[15:33] Laharl01: ((Spot 13, on the deck of the Wyvern))
[15:35] theonecag: Those who rolled below twenty can't make much out of the smoky chaos that has enveloped the harbor, but can tell the four greatships are heading directly for it.
[15:35] *** Zanaikin has left the chat.
[15:36] *** Zanaikin has joined the chat.
[15:36] theonecag: Those who rolled between 20-30 can tell that none of the dromonds or pinnacles have enterred the harbor, but instead approach the harbor, sailing by to attack the wall before breaking off.
[15:36] Squall2551337: Alexius expends his psionic focus while casting Inertial armor (1 PP) and then spends a move action to refocus (Concentration check 26)
[15:37] *** Zanaikin has left the chat.
[15:37] *** Zanaikin has joined the chat.
[15:37] theonecag: Those who beat 30 can tell that two of the greatships are altering their course a bit, and seem to be aiming towards the weaker sections of the wall.
[15:38] theonecag: At present, you currently about a mile from the opposing fleet.
[15:38] *** Zanaikin has left the chat.
[15:39] *** Zanaikin has joined the chat.
[15:39] theonecag: Demetrius: What are those two greatship off to the side doing?
[15:39] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser activates his ring of arming, summoning his armor onto him and his shield onto his back. He leaves the light level of the glowing orb in the chest of his armor at no light.
[15:40] theonecag: Faerlan: Looks like they're heading for the weakened wall sections.
[15:40] theonecag: Demetrius: We can't possibly reach them in time.
[15:41] Squall2551337: ALexius: "If you can get me within a few hundred feet, I can get their attention."
[15:41] Zanaikin: Faina: Especially not when a number of their other ships seems to be coming in at us.
[15:41] Laharl01: Anton activates his ring of arming as well, calling his armor and shield into place. The Mental Blade still hangs at his waist, as no enemy is even near range yet.
[15:41] Laharl01: (Super ultra sexy transformation sequence GO!)
[15:42] Zanaikin: (Faina casts Mass Energy Resistance (Fire) on party [20 resist])
[15:42] Zanaikin: (casts Greater Mage Armor & Barkskin on self, sharing it with familiar companion)
[15:43] Zanaikin: (Spot: 43 for location of Wyverns)
[15:44] judson256: Devlan casts Sign on himself
[15:44] theonecag: Suddenly, a great roar is heard coming from the direction of the farthest ship on the port side. All aboard watch in terror as a Wyvern rider surge towards the pinnacle at the end of the formation.
[15:45] theonecag: Several spells are unleashed upon the foul creature, including a lightning bolt, which pierce both the wyvern and the rider.
[15:45] theonecag: Unfortunately, the trajectory is not in your favor, and the fallen beast lifelessly collides with the ships only mast, taking it down.
[15:47] theonecag: Faina can see two or three flying through the clouds of smoke in the harbor, and four guarding the greatships.
[15:47] theonecag: The formation is a half-mile from the enemy, and closing.
[15:49] theonecag: Demetrius: Prepare for Battle! (Activates auras, +2 AC, +5 to init)
[15:51] theonecag: The ship formations are now within three to four minutes of each other
[15:52] Zanaikin: (Faina casts invisibility on self, share with Familiar, then takes off from the Wyvern with Strelka)
[15:52] judson256: Devlan casts Water Breathing on the whole party, except Faina
[15:53] Zanaikin: (Faina then casts See Invisibility and Call Lightning)
[15:54] Zanaikin: (followed by Minor Image for an exact replica of her, concentrating it to take off from the Wyvern, move parallel to her on opposide side of formation)
[15:55] theonecag: (Initiatives)
[15:55] Laharl01: (19)
[15:56] Zanaikin: (20)
[15:56] Squall2551337: (Alexius Initiative: 19, 18 dex)
[15:56] Laharl01: (11dex)
[15:57] ForSovietRussia: (25 Initiative (rolled an 18), 16 Dex)
[15:57] ForSovietRussia: (correction, make that 26)
[15:57] judson256: (30 init, 16dex)
[15:59] theonecag: The ships are now within 1000ft.
[16:00] theonecag: The Sea Wyvern is being matched by a pinnacle with several terrifying spikes attached to the bow.
[16:01] Zanaikin: (casts Ghostly Reload on crossbow, drop Strelka close to the ship and casts Clairaudience by Tannhauser)
[16:02] Zanaikin: (nvm on the Clairaudience)
[16:02] theonecag: 900ft...
