The Gem Sea Sailors

[The_JJ]

Ow, a one...

A hustling sailor grabs the box in front of you, and begins bringing it up to the deck. Good job getting that crossbow out, but I got to take the whole crate up to the rest. I just hope we can drive these guys off before they get down here to steal everything...

Which ones are slowed? That only lasts for 5 rounds though

[The_JJ]

Two of the enemy archers, the captain, and two of the sailors trying to get to your ship were slowed.

Ok, this, http://s468.photobucket.com/albums/r...rrent=ship.jpg, is my horrible rendition of the battlefield. Call your positions, I'll set up the crew, and we can go.

[Kuma Da]

OOC: Inside the hold, behind crates, covering the entrance with my crossbow.

[The_JJ]

Okay, the hold is the below two trapdoors in G2 and G3.

Is that map 5' for 1 square as is normal? If so then our ship is only 20' wide which seems small. If I'm understanding this right I'll place myself on square f2

It's not terribly huge, no.

A climb check is all.

Salmaan takes a suprise round to hit the enemy captain twice.

Then the captian grunts and then moves to G-5 and takes a swipe at one of your crewmen with his huge battle-axe.

if the captin is under the effect of slow then he can make a move action or standard action, not both.

[The_JJ]

Maha, point.

I'll fix that.

He moved, but did not attack.

Your move, then Edwards.

[Kuma Da]

Edward Farrington

Edward sticks his head up through the trap-door, rests his crossbow against the deck, and looses a bolt towards the nearest hostile.

Attack: (1d20)[7]+8, large scorpion venom DC 18 v. 1d6 str damage on hit.

geez, I wish we had an ooc thread.
Erm, doncha have to make a check whenever you poison a weapon, to make sure you don't poison yourself?

[Kuma Da]

Spoiler

Show

You have to poison them right before you fire? I figured they were poisoned at character creation. I do have to make a reflex against nicking myself if I crit fail the attack, but I wasn't aware of any extra procedures.

Consider my attacks un-poisoned for now.

Are we still posting round 1 or are we on to round 2 now?

[ColonelFuster]

I guess it'll be my turn soon, so I will cast, on the most threatening-looking person (prolly the captain) my prepared blindness spell, DC 17 to resist.

[elonin]

On Thadeus's next action he'll cast grease on squares e5, e6, f5, f6. The dc is 14 ref.

[The_JJ]

I think I'll just do this by taking in everybodies rolls and then posting each turns actions as I can.

Nevertheless I shall roll saves, to help people make desisions...

Ref saves:
e5 (d20+2)[16]
e6 (d20+2)[3]
f5 (d20+2)[10]
f6 (d20+2)[19]

fort save vs blind
(d20+11)[15]

Poor captain...
and Mr e6.

[SilentNight]

Smiling as she sees her arrows hit home, Salmaan fires again.

I assume that that can kill the captain? If so, I shall expand this post. Anyone who feels diplomatic can assist me, though.

[The_JJ]

The captian goes over, not quite dead, but blind, slowed, and badly wounded.

The pirates archers fire into your crew, scoring a few hits but nobody goes down.
The pirates on the deck scatter and flee the greasy mess, some retreating but two charge forward, swinging their cutlasses around, inflicting a few more wounds.
The crew's crossbowmen fire into the backs of the fleeing pirates, one takes a lucky shot to the back of the head and drops to the floor.
The crew on the deck, much inspired by the magical assistance counter attack, but with more entusiasm than skill. The enemy captain does however, recieves a cutlass thrust to the throat. He goes down.

[ColonelFuster]

Menchi speaks out in a loud, clear tone.
"Your captain has been felled in battle. According to the first and most ancient Code of Piracy, it is your right to vote to surrender." Though the crew looks enthused about the fighting, Menchi knows to honor the code, and would like to prevent any bloodshed.
Diplomacy? (1d20+9)[16]

[SilentNight]

Salmaan will climb up the back of the pirate ship, standing in clear view with bow drawn to drive home the gravity of the crews predicament. SHe will shoot any pirate that takes an offensive action.
