This sub-chapter may be quite long, and as such may be broken into more than one thread, hence the "#1".

The Lightsday sun heralds in a pleasant start to the week.

It is now 8:00am, and all of you are back aboard the MARY. The crew is well-rested and eager to go. The new compliment of marines have made their place aboard and the modification to the lowest deck is complete. If anything, the additional men seem to make the ship feel more healthy.

The second shift of sailors has been asleep for a short while and the first shift are lowering the sails. VIL and JACK stay awake for a moment to discuss setting out before heading down to sleep before their shift.

Cornelia has been feeding your sailors and marines while docked. Your previous food stores have been recalculated with the additional personel taken into account and can be found in the Party Inventory thread.

JACK, you're able to get a read on the weather well enough to know there will be no issues this day.

The entirety of the following is "out of character" and is information you all would already know about and have probably already discussed.

You have several options on how to proceed. Your map on board your ship has the Aldi clearly labeled. There are many marks indicating pirate coves and a few indications of sahuagin strongholds.

There are several destinations to which you could logically proceed, listed by proximity.

1: Cornelia (duh)
2: Rockwood
3: Bouldershallow (Dwarven docks to the west)
4: Unnamed Town that GERY describes as a pirate haven Knowledge (Geography)
5: Port Elfheim

Elfheim lies nearly directly south across the sea. There are many more markings of sahuagin activity in the center of the sea than on the outskirts. To circumvent them, if desired, you'd have to travel along either the eastern or western coastlines.

The eastern path would take you a good halfway back to Provoka before meeting land and turning south, following a huge chain of coastal mountains. Along the way you'd encounter the as-yet unnamed pirate city.

The western coastline would take you past Bouldershallow as well as the now collapsed pass to the greater oceans.

Estimated travel times:
Straight-shot through the open sea: 3 days~
Eastern coastline: 6 days~
Western coastline: 12 days~

NPC advice/opinions:

DUNN suggests that the MARY is a fairly fast ship, and this may restrict sahuagin engagements to a few small clashes, if any. He also warns of the possibility of being unlucky and finding enough to qualify as a proper skirmish, potentially having the creatures outnumber humans on the boat, possibly on more than one occasion.

GERY does not like the idea of passing by the pirates again--especially with how resource-starved and potentially desperate they are getting. He seems to not know much about sahuagin, but is confident you are capable of defeating such dumb and savage sea creatures.

VIL would rather get the trip over with than choose a route that could double or quadruple the time it requires to get there over basically unsailed waters for the past two decades.

Zeig takes to the alchemy lab and hustles through an Aquaveil potion early in the morning.  150 gil of supplies and finished in 2 hours

21:41, Today: ZEIG rolled 32 using 1d20+12. Craft (Alch) - Aquaveil. DC 22
CL 3 - lasts 3 minutes, +8 concentration checks against losing a spell

The party resolves to set out across the sea directly, straight to Elfheim.

The beginning of the first day goes well. The MARY cuts through the subtle waves of the sea at her steady pace. DUNN is quite pleased with what he sees. "I apologize, but I thought the speeds your deck officer was claiming the ship traveled might have been a bit of an embellishment," he says to the person currently serving as captain.

JACK and VIL are currently asleep down in the hold with the second shift. The sun is beginning to set.

ZEIG is still near his alchemy set, having finished his potion but still adjusting things for tomorrow's efforts. DAI is at the helm standing (what he thinks to be) mightily with the pirate captain's hat on his head. LOGG is up in the rigging of the central mast sneaking a nap. (10' of DC 10 balance check to make it to the mast, and 25' of climbing (or falling) to be back on the deck).

10 sailors including GERY and 5 marines are also in the hold asleep. None of the sailors or marines are labeled on the ship's map, as they will move out of the way for you if you move. They, for all intents and purposes, are evenly distributed around the boat based on standard ship's duties.

The sailor in the crow's nest begins ringing the alarm bell, though most of you cannot quite make out what he's yelling. DC 18 Listen check

You can of course wait for the result of your listen check before proceeding (I'd roll them for you but I'm about to head out to dinner). You all have 1 round of actions to take (standard/move) before anything else happens. Feel free to spend your Standard action attempting to get another Listen check at the sailor in the crow's nest. JACK, you are asleep in the hold and therefore do not act quite yet.

There are currently 4 marines on deck including DUNN, one marine on the cannon deck, 8 standard sailors in the rigging and on deck, and 2 petty officers--one on the fore half-castle and on on the aft with the person steering the ship.

PCs (and VIL) are their standard characters on the map. LOGG, the central 'X' is the mast you're up. If you have any questions about movement up there apart from what I've described, please ask.

For additional information on the ship's map (which we will be using more than this one time for sure), please check the Party Inventory thread.

19:38, Today: DAI rolled 20 using 1d20+1. listen.

OOC: Will put my round of actions after hearing what is being yelled.

21:41, Today: LOGG rolled 15 using 1d20+3. Listen check (DC 18).

OOC: Well, I don't think I hear, Meh I'll do my actions after everyone else

22:45, Today: ZEIG rolled 13 using 1d20+4. listen.

Zeig rushes upstairs and looks around hurriedly.

"What?  What is the alarm for?"

ZEIG rushes over to a door, opens it, and looks around wondering at the cause of the alarm. All actions expended. You are now in the doorway looking out onto the deck.

DAI squints slightly before he acts, listening intently.  Full-round action remaining.

LOGG hears the yelling, and readies himself ready to take action at the ready. You're right. You hear nothing but the sailor yelling while the bell overpowers him. You still have a full-round action left.

JACK and VIL continue to doze rather peacefully.

edit-
LOGG's readiness!

"Someone wake up JACK and VIL! We have Saguagins coming up the sides of the ship, non-fighters stay below deck, make sure you close all openings down there!" DAI draws out his wands of Lock and Ice Slick, getting ready for what was coming.

LOGG, your actions cannot take into account what DAI has said, though you can attempt to spend a Standard action to listen more closely to the sailor in the crow's nest. On LOGG and ZEIG's next turn they will have heard DAI, as will have the majority of the marines/sailors on deck.

23:37, Today: LOGG rolled 20 using 1d20+3. Listen check (DC 18).

OOC: there... much better... putting ranks in that when I can....

00:43, Today: JACK rolled 9 using 1d20 with rolls of 9. Listen.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

LOGG, you now have one move action left. See above post about where you are.

LOGG, upon hearing about brown lizard-like things coming up the side of the ship, tries to climb down to the deck.

12:17, Today: LOGG rolled 25 using 1d20+7. climbing down.

Going to just glaze over the fact that you completely missed the part where you had to Balance first and do it for you, even though I mentioned it several times including PMs... I hate you guys so much, I really do.

LOGG nimbly jogs over to the mast then begins to climb down at a brisk pace.
13:12, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 18 using 1d20+10. DC 15 Balance.
13:14, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 5 using 1d20+2. Accellerated Climb (-5) check, DC 5.

LOGG ends his movement 15' above the deck of the ship, and lets go of the ladder.
13:15, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 13 using 1d20+9. DC 15 Tumble to reduce fall.
Unfortunately, he fumbles his landing in his excitement, twisting his ankle.
13:16, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 3 using 1d6. Non-lethal intentional fall damage.

The sailor ringing the bell suddenly stops. None of you can see him up there any longer.

A sailor on the deck of the ship begins yelling that he sees lizard-men climbing up the side of the ship. Some of the other sailors and marines run to look for themselves. The marines draw their crossbows.

Initiative. JACK, don't roll initiative quite yet. You will "act" at the end of every round. When you wake up you will roll for it.

