Berek flicks blood from his axe as foam drools from his mouth the enraged Dwarf screams.

Re: Farshore Burning - Round 4
The pain in Wavedancer's head momentarily diminishes after he sees the Pirate Captain fall. Berek is now in the thick of things so Wavedaner trys to take out as many of the pirate thugs as possible so Berek doesn't get surrounded.
Standing his ground, Wavedancer shifts the point of his spear slight to the left and let erupt another two ribbons of fire direction each at two different pirate creeps.

Farshore Burning - Rounds 4/5
Wavedancer fights back the pain in his head and tries to clear the decks for Berek. Two more rays of fire fly. One strikes a pirate straight on. But a stab of pain ruins the half-elf's aim on the second one.
The colonists then strike back, but only one blow connects. Still, it's a decent hit, cutting open a gash in the pirate's leg.
Following this, the pirates react. The one that can, attacks Berek, giving the dwarf a light cut on the shoulder; another takes on a colonist, but sees his blow parried. Two rush Wavedancer, but can't hit even one of his images. the last two in the square simply flee in terror. Finally, the five near Daerith swarm him, one moving around the building to get him from behind. Four scimitars swing, and one dagger flies. But Daerith ducks past the dagger and spins around, using Torothalion to parry each of the four attacks in turn.
Fin, just arriving on the scene, and the other Sea Wyverns, have a chance to react.

Re: Farshore Burning - Rounds 4/5
Wavedancer fights back against the terror that is slowly growing in this pit of his belly. Two partial spell failures has Wavedancer rattled more than he has ever been before.
Struggling through the pain, Wavedancer tries the spell one more time before giving up on it altogether. Leveling the spear parallel with the ground so that the point is aiming at one pirate and the butt is aiming at the other, Wavedancer channels his magical energies at both pirates again. Gritting his teeth, he doubles his effort at concentration since both pirates are right on top of him.

Daerith laughs, "Why thank you for coming to me!" His blade is still flaming with black fire, and the touch of it will drain a man of his strength and burn his flesh at the same time. Dancing almost he sweeps around, hasted, and nearly impossible to dodge, Torothalion strikes three times just before Daerith summons another spell to his lips and unleashes bright red flames to ripple over the pirates. 'I've killed Anvil, now I'll kill you. you Crimson Pirates will regret ever coming to Farshore or messing with the Sea Wyverns!"

There's only one more pirate for Berek to slay and he takes him out swiftly before moving past to colonists to kill the remaining pirate.

Fin arrives at the scene and is immediately met with a pirate in his face attacking Wavedancer. In response, Fin stabs out at the pirate with his trident hoping to remove the pirates' advantage.

Re: Farshore Burning - Rounds 4/5
Fin, just arriving at the scene, stabs with his trident at one of the pirates threatening Wavedancer, dropping the man to the ground. But then he looks at the half-sea-elf and sees blood coming from his ears. Something has happened to Wavedancer, and it isn't good.
Berek, with but two pirates left, moves to dispatch them both. At first he's a bit overconfident, a fact that the first pirate takes advantage of by parrying the blow. But then he gets down to brass tacks and slams his spiked shield into the man. Having been injured already by one of the colonists, this pirate falls dead to the ground. Then Berek moves quicker than the other pirate would have expected, getting into melee range, and dropping the startled man with two quick blows.
One of the colonists turns to Berek and says, "I don't know who you are, sir, but you have our thanks for coming to our aid."
Meanwhile, on the far side of the chapel, Daeirith is surrounded by five pirates. Torothalion swings and the number drops to four. Another swing, and there are only three. A third swing and the magus only faces two. Then Daerith holds up his sword and calls fire down upon the remaining two, hitting them both squarely on. The two remain standing, but both are burned badly.
Wavedancer, with a single wounded pirate remaining against him, acts.

The colonist militia give Berek and the others a quick salute and say they must be off to run down these pirates. Moments later, they rush off into the smoke, headed deeper into the town. However, on the far side of the building Berek is standing in front of, he can see some of the colonists frantically trying to put out the fire, while others try and save things from inside.
Fin and the other Sea Wyverns, with few enemies in sight, can act.
