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.
