Keenan returns to his allies, and explains the situation.

"I will remain invisible, and try to flank these creatures. You two engage them, and I'll get the drop on them."

Goran doesn't need to be told twice. He readies his sword and shield and marches into the room, both confident and angry. "Which one of you bastards tried to drop me and my friends under the waves?" he snarls.

As soon as Caswell sees an opening he cast magic missile on the left being.

08:42, Today: Caswell Blackhart rolled 10 using 2d6+3 ((5,2)).

The two creatures spring up, spears at the ready. They spy Goran and charge! Keenan worms his way while invisible over wooden bunks to get an advantage against these beasts, and Caswell holds steady waiting for his opening.

The first fish-man reaches Goran and attempts to impale him on his spear.

Goran, what do you do!?

Keenan waits for the creatures to pass, then he gores the closest one from behind with his rapiers.

As one of the gruesome fish-men is attacked by the (now visible) Keenan, Goran slashes at the other with his prized broadsword.

10:21, Today: Goran rolled 6 using 2d6+2 ((3,1)).

And Goran marks XP.

The fish creature jabs at Goran with his spear. Goran attempts to parry the attack and then counter attack, but he acts a split second too late. The creature buries the end if the spear into Goran's shoulder.

Goran take 12 points of damage.

Keenan lies in wait for the right moment, then springs forward and attacks the rear fish monster with both his rapiers.

Keenan roll damage.

Caswell, select a creature to target with your magic middle and roll damage.

Today:Keenan Arrow-Eye, rolled 8 using 1d8+2.  Damage to fish monster.

21:54, Today: Caswell Blackhart rolled 6 using 2d4 ((2,4)).

Goran underestimates the fish-man's speed and keeps his shield just a hair too low, allowing his opponent to impale his shoulder with a crude spear. In response, Goran growls with rage and brings his sword down onto the creature's head as if he were splitting a rotted log.

22:08, Today: Goran rolled 12 using 2d6+2 ((6,4)).

Goran will roll normal damage and avoid a counterattack (since the fish-man's weapon is still stuck in his limb).


22:12, Today: Goran rolled 8 using 1d10+1d4+1 ((3,4)).

Goran is struggling with a spear jammed into his shoulder. He knocks the creature back with his shield, then hacks down with his sword. The Fish-man is able to get an arm up in a defensive posture to deflect some of the attack.

Caswell lets loose with his magic missile, which zips around Goran and impacts with the front most Fish-man. He crumples to the ground in a dead heap.

Keenan strikes his target and causes a brutal injury, but is surprised to see the Fish-man spin around and counter attack with it's spear.

Keenan what do you do to defend against this attack?

Goran and Caswell, what do you do?

Keenan rolls a 9 to dodge out of the way, but the fish monster lands a glancing blow...

Goran pulls the spear from his shoulder and pushes forward, stabbing at the remaining fish-man from behind.

Attack Roll: 7
Damage Roll: 5

19:23, Today: Goran rolled 7 using 2d6+2 ((3,2)).
19:23, Today: Goran rolled 5 using 1d10+1d4+1 ((3,1)).

Keenan attempts to dodge the Spear, but the fish man hits a glancing blow.

Keenan takes 4 damage.

Caswell flicks out his dagger, creating a horrible gash into the back of the creature. It lets out with a gargle of a howl and collapses to the ground.

For good measure, Goran marches over and gives it a few more hacks just to be sure.

Both the fish monsters are dead. What do you do?

Goran's wounded, but he's not yet taking the time to heal his wounds. Instead, he simply gathers his gear and resolves to push forward; he can worry about his cuts and bruises once the ship and the Odyssey's survivors make their way to land.

Keenan takes a moment to bind his wound with bandages from his pack. Once finished he investigates into what these fish monsters where doing when he entered the room...

Goran takes a moment to calm down; once he's a bit more restrained, he realize that he has an open wound, too. So he takes a cue from the much more pragmatic elf and tends to the fresh spear wound on his shoulder (one use of Bandages from his gear).

Caswell looks distant after killing something with his "bare" hands.

Keenan, you observe what the fish monsters seemed to be so interested in. You find a strange pouch that seems to be made out of fish skin. You can tell it has several small objects clattering around inside. When you empty the contents into your hand, you realize they are humanoid teeth.

As you all regroup, Captain Tryke investigates your handy work. "Fish Mongrels." he says with distaste. "We have never seen them in these waters before. What are they doing here now?" He thinks for a moment, then says "We have to get off this ship. It's surly dead in the water. Fish Mongrels destroy the rudders of the ships they mean to pillage. Our only hope is to escape on an emergency craft if any still remain on the deck."

There is a door directly head and the door behind you leading back into the cargo hold. What do you do?

Goran already knows what's behind him, and none of it's particularly useful, so he voices his vote for moving forward. He offers to take up the point position, so he can have first dibs on any other fish mongrels who might still be lurking.

"The cult of Nergal is on this ship. We must look for clues of how to counter their plot."

Keenan takes up position behind Goran, ready to assist him in exploring the next area.

Caswell falls in line in between him companions and the sailors.

With everyone ready to move, Goran opens the door and careful advances into the next room. It is a short hallway with a wooden ladder leading up. "We must be at the stern of the ship." Captain Tryke says. "Up this latter is the sub deck. Once we are pasted that we can get up on deck and look for a way off this ship. Pray Ea we do not run into any more fish mongrels."

Goran slowly scales the ladder and peeks around at the next floor.

Goran, there are several candles swinging from simple holders which provides you plenty of light so see corpses laying about with a group of fish mongrels pillaging them for 'Trophies.'

Goran, roll defy danger dex.

Goran Defies Danger using Dexterity.

06:38, Today: Goran rolled 5 using 2d6 ((3,2)).

And Goran marks XP.
