Staring up the side of the massive boat, Logan squinted but couldn't make out anyone except Alohan.  The rogue took one more moment to catch his breath, and then shimmied up the rope, this time using both his legs to brace against the side as well as his arms.  It took a little longer, but the rogue breathed a sigh of relief as he made his way slowly to the deck.

Kassius, you'd better make the hit and damage roll now.. It looks like they will fire and your action will be triggered.

Logan climbs, Celene starts casting sleep, Kassius tries to shoot (and misses), Kibeti comes out from the tarpaulin and growls... Just Alohan and Angati left.

Angati waits to cast any spells to see how things fare with the spell that Celene is casting, and tries to get a bit lower on the gondola to avoid the shots.

Taking a sling out, and placing a bullet in it, she rolls the thing and lets the bullet fly against Marek, but does not take into account the movement from the waves, and the bullet flies aimlessly.

Alohan witnessed the sailor brandishing a crossbow, pointing at what he assumed to be his companions down upon the water. The sight was enough to infuriate him. Quick as he could, the Native sprinted across the deck of the shit, lowering his shoulder to the unsuspecting crossbowman. With everything he could muster, Alohan threw his shoulder into the man, hoping to pitch him over and into the water.

OOC: Agreed, no AoO if he is using a missile weapon. Also, poor old Merak has his back to you anyway as he is lining up his crossbow on Angati's head.

Alohan shunts Merak over the side of the boat easily, and the man cries out in alarm as he sails into the water below.

Rodolfo has enough sense of mind to paddle his gondola up along side the Blue Nixie - Merak is forced to submerge beneath the surface to avoid being run down by the small boat.

OOC: Those of you in the boat can now make a full round climb action (DC10) to reach the main deck of the boat.

<ROUND ONE: END OF PLAYER'S TURN>
<ROUND ONE: START OF OPONENT'S TURN>

Thug two whrils around in alarm as he sees Merak hit the water. "We're under attack!" he screams out and then fires his crossbow at the islander, but Alohan is too quick and twists out of the way.

Thug one also cries out the alarm and shoots at Angati. The bolt thuds into the side of the gondola.

Cursing and shouts are head from both below deck and from the door to the rooms under the quarter deck. It looks like re-inforcements are coming.

10:19, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 15 using 1d20+1. Thug 2 attacks Alohan.
10:20, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 14 using 1d20+1. Thug 1 attacks Angati.

<ROUND ONE: END OF OPPONENTS' TURN>
<ROUND TWO: START OF PARTY'S TURN>
OOC: Map will be updated tonight, but feel free to post in the meantime.

Celene unleashes her sleep spell at the thug on the quarterdeck (thug 1). He drops his crossbow overboard and falls to the ground asleep.

OOC: Target communicated to me via PM

12:35, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 11 using 1d20-1. Thug one will save versus sleep.

That means that thug 2 is the only one left active.

Unable to resist uttering a whishpered "yes!", as she saw the two thugs dropping, Celene rummaged around her backpack. While the gondola veered around to come along the ship railing, she found that precious cylinder. While unfolding the content, she hollered towards the ship "Cease and desist! We have a warrant from the harbourmaster to take custody of the ship by whatever means." Well, at least now they'd been officially warned.

Not waiting for nor expecting an affirmative response, she proceded to let her eyes run down the paper, her mouth quickly forming the syllables that would cost her a fortune but save her and perhaps Angati from a swim with Marek. She had complete confidence in the athletic hunter to manage himself. But stil...

Feeling the awkward transmutation of her hands and feet starting, she turned to the others. She saw their eyebrows raise at the sight of her still transforming hands. "If you want, I can help you get up there, once the transmutation has finished. Or can you manage yourself?"


OOC: Is the climb also a full round action if you have a 10 foot climb speed? And is aiding another (for +2 to skill check) also a full round action, or a simple move action?

In any case, she'll aid next round if anyone requires help, but unfortunately can't make it this round.

If I understand correctly, reading this scroll doesn't require a Caster Level check, right GM?

