Re: MUTINY!: Round 1
Not wasting any time, Maggie draws her rapier and in one motion, stabs at Scourge, leaning into the blow to try and make it hurt all the more.

"Freedom!" Rod shouts as he charges forward, passing a surprised Fipps and coming at Jape from behind. "Have a face full o' me boot ye jelly boned thumb suckin' crud bucket!"
With that, he leaps at Jape, kicking and slashing with his cutlass.

Re: MUTINY!: Round 1
Maggie doesn't wait, she draws her own blade, a rapier, and stabs Scourge in the thigh. The weapon pierces his flesh and muscle and he yelps in pain, "You bitch! I'll have my way with you before the night is over!" Maggie yanks her blade free and blood runs down the Bosun's leg.
Toruk, seconds before the hostile sailors...

Re: MUTINY!: Round 1
Toruk gasps when Scourge guts Aya, "Aya!" In a fit of anger, the Undine caster unclasps his morningstar from his chain belt and moves in on his first victim. Moving around the mounted harpoon and partially down the stairs, "Shivikah! We have some unfinished business!" Toruk unleashes a vicious swing in hopes of braining the one who made them late.

MUTINY!: Round 2
Then those sailors loyal to Plugg and Scourge counter attack. They draw various weapons, belaying pins, brass knives, and one, Tam Narwahl, even has a light crossbow in hand and fires it at Conchobhar. The enemy sailors spend most of their first chance simply getting ready, the few swings miss or are parried.
Jape and Shivikah both are so badly wounded they give up! Hands in their airs they withdraw trying to get clear of the fight hiding behind barrels or masts, they cower in fear and pain.
Scourge is shouting, "Fight you dogs! Fight!" He yanks his masterwork handaxe from his belt, and let's the bloody dagger fall to the deck. With his axe in hand he turns on Maggie, "You flaming bitch! I'll carve you up!" He swings his axe into Maggie's arm and cleaves a deep bloody line through her clothing and her flesh! "You are mine!" He starts to chuckle a bit as the blood sprays on the deck.
Aya, as Plugg is recovered but still prone....

Aya, as Plugg is recovered but still prone, retorts. "You're just a boot-sucker, Scourge. Better get down to your usual perspective," the bard shouts back. She doesn't swing her rapier but continues to cheer on her allies and gestures to a spot on the deck near Plugg and Scourge. "Let death be swift though none of you deserves one so easily! You drop your weapons and you live. Don't and you won't!"

Re: MUTINY!: Round 2
Plugg's laughter over he points both pistols at Aya, "DIE!" There is then the resounding blast of the brace of pistols firing. Plugg unloads both weapons right at Aya. His guns spark and boom, smoke rises from the flintlock chamber and two bullets fly out. At the last moment Plugg slips a bit in the grease so his left gun's aim is off and the bullet flies into the railing blowing it to pieces. The other, his right, however catches Aya on the leg and punches through her light armor and her skin. It is a Besmara Miracle, for Aya's only grazed and barely notices the blast!
Your allies on the ship, inspired by Aya, and your sudden onslaught lay into the enemies. At the bow of the ship Cog and Kroop swing their make shift weapons at Ratline as they move to flank the man. Unable to connect however they keep him busy down there.
Midship Rosie and Conchobahr pile on Giffer. Rosie has a knife in her hand and she slams it into the belly of Giffer, and then yanks it this way, then that, and opens up his belly in a long horizontal wound. The man screams as his intestines spill out onto the deck. "Ooops did I do that?" Rosie quips with a bit of feigned remorse.
Aft of the shift Badger and Owlbear team up on Slippery Syl. Its Badger the older woman that connects with her bucket of tar with Sly and brains him with the heavy container. The man drops to the deck, shaken up, bewildered and covered in hot tar. He's out of the fight.
Sandara moves up with Maheem, "Let's get him!" The pair of women target Fipps but he has a oar in hand and parries both of the attacks leveled at him.
Things are looking good for your allies, if only Plugg and Scourge can be dealt with. Toruk, Rod, Maggie, and Davok....

Re: MUTINY!: Round 2
Toruk is momentarily proud of himself for causing Shivikah lose the will to continue. While that attack was personal, sailing a ship takes a big crew and it would be wise not to slay them all. Thinking the others will fall in line once their leaders fall, "Focus on Plugg and Scourge!" The Undine sends two aqueous looking orbs from his hands, each one directed at Plugg and Scourge respectively.

Davok continues to lay into plug with his cutlass and spiked shield. "We'll hoist ye by the yard arm ye one eyed bow legged harbor hog!"