14:40, Today: ZEIG rolled 6 using 1d20-1. Initiative.

15:18, Today: DAI rolled 19 using 1d20+2. init.

DAI eyes the man in the crow's nest confused. "Keep your wits about...there's more to this."

19:51, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 9 using 1d20+4. Initiative.

A sahuagin holding a staff pokes his head up over the edge of the railing of the ship. After a brief glancing around it holds its head back, elongates its neck, then spits a torrent of water at the sailor nearest to it looking over the railing.
20:05, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 2d6+2. elemental water damage.
20:05, Today: teslas rolled 23 using 1d20+5. RTA vs. FF sailor.
The surprised sailor is caught unprepared. He is smacked dead-on and flops to the deck of the ship horribly injured and unconscious.


Due to the new map which is quite complicated and large, I have put enemies in bolded blue so that you can find them more easily. The blue will disappear after one round (because it really fucks up the constant-width spacing for me).

Between the few torches lit on the ship and the waning sunlight there are no visibility issues on deck.

Unconscious bodies of allies who are not PCs or major NPCs will be shown with a 'b'. If you're curious as to who it is, check previous posts or ask me on AIM if you're lazy. Enemies will always be on the map so long as they are alive, even if they are unconscious, so check the initiative order to see who or what is alive/unconscious.

DAI 5 ft steps to the right, dropping his wand of Ice Slick at his feet, before throwing his hand forward as a torrent of small stones flies from within his sleeve, aiming for the sahuagin priest.

18:25, Today: DAI rolled 17 using 2d12+6. stone damage.
18:25, Today: DAI rolled 21 using 1d20+4. stone(RTA) Sahuagin Priest.
Choosing to forego the rough terrain.

The Sahuagin priest shrieks as and after the magical stones bludgeon him.

The petty officer manning the helm shifts to the position DAI was in and stares wide-eyed at the fight in front of him as he continues to pilot the MARY.

The other petty officer at the front of the ship runs to the deck hole, hangs by his hands, then drops down inside. He yells to the other sailor near him as he's running, "GET BELOW!"

DUNN moves over to the starboard stairwell, blocking it with his body, and loads his crossbow. "Engage and defend the helm!"

LOGG attempts to ascertain an item the Sahuagin Priest has he then moves towards it and attempts to steal from it


00:15, Today: LOGG rolled 10 using 1d20+4. peek attempt on Sahuagin Priest. 00:18, Today: LOGG rolled 20 using 1d20+15. steal attempt on Sahuagin Priest.

The injured sahuagin pulls away as LOGG attempts to snatch some of its jewelry.

The marines on deck that are looking over the side yell out that there are several, several more lizard-men climbing the sides of the boat.

One of them, the one standing port-side on the central deck, loads his crossbow then fires it over the edge at something. He then steps back 5'.
00:28, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d10. damage.
00:27, Today: teslas rolled 22 using 1d20+4. marine vs. climbing sahag.

The marine nearby on the same part of the ship loads his crossbow, takes a step, and fires his crossbow at the sahag priest's exposed head, but misses.
00:31, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d20. xbow firing into melee.

The marine near DAI and DUNN loads his crossbow and moves to block the other stairwell up to the helm.

The marine on the cannon deck runs down to wake the rest of the crew, dropping into a deck hole. He screams at the top of his lungs down into the hold to wake everyone. "TO ARMS. TO ARMS. WE'RE BEING BOARDED." JACK and VIL, DC 1 Listen check to hear it and wake up before next round.

Just then several sahuagin clamber onto the deck or expose their heads and shoulders. Unlike the first sahag, they appear to be wearing little to no clothing, and definitely nothing that could constitute "armor".

Sahuagin #6 rears its head up much like other sahuagin did and fires a column of water at the sailor nearest to him.
00:39, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 2d6+2. water elemental damage.
00:39, Today: teslas rolled 23 using 1d20+5. RTA vs. sailor.
A second sailor drops to the deck of the ship, very nearly dead.

All of the other lizard-men appear to have just finished climbing on board.

None of these sahuagins are climbing against the side of the ship like the first one ($) is. They are all standing normally.

He will act next round. He is currently laying in a hammock. Move action to stand up in a square adjacent to it or in the same square. (same for you, JACK)

Zeig weaves a pale light and casts it into the eyes of the sahuagin priest.  Fear DC 15

He then takes a 5' step back into the room (up).

This will be the last combat where I post enemy saving throws/skill checks. I will private them to myself so that you can later see them when the thread is archived, however.

The doorway in front of ZEIG is open. Later I'll think of a character to signify open doors >.>, but for now we'll just have to remember.

The sahag priest shakes off most of ZEIG's magic, but still appears somewhat affected for a moment.
01:03, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+7. Sahag priest Will save.

The sailors in the hold begin to stir and wake up, but still seem somewhat confused. The two sailors that are dying on the deck bleed out more, and the one on the fore half-castle dives into the room with ZEIG and the petty officer through the deck hole.

GERY awakens in his cot.
01:07, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d20-9. GERY listen.
01:08, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d20+1. GERY init.

JACK's eyes open as he is instantly ready to begin the fight.
01:10, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 8 using 1d20-10. Listen.
01:21, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 23 using 1d20+3. Init.

The sahag priest ($) casts a spell on LOGG. Spellcraft.
01:15, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+7. sahag concentration check, DC 17.
01:16, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 4 using 1d20+2. DC 13 Fort save.
01:15, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 2d6+2.
LOGG feels injured while the priest appears to look better. The priest stays where it is, clinging to the side of the ship.

I messed up on the Listen check thingie for JACK (thanks ZEIG). There is no feasible way for JACK or DAI's actions to affect one another, so both of you can act right now.

23:20, Today: DAI rolled 30 using 1d20+12. spellcraft.

DAI does a fierce movement with his hand, throwing another blast of stone, this time magically enhanced, at the Sahuagin priest.

23:22, Today: DAI rolled 11 using 2d12+6. stone damage, if hit.
23:22, Today: DAI rolled 11 using 1d20+9. Stone(RTA) Elem Seal, Sah Priest.
Choosing to forego rough terrain, though I doubt I hit.

The priest, partially shielded by the edge of the ship as well as his ally (#5) is not hit by DAI's spell.

The petty officer in the room with ZEIG is panicked. "Shit shit shit shit shi..." He does not move.

The other petty officer continues to man the helm.

VIL will act after JACK acts, so we're waiting on him.

Jack jumps up and makes his way up the nearest ladder.

JACK climbs up the ladder nearest him at a measured pace. Better to be safe than sorry. 20' expended.
16:19, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 9 using 1d20+3. Weak-ass climb check DC 5.
He then runs to a stairwell and bounds up it, ending his turn on the top deck.
16:37, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 26 using 1d20+10. Auto succeed DC 10 Balance check.
Auto-succeed on the second one as well.
Move action to jump out of hammock. Standard action used to move all that way. 50' of movement due to Deck Boots and class features.

VIL attempts to follow, but is an order of magnitude slower than JACK. He makes it up the ladder and into the cargo deck saying, "Wake the marines and then stay below," before he leaves.
16:40, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 1d20+3. VIL DC 5 climb check.

DUNN fires his crossbow at sahuagin #4, hitting it through the throat, but doesn't have Rapid Reload so his turn is over :(.
16:43, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 2d10. crit damage.
16:43, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+6. confirm.
16:43, Today: teslas rolled 25 using 1d20+6. DUNN xbow vs. #4.

LOGG focuses on the Sahuagin Priest trying to discern items it may have, then he attempts to steal from it, reaching for whatever he can get.

