Qianal Ai
Paladin (Oath of the Crown) 4 / Barbarian 1 | HP 40/40 | AC: 20 | Concentration: RAGE, AGAIN

Qianal blocks the blows of the other dragonborn with his shield, with both of the attacks bouncing off the shield. The paladin knew he had drained his ability to call upon the wrath of the divine elements by attacking the leviathan, but he could not fight Song Ning without some burst of power.

Do it, I know you want to.

Rage washed over Qianal, and the dragon roared as he brought his sword up against the other longyi. "TONIGHT, YOU DIE, MASTER OF BEING DEAD!"

Your insults need work.

Raging again to attack Song Ning.

Qianal makes a bad joke aout Song Ning calling himself Master of Death.

Aya Re Fifth level sorcerer HP: 39/39 AC: 15 Concentrating on: -- Myboatmyboatmyboat, Aya thinks to herself, almost in a panic. She had to come up with a way to salvage it. Hopefully the kraken was finally done beating on it. She looks at the little kobold warrior next to her, however the dragonborn's battle cry distracts her. She flies across the deck, pulling out her diamond as she does so. Focusing her will through the diamond, she launches a small orb of energy toward the enemy dragonborn. As it sails close to him, a thunderous boom rocks the surface of the ship. Spoiler: OOC Show Chromatic Orb at 3rd level -- Damage type Thunder Attack roll: (d20+6)[18] for (5d8)[34] damage

[Felhammer]

Song Ning laughs in his enemy's face, "HA! Your retort is as awkward and as clumsy as your fighting style. You are a drunken monkey compared to me - a master. I would train you in my fighting style! Abandon these foolish peasants. Join me and the Night Mother! It is the destiny of all Longyi to be united under her rule! It is as inevitable as the sunrise. Submit, take your place at my side! We shall rule this city as warrior brothers!" As he finishes his little speech, the hulking dragon-man leaps up and brings his axe down on Qianal's left shoulder. he follows this vicious attack up with a swift thrust into the dragonborn's gut.

Meanwhile, the kobolds continue to attack their enemies. One of the Goutou Ren fighting Guiren ducks low and drives his dagger into the petjar's foot, while his partner lunges into the air with a back flip, raking Guiren's cheek! The Goutou ARen warrior dives into the ship via the hole left by the kraken's visious assault. As he dives in he yells, "What an idiot! He let me down here! Ha!" The kobold battling Jiafa zig zags around and quickly slices the tiefling's thigh. The final Goutou Ren grabs some rope that is tied to the mast. He quickly wraps it around his arm, then in a single motion pushes off the side of the mast and swings around Xingxing, slashing him in the right arm, as the kobold swoops over the gaping wound in the ship.

Guiren

Qianal, hang on! Guiren yells as Sing Nong draws blood. Noticing his distraction, the goutou ren in the stairwell flips nimbly over Guiren into the hole the kraken had made, What an idiot! He let me down here! Ha! Guiren snarls, What's down there?! The other goutou ren stabs his foot as Guiren peers below deck, Ahh! He growls and lashes back with his axe.

If W4 dies from the first attack, then Guiren will leap to M14 and Attack 2 will be against SN. If that requires a roll, I rolled previously or we can take new rolls as well, whichever you prefer Fel:

Advantage from Rage, so pick better of two: (1d20+8)[28], (1d20+8)[28]

She yells over to the kobolds, "Hey, numbskulls! Your source of beer is in trouble over there!!"

"YOU DARE refuse me!?" furiously screams Song! A dark smile washes over the man's face, "I will teach you the price for such betrayal." The blue dragonborn whirls around and brutally brings his mighty axes down upon the diminutive Conkhi, not once but twice.

Meanwhile, one kobold positions himself behind Jiafa, and then rakes at the tiefling's calf! The kobold who managed to dive below deck quietly moves out of sight. The last Goutou Ren still active takes his dagger and plunges it into Aya's throat!

Aya Re Fifth level sorcerer HP: 39/39 AC: 15 Concentrating on: -- Aya's eyes narrow in frustration as she misses the dragonborn. Additionally, she had been so focused on smiting Song Ning that she had floated down low enough for a goutou ren to take a swipe at her.

Raising her right hand to her choker again and clasping the emerald, she lashes out with her left, and a bolt of fire jump toward the longyi.

The hits would have dropped him if he wasn't so accustomed to fighting. He saw the great axe coming and moved back just an inch. A swift reaction that saved his life. The whole situation was making his blood boil. This stupid ship and these stupid gotou ren and most of all this annoying Longyi! Xing tumbles to his right, towards his large badger companion, and sheaths his sword in the process. He raises both his hands up at the Longyi disgrace in front of him, those around could begin to feel a heat sweltering around the area where Xing stood. Wind began to pick up flowing towards Xingxings palms before finally a burst of fire fans out of them and towards Song Ning as well as anything around him!

Xing casts a fire spell, igniting the mast, turing it into a massive, flaming tree-sized bonfire!

In the glow of the flaming mast, Song Ning chortles with glee, "Foolish fools! I AM SONG NING, He locks his gaze on Aya, "DESTROYER OF THE HOPELESS!" He rears his axe back and assaults the poor sorceress!

Meanwhile, the kobold harassing Jiafa ducks low, slides around the warlock and shanks the tiefling in his lower back. The Goutou Ren near Aya grabs a rope attached to the mast and uses it to swing around to interpose himself between Qianal and Song Ning. The kobold laughs merrily as he yells, "YOU'RE DEAD!" The kobold then drives his dagger into the dragonborn's foot!

Guiren can hear loud mechanical clanking from below deck....

This is quickly followed up by a thunderous "CRACK" as a six foot long bolt is launched from the deck below, right into the poor petjar!

Despite Guiren's savage attacks, the longyi continues to assault the others. He lunges at Aya, and strikes her with his axe. Guiren cries out in horror as her body goes limp and falls to the deck, Aya!! His cry is punctuated by a loud cranking sound, followed by a deafening snap. The deck near Guiren explodes as a ballista bolt smashes through from below. Guiren cries out as the thing nearly impales him. The damage to the ship is grave, but to the petjar it is superficial. He shakes off sawdust and wood chips from the debris and roars, bringing his glowing axe to bear once again against the longyi Sing Nong.

With but a whimper, Song Ning thunderously collapses onto the deck. The kobolds below deck and above deck - the ones who are actually fighting and not running around like chickens with their heads cut off - throw up their hands and says, "We surrender to the Slayer of Princes! They prostrate themselves before Xing, "All hail the great and powerful... Uhhh.... Slayer... Killer... Monkey-Man!"

Aya Re Fifth level sorcerer HP: 1/39 AC: 15 Concentrating on: -- Aya watches the chaos break out as the kobolds begin running all over the place. She covers her eyes with her hands and takes a deep breath. "Oh, ancestors, what have I done to deserve this?" She looks over the chaos one more time before alighting upon the deck. She reaches out toward one mast that is aflame, then closes her hand into a fist. As she does so, the fire suddenly snuffs, a small amount of smoke still coming off the mast, but otherwise no sign of flame. She walks around the deck putting out fires in a similar fashion. One who looks closely notes a small look of annoyance on her face, as putting out fires seems very counter to her normal mode of doing things. Spoiler: OOC Show Using Control Flames to repeatedly put out fires small enough to do so (less than a 5' cube).
