get them involved somehow.
She is the blue square marked "FH."
She has a gnarly black bastard sword, that looks like it belongs on a Metalocalypse cover or cartoon.
Emrael casts Mirror Image to create duplicates of her.
"Ha ha! Art thou wizard or swordswoman or twain them both?" says the new girl, in some antiquated forebear of the Oerth's common tongue.
Her eyes seem to glow somewhat; red light.
Pip.....
Holy s$&*! Six mirror images!
So much for my insecurities about loading too much onto two players,....
heh heh.....