[16:03] theonecag: 800ft...
[16:05] Squall2551337: Alexius's eyes flare with chaotic energy as he releases psionice energy. A ball of electricity explodes on the bow of the nearest Dromond.
[16:06] Zanaikin: (Faina concentrates on the image, as it begin an aerial dash towards the enemy formation's left flank [400ft])
[16:06] Zanaikin: (meanwhile she direct Strelka to surge forward on the right flank by 400ft)
[16:09] Squall2551337: (Wild Surging Electric Energy ball. 77% enervation check, 22% Chaotic surge. 35 Electric damage, Ref save DC 22 for half
[16:10] Squall2551337: followed by a move action to regain psionic focus (Concentration 33)
[16:10] ForSovietRussia: (Knowledge (Geography) to remember underwater hazards in the area: 28)
[16:11] theonecag: The blast of electricity sores towards the approaching ship, hitting its front hull sections and sending wood and spikes blasting out in all directions. Followed by screams of terror. But the ship continues on its course.
[16:12] theonecag: Tanhauser knows that the closer to shore one is, the worse the danger, but at his present location, he's far away from such things.
[16:13] theonecag: 700ft...
[16:14] theonecag: Faina knows the pinnace class ship is normally armed with a ballista, and moves at about the same pace at a caravel.
[16:15] judson256: Devlan casts Invisibility on himself
[16:16] Zanaikin: (Faina's staying 400ft ahead of the current formation)
[16:16] Zanaikin: (*allied formation, i should say)
[16:17] theonecag: 600ft...
[16:17] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser orders his crew to load the bombard
[16:17] theonecag: Faerlan: Been ready for the last 5 minutes, sir.
[16:18] theonecag: 500ft...
[16:19] Zanaikin: (spot: 40)
[16:20] theonecag: Faina notices that on board each of the greatships, glowing circles have formed, Even from here, she can tell their magic is fiendish in nature.
[16:20] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser pulls down his tinted goggles as his eyes begin to flare blue.
[16:20] Zanaikin: (Faina concentrates on her image to move forward, soaring past the enemy's left flank on a close attack vector within 50ft of the enemy ships)
[16:21] Zanaikin: (spellcraft: 36, know(planes); 12 untrained)
[16:21] theonecag: A blast of eldritch power catches it on its pass. Destroying it.
[16:22] theonecag: Faina know's that its definitely a summoning ritual of some sort, and based on the feedback, its certainly going to be something from the Lower Planes.
[16:23] Zanaikin: (Faina makes the appropriate reaction from the enemy lightning bolt regarding the image)
[16:23] Zanaikin: (save to disblief: will DC 16)
[16:23] theonecag: 500ft...
[16:23] theonecag: ((400ft...))
[16:24] Zanaikin: (Faina reliquishing control over the image, its last command being to fly about the enemy's flanks in close proximity and firing at them [last 2 rounds])
[16:25] theonecag: The ship's crew go to attack it, but then act as though be ordered to ignore it.
[16:25] Zanaikin: (she then dashes too the enemy's right flank, staying within 150ft of the enemy, and fires off a fireball towards the center of the enemy's right dromond)
[16:26] theonecag: A great blast of fire erupts onto the deck, resulting in flaming crewmen falling overboard.
[16:26] Zanaikin: (invisibility dispelled auto, 33 fire damage centered on enemy ship, making sure targeting catches rigging, sails, on deck ropes and such)
[16:26] theonecag: Just as Faina moves in, two blasts of infernal power fly towards her.
[16:26] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser gives the order to fire the bombard and ballistas when the ship comes into range.
[16:27] theonecag: Faerlan: No, really? I was thinking we'd invite them over for a pint.
[16:28] theonecag: Faerlan: ...sir.
[16:32] theonecag: The first of he blasts flies low, but the second is a dead on hit, exploding in a blast of fire. (20 fire damage, roll a reflex save)
[16:32] Zanaikin: (spot: 43 for positions of the originator of those 2 casters)
[16:33] theonecag: As soon as the blasts go off, to particularly evil men in black and red robes materialize near the helm.
[16:35] theonecag: Some of the rigging has caught on fire aboard the ship Faina fireballed.
[16:35] theonecag: 300ft...
[16:37] Zanaikin: (Faina casts Raging Flame on the dromond she set alight, and tells Strelka to steer away from the frontal units at double speed [to 350ft out]...)