23:56, Today: LOGG rolled 18 using 1d20+5. peek attempt on Sahuagin Priest.
00:01, Today: LOGG rolled 26 using 1d20+15. steal attempt on Sahuagin Priest.

LOGG doesn't manage to see anything as he peers at the sahuagin priest again, but leans in regardless. As the sahuagin is turning its head, still keeping an eye on DAI after DAI severely damaged him, LOGG snatches a single earring off of its large, finned ear ridge. You now have a very, very small earring in your offhand.

The marine guarding the other staircase to the helm fires his crossbow at sahuagin #1, but misses.
02:25, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d20+4. marine xbow vs. #1.

The two marines on deck drop their crossbows and draw their swords. They both slash the sahuagin near them (#1 and #3) and then take a 5' step closer to one another.
02:29, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 2d8+8. crit damage.
02:28, Today: teslas rolled 21 using 1d20+6. confirm.
02:28, Today: teslas rolled 25 using 1d20+6. marine longsword vs #1.
02:30, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d8+4. damage.
02:30, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+6. marine longsword vs #3.

Sahuagin #1, injured by both a hearty strike from a sword and by a crossbow bolt is not looking healthy. He, in the same fashion as the previous sahuagin, spits a stream of water at the marine that shot and then stabbed it, blasting him squarely.
02:33, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 2d6+2. water damage.
02:32, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+5. #1 RTA vs. marine.
The lizard-man then jumps overboard back into the sea.

#2 charges at LOGG, flailing its trident which wildly misses his small frame.
02:36, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+10. #2 charging flank attack vs. LOGG.

#3 moves around behind while #4 also gets into position. They then both skewer him with tridents and #4 manages to tear some of his flesh with a savage bite.
02:39, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d4+1. bite damage.
02:38, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d8+3. trident damage.
02:38, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d8+3. trident damage.
02:38, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+5. #4 flank bite vs. marine.
02:38, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+8. #4 flank trident vs. marine.
02:38, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+8. #3 flank trident vs marine.
The marine is still standing after the assault, but he is not looking well.

#5 moves toward LOGG and stabs at him with its trident as well as attempts to bite him.
02:41, Today: teslas rolled 6 using 1d20+4. #5 bite vs LOGG.
02:41, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+6. #5 trident vs LOGG.
LOGG easily evades both attacks.

#6 charges the already injured marine that was just hit with the blast of water, but isn't able to make contact through the marine's breastplate.
02:43, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20+8. #6 charge trident vs. marine.

"Jack, Logg, get rid of the one in the doorway!  I need to get to the men on the other side!" Number 2 :D

Zeig delays until after Logg's turn.

GERY belts out an order reinforcing VIL's to his sailors to wake up the marines and then to stay below and assist in any way they are told. He then follows VIL, moving 40', auto-succeeding on his DC 5 Climb check.

The two unconscious sailors on deck continue to bleed to death.

The sailor in the "alchemy room" is actually more calm than the petty officer, walks over to the interior door and opens it. I'm hiding in here. Give 'em 'ell, skip, he says to ZEIG.

The one near the helm with DAI and the other petty officer runs over to DUNN, "Lemme know if you want someone to use your stick shooter if you're going down there." He is actively cowering behind the low railing (Total Defense, Kneeling).

Three sailors in the hold run down to the marine's rear room, repeating that the ship is under attack. One sailor stands in the doorway and casts the blanket aside. All of the marines are busily grabbing their swords and crossbows, but are not wearing their armor. The rest of the sailors simply stand out of the hammocks or get up from their cots, looking wide-eyed at one another.

Jack attacks the sahuagin priest.

22:59, Today: JACK rolled 11 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 8. Damage 2.
22:59, Today: JACK rolled 10 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 7. Damage 1.
22:58, Today: JACK rolled 8 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 3. Attack 2 (Sahuagin Priest).
22:57, Today: JACK rolled 23 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 18. Attack 1 (Sahuagin Priest).

JACK's first attack slams the exposed monstrous priest's head.

The priest in turn attempts to concentrate again on forming a spell, but fails.
13:03, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 1d20+8. priest defensive casting Concentration.
It curses in a language none of you know. Knowledge (local)

The priest then lets go of the side of the boat to drop back down into the water.
13:06, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 18 using 1d20+7. AoO vs. priest.
13:05, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 16 using 1d20+8. AoO vs. priest.
Neither LOGG or JACK can make contact with their weapons as he drops away, JACK missing by only a fraction of an inch. It is no longer denied its dexterity bonus to AC since it isn't climbing as it falls away. It splashes into the water. JACK and LOGG can make a Spot check to try and see it beneath the waves.

DAI attempts to guide everyone into more evasive actions, he thinks he did alright.
11:19, Today: DAI rolled 10 using 1d20+3. aid another AC, DC 10.

He then waves his hand above his head, sending a mental assault on Sahuagin 4. DC 15 will save to avoid sleep.

14:51, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d20+4. DC 15 Will vs. Sleep.
Sahuagin #4 falls asleep.
Actually, DC 14 Will save because of the day. Still fails.

The petty officers continue their actions, one sorta freaking out and the other manning the helm.

VIL runs up onto the upper deck, sword drawn. Sahuagin #2 fails to strike him with with its trident as he moves by.
14:55, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d20+6. #2 AoO vs VIL.

DUNN reloads his crossbow.

You have like ten thousand AC and ZEIG already wants to heal those people. Have some balls, little halfling, jesus. Might I also suggest using your tumble skill from time to time, you know, whenever you feel like it. Taking damage is usually something you avoid when you can.

Sahaguans #2, #5, and #3 all attempt to hit LOGG with their tridents as he runs by.
20:44, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d8+3. #5 damage.
20:43, Today: teslas rolled 24 using 1d20+6. #5 AoO.
20:43, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d20+6. #3 AoO.
20:43, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 1d20+6. #2 AoO.
One of them catches his leg as he runs by, tearing open the flesh a good bit.

LOGG ends his turn next to the sleeping sahuagin, holding his shortsword up, making it obvious what his intentions are.

Zeig begins to sweat, feeling trapped and unable to help his crew, but moves towards them as quickly as possible.  He draws his wand of Heal after emerging from the hole. "Hold out, I'm coming!"

22:26, Today: ZEIG rolled 17 using 1d20-1. climb.
Unsure if you have to declare hastily climbing first or not, if you do then I didn't and will move at 1/4 speed.  BLUE marks the path, Red marks the spot if I went 1/4 speed up the 10' ladder, Green if I went 1/2 speed.

Yes, you must declare accelerated climbing/balancing before you make the roll.

The marine on the deck with DUNN loads his crossbow.

The marine that was on the cannon deck yelling down runs back up onto the deck of the ship and draws his sword, then assumes a defensive stance. (Total Defense)

The marine just below sahag #3 swings his sword at him then shifts back 5'.
21:44, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d8+4. damage.
21:44, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+6. marine longsword vs. #3.
Sahag #3 looks fairly injured after the attack, the second cut he's received.

The other marine next to him does the same to sahag #6, gouging it horribly.
21:46, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 2d8+8. crit damage.
21:46, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+6. confirm.
21:46, Today: teslas rolled 26 using 1d20+6. marine longsowrd vs. #6.
The sahuagin looks as if it's on the verge of collapse.

The marines in the hold have all finished arming themselves, and are ready to begin joining the fray on the next round.

Sahag #6 dives over the unconscious sailor into the ocean.