Kassius almost laughs. The pretty little human priestess, offering him aid with climbing. He, who had spent his life wandering through the jungles, and had loved scurrying up trees even as a child? It was patently ridiculous, even considering the possibility of magical aid. "I'll be fine." He says with a chuckle, stowing his bow away.

With an instant thought his arms seem to stretch and elongate, becoming hairier and vaguely simian. He heads for the ropes, than looking at the remaining guard, realizes that they need a distraction. "Kibeti, Kuwu!" He calls out, pointing to the man as the intended target, and then easily begins climbing up the rope.

In response to the order, Kibeti jumps from the boat. Unused to the boat's rocking motion, the panther jumps fairly poorly. Still, it's magical enhancement brings it near the top of the boat, and Kibeti quickly climbs the rest of the way up, now facing the third thug and growling, getting ready to pounce.

In reply to Kassius (msg # 46):

I would prefer if you controlled him to be honest.

And I will let you stow your bow as a swift action, so let's say you climb all the way up and arrive on the deck.

Logan sprang onto the deck, moving to surround the last crew member with Alohan.  Placing one hand on his rapier, he smirks at the man and brandishes Keltar's document.  "We've got you surrounded and alone.  Best give yourself up before this turns ugly.  Besides, we're," Logan gestures with the document, "authorized agents of the harbormaster, and you're on a boat that has no business being here."

Angati was not easily shied away, and so, when the gondola approached the boat, she got hold of the line and started climbing with quite a sure foot.

OOC: Celene, I am not sure why you cast that scroll there, there was no further need to swim I think.

OOC: Alohan still to move this round.

OOC: Where do you think we are? Europe? :P (3ft = 1m) Each square = 5ft which is the default scale for pathfinder.

Alohan whirled about the 'Nixie's' deck, looking for someone to pound. He spotted his companion, now on the deck, advancing to the thug with legal paper in hand. Logan's diplomatic approach to convince the second thug his actions were folly was not how Alohan would handle the situation, however, the Native was wise enough to recognize his companion's goals. With a deep breath, Alohan calmed his inner pele.

A wave of nausea washed over him, almost as if he had been drinking banana beer all morning. He was close to the ship's rail, gripping it to steady himself. Yet Logan needed him so Alohan stepped forward, hand on the hilt of his terbutje. He unhooped the weapon from the simple string on his hips but kept it down and away. He hadn't needed to use it and wanted to keep it that way.

"Listen to de man. I don't wanna be hurtin' you" he growled, feeling the air warm around him.

The thug appeared to consider Logan's proclamation and Alohan's threat, and momentarily lowers his rapier, but then the noises from the other parts of the ship resolve into the forms of pirates climbing up from the hold or bursting out of the door under the quarterdeck. There are now six additional men facing the party - one of whom is Vark himself.

"Huh!" snorts the man as he raises his rapier again. "There is only one authorized person on this boat and it is Mister Vark!" The man strikes out at Alohan, but even in his sickened state the large islander waves off the attack with his terbutje almost dismissively.

11:18, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 6 using 1d20+2. Thug 2 attacks Alohan.

Vark stares at the party, still rubbing sleep out of his eyes but then recognition flashes across his face. "You! Kill them! Kill them fraccing all!" he screams. His men unsheathe their rapiers and move to attack.

<ROUND TWO: END OF OPPONENT'S TURN>
<ROUND THREE: START OF PLAYERS' TURN>

OOC: They used their turns to move onto the deck. The party gets the first action. You'd better make it count since you are now outnumbered.

Angati's half smile turned into a snarl as she advanced next to Logan and quickly cast a spell. A green tinge seemed to emanate from her, Marek would be well acquainted with it, as a chill ran through the back of most present, but she harnessed the magic forces and directed it with force towards Vark....

If they all saw their leader flee... it would be good for the fight. After casting the spell... she took a step back hoping others better prepared might take the thick of the fight.

OOC: The square directly to Logan's 'left' has the mast in it, so I'll put Angati in the next square down.

And this is 'cause fear' that we are talking about, not 'fear' like I used last time in the dress shop.