[16:39] Zanaikin: (...towards the rear dromond, maintaining range of 300ft from it)
[16:39] theonecag: The flames intensify, and more flaming bodies fall over the side. Also, the fire is climbing the main mast.
[16:41] theonecag: At 200ft feet, ranged projectiles begin to be exchanged between the two fleets.
[16:42] theonecag: A large flaming projectile is lauched from the far left enemy dromond, hitting the water line of a friendly caravel is blast of flame.
[16:42] theonecag: Panic ensues as the ship begins to take on water.
[16:43] Zanaikin: (Faina urges Strelka to move closer to the rear Dromond to within 180ft, where she discharges a shatterfloor at the ship's right side)
[16:44] theonecag: As per the last one, two eldritch blasts fly up at Faina as she passes over, both scoring direct hits.
[16:44] Zanaikin: (change: discharge at ship's fore mount, centered around the mount and catching all the front hull within its 15ft radius area)
[16:46] Zanaikin: (damage: 27 sonic to any creatures in area, completely pulverizes any wooden planking)
[16:46] theonecag: (24 damage from the first, 25 from the second)
[16:49] theonecag: The spell Faina casts seems to have been dispelled.
[16:50] Zanaikin: (Faina curses, clutching the wounds dealt by those eldritch attacks, tells Strelka to break off with a hard right at max speed...)
[16:50] theonecag: Strelka doesn't object.
[16:50] Zanaikin: (... and turning Strelka towards the Dromond's side for additional cover)
[16:53] *** Your previous message has not been sent. Reason: Maximum length (232) exceeded. You can recall the last message typed with Ctrl-Up or Up, depending on settings.
[16:53] Squall2551337: Releasing more energy, Alexius hurls 5 balls of electric energy at the nearest Pinnacle.
[16:53] Squall2551337: (Overchanneled Energy Missle, Augmented to 11PP. 89% Chaotic Surge= Maximized. Each ball does 77 Electric damage, Ref save DC 27 for half) Targets are waterline sections of the hull.
[16:54] Squall2551337: followed by a move action to refocus (Concentration check: 34)
[16:55] theonecag: The very fabric of reality seems to be jaunted as Alexius' blast slams into the hill of the opposing vessel...
[16:55] theonecag: After taking moderate damage from the last attack, the hull sections of the ship simply explode causing the ship to take on a massive wave of water...
[16:56] theonecag: Causing the ship to effectively "buck", launching much of the crew into the sea.
[16:57] theonecag: ((Pause for description))
[17:00] theonecag: When the remaining ships from both formations reach 200ft, the helmsan of every vessel begin to make a hard turn to the right (or left, respectively) so as to have every ship matched with its partner.
[17:00] theonecag: The coordination is uncanny, but ship damage leaves several gaps along the line.
[17:00] theonecag: The Sea Wyvern finds itself matched with the fore half of a burning dromond, and the aft half of a pinnace.
[17:01] Laharl01: (17)
[17:01] judson256: (17)
[17:01] ForSovietRussia: (26)
[17:01] Squall2551337: (17)
[17:02] Zanaikin: (listen: 31)
[17:02] ForSovietRussia: (correction, that should be 23)
[17:02] theonecag: (19 or less) You hear only the havoc of battle.
[17:03] theonecag: (20-30) You hear heavy and ferocious grunting from the below deck of the dromond.
[17:05] theonecag: (30+) A distant, but distinct shrill pierces the battlefield. you're not sure what it is, but you know its coming from the direction of the greatships.
[17:05] theonecag: Once the line of opposing ships is formed, the various crewmen at the ready proceed to open fire with the various siege weapons.
[17:06] theonecag: Everything from ballista bolts to firebombs is launched between the two forces, and they draw closer.
[17:08] theonecag: The dire ballista itself takes fire at the enemy pinnacle firing two silverly blue bolts that turn to lightning bolts in mid-lfight. Raking the crew of the ships with deadly electricity.
[17:08] theonecag: Faerlan, through all of this doesn't move. He seems to be waiting for somethings
[17:13] judson256: Devlan, his spells still out of range, does nothing
[17:14] theonecag: Demetrius draws a brilliant rapier and steps own from the helm, ready to meet the challenges ahead.
[17:16] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser pulls his hat firmly onto his head with one hand, keeping the other on the wheel.
[17:20] Zanaikin: (Faina turns Strelka around on a course back at full speed towards the engagement line...spot 39 for any mages on the two ships engaged with wyvern)
[17:21] theonecag: Faina fails to see any of the black robed men, but two large winged creatures do catch her eye. They're not wyverns, but, rather, they look like large, distorted vultures.