#2 steps behind VIL and attacks him, flanking with #5. #5 also attacks VIL.
22:00, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 1d8+3. trident damage 2.
22:00, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d8+3. trident damage 1.
21:58, Today: teslas rolled 27 using 1d20+8. other sahag flank attack.
21:58, Today: teslas rolled 23 using 1d20+8. sahag flank attack vs VIL.
VIL's new armor absorbs quite a bit of the damage.

Sahag #3 spits a column of water at the marine below him.
22:05, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 2d6+2. water damage.
22:03, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20+5. RTA vs. Marine.
DAI shouts out a warning to the marine, but the column barely hits him regardless. The marine drops to the deck like a bag of rocks, though he is still alive. The sahag then dives off of the side of the boat.

#5 continues to sleep, letting out a very guttural snore.

Three more sahaguin pop their heads over the side of the ship and then climb onto the deck.

GERY runs up the stairwell toward the helm, ending his movement on the stairwell on the upper deck.

The sailor between sahaguin #5 and #9 stops breathing, convulses for a slight moment, then lies motionless. The unconscious sailor on the other side of the ship continues his advance towards death, nearly reaching it.

The sailor next to DUNN continues to crouch. All of the sailors below deck basically remain there readying basic clubs and the like.

Jack takes a quick glance over the side, then tumbles into flanking position with Vil. (down, right, down).

09:17, Today: JACK rolled 10 using 1d20 with rolls of 10. Spot (S.Priest).
09:16, Today: JACK rolled 4 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 1. Damage 2.
09:15, Today: JACK rolled 8 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 5. Damage 1.
09:15, Today: JACK rolled 20 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 13. Attack 2 (S5).
09:15, Today: JACK rolled 23 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 16. Attack 1 (S5).
09:14, Today: JACK rolled 21 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 8. Tumble (Sahuagin 5).

JACK can't pick the priest out through the water.

JACK does a vaulting flip off of the stairwell and lands behind sahuagin #5, who doesn't have time to do much of anything before JACK punches it hard where its kidneys might be two times.

It coughs up water. None of you are sure if this is normal.

DAI seems distraught with the death of a sailor and the incapacitation of so many others this early in the fight. "Don't let these scaly freaks get the better of you!" He then attempts to aide everyon's combat effectiveness, before taking a 5 ft step right and letting loose a blast of stone from around the mast at Sahuagin 8.

13:47, Today: DAI rolled 14 using 1d20+3. Aid Another; Attack rolls, DC 10.
13:49, Today: DAI rolled 17 using 2d12+6. stone(damage).
13:49, Today: DAI rolled 22 using 1d20+4. Stone(RTA) Sahuagin 8.
Creating Rough Terrain up-right of him, as well as right of him.

I'm going to go ahead and say that you must specify if you want to aid melee attacks, ranged attacks, or siege attacks. It seems pretty obvious you meant melee attacks, so we'll go with that one.

DAI's mass of magical stone skillfully (or luckily) flies by the mast almost completely obscuring his target, slamming into the new sahuagin raider joining combat. It shrieks as loudly as the priest did, obviously extremely injured.

The fore petty officer runs into the room with the sailor and slams the door shut. The one at the wheel of the ship continues to man his post.

VIL closes his eyes for a moment, then opens them as they glow a faint red. He holds his right hand aloft, it soon is engulfed in a flame that circles up his longsword. At the same time, his left hand moves from the injured sailor to the marine as he takes a step to the rear of the boat, emitting a cool blue light which then quickly flashes deep purple toward sahuagin #2, its eyes drop asleep instantly. Finally both of his arms come together as he throws a gust of wind at #9, decapitating it as it flies away from him back into the ocean, singe marks on the stump that used to be its neck.

Chainspell:
He casts Enfire on himself.
He casts Cure on the injured sailor on the verge of death.
16:28, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d8+5. Cure on Sailor.
He then takes a 5' step down and to the right.
He casts Cure on the injured marine who is dying.
16:28, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d8+5. Cure on Marine.
He casts Sleep on Sahuagin #2. DC 18
16:22, Today: teslas rolled 15 using 1d20+4. #2 Will save vs. Sleep (-1 DC for day).
He casts Aero on Sahuagin #9. DC 17
16:24, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 2d10+5. aero damage.
16:23, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+4. VIL Aero RTA vs. #9.
16:26, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d6+1. Enfire damage.
16:38, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 2d8+8. damage.
16:38, Today: teslas rolled 27 using 1d20+9. confirm.
16:37, Today: teslas rolled 29 using 1d20+9. VIL AoO reroll with DAI's aid another.

VIL's eyes fade back to normal as he spins his fiery longsword back around to face the deck of the MARY. The sailor's bleeding stops. The marine opens his eyes, longsword still in hand, lying prone.

DUNN hands (drops) the loaded crossbow to the sailor next to him, draws his sword, and moves down onto the mid-deck. "If you don't kill it, halfling, I will." Readied action to attack the sahuagin after LOGG strikes it, if it does not die.

LOGG jumps and plunges his short sword into the sleeping sahuagin attempting to kill it outright, after the attack he step 5ft to the right.

16:44, Today: LOGG rolled 6,6 using 2d4,3d6. coup de grace on sahuagin 4. Ugh... that was rather low....

16:46, Today: teslas rolled 25 using 1d20+5. #4 DC 21 Fortitude save vs. death.
The sahuagin does not die outright, but drops to the deck of the ship nonetheless, unconscious and exuding green blood onto the boards.

DUNN follows up the strike, taking from VIL's example, severing the head from the body.
16:48, Today: teslas rolled 22 using 2d8+8. damage.
16:48, Today: teslas rolled 16 using 1d20+8. confirm.

Zeig takes a 5' step down/left and casts a soothing light towards the unconscious sailor.

18:25, Today: ZEIG rolled 9 using 1d8+6. Cure -> Sailor.

"Damn you bastards!  GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

The sailor's eyes pop open and he takes a huge breath. He seems completely healed but disoriented.

The prone marine stands up and moves back against the captain's cabin wall, defending himself. The marine next to him does the same. (Total Defense) Both look pretty badly injured.

The marine on the upper deck near the helm fires his crossbow at sahag #8.
18:27, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d10. damage.
18:27, Today: teslas rolled 22 using 1d20+4. marine xbow vs. #8.
The bolt knicks its arm and plants itself a couple of inches into the side of its chest. The sahag drops.

The marine next to the two injured ones reloads his crossbow.

Sahag #7 walks up to #2, jostling it. It awakens.

#5 takes a 5' step down and to the right, then stabs at VIL with its trident, then attempts to bite him.
22:56, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4+1. damage.
22:56, Today: teslas rolled 16 using 1d20+3. #5 bite vs. VIL.
22:55, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 1d8+3. damage.
22:55, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+6. #5 trident vs. VIL.
The trident pokes into his side a decent bit but the sahuagin's teeth cannot penetrate his armor.

GERY takes his place next to the petty officer manning the helm. He has his cutlass drawn.

The remaining sailor on the deck, saved from within an inch of death, gets up and scrambles for the bridge. The rest continue their previous business.

Jack attacks Sahuagin 5 after getting back into flanking position. (5 ft. step up and to the left)

21:00, Today: JACK rolled 7 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 4. Damage 2.
21:00, Today: JACK rolled 5 using 1d8+3 with rolls of 2. Damage 1.
20:57, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 28 using 1d20+9. Attack 2, flanking + Aided.
20:57, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 27 using 1d20+9. Attack 1, flanking + Aided.
21:00, Today: JACK rolled 12 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 5. Attack 2 (S5).
21:00, Today: JACK rolled 16 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 9. Attack 1 (S5).

