Re: Round 6: Fleeing Sailors
"Now where are ye going, rat?" Roderik moves toward the fleeing sailor, feints with his cutlass and then attempts to kick the man's feet from under him.

Re: Round 6: Fleeing Sailors
Roderick comes running from the port stairs and cross the deck. As he slides into join the melee he snaps a kick into the sailor's knee sending him toppling to the deck.
Sandara moves up to the rail between sterncastle and aft deck and draws her heavycross bow, loads it, and braces it on the railing now ready to fire on your foes. "Give'm hell lads!"
Maggie and Toruk a moment before Jain...

Re: Round 6: Fleeing Sailors
Seeing that everyone else seems to have matters in hand with the last enemy sailor, Maggie moves port to cover the other set of stairs. "Mind the starboard stairs," she says to Toruk as she heads off.

Re: Round 6: Fleeing Sailors
"Got it!"
Toruk moves forward and stands on the stairs. He peers into the fog trying to get a glimpse of another wave of sailors.

Round 7 - 10: The Tides of Battle
Through the fading fog you can make out the fighting on the rest of the ship. Scattered Rahadoumi crew are fighting for their lives or are surrendering. You watch as Rosie Cuswell kicks a man in the groin and the accepts his surrender with a smile. Another man has his throat slit by Scourge as he slips up behind the Man's Promise sailor who has just thrown down his sword -- Scourge slices his throat anyhow.
The battle rages on down on the ship, but for you hold your position, and you hold it well. For the moment you have a chance to regroup. As you do you watch breifly as Captain Harrigan appears from below deck for just a moment with what appears to be a human hear in his hands! He shouts something and then slips below deck again.
You hold your ground....

Re: Round 7 - 10: The Tides of Battle
"That went quite quickly," Aya says, her voice no longer melodic and cheering her fellow sailors on. She grins at the annihilated groin of one Rhadoumi while trying to ignore the pointless bloodshed by Scourge. Not that she thinks his actions are wrong just that they have no purpose as far as the young kitsune can tell. With their fighting done here at the boats she returns to the aftdeck, glad that her armor was not tested against an opponent as she knows full well that it is only little protection.

Re: Round 7 - 10: The Tides of Battle
Toruk maintains his position on the starboard stairs. He was ordered to guard them and that he would try to do. Knowing he has enough power to cast but one more offensive, he draws his morningstar and gives it a few swings. It has always felt slightly foreign in his hands and now is no different.

Re: Round 7 - 10: The Tides of Battle
"Let's get back to the quarterdeck everyone," Maggie calls out. "Guard the stairways and get ready to defend against anyone who tries to take back the wheel." Then, for good measure, she calls upon Besmara for some healing if any of the boarding party has been injured.

Rod bows to Maggie. "Aye aye my lady." He blows her a kiss and returns to guard the port stairs again, cutlass in hand.

Round 11: Abandon Ship
Sandara has her new crossbow in hand, and once Maggie channels the power of Besmara to heal the group she looks to do the same. The wave of healing power from Maggie helps Jain and Rod, the group is refreshed and ready, but still Jain has some bad wounds. So Sandara also channels energy, "Besmara you greedy bitch, heal my companions for me! Now!" She forces her hands out and the healing is twice as powerful as Maggies. Everyone is feeling good.
People position themselves, with crossbows and weapons. Jain stands at the bottom of the stairs, he's snarling and swinging his blade, "Come on! More blood! Bring it on you scurvy dogs!"
You don't have to wait long in less than twenty seconds you can see the fog nearly all gone now reveals the battle going on all over the bow of the ship. From here you are witness to a sad sight. Jack Scrimshaw, the young man that's helped Aya a few times takes a cutlass to the back and is slain by the crew of the Man's Promise. There are sure to be other deaths, a hard thing to face when your small group has done so well.
Then out of the chaos comes running a Rahadoumi Officer with two sailors at her side. She points at the starboard boat, giving her men orders, "Abandon Ship!" They look to escape, and your brief rest is over.
As the enemy appear from below deck they make for the ships, and you open fire, waiting and ready...