14:44, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 1 using 1d20-1. Vark saves versus 'cause fear'.
Ha! Poor guy.

A look of terror appears on the dark man's face and he drops his rapier as he scrambles to get away. Soller Vark sprints to the port side of the vessel and leaps over without hesitating. His men don't notice (yet) since he was at the back of the group.

"Looks like your boss decided a bath was more important than fighting us. I'd suggest a similar strategem." Kassius taunts the thugs, before drawing out his shortbow and firing at one of the thugs still in the back. This time, he is able to retain his proper footing, and the arrow flies with deadly accuracy, piercing deep into the man's vulnerable flesh.

At the same time, he gives a brisk command to Kibeti, gesturing at a different thug. "Kinyu" The panther grins and stalks off to attack the man from the back. Kibeti takes a half-hearted nip at the man, but seems for now content to fight defensively and wait for his allies to step forward and complete the flank.

Celene blushes at Kassius' rebuking chuckle - of course he'd manage himself. He'd probably rather die than be helped climbing by a scrawny little girl. Angati, however, amazes her. That old woman has more to her than meets the eye. Smiling with surprise, she moves to go herself.

As Celene grabs a rope to ascend, Vark comes flying past with a scream of dread. "How strange", she says to herself and Rodolfo, but moves on. With her altered shape, climbing seems trivial, although it was never anything she did much as a child, and much less after coming to Sasserine. She is again confirmed in the absolute power of magic. Swinging over the railing as easily as she would normally walk down the road, she takes in the scene.

 She gasp in shock at the blood spurting from the wounds - she never really believed it would come to bloodshed, somehow remaining hopeful no-one would be truly hurt - or die! Well, she could only try to end this quickly...

She knew the limits of her spell casting range,  reducing the number of potential targets. Quickly casting a spell of charm to convince the last to stand down, she called and pointed an open palm at the thug. "my friend, lower your weapon, show your companions no further bloodshed is needed, now that Vark has run. We will work this out without further needless violence". Fully aware her own friends would not stop immideately, she at least hoped to save the thugs not yet in the fracas. However faint a hope - they were no match for her friends. She could not imagine any of them being hurt. Still, better end it quickly, one never knew what misfortune may happen.

Ooc: Will Angatis Misfortune work here, on his save?
What rolls (modifiers?) do i need to try, convincing him to back out? Charisma check as per the spell description?

Logan misses with his short sword by cuts into the man's side with his rapier. The thief is positively surprised by the sharpness of the blade - it is the weapon he 'appropriated' from the Aubrech mansion and it is definitely magical.

The thug gasps as he is hit, then drops his weapon to clutch at the wound. "Okay! I give up!" says the man, dropping to his knees and hunching up into the lee of the ship. He is intent on stopping the bleeding, and keeping out of the way.


OOC: The blade is a rapier +1. One minor think, Logan's little 'gift' can only be used once a day and can't be subdivide like a barbarian's rage. So whether he uses 1 round or all six, it is all consumed once he breaks invisibility by attacking.



OOC: Sure. MF works on any roll when Angati is with in 30', is conscious and has line of sight. One further restriction is that when the bad guys are rolling I only reroll crits and failed saving throw, but this is just to keep the game moving, not a limitation of the power as such.



First of all, he gets a +5 bonus to his save since he is within combat against the party - but since Celene's DC is so high and there is MF, that hardly matters. If you just want him to lower his weapons and stop fighting, then no Charisma check is needed. If you want him to turn on his former friends and help the party... then you need the charisma check.

21:23, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 11 using 1d20+4. Thug 4 save vs charm person. No MF needed!

The man looks puzzled for a second and then lowers his rapier. "Ehhhh... I don't know what happened there. Sorry, I guess you just surprised us. Gee.. I'm sorry. Hey! Stop attacking!" he yells to his comrades. "I know these guys, they're alright!" He stands there looking confused about what to do next.

Updated map. Thug 2 taken out by Logan, Thug 4 charmed by Celene. Alohan left to move.