GM EDIT-
Forgot DAI's ship-wide aid another action. Don't feel bad, I did it constantly myself.

The priest pops its head up 5' (down and below) away from DAI raising its body halfway over the railing of the ship. He casts the same spell he did on LOGG, this time on DAI. Spellcraft.
21:28, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 23 using 1d20+4. DC 13 Will Save. Text says Will, I meant Fortitude.
21:29, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 2d6+2. damage.
DAI grunts as he manages to keep himself composed, lessening the harm to himself as wisps of energy flow back to the priest. With what could only be the awful equivalent to a smile, the priest lets go of the side of the boat and falls back into the water.

19:48, Today: DAI rolled 24 using 1d20+12. spellcraft(it's drain).

DAI lets out a small grunt as he feels his life energy being pulled away lightly. He shakes it off, and attempts to aid the ship in another assault. "Don't hold back now! Keep pushing!"

19:49, Today: DAI rolled 14 using 1d20+3. aid another, melee attack.

He then takes a 5 ft step up, and fires a blast of stone at Sahuagin 7.

19:52, Today: DAI rolled 17 using 2d12+6. stone(damage) sahuagin 7.
19:52, Today: DAI rolled 20 using 1d20+4. stone(RTA).
Create rough terrain under him and number 2

DAI continues to shout warnings and instructions throughout the deck of the ship.

#7 hits the deck... unintentionally, right after DAI's magical rocks once again fly within a fraction of an inch of one of the masts to meet their target.

VIL attempts to quickly place #2 to sleep so that it cannot run away and takes a 5' step closer. Fast Cast.
22:10, Today: teslas rolled 24 using 1d20+4. #2 DC 18 Will save.
Unfortunately, the sahuagin manages to shake the spell off of itself. VIL then stabs at #5 with his fiery longsword.
22:12, Today: teslas rolled 6 using 1d6+1. Fire damage.
22:12, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d8+4. physical damage.
22:12, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+11. VIL longsword vs. #2, flank, aided.
The attack is enough to send #5 flopping onto the deck, sprawled out. VIL shifts his position closer to #2.

#2 is the last sahuagin on board that is on its feet. It will either be killed or jump overboard to escape. LOGG, if you'd like to take your turn, please do so. If not, combat is over.

The final conscious sahuagin makes a break for it and dives over the edge of the ship.

Everyone gains 367 EXP for defeating the encounter.
GERY, DUNN, and the other 9 marines all gain 450 experience points.

Morale has been lessened by the death of a sailor, but this has been majorly mitigated by how clearly the ship's combatants appear to outclass the sahuagin raiders. Morale: 6/10

There is a body of a sailor and five bodies of sahuagins, three of which are still alive, barely, two of which will die within the minute if nothing is done.

A petty officer climbs up into the crow's nest and reports that the sailor there is unconscious, but alive.

Bonus EXP being calculated and will be edited in.
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:54, Wed 15 June 2011.

VIL hands the two injured marines a potion each and commends them on their performance. Both marines drink them and appear much healthier. A night's rest should bring them back up to full speed.

The three sahuagins will die mid-day tomorrow (Real Life) if you guys don't do anything by then, if you wanted to do anything at all.

The petty officer in the crows nest begins tying a rope around the unconscious sailor and lowers him to the deck. Heal and Search checks.

23:01, Today: DAI rolled 23 using 1d20+4. search, why not?.
23:01, Today: DAI rolled 13 using 1d20+1. heal, worth a shot.

OOC: I deduct that this man is....sleeping! Also, here are some blueprints to a laser gun I found in that sahuagin's mouth...not sure how that got there.

DAI pulls out his dity knife that had accompanied him from Corneria, also placing his wands back in their pouch(including the ice slick I dropeed), he then walks over to one of the Sahuagin then holds the knife up to it's neck.

"Just to be sure...no one has a problem with this, right? I don't think any of us speak fish, and I don't see much point in keeping them alive."

LOGG walks over "No issues here. Though, perhaps you could look at this, I.... er.... found it from that one ugly that ran away. Well, they all ran, but it was the first." he showed DAI the earring he was holding.

DAI uses detect magic on the earring, as well as the sahuagin bodies, pausing all other actions until he finds out.

EDIT: detecting the sahuagin too.
This message was last edited by the player at 06:12, Wed 15 June 2011.

DAI looks the sailor over.

The earring LOGG is holding is quite magical. Nothing on the sahuagins appear to be, however. The only equipment they have are very odd-looking tridents, and a belt of what appears to be shark leather. The belt has many pockets.

VIL goes through some of their pockets, and reveals that he's found quite a few little gemstones of various qualities. Knowledge (local). LOGG, you get a +2 bonus to this check. VIL puts all of the gemstones into one of their belts, and then slings it over his shoulder.

While you are talking, two of the three sahuagins die from blood loss. The third looks to be very close to it. The fourth sahuagin is in very bad shape, but appears to be stable.

DAI, not even noticing the Sahuagins' deaths, gestures to hand him the earring, if LOGG complies, he will wander off to his room to spend an hour identifying the thing, also placing his dagger away.

01:37, Today: LOGG rolled 29 using 1d20+9. kn: local (for gemstones). wOOt nat 20!


LOGG hands DAI the earring before turning his attention back to the pretty stones.
This message was last edited by the player at 06:44, Wed 15 June 2011.

LOGG explains that he's heard plenty of pirates talk about how the sahuagin have no currency save the myriad of gemstones that litter the ocean floor in their deep homeland. Indeed, how would one fire sheet metal or smelt gold ore underwater?

DAI gets to work identifying the earring, and hands the captain's hat off to LOGG. VIL stands around for a moment staring at the dead sailor on the deck as another sailor comes up with a sheet, covering and wrapping his body.

The third sahuagin dies from blood loss, the deck now thick with the mingling of red human blood and the blue-green of the sahuagin's. The odor, while not inherently unpleasant, is disturbing to say the least. The final sahuagin lies there on the deck, barely moving. It looks as if its breathing is extremely laborious.
This message was last edited by the GM at 07:03, Wed 15 June 2011.

06:16, Today: ZEIG rolled 11 using 1d20+6. Heal. >.>

Zeig looks the rest of the crew over.  I'm guessing Vil took care of all the injured?

"Good work.  This won't be the last we see of these damn fish.  We should be extremely on guard during the next two days."

He then pauses for a moment.

"We should give this man a fitting burial at sea...that other sahuagin should be restrained, if not outright killed."

DUNN agrees with ZEIG on the matter of the sahuagin, "I can make the thing suffer a more humane death than it deserves. Give the word."

GERY says that they will conduct a funeral for the deceased sailor the next morning at sunrise.

Jack grunts. If no one has a problem, I'm dumping the dead fish back in the water.

All of the NPCs seem quite all right with JACK's idea. DUNN remains standing over the injured and unconscious sahuagin and turns to the unarmored marines on deck, "Get back to sleep men. It'll be your turn soon enough if today is any indication of what's to come."

DAI pokes his head out of his room, having not yet begun the hour long ordeal of identifying the earring just yet.

"Oh yeah...someone should take that dart out of his neck, it could be poisoned."

DAI pointed at the man who was unconscious, and then tapped his neck where he had seen the dart upon investigation. After this his head disappeared again, as he was now ready to learn the mysteries behind this trinket.

Zeig attempts to check over the man again, noticing the dart wound.

20:11, Today: ZEIG rolled 29 using 1d20+13. Heal - Divine Insight.