[17:22] judson256: ((spot 15))
[17:22] theonecag: Delvan sees the chaos of war.
[17:25] Zanaikin: Faina flies towards the Sea Wyvern, flying overhead the approaching enemy pinnace at 180ft, and casts Resinous Tar on its forward weapon mount.
[17:26] theonecag: Another blast flies towards Faina, but this is too short.
[17:26] Zanaikin: (Swift concentration: Faina lets off a called lightning towards the caster of the blast)
[17:27] Zanaikin: (11electricity, DC18, targeting light starts just about the caster and smashes into the hull beneath him)
[17:30] theonecag: The blast catches him unprepared. Though still standing, and not very damaged, he looks quite shook up.
[17:35] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser shouts, "Dieter! Blast the pinnace!"
[17:38] Squall2551337: "Sure thing Tan." Off goes another Electric Energy Missle aimed at the side of the Pinnacle that's facing the Drummond, including the weapon mount on that side.
[17:40] Squall2551337: (Overchanneled 11PP Electric Energy Missle 81% Chaotic Surge: Maximized. 77 electric per target Ref save DC 27 for half)
[17:42] theonecag: Another great blast of electricity is launched at an enemy vessel. The resulting explosion renders the already tarred ballista useless, and deal severe damage to the hull sections near the waterline.
[17:42] theonecag: It's still afloat, but it won't last long under these conditions.
[17:44] Laharl01: Anton draws the Mental Blade and prepares to cut any incoming grappling lines.
[17:45] theonecag: At 100ft, another wave of siege machines fire upon each other. The Sea Wyvern, having mostly eradicated its opposing siege machines, largely skips the barage.
[17:47] theonecag: The aligned caravel behind the Wyvern is not so lucky, after finally patching the whole at the water level from the fire bomb, takes a direct hit from another one to the main mast.
[17:47] theonecag: The top half falls forward, taking out the forward sails, thusly causing a blanket of sail and fire to cover the crew.
[17:48] theonecag: Pained screams are heard as the sailors desperately tries to evade the burning sails.
[17:49] theonecag: Meawhile, the dire ballista fire two shocking bolts out again, which proceed to score direct hits on the waterline of the opposing pinnace.
[17:50] theonecag: The vessel, already damaged from psionic electricity, begins to slip beneath the waves.
[17:50] theonecag: The Dromond opposing you, damaged though is may be manages to fire a single flaming bolt from its aft ballista.
[17:51] theonecag: The bolt, while cutting a few security lines, is largely ineffective. As the meager fire damage fails to damage the rigging entirely.
[17:52] judson256: Devlan again does nothing, his spells still out of range
[17:52] judson256: ((spot: 20)
[17:52] Squall2551337: (Spot 16)
[17:52] Zanaikin: (spot: 44)
[17:53] ForSovietRussia: ((spot 16)
[17:53] Laharl01: (...8)
[17:55] theonecag: (15 or less) The chaos of battle distracts you.
[17:56] theonecag: (16-20) You see the other dromond that was behind the formation lining itself up, parallel to you.
[17:57] theonecag: (21-25) You again catch a glimpse of the vulture-esque creatures, who seem to be heading straight for you.
[17:57] Laharl01: (...7)
[17:57] judson256: ((listen: 24)
[17:57] Squall2551337: (16)
[17:57] ForSovietRussia: (19)
[17:57] Zanaikin: (listen: 31)
[17:58] theonecag: (<20) The chaos of blah, blah, blah...
[17:59] theonecag: (>20) You suddenly hear a resounding crashing sound, as though a very large object smashed into a wall or something...
[18:00] *** Laharl01 has left the chat.
[18:00] theonecag: Faina looks over in the direction of the sea ships and notices, strangely, that one of them has come to a sudden halt. The front of the ship looks like it hit a wall...
[18:01] ForSovietRussia: ok
[18:01] theonecag: ((BREAK))
[21:16] theonecag: ((RESUME))
[21:17] theonecag: Demetrius draws a dagger, and watches as the dromond draw's closer...
[21:24] Zanaikin: (either me or tries to fire mounted weapons at ship)
[21:26] Zanaikin: (Faina flies away from pinnace and into range of the Dromond currently on fire, keeping 180ft out and readying to Call lightning upon anyone who attacks...)
