Pirates of the Dragon Isles(IC)

Marcus

"I ain't sacrificing m'self fer ye Ulfgar. I know what I can an' can't do, an' I can't beat a man like Claw in a straight up fight." Marcus angrily replies. "That bein' said, I don't like our new cap'n, all I ever heard from him was orders an' complaints back when he was only first mate, He's sure to be worse now." Marcus begins gesturing in a manner only slightly different from as in the battle, speaking an incantation whose only comprehensible part is "Rage of freedom" suddenly a badger, with skin tinted somewhere between that of the creatures he had summonned before and that of the dogs summonned by the (priestess?), appears where Marcus had been standing moments before and viciously attacks Claw.

"Claws of bone rise from the ribs of your rage, rend those would wish death where you do not damn, who seek your power as their pride," Tulek's voice says, his body still impossible to see. As the sentence completes, there is a flash of magic and a skeletal warrior rakes at Tails' demonic visage.

Round 2

Grish steps up and begins to pummel Claw. His first attempt makes contact, but he slips in Riddle's blood and the second attempt doesn't manage to hit the Captain.

From the galley, Marcus sends for a giant wooden small chaotic badger which takes Claw by surprise, as the badger nips at his hindquarters. Karos swings at Claw, but misses as Claw yelps and flinches from the badger bite.

Thunk Chunk manages an exceptional blow against Tails. The vicious slash from the hobgoblin's greatsword slices diagonally across the demonic first mate spraying green blood all over the hold. Tails staggers backward away from Thunk Chunk and then unleashes a pair of magical missiles against Thunk Chunk{{ 7 damage }}.

Tulek's invisible disembodied voice summons forth a skeleton which instantly attacks the first mate, clawing the last remaining bits of consciousness from him. Tails collapses in a pool of his own blood.

The halfling pirate attempts to stab Thunk Chunk in the back of the leg, but is too distracted by the spray of blood from Tails and his attack glances off Thunk Chunk's armor. Gramps continues to corner Tennin and tries to smash in the cleric's skull but only manages to hit the wall next to him.

Terrence cowers even more as the magic starts to fly. Errow slashes at Thunk Chunk again, but comes up short. Leroy smacks Mr. Davies with his club, staggering the lad. Manny swipes at Claw but his club swipe isn't even close a Manny's attention is more on the badger than on Claw himself.

Claw focuses his attention on Karos and using his claw and rapier, manages two precise strikes on Karos. {{ 14 damage }} Meanwhile, Tennin swings his morningstar at Gramps, nearly hitting the same spot on the wall that Gramps himself hit.

Willis giggles when Tails' blood sprays all over the place, but he continues to just stand there and watch. The lad Davies, swipes at Leroy, but he is too staggered by the damage he took earlier to put much effort into it.

Ulfgar, seeing Tails back up and then eventually collapse, turns his attention to the wee little halfling to his right. Pulley is a spry little fellow and manages to dodge one of the blows, but Ulfgar does manage to connect with one of his attacks.

Tennin

"Argh, ye scabs! Lay down yer weapons, if ye don't want to join the Leviathan in his watery grave!!!" bellows Tennin.

Spoiler

Tennin uses a standard action to command Aqua to come to the midship to start attacking, and will pull out his morningstar.

ok, if the boards keep crashing, my actions will be to just attack the nearest enemy (morningstar, d8 damage, +2 to hit). AC:16 (shield+armor), HP:24. I'm out of all but 0 level spells.

Aqua's attack is claw (d3+1 damage, +3 to hit). AC:15, HP:12. Hopefully, I'll get the notices soon enough, but I don't expect it.

[Darkantra]

Thunk Chunk

Seeing Tails fall sets Thunk Chunk into a good mood despite his wounds. Even as he picks his next target, that annoying human that nearly killed him just a half minute ago, he begins smiling.

"So much for the mighty Tails, I think I takin' a try at ya now human!"

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

Tulek mentally commands his skeleton to start in attacking the cruel halfling, grinning imperceptibly as the bloody claws swing away from the tiefling's broken body in their wake. His grin widening, Tulek's eyes turn to Claw, surrounded, and the grin parts into words; "The cold of your finger fly through mine."

[lawful_evil]

Grish uses his dual scimitar to make a bright red 'X' marks the spot on the new Captain, who howls with anger at this insult. Marcus' little badger nips and claws at Claw, but doesn't get lucky.

Karos focuses on his own personal safety rather than the termination of the mutany. Thunk Chunk slashes Errow with his massive blade nearly cutting the man in two.

Tulek's skeleton slashes Errow with one hand, adding to the bloody mess that Thunk Chunk's blade left behind. Tulek then casts his spell, sending a deadly chill into Claw.

Pulley stabs Ulfgar with his small rapier inflicting a minor wound. Gramps turns and smashes the skeleton with his club, breaking several ribs. Terrance continues to just stare in horror at the ongoing battle. Errow steps up so he is flanking the newly visible Tulek and slashes at him with his sword in a very sneaky way.

Leroy attempts to capitalize on Tulek's distraction, but his club doesn't even come close to striking. Manny swats Claw in the back with his club. Ignoring Manny, Claw strikes at Grish with his Hook and Rapier. He manages to pierce the half-orc with both attacks, bloodying his outfit.