After gleaning that the poison is not deadly, Zeig thinks for a moment and decides that waiting a day and a half for the sailor to recover naturally is not a luxury they can afford.  He places his hand over the wound and the man's skin begins to blush, the slight redness moving outward from Zeig's hand in a ripple and eventually encompassing the entire body before his original hue begins to return.  Basuna

ZEIG's spell washes over the sailor. He opens his eyes, looking fairly groggy, seeing everyone around him. "I take it you noticed the things climbing up the side of the boat?" he says, looking at the marines throwing the sahuagin corpses overboard.

VIL tells DUNN to decapitate the sahuagin and kick it overboard with the rest. Afterward he nods to everyone and goes back below deck to attempt to get some rest.

DAI finishes identifying the earring.

Dark-Coral Earring, ???gp
weightless, uses both ear slots, even though it's only one earring

Grants Reduce Fire 8 and Reduce Water 8.
Grants immunity to the Drown elemental status effect.
The wearer can resist succumbing to suffocation twice as long as it normally could.

DAI walks back outside and explains what the earring does, before handing it off to LOGG.

"Well, as such I can't think of anyone it would benefit over anyone else, so finder's keepers I guess."

LOGG takes the earring and immediately puts it on "This'll be useful. I'm not so good at swimming. Funny that, being an ex-pirate and all that." he says the last part barely above a whisper.

DAI shrugs.

"I thought it was kind of funny that an aquatic monster would have something that lets them hold their breath longer, but I guess it's all preference."

DAI then wondered if he should make something with the alchemical lab, he decides to dedicate some time into making a stack of 10 Lightning Elemental Arrows.

20:23, Today: DAI rolled 25 using 1d20+12. craft(lightning arrows).

OOC: So...not sure what that means, couldn't find a craft DC for them in the vendor list, and I forget how nonmagical crafting works, isn't that on a weekly basis like proffession checks for making money?

The craft check you have rolled will suffice. If you want to simply let all of the workings go on behind the screen, I'll tell you what happens, which is fine with me.

You did not add your +2 from using the alchemy lab. If you choose to not use the lab, you suffer a -2. I'll reroll for you with the correct modifier assuming that you would like to use the lab.

22:39, Today: teslas rolled 25 using 1d20+14. Craft (alchemy) 1d6 lightning arrows.

Amusing. Ok. You will complete a stack of 10 1d6 elemental arrows of whatever element you choose in two day's work, which has been included in the one check. They will be finished at the end of the next day that you work on them. Subtract 10 arrows from your supply, and I am subtracting 16 gold, 6 silver, and 7 copper from the party stores.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:40, Thu 16 June 2011.

DAI's crafting will have been assumed to start directly after ZEIG was finished with his.

DAI works for a few hours into the night on his arrows, having been slightly interrupted by his desire to stand at the helm with the captain's hat on.

LOGG remains in command of the ship with his brand new earring on his ear. There are two sailors in the crow's nest, peering down towards the water. They both have bandannas wrapped around their necks.

The shifts change. GERY and the other sailors wake up and begin to eat. Food store totals updated. JACK relieves LOGG who proceeds to enter his captain's cabin. DAI and ZEIG go to the officer's quarters.

VIL spends the night part of his shift looking out at the water on the front of the ship. The dead sailor's body is about 10' away from him with a marine standing watch over it. He has been prepped for a sea burial in the morning.

There are no more signs of a sahuagin raid as far as can be noticed. The night proceeds without incident, and before noon the shifts change once again.

JACK and VIL and GERY are asleep. LOGG, DAI, ZEIG, and DUNN are awake. Whatever mage that isn't crafting at the time is in charge of the ship. Even there is only one alchemy set, you can only craft for 8 hours a day and there are 16 hours that both of you are awake, so it works out that both of you can attempt to craft things. You must decide who crafts first, however, and that will be whoever posts in the OCC or IC thread first for any reason, to make it simple.

The Darksday sun seems a little clouded, and the air is slightly chilly.

The ceremony for the dead sailor is conducted as the shifts swap. It is a very solemn occasions. GERY says a few words and he is gently lifted over the water by the crane, and dropped into the sea with all ten marines lifting their swords in a Cornelian salute.

DAI finishes his crafting for the day at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The MARY is cutting through the waves as swift as she always does, and so far so good. The voyage to Elfheim is halfway complete, and the ship is very nearly over the deepest part of the Aldi.

Giving you guys a chance to say/do anything if you wanted, or to ZEIG post if he wants to craft.

ZEIG, in lieu of crafting, spends the day tending to the injured marines with mundane means and keeping an eye on everyone involved to make sure nobody else shows signs of poisons or any other ill effects. LOGG picked up the slack from the missing sailor. He already occasionally made himself useful despite having a crew and seems to enjoy the added duties.

The Darksday sun sets what seems to be a full half-hour early. The nighttime air in conjunction with the light fog across the water might put everyone edge even without yesterday night's--luckily failed--sahuagin raid. This night, DUNN has suggested that a marine and a petty officer stay in the crows nest. Both have more than one bandanna wrapped around their necks.

Awake:
PCs: JACK
NPCs: VIL, GERY, 1x Petty Officer, 9x

Asleep:
PCs: ZEIG, DAI (in officer's quarters), LOGG (in captain's cabin)
NPCs: Everyone else.

Keep in mind all Light-based save DCs and caster levels suffer -1 (Cure, Heal, Fear, etc) and all Dark-based are increased in the same manner.

JACK is behind the helm, sort of bored of being paranoid, almost hoping something happens to break the monotony. VIL is on the deck of the ship near the large, central mast sharpening his longsword.

At GERY and DUNN's suggestion, lanterns have been hung all around the vessel providing very decent light on the deck. If this were a long voyage, you'd risk running out of oil within the week. Sailors and marines very, very wearily peer over the side of the ship quite often, and the two men in the crows nest are calling out all-clears every thirty seconds to confirm their not being incapacitated. Once or twice they have forgotten and it's raised the tension aboard by a noticeable amount when JACK or VIL has had to call to them for confirmation.

edit-
I suck at spelling.

One of the sailors periodically looking over the edge says "What the hell is that?" in a rather loud tone.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:46, Tue 11 Dec 2012.

00:01, Today: ZEIG rolled 13 using 1d20+4. Listen.

JACK looks at the sailor, then focuses again for a moment.  ZEIG walks out of the room containing the alchemy lab, looking at the sailor's direction.

The sailor continues to look over the side of the boat, but both ZEIG and JACK notice that something seems wrong. He's not moving... at all.
00:32, Today: Secret Roll: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 23 using 1d20+4. Spot.
00:32, Today: Secret Roll: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 20 using 1d20. Spot.

You both (ZEIG and JACK) have one standard action (in the surprise round). Please take your action now, regardless of initiative. It should not matter which order you guys go, so your initiative for the surprise round won't matter. VIL, too, thought something was odd, and is closer to the sailor than the rest of you. Nobody else on deck seems to have noticed what you have about the sailor.

LOGG and DAI, you are both asleep, and need do nothing as of yet. For reference, it is around 11:45pm, Darksday.

Remember: There is a marine and a sailor in the crow's nest, and they called out less than fifteen seconds ago. The sailor and the marine both have heavy crossbows, though the sailor is very unwieldy with it. All deck holes are currently open. Some of the doors on the ship are open as is standard.

Finally, I want you guys to remember that that you do not know what is happening on decks of the ship you are not on, and unless you are prone, even looking through a deck-hole will barely reveal a 5x5' square below you.

VIL drops the whetstone he was using and takes a potion of Cure out from a side-pouch on his backpack. His sword is already in his hand from sharpening it.

Zeig moves 30' down, inspecting the sailor from a distance.