[21:29] theonecag: As you fly up, you hear the large shrill again, and notice that the two vulture like creatures are heading straight for you. You put them at less than 20 seconds away.
[21:30] judson256: ((spot 18))
[21:30] ForSovietRussia: (Spot: 8...)
[21:31] theonecag: Delvan can hear the shrill, but he can't quite pinpoint the location, as the smoke from the burning dromond continues to hinder his vision.
[21:31] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser shapes his sword in one hand and continues to keep the other on the wheel.
[21:31] judson256: ((Know[planes] check: 25))
[21:32] *** ForSovietRussia has left the chat.
[21:33] *** ForSovietRussia has joined the chat.
[21:33] theonecag: Delvan is about 90% sure that the creature is a demon known as a Vrock. He knows that this demon particularly enjoys melee combat, and is capable of emitting a a shriek so loud it leaves you physically paralyzed.
[21:34] judson256: "The Crimson Fleet appears to have summoned flying demons to aid the battle," Devlan tells those still on the ship
[21:34] judson256: "Be ready for anything"
[21:35] theonecag: Random Crewmember: Demons! How in the hells are we supposed to fight demons!?!?
[21:36] theonecag: Demetrius: Steady men. Look to your wits, not your fears.
[21:37] judson256: "The power of righteousness will send them back to the Abyss from whence they came."
[21:37] judson256: "Either the power of righteousness or a big fucking sword"
[21:38] theonecag: Alexius remembers that demons tend to be weakest against his favorite element...
[21:39] ForSovietRussia: "Someone ask for a sword?" Tannhauser says as he raises his blade into the air, increasing the light level of the glowing orb in his armor's chest.
[21:39] Squall2551337: "How about an big fucking ball of electricity?" Alexius says with a smirk
[21:39] judson256: "It'll do."
[21:43] Squall2551337: "Well, lets get ready for a big one then" Alexius says as his skin begins to Flare with power, shifting and warping the colors around him, making him harder to pinpoint.
[21:43] Squall2551337: (standard action to activate psychoactive skin,)
[21:45] Zanaikin: (Anton maintains his stance at the left side of the ship (dromond side), readying against any attempt to board)
[21:46] theonecag: Finally, after much anticipation, the two formations close. A final volley from the the remaining siege engines is issued.
[21:47] theonecag: The caravel behind you is struck again at the water level, and given the panic spreading throughout the brew, it probably won't make it out of this one.
[21:49] theonecag: The opposing dromond again fires desperately at your rigging, but this time a weapons malfunction causes the entire ballista to rip itself a part, throwing massive splinters in the eyes of the crew operating it.
[21:50] theonecag: From the stern, two blasts fly up at Faina...
[21:51] theonecag: The first missing by about 10 yards, the second, another direct hit.
[21:51] theonecag: (24 magic damage)
[21:52] theonecag: ((IGNORE LAST 2 POSTS)
[21:53] Zanaikin: (Faina calls lightning down upon the first one. 15 electricity dmg, DC 18)
[21:53] theonecag: The misses completely, the second smacks into the side of Strelka. (24 damage to Strelka).
[21:53] theonecag: The warlock doesn't look shaken by the damage at all.
[21:55] theonecag: Shortly after this brief exchange, the two lines of ships finally converge. A large crashing sound is heard as the two groups of ships slam into each other, side to side.
[21:56] theonecag: Crews on both sides immediately surge at one another, as a bloodbath ensues.
[21:56] theonecag: Yet, this is not the case for wyvern.
[21:57] theonecag: The damage to main mast had slowed the opposing dromond down enough that it and the Sea Wyvern were evenly lined up now.
[21:58] theonecag: As the two ships slammed into each other, a small force of pirates leaped over to fight her crew, but this wasn't what caught your attention.
[21:58] theonecag: As soon an the ships met, a particularly loud half-orc yelled "Pull!!!"
[21:59] theonecag: On cue, the two grating on the main deach of the dromond were pulled away, and two huge, hulking Minotaurs rose up, and made to join the battle.
[21:59] theonecag: Faerlan: Now! Fire!
[22:00] theonecag: BOOM! A direct hit, causing one of the minotaur's heads to simply disappear...
[22:02] theonecag: Meanwhile, the rear dromond continued to sail parallel to the Sea Wyvern.
[22:03] judson256: ((spot = 20))
[22:03] Squall2551337: (Spot=5)
[22:03] Zanaikin: (Faina spot: 46) (Anton spot: 14)
[22:04] ForSovietRussia: (8)
[22:05] theonecag: (<25) Yep, just chaos again...