Tennin orders up some help from his commanded creatures(which will arrive soon enough). Until then he readies his weapon to strike and steps back away from any of the hostiles. Willis begins giggling even louder when Tennin flees back into the corner near him and Terrance.

Mr. Davies swings his club at Leroy, but also fails to connect. Ulfgar in the mean time swings his stone fists of death far above the head of the puny halfling rogue and his rapier of piercing.

Tulek winces as cut opens from his hip to thigh, seeing the bloody face of the mortally wounded halfling grinning up at him through all its pain. "Want to finish him yourself, Chunk?" Tulek calls out to the hobgoblin who had nearly killed the small man earlier, grinning wider than the halfling through his pain. His skeleton turns from the wounded Halfling to rake its claws at the aged man that ruined its ribcage while Tulek almost dismissivly swing his morningstar at Leroy, the only sign he even noticed the attack that whizzed by him earlier.

Round 4

Grish pounds the captain again, knocking the rapier from his hand as he collapses to the ground. Before the captain has even settled, he backhands Leroy, knocking the club from his hand as he collapses to his knees, giving up the fight.

The badger, finally having the high ground, shreds Claws body a bit, ripping off a prime piece of calf before puffing back to the great beaver dam in the sky. Seeing Claw go down Karos turns his attention to Pulley, slashing at the halfling, but not managing to strike his puny form.

Tulek, smacks Leroy with his morningstar, making sure the man stays down. Meanwhile, his skeleton slashs Gramps, leaving a trio of bloody marks on his arm.

Pulley, seeing the captain go down, tumbles over to Gramps' side. He sheaths his weapon and grasps Gramps' hand. They both raise their hands in the air and say, "Ar, ye bested the Capt'n. Ye be our Capt'n now. We await your orders." They seem to be looking at Grish.

Aqua arrives, ready to do battle.

Grish

Captain? Me? That wasn't the idea, but...

"Um... right. Okay, mateys, let's put the weapons away and start cleaning this up. Anyone have a healer's touch? Take care of the ones bleeding on the deck -- those who fought for Claw can be tied up and given the choice later of joining us or being tossed overboard. Excepting Claw," at this point Grish performs the final coup de grace on the short-lived captain's career, "and that Tails fellow."

[Darkantra]

Thunk Chunk

As Pulley and Gramps surrender and hail the half-orc as the new captain Thunk Chunk has a moment of complete and utter confusion. Shaking his head he grins

Oh hells, best be runnin' with it anyways.

He wipes his sword on the clothes of the downed Tails and sheathes it before grabbing the demonblood fellow's head in his hands.

"Aye aye, Captain Grish!"

With a roar of laughter he twists the former first mate's head savagely, nearly wrenching it off.

Spoiler

Coup-de-Gracing Tails, as ordered

[Hyozo]

Marcus

"Ye did well Cap'n Grish. Sure ye'll be better than Claw." announces Marcus. Then, in a subtler tone, he adds "I'd suggest ye be careful with yer orders, yer crew be mostly mutiniers. I agree with your choice on the men, but I think we all know a priest who might not." Philippe simply flies over to Claw's body and defecates upon it, there were probably better final insults, but few that a bird could pull off.

[lawful_evil]

Soon enough, most people are cleaning up. Tulek's skeleton disappears and Aqua eventually floats off to play in the water while awaiting further commands.

The (original) captain's body, Claw's body, are Tails' body are hauled up on deck so they can be dealt with after dinner. Errow, Leroy, and Riddle are stabilized before they pass over.

The cook's assistant brings out a couple mops which are used to clean the majority of the green and red from the decking. The various crates are again arranged so that everyone has a place to sit and eat. The cook, again, begins to bring the meal out to the hungry crewmen.

Everyone seems to have pitched in to help clean up, except Willis, who spent the last 15 minutes drawing in green blood on the wall outside of Tails' cabin.

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

"I'm not much for healing," Tulek says, "Those Nerull doesn't want yet will live, far as I'm concerned," he says, helping with the clean-up work instead of any healing work.

Spoiler

No healing spells, spontaneous inflect, and no ranks in Heal. I really am not very good at it.

[Duke of URL]

Captain Grish

Uncomfortable as the new situation is, Grish refuses to show any weakness despite being thrust into a very unfamiliar role.

"Well, I won't be offering a toast," he starts with a half-smile. "As far as them who fought for Claw be concerned, I'll not hold hold with punishing any man for being loyal to who he believed was cap'n. But hear this, I say Tails was a poisoner, and Claw was his partner. As such," he turns to Tulek, "I want no peaceful rites for them, but treat her body with respect. Claw's and Tails' gear be added to the booty to divide among the crew that they did wrong to.

"Those here of a priestly nature," again Tulek draws a quick look, "I ask that you pray for spells of healing this night. I want this crew ready to sail and fight, and soon. But for now, let us eat and celebrate that we still be living after this day."

[PocketRocket]

"Ay, Ay Cap'n!!!" Ulfgar toasts to the new captain. He doesn't really care who the new captain was, especially after he got more of his dwarven ale into him.
