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.

Once again, if you have any questions about the map, check the Party Inventory thread and then ask in the OOC if you're still confused.
