I need to get up and get to a better vantage point from which to dispatch these fiends, Thanald thinks as he quickly rises to his feet. He moves closer to the mast -- enough to see two skeletons, and blasts the closest with a Ray of Frost.

After the Shocking movement backwards Thanald steadies himself and his quick incantation shatters another skeleton.

Damn, that damage should be d6s.

[Raz_Fox]

Through the driving rain and clash of battle, Iarsa's voice can occasionally be heard as she leaps over the skeleton at P1 and lands at Q1, provoking an Opportunity Attack at AC 18.
"I wonder where these come from they certainly don't look natural and they might be the bodies of dead sailors come back to drag you *uff* down to the bottom of the sea so you can join them in their next undead attack but *ha* that raises the question of how they *agh* swim up here with those bony fingers and those wide heavy hips."

She spins deftly and aims for the weak base of the neck with her scimitar.

Haymar groggily rises from the deck. Using the handrail to steady himself, he makes a few tentative steps toward the skeleton. He stops and points his sword at the undead. "Hey ugly, I got a big piece of steel with your skull marked all over it."

Move: Stand up
Standard: Move to K8 (no acrobatics roll)
Minor: Divine Challenge on the skeleton at Q8

[drackcove]

Haymar yells his challenge at the skeleton, and the undead things moves it head towards him and it charges him its bony claws easily bouncing off the shifter's shield.

The artificer thunderous magic sends one of the skeletons (A5) off the boat...breaking in half as it hit the side of the boat. The other ones eyes glow red and continue to parry with the Swordmage neither one making any difference on the other.

The elf with her amazing grace easily lops off the head of another skeleton. Despite it's skeletal grace it could never keep up with her.

(Rtg it is your turn)

Tel

Hearing the screams from behind, Tel turns to assist Erolien with the skeletons near the stern.

I'm not sure if I can get there this turn, but I want to get to the back from the ship. I believe I should be able to make it to the top of the stairs at C6 and still make an attack, assuming I can make some acrobatics checks. (It's two checks, by the way, right? One at the beginning, and then one for moving more than three squares?)

Thanald HP: 29/29 AC:15, F:10, R:14, W:14

Seeing the skeletons left at the other end of the ship in close proximity to the remaining sailors, Thanald grips the rigging tightly and slowly strts working his way down the deck. As he goes, he targets a skeleton at the aft end of the boat, fans out his hand and a Magic Missile springs forth.

Hey Ron and Jalor I haven't posted all monster reactions yet or even the final reaction to tels post. Your last two posts a are a little hasty, we haven't finished the turn yet.

(yes tel is right. one acrobatics check for dealing with the movement of an uncontrolled boat in this kind of weather. I want one of these every round. the second to deal with the rain and slippery terrain. This only kicks into gear if you move more than three squares.)

Tel slips on the stairs and falls prone at C6.

The crew member at dd6 is ripped to shreds, as the skeleton at ff4 moved to dd4. (A clarification on the map the S at EE6 should be at EE4).

The Skeleton at U2 charge Iarsa landing in N1 (The map should say q1 but the map has an error of M O P Q N where it should be M N O P Q. Just a Note.) Its sword going right over the Elf's head (I roll a 3 *sigh*)

Four more skelitons clamber up the side of the boat at G1 H1 F8 and S1.

A horrible screech passes your ears as a giant bat like creature with a nasty spiked tail enhanced by shadow makes a flyby attack against the swordmage. Even the swordmage's was not prepared by this and takes 13 points of damage. the bat is currently floating over I5.

A second screech can be heard in the rain as lighting crackles in the storm and the boat lurches. The swordmage is pushed and pushes the captain and the man at the helm one square down. The Shifter nearly falls off the boat but his hand grabs some railing. The artificer is pushed to K4.

(See this is why you don't post until the round is over.)

Iarsa deftly ducks under the skeleton's corroding blade, and rams an elbow into its ribs. Then her sword flashes across the skeleton's neck.

The Shifter kopesh divides the skeleton from should to hip.

Iarsa blades goes clean through the neck bone...but it is held together by the shadows. Surprised her attack didn't work Iarsa misses the return attack and take 9 points of damage from its sword.

Steadying himself, Azerkth fires a bolt trailing arcane thorns at a pair of skeletons. Following that, he scrambles through the debris arranged around the mast, away from the bat.

Standard: Spike Wire at G1, burst covers both skeletons.
Attack: (1d20+4)[20] at G1, (1d20+4)[14] at H1. Int. vs. Fort. Actually, these values should both be 2 higher, seeing as this is a weapon attack. 22 and 16 respectively.