GM Edit-
I updated the above map.
This message was last edited by the GM at 06:25, Fri 17 June 2011.

Jack will move next to the sailor and look over the side. If he sees anything, he'll shout a warning.

10:23, Today: JACK rolled 11 using 1d20 with rolls of 11. Spot.

JACK's eyes widen as he looks over the side of the boat.  He belts out a quick warning to everyone aboard.

LOGG, asleep and with a wall and some distance between he and the action continues to doze.
17:22, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 4 using 1d20-7. DC 6 Listen to awake.
Nobody below decks is capable of succeeding on the check.

The marines on deck all draw their weapons, and the marine on the cannon deck begins ringing the alarm bell loudly.
17:24, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20. cannon deck marine DC 5 Listen check. (to hear JACK)

DAI wakes up at the sound, as does GERY. The alarm bell is finally also enough to wake up LOGG, who was dreaming of a halfling and human woman in his gigantic captain's cabin with him.
17:26, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 2 using 1d20-9. DC -4 (yes, negative) to hear alarm bell.
17:29, Today: teslas, on behalf of LOGG, rolled 2 using 1d20-7. DC 0 Listen to hear alarm bell.

Two columns of water come shooting up from beside the boat, one of which impacts JACK squarely.
17:17, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 2d6+4. water elemental damage.
17:16, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 1d20+6. #7 RTA vs. JACK.
17:15, Today: teslas rolled 21 using 1d20+6. #6 RTA vs. JACK.

Round 1:

Four sahuagin without armor resembling the ones you saw the night before clamber aboard and onto their feet. Their tridents are hung across their back by their shoulder and in one of their hands is a long tube that looks like some kind of exotic bamboo.

This is enough for the sailors to begin diving for cover. The crew in the rigging attempts to make itself as inconspicuous as possible.

The sailor that originally saw the threat is still lying prone with his head over the edge of the ship underneath the low-lying railing.

Zeig focuses and blankets himself, Vil, Jack, the sailor next to Jack, and the marine to the north in an orange veil.  Protectra +2.

During the casting his eyes flash white for a brief moment and the veil shimmers briefly as it settles over the sailor. Pax DC 20

He then moves down 10 feet.

GM Edit-
You can only instill spells of the Healing school with your Divine Interventions. Protectra is of the Enhancing school.

DAI will get out of his bunk, then moved down-right 2 squares(into the doorway), then down 3 squares to stand at the bottom of the stair well producing his wand of lock out of the sleeve of his robe as he runs.

GM Edit-
From DAI in a text message:
Not able to reach a comp, can youedit drawing my 'lock' wand as i move?
He then may or may not have gone on to say:
I adore little boys. I mean, like, really like them. You know... that way.

The marine behind the petty officer controlling the helm moves up beside him with his xbow ready. (Total Defense)

The marine on the cannon deck continues to ring the bell and draws his crossbow.

A crossbow bolt flies down from the crow's nest and into the shoulder of sahuagin #4.
22:38, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d10. damage.
22:38, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 1d20+4. marine xbow vs #4.

The marine on the front of the ship moves over to the starboard side just above the stairwell and fires his crossbow at sahuagin #1, placing a bolt directly through its forearm, nearly sinking it straight into the side of the creature's body toward the heart.
22:40, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d10. damage.
22:40, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 1d20+4. confirm.
22:40, Today: teslas rolled 23 using 1d20+4. marine xbow vs #1.

The marine on the deck near VIL and JACK lets loose a bolt at #1 as well but the shot misses, evidence he is slightly panicked.
22:42, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d20+4. marine vs #1.
He then makes his way to the helm of the vessel in order to help defend it, as he was instructed to do in this event.

Three more sahuagins climb aboard the deck of the MARY and ready their tridents. Unlike the others, they are wearing sleek leather armor that reminds of you of what LOGG wears. Their weapons appear to be slightly more ornate, and they are physically a little larger than what you've seen before.

A scaley hand reaches up and grabs the unconscious sailor by his head, and begins to rip him overboard into the water. JACK grabs onto the sailor's leg and tugs back as hard as he can.
22:51, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d20+3. Sahag RG STR check.
The sailor remains on the deck of the ship, but JACK can tell that something is still hanging from his head that is at least as heavy as a person, and it is obvious to every onlooker that JACK is at best very inconvenienced by this.

JACK: You lose your dexterity modifier to AC while holding on to this sailor. (reducing it by 3 for you). You cannot make attacks of opportunity either. You can move around him (or into his square) freely, and as a Black Belt you can easily still attack any foe within reach.

You also just saved this poor man's life for another six seconds, and do try not to move around too much? You wouldn't want him to wake up with his knee and hip twisted out of socket >_>

JACK, looking down at the sailor, sees an exceptionally large webbed-hand of thick scales slap the deck of the ship. The muscles in its forearms flex and an extremely large, four-armed sahuagin wearing a crown nearly flies up from the side of the boat and lands on the deck 5' away from you and VIL. ZEIG and the marine standing next to it can see the subtle features of its face as it licks its lips and eyes, studying its future prey.

It draws a trident from a sling on its back into its two top hands and two shortswords, one larger than the other, from sheathes hanging from a leathery belt. The trident is dripping red water that dissipates before it hits the ground, and one of the short swords is sparkling with a faint, almost electric, glow. It belts out a string of what could only be described as inhuman words. Knowledge (Local).

23:50, Today: JACK rolled 22 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 14. Grapple of Opportunity.

Clarification:

#6's hand can be seen holding on to the shoulder and back of the neck of the unconscious sailor, but is otherwise not visible to any of you on the deck of the ship.

23:25, Today: LOGG rolled 6 using 1d20+3. Listen check (DC 15).

LOGG hops out of bed, grabbing his buckler.

LOGG jumps to his feet out of bed just like he had practiced a thousand times as a child. He lands looking through the doorway into the captain's cabin, only hearing the action outside through the walls, ceiling, and floor.

The fifth sahuagin that JACK could see finally climbs up onto the deck of the ship. He is holding a staff, much like the sahuagin priest that was encountered yesterday, except his is glowing very slightly, and leaves a faint blue trail as he moves it.

Sahuagin #1 moves 5' closer to the front of the ship in order to partially shield himself from one of the marine's bolts. He then fiddles with the tube he is holding, looking as if he's stuffed something inside of it.

Sahuagin #2 once again claws at JACK, scraping him slightly.
23:38, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4+2. damage.
23:38, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+5. #2 claw vs JACK.

Sahuagin #3 ascends the stairs onto the top of the front half-castle and levels his tube at the marine near the other staircase.
23:40, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+7. #3 blow-gun vs. marine.
23:40, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d4. damage.
The dart sticks into his hand, but the marine seems basically unaffected otherwise.

Sahuagin #4 levels his tube at VIL and spits but the dart bounces off of ZEIG's protective barrier around him.
23:43, Today: teslas rolled 15 using 1d20+7. #4 vs. VIL.

The sailors on board continue to hide themselves apart from the petty officer steering the ship.

Another crossbow bolt flies down from the crows nest, this time careening wildly from end to end, bouncing off of the ships deck and flopping down into the waves.
23:45, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 1d20-2. petty officer xbow vs. #4.

Zeig lets another sailor die.  He opens the door and takes a 5' step inside, readying a Cure spell for Logg when he moves in front of him.

"Sahaugin on board, get out here Logg!"

Jack tries to get the sailor away from the sahuagin.

Not at my desktop at work, so forgive me.

14:34, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20+3. royal guard STR check to keep sailor.
14:33, Today: teslas, on behalf of JACK, rolled 20 using 1d20+4. STR check to pull sailor away.