[22:07] theonecag: (>25) You notice that two of the greatships are heading straight for walls at an uncanny pace.
[22:07] theonecag: Meanwhile a 3rd is moving at the same unreal speed towards the harbor. On its tail are two Dromonds who are firing on the remaing artillery on the walls.
[22:09] judson256: Devlan casts a Rapid Summon Monster IV to summon a Celestial Lion to his side
[22:09] judson256: with a deafening road, the lion pounces forward onto the minotaur
[22:09] judson256: roar*
[22:12] theonecag: The celestial lion leaps forward, only to be taken out by a furious swing from the minotaur's greataxe.
[22:12] theonecag: Headless, the creature began to dissipate.
[22:14] theonecag: Demetrius, undaunted by the minotaurs counter, turns into a whirling fury of bladed death. Bursts of electricity flash as he cuts down 3 pirates in a torrent of sharpened steel.
[22:17] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser releases the wheel and grabs his shield with that hand. Running towards the pirate on the steps, he swings his sword at the foe.
[22:18] theonecag: Faerlan jumps and grabs the wheel before things get too out of hand.
[22:18] theonecag: Faerlan: Damned fool!
[22:18] ForSovietRussia: "Did you want to be skewered by the pirate!"
[22:18] Squall2551337: "At's the spirit captain! Why you spoiling the fun Faerlan?"
[22:19] ForSovietRussia: (Attack (not charging): 32)
[22:19] theonecag: Faerlan: *grumble, grumble, kids, grumble*
[22:21] ForSovietRussia: (Damage: 13 and 16 electricity)
[22:22] theonecag: The pirate manages to charge right into your sword. Cries of pain ensue as the electricity surges through his form. You reflexively kick his burnt remains overboard when he finally expires.
[22:23] Zanaikin: (Faina tells Strelka to move away from the battle towards the rear, 100ft back, while casting CLW, sharing it with her mount [11pts])
[22:23] Squall2551337: "Nice enegy choice Tannhauser!"
[22:29] *** Your previous message has not been sent. Reason: Maximum length (232) exceeded. You can recall the last message typed with Ctrl-Up or Up, depending on settings.
[22:29] Squall2551337: "Lets try and sink another ship! Down with the Dromonds! Ha ha!" Alexius shouts as a 20' radius burst erupts on the side of the Dromond paralelling our course, captruing the weapon mount facing the Wyvern.
[22:33] Squall2551337: (Wild Surged Electric Energy Ball. 76% Enervation, 55% Chaotic Surge= Empowered. DC 23 Ref for half, 72 electric damage)
[22:33] theonecag: The fore catapult explodes.
[22:34] Zanaikin: (Anton slashes at the nearest pirate with his falcion: attack 32, crit confirm 32, crit damage: 24)
[22:35] theonecag: The pirate wheels around spraying his allies with blood, and drops to the ground.
[22:36] Zanaikin: (Anton attacks another nearby with a second slash: attack 26, damage: 22)
[22:36] theonecag: Another pirate is felled.
[22:38] theonecag: The minotaur, rage in its eyes (not the class ability), steps over onto the Sea Wyvern, crushing a pirate under its foot, and sweeping wildly at Captain Demetrius
[22:38] theonecag: who dodges the attack easily.
[22:41] theonecag: Two more blasts of abyssal fury are launched at the crew of the Sea Wyvern.
[22:42] theonecag: The first aimed at the psion, who's shifting visage causes the blast to miss, and the second catching something near the mast, but not the mast itself. (Delvan takes 18 damage)
[22:45] theonecag: The Vrocks continue their course towards Faina. Even from here, she can see the rage in their eyes.
[22:46] judson256: ((Spot: 10))
[22:46] Squall2551337: (Spot 20)
[22:46] ForSovietRussia: (Spot 18)
[22:49] Zanaikin: (spot: 38)
[22:49] Zanaikin: (and spot: 4)
[22:49] theonecag: (<10) You see... a battle!
[22:50] theonecag: (10-20) You notice that the main mast on the burning dromond has taken severe damage and is beginning to break at the deck.
[22:51] theonecag: (>20) You notice that the two warlocks on the stern of the ship are looking at the mast, and then looking at the main deck of the Wyvern, and seem rather happy about something...
[22:52] theonecag: The undamaged dromond alters its course, and begins to close with the burning dromond.
