Lilella nods at the group, their ship should be in position by now(if it hadnt been waiting for a while already), she draws her bow to fire, aiming for the skipper:

Once everyone is onboard and in position, Smells signals with very basic hand gestures pointing to each person.

• Ed -> Helmsman (portside)
• Trent -> Helmsman (portside)
• Me -> Helmsman (starboard)
• Lilella -> Helmsman (starboard)
• Sagan -> ??? (Shrugs shoulders)
• Everyone -> Captain

He then signals Ed to sneak in with him 3...2...1...

If Ed goes with it and doesn't signal any complaint with the plan:

Lil' Edward

Damn goblin, now he gives orders... but Edward follows his plan after all.

He sneaks along Smells funny and strikes at the same time, trying to make the best out of surprise.

Here are the dice rolls I made for this turn.
http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showp...&postcount=446

I think we can only attack once, if it is a surprise attack, thats 1. And if it is not, we moved and attacked, so 1 too.

[Quakes]

Trent releases his arrow just as the small ones are striking with their blades.

(see previous post for rolls and such)

[crimson77]

The party launches into action as Lilella and Sagan reach the deck. Both Lilella and Trent fire at the skipper but only one arrow strikes him in the leg. He cries out in pain and the other arrow thuds harmlessly into the wheel. Edward jumps out and surprises one of the sailors and cuts him deeply into the back. The other sailor manages to side step Smells Funny's attack.

The sailors draw their long knives at their belts and prepare to fight. The skipper starts to ring a bell above the wheel signaling something is wrong.

One sailor swipes his knife toward Edward but misses him entirely. However, the other sailor swings his sword wildly but manages to cut into Smells Funny drawing blood [4 dmg].

Guessing a couple rounds passed while we waited for everyone to climb up, says 7 rounds left on my shield?

Seeing one of the sailors severely injured, Trent adjusts his aim towards that one. He steps back from the sailor that attacked him and points his finger at the injured man, releasing a small ball of dripping green acid.

Smells Funny: HP:3 AC:14

Being staggared from his failed parry, Smells is unable to land his first blow; however, a reposte from his left strikes deep into the mans thigh.

Throw down your weapons or die! Lilella yells above the clanging of the bell, continuing to aim at the skipper in hopes that the death of the leader would cause the sailors to surrender.

Sagan moves to flank the captain with Lilella.

You should listen to her, the mercies of my master are far less tender. I assure you that's where you're headed.

Taunting and haranguing hum to try and give Lilella an opening.

Lil' Edward

Edward sees how all their plan fails when he hears the bell "The bell... we are so stupid!"
He panickes with the imaginary image of dozens of angry sailors with swords.
We have to take control of the battlegorund! Shouts to the others. "Lilella try to take higher position! Climb a shroud or move to the quarter deck!"

Edward makes an acrobatic slide to move aways his enemy and aid Smells Funny, placing himself on the opposite side of his opponent so they both can confuse him and hit him easier.
He stabs him in the butt with his cutlass hoping to make him fall. "Down!"

[crimson77]

Edward tumbles behind the confused sailor and plunges his sword through the back of the man and the tip of the blade came out of his chest. The sailor fell limp and Edward can feel the weight of the dead body on his blade as it falls to the deck in a heap.

The skipper draws his cutlass and swings it at Edward ((1d20+3)[7] (1d6)[2]) but he swings wildly his sword only cutting through the air.

Despite the goblins attack on him, the other sailor continues to press on his attack as he fights for his life ((1d20+1)[6] (1d4)[2]) but he seems distracted and unable to land a hit on the goblin.

Sal leaps from the rear of the ship and carefully makes his way through the fighting and takes the wheel of the ship. He clangs the bell twice, hoping that is the signal for all is clear.

Lil' Edward

Edward takes his blade out of the saloir's body and faces the skipper as he sees Sal's bell signal. Nice thinking! I hope that works.
He flex his legs and takes a second to breathe before jumping to the skipper's face with both blades! "Grrrr!!!"

