Fellowship of the Dice

Meri has gotten a bit more used to life with land-creatures, but she still lacks much of the knowledge about who is who and who hates whom. "So umm...who are the Cheliax? and why do we hate them? Are we going to go kill those people over there?"

"They are a bunch of tyrants who fornicate with devils." Flavinia doesn't quite believe that, but she says it anyway. "Slavery, human sacrifice, fiendish pacts, barter with souls, the world would be well rid of their infernal thrice damned Queen and her Hellknights, they eat babies, they do."

"Ahh...do you think they've taken my sister? I hope she is not a slave right now. I would be MOST upset. Now, how do we want to proceed? I have some skill in ship construction...and I can be underwater for any length of time. Is there some sort of sabotage I can do ahead of time?"

"On that ship? Doubtful" Flavinia shakes her head. "Most likely that ship is just a merchantman, even evil empires are mostly built on the backs of ordinary folk who just want to put food on the table, might be slaves working it. Suspicion of slavery is an even better reason for boarding than fun and plunder".

"other chelaxians might have taken your sister, so might a great many other sorts of people"

The captain gives the order, attack!

All hands on deck, your ship tacks to an intercept course. Your helmsmen is better than theirs, and you close the gap to the ship in a matter of an hour. Finally coming into range you fire a few of your ballista into the rigging of the enemy ship slowing it even more. Captain Roderick turns over the wheel to Rosie as he moves down to the railing as you come within boarding range. You are almost there, just a few more moments and your grappling hooks will go over the side...

"Get ready!" Rod draws his rapier and grins merrily at the prospect of battle.

In quick preparation, Seroneth unleashes a pair of spells - one for herself, and the other she shares with her allies. She then draws her blade Vengeance, and a thrill of anticipation runs down her spine. "Ready, my pet?" she asks the blade.

Always, comes the answer.

Soaking wet from the bucket of salt water that he just dumped over his head Xie mutters a prayer and casts ice armor on himself. He grabs his glaive and gets ready to board the enemy's ship. "Let's take these devil fornicators down!"

"Don't want you in the water, can't have all that flailing followed by drowning!" Flavinia teases as she casts a fly spell for the clumsy cleric and transfers it by patting him on the head as if he were a child, something she seems to think very funny.

Meri protects herself with a shield spell, forming a see-through oval-shaped forcefield in front of her. The mermaid also uses a cantrip to raise her resistances a little bit. "Thanks for making me faster. I appreciate it!" she says in response to the Haste.