[22:54] judson256: Devlan casts again, and a second Celestial Lion bursts out of midair, already leaping towards the warlock that hit its master
[22:55] judson256: ((2 Claws: 26 and 29; Bite: 21; 2 Rakes: 30, 18))
[22:57] theonecag: One moment, you see a warlock with a smile quickly draining from his face. The next, he disappears to be replaced by torn clothes and body parts, while his friend looks on in horror.
[23:00] theonecag: Demetrius, after dodging his foe's attack, executes an elegant sidestep past a pirate and proceeds to unleash another whirlwind of sharpened steel.
[23:00] theonecag: Afterwards, the minotaurs steps back, recoiling from electricity burns, and a missing left arm...
[23:03] ForSovietRussia: "Faerlan, stay on the wheel!" Tannhauser shouts as he runs down the stairs to attack the pirate at the bottom of the stairs.
[23:03] theonecag: Faerlan: Aye sir!
[23:04] ForSovietRussia: (Attack roll: 35 (roll of 19, crit). Crit Confirm: 26)
[23:04] ForSovietRussia: (21 slashing, 18 electricity)
[23:05] theonecag: Another burnt corpse is kicked overboard...
[23:08] Zanaikin: (Faina turns Strelka about and strides forward to attack, while she casts a Splinterbolt spell and fires two razor shards at the Vrocks. Attacks: 19, 30, crit confirm 23)
[23:10] Zanaikin: (the Vrock takes 30 points of magical piercing damage as one shard grounded into him. Strelka then lounges forwards at him with one claw: attack 27, 6dmg)
[23:12] theonecag: The shard flies true and cuts into the fell creatures wing. Strelka manages a claw attack before the creature begins to loose altitude.
[23:13] theonecag: It flies directly through the Sea Wyverns Main sail, and into the sea.
[23:13] theonecag: ((CUT SCENE!!!))
[23:15] *** Laharl01 has joined the chat.
[23:15] theonecag: There is then a moment of pause, as the remaining vrock and Faina close upon each other. The rage in its eyes meeting her steely gaze...
[23:18] Zanaikin: (Faina quickly reorganizes her thoughts, her next chant came out at near instantaneous speed, and her hand blasts a ray towards the Vrock at point blank range)
[23:19] Zanaikin: (Rainbow Beam, 6=sonic dmg, 2AP burn for stunt +4/+4d6)
[23:20] Zanaikin: (attack: 18 touch, damage: 35 sonic)
[23:21] Zanaikin: (Strelka performs a quick turn in midair, spin about 180 degrees in a returning attack against the Vrock, and lashes out with his claw, attack: 28)
[23:21] Zanaikin: (damage: 6)
[23:22] Zanaikin: (damage: 21 instead)
[23:22] theonecag: Though to you it went by almost in slow motion, the rest of the world heard a quick blast of sonic energy, followed by an insane 180 degree flip by Strelka.
[23:23] theonecag: In the end, Faina and her mount were facing the opposite direction, and another vrock was loosing altitude.
[23:24] theonecag: This one, much to Tanhauser's dismay, flew through the aft sail before joining its brother in the sea.
[23:28] Squall2551337: Drawing energy from the cognizance crystal in his left glove, Alexius gestures at the top of the flaming Mast, shooting of a Sonic blast.
[23:30] Squall2551337: (Wild Surge Energy Push (Sonic), 23ranged touch, 7% (just missed) Enervation, 19% (normal) Chatoic Surge, 6 Sonic damage)
[23:30] theonecag: The gamble is a success, the mast follows over in the opposite direction of the Sea Wyvern.
[23:32] Squall2551337: "Ha ha, what now you damned warlocks?"
[23:32] theonecag: Warlock: *grumble, grumble, kids, grumble*
[23:39] *** judson256 has left the chat.
[23:41] Laharl01: Anton points the Mental Blade at the minotaur. "Now you die, foul beast." He then levels the falchion at it and sprints at it, slashing fiercely. (Leading the Attack)
[23:41] Laharl01: (natural 20, confirm roll 25)
[23:42] Laharl01: (28 damage)
[23:44] theonecag: You surge towards the minotaur, who feebly attempts to swing its greataxe at you but misses terribly. It seems almost relieved when your falchion makes a keen cut vertically through its skull.
[23:44] theonecag: It falls forward, lifeless.
[23:45] theonecag: A wave of panic spreads over the reaming pirates...
[23:45] theonecag: The remaining warlock mutters something, and disappears.