[crimson77]

Edward's blade cuts fast and deep; his first strike plunges into the skipper's leg, the other in to his arm. The skipper drops his sword and grips his leg, you can see a rush of blood filling the man's pants turning them red. Edward must have hit the right place and the man falls to the deck.

[AngelEyes23]

Lilella draws her bow, but the skipper falls to the deck. She focuses her bow on the remaining sailor, hoping he will drop his weapons and surrender, but she only gives him a moment or two to do so.

Lilella hits what she hopes to be a non-lethal area, still trying to encourage the crazed sailor to cease and desist.

Not wanting Edward to have all the fun, Smells continues his assault; and is able to drive his elgantly crafted cutlas up into the sailors lungs by way of his gut.

The second sailor falls to the ground in a bloody heap. Sal smiles at you as he hold the wheel and says, "Good job mates! Toss those bodies overboard and get ready to fight!"

Lilella and Trent spot one of the watchmen in the crows nest having woken up. He is standing squinting at you on deck trying to make out what happened. The bell must have woke him up (AC 11; HP 6)

XP: 300 - securing the deck and killing the guards

[AngelEyes23]

Trent, you're a better marksman than me, see if you can get a good shot of the watchman up there. Having faith in Trent's proven superoir ability (as much as the thought stings her pride), she turns to search the bodies, taking anything that might be useful and stuffing it in her pack before helping toss the bodies over. I'll sort these things out later.

Smells slices open the throats of the fallen sailors, ensuring their dearh. Then he turns to looting and pitching the bodies.

[Quakes]

Trent pulls his bowstring back, aiming at the man in the crow's nest, and calls up to him. He pitches his voice to carry upwards, while not projecting to the rest of the ship.

Stay where you are and keep your mouth shut, and you and the rest of the crew will remain unharmed!

Wild eyes scouring the deck, Sagan sees the wound on Smells and rushes over to see what his god intends to do about it.

The sailor in the crows nest shouts, "Pirates at the helm!!" but as he shouts you can see the your ship coming in on the port side of this ship out of the fog. He shouts again but you cannot understand what he is saying in his surprise. You can now see men coming out from below deck, still sleepy. You can also see the captain of this ship coming out on to the main deck too. Grappling hooks from your ship snag across the deck pulling the ships together until you feel the ships crashing into each other. Sal looks to you and says, "Kill or capture the captain before too many sailors die."

You can see the captain of this boat on the far side yelling at his sailors to protect the ship.

The arrow meant to silence the lookout thunks harmlessly into the mast, and his warning to the crew rings out into the night.

[AngelEyes23]

Lilella dashes to a higher section of the deck (the quarter deck) and prepares to fire down at the captain.

[ninthbit]

Just as Smells tosses the last man over he hears Sal call out about the captain. What!? That not the captain? Refering to the man he just disposed of. He pulls a dagger while he rushes to the railing to throw it at the captain below, but just as he releases it from his sheeth the blood covering his hands causes it to slip free and fall to the maindeck.

The fighting on the deck continues, you see several men on both sides being cut down, then your captain shouts out in a loud booming voice, "Lay down your weapons, you are out numbered! I know most of you are freeman sailors, we have no fight with you. Surrender your captain and we will give you safe passage." Some of the men stop fighting and drop their weapons on the deck. Soon the fight is over and the ship's captain is running on the deck and moving up to the ship's wheel where you are waiting. Captain Whitebeard shouts to you, "Capture him!!"

[Quakes]

Reacting quickly, Trent pulls a pinch of sand out of his belt and blows it into the enemy captain's face. The captain begins to feel drowsy, and has to fight to remain awake.

Hoping that he's small enough; and that with the poor light and his failed dagger throw, he'll go unnoticed by the captain. Smells, tucks up close to the railing for the captain to pass. As the puff of powder hits the captains face, Smells tries to hobble the man by slashing at the back of his knee. But the captain is moving to quickly and smells misses his opportunity.