JACK yanks the sailor out of the claw of the sahuagin on the side of the ship and moves him to a safer position.

You provoke an AoO from #2 and the Baron (who has reach as a large, tall creature). You are counted as being under a medium load for this movement due to the sailor's weight and therefore lose your Black Belt speed feature and some of your AC for this movement. You can pull the sailor up to 40' in any way you want (30' base + Deck Boots). This only requires a Move action, therefore you will have a Standard action left afterward (or you could use it first, say to punch someone or to go on Total Defense before you move.)

Jack punches the fish in the throat (Sahuagin Prince) Then tumbles (down-left 5ft., down 5 ft., down-left 5ft. (counts as 10) trying to get the man to Zeig.

16:36, Today: JACK rolled 15 using 1d8+13 with rolls of 2. Tumble (Sahuagin Baron).
16:36, Today: JACK rolled 15 using 1d8+13 with rolls of 2. Tumble (Sahuagin 2).
16:36, Today: JACK rolled 18 using 1d8+13 with rolls of 5. Tumble (Sahuagin Prince).
16:35, Today: JACK rolled 7 using 1d8+4 with rolls of 3. Damage 2.
16:34, Today: JACK rolled 7 using 1d8+4 with rolls of 3. Damage 1.
16:34, Today: JACK rolled 15 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 7. Attack 2 (Sahuagin Prince).
16:34, Today: JACK rolled 24 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 16. Attack 1 (Sahuagin Prince).

JACK's first punch connects with the prince's face, obviously infuriating it. It is further enraged when JACK gracefully backflips out of range of any retribution. However, due to the strain of keeping a hand around the sailor's leg and pulling him away from the dangling sahuagin, both the sahuagin raider in front of him and the large, imposing sahuagin baron are able to claw and jab at JACK as he moves by.
16:10, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4+2. damage.
16:10, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 1d20+5. #2 AoO vs. JACK.
The raider scratches JACK in the arm once again.
16:12, Today: teslas rolled 16 using 1d20+12. Baron Elec. Shortsword AoO vs. JACK.
The baron attempts to poke him with one of the shortswords with its lower arms as he moves by, but mistook the distance with the small blade.

He ends his movement 20' away from where he was, with the sailor he's dragging behind now lying in the square with the marine.

Upon seeing the odds against them, VIL decides to attempt to level the playing field. Chainspell. Sleep on Prince. Sleep on #2. Sleep on #6's hand. Sleep on Baron. Sleep on #7.
The Prince and the the unarmored raider next to him shut their eyes and droop their heads. The hand of #6 on the deck loosens then slides off, and everyone can hear a splash follow a couple seconds later. The Baron doesn't even seem to have noticed being a target of the spell, and #7 shakes its head vigorously back and forth but seems otherwise unaffected.

VIL then takes a step toward the sleeping Prince, looking as if he's intending to end its life.

DAI climbs up the stairwell, deciding to go to the top deck for now(20 ft of movement), he keeps his place at the top, before looking over the scene below him, and letting loose a blast of magical stones at the large, grotesque Sahuagin.

15:10, Today: DAI rolled 19 using 2d12+7. stone damage(PBS) baron.
15:09, Today: DAI rolled 15 using 1d20+5. stone(RTA)(PBS) baron.
17:43, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 18 using 2d12+6. stone damage.
17:43, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 15 using 1d20+4. Stone RTA vs. Baron.
Rough terrain below his bottom-right corner, and 7.

GM Edit-
Just barely out of range of PBS. If you were on the deck with the Baron, you'd be fine, but you're 10' above it.

DAI's rocks impacting upon the body of the sahuagin Baron sound like ineffectual punches against a punching bag full of sand. Despite the sound, he is still visibly injured.

The marine on the cannon deck makes his way topside, sword in one hand and loaded crossbow in the other. He stops once he arrives on the Upper Deck, standing next to the Sahuagin Royal Guard (#7). He is wearing medium armor, and therefore had to use two movements to get to where he is.

The marine next to the petty officer steering the ship steps up to the railing and fires his crossbow at Sahuagin #9 but doesn't appear to do any meaningful damage through the creature's tough hide.
20:31, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20+4. marine xbow vs #9.

The marine on the front of the ship moves up behind the mast opposite of sahuagin #3 and reloads his crossbow.

The marine on the deck of the ship directly next to the Baron takes a 5' step toward the helm (down) and gives a valiant try at cutting the large sahuagin, but fails to so much as attract special attention. "Group up and defend the helm!" he yells to the other marines.
20:33, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 1d20+6. marine lsword vs. Baron.

#7 steps to the left 5' and swings his trident at the marine arriving from the cannon deck, but misses, then attempts to bite him as he parries the initial blow, but that, too, misses.
20:37, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d20+5. #7 bite vs. marine.
20:36, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d20+8. #7 vs. marine.

#8 charges JACK, sinking all three prongs of his trident into JACK's outstretched arm, mangling it badly.
20:38, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d8+4. damage.
20:38, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 1d20+10. confirm.
20:38, Today: teslas rolled 30 using 1d20+10. #8 charge trident vs. JACK.

#9 does the same, this time pinching him between the Baron and its trident, further mangling his outstretched arm.
20:41, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 1d8+4. damage.
20:41, Today: teslas rolled 22 using 1d20+12. #8 charge/flank vs. JACK.

The sahag Baron chuckles loudly in a grotesque gurgling fashion. He begins to get to work with his veritable armament of weapons. He first strikes at the marine in front of him with his dripping trident, nearly sending it through his chest. In addition to the grievous wound in the marine's chest through his breastplate, his cheeks sink in slightly and some of the baron's bruising from DAI's stones disappears.
20:43, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d6-1. drain.
20:43, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 1d8+7. damage.
20:43, Today: teslas rolled 24 using 1d20+10. Baron 1st Trident vs. marine.
He brings the trident around for another attack to finish him off, but misses as ZEIG's magical barrier deflects the blow.
20:46, Today: teslas rolled 16 using 1d20+5. Baron 2nd Trident vs. marine .
Furious, he continues his onslaught, attempting to bite the marine with its massive mouth, again missing.
20:47, Today: teslas rolled 9 using 1d20+7. Baron bite vs. marine.
Even more furious at the marine's defiance, both shortswords fling at him from opposite directions killing him outright as he is cut in half, tiny amounts of electrical sparks flying behind one of the weapons.
20:49, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d8+3. large ss damage.
20:49, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d6. damage.
20:49, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d6+3. lightning ss damage.
20:48, Today: teslas rolled 29 using 1d20+11. Baron large ss. vs marine.
20:48, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+10. Baron lightning ss. vs marine.

Taking turn for LOGG according to his instructions, as discussed in OOC.
LOGG straps his buckler to his arm as he runs out in front of ZEIG on the deck. Much to his horror the first thing he sees is an enormous sahuagin and two halves of what used to be a marine flop onto the deck, gushing blood.

ZEIG casts Cure on LOGG as he moves by.
20:57, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d8+6. ZEIG's Cure on LOGG.

LOGG then decides to stand his ground, in front of ZEIG, shielding him somewhat, and wait to see if a more advantageous solution presents itself soon. Total Defense.

GERY continues to make his way to the helm.

The Sahuagin Prince dozes peacefully.

Sahuagin Raider #1 wiggles the prince back awake.

#2 dozes peacefully.

#3, much like the marine he's trying to dart, moves next to the mast and fiddles with his tube.

#4 also fiddles with its tube, reloading it.

The sailors on board continue hiding. (And will for the rest of the combat. I will not take turns for them again unless they are threatened.)