[23:46] Laharl01: (listen: 6)
[23:48] Zanaikin: (devlan: 14)
[23:49] Squall2551337: (7)
[23:49] ForSovietRussia: (17)
[23:50] theonecag: Tanhauser hears lots of splashing, followed by what sounds like something clawing into the hull of the ship, and its getting louder...
[23:50] Zanaikin: (spot: 30)
[23:51] *** ForSovietRussia has left the chat.
[23:51] *** ForSovietRussia has joined the chat.
[23:51] theonecag: Faina hears a large crashing sound coming from the direction of Sasserine, but the smoke from the dromond and other vessels obscures what caused it.
[23:52] theonecag: On a somewhat darker note, she does see the two vrocks climbing up the side of the ship...
[23:54] theonecag: The Dromond his by the electric blast is less almost alongside the burning dromond.
[23:57] Zanaikin: (the celestial lion looks around for a second before pouncing upon the helmsman of the opposing dromond. Attacks: claws: 22 & 17, bite: 14, rakes: 24 & 25)
[23:57] theonecag: The helmsman is torn to pieces.
[00:00] theonecag: Demetrius drops another 2 pirates.
[00:03] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser moves up to the pirate backing away from him and bashes him with the flat of his blade.
[00:03] ForSovietRussia: (Attack Roll: 33-4 (nonlethal) = 29
[00:03] theonecag: He collapses, but is still breathing.
[00:05] Squall2551337: "Good, let them surrender. Remember, I was once on their side, and found the truth."
[00:07] Zanaikin: (Faina surges Strelka forwards towards the wyvern's left side, shouting down "DEMONS CLIMBING PORT SIDE HULL!")
[00:08] Zanaikin: (she then calls down another bolt of lightning towards the closest Vrock, carefully aiming it not to damage the hull; 13 electricity, DC18)
[00:09] theonecag: The vrock shrills in pain, but continues climbing.
[00:10] Zanaikin: (spot: 41)
[00:10] theonecag: Nothing by smoke and haze...
[00:11] Squall2551337: (Alexius delays untill the Vrocks crest the rail)
[00:14] Laharl01: Anton dramatically flicks a few drops of blood off the Mental Blade, then shouts "You're next!" at the half-orc as he unleashes a furious slice at him (Vanguard Strike, Deep Impact, PA -4).
[00:14] Laharl01: (attack 29(threat, touch), confirm 30)
[00:16] Laharl01: (29 damage, all allies get a +4 to attack him (melee/ranged) until my next turn)
[00:18] theonecag: The half-orc reals from the damage, and, on cue, 4 members of the Sea Wyvern crew step forth, plunging cutlass, dagger, and rapier into his chest.
[00:18] theonecag: Blood spraying forth from his gut, the pirate falls over, dead.
[00:18] Laharl01: Anton shouts encouragingly, "Well done, men!"
[00:19] theonecag: They give him a rousing "HUZZAH!
[00:20] theonecag: Then, Faina looks on the deck, and to her horror, notices a black clad figure darting across the deck towards Alexius.
[00:21] Zanaikin: (con check: 4)
[00:23] theonecag: Faina, caught totally offguard watches the figure get within inches of Alexius, and, for a brief, stop.
[00:23] theonecag: To Alexius he whispers, "I am Oragi, and you are my 10th victim."
[00:24] Squall2551337: "Oh yeah, we'll see about that."
[00:25] theonecag: Then, in an instant, a longknife is heading towards his neck.
[00:27] Squall2551337: (Fort save 22)
[00:27] theonecag: You manage to move a bit, and blade cuts into you chest. It's then that you realize that his black blade is dripping with poison.
[00:28] theonecag: He slices your chest with his weapon, but you resist the poison (22 damage).
[00:29] Squall2551337: (Immediate action for Resilience, 4PP to prevent 20 damage)
[00:30] theonecag: He then vanishes without a trace.
[00:31] Squall2551337: "I'm not impressed, whoever you are."
[00:31] Zanaikin: (spot: 47)
[00:31] theonecag: Faina notices that he turned invisible and ran into the aft cabin.
[00:32] Zanaikin: Faina shouts down "HE WENT IN THE AFT CABIN!"
[00:32] theonecag: Shortly after, 3 blasts of eldritch power were launched into the fray...
[00:32] Zanaikin: Faina: *cough cough* ...
[00:34] theonecag: One barely misses Anton, the other two are direct hits on Alexius.
[00:35] theonecag: (16, and 24 magic damage)
[00:35] theonecag: Three sporadically placed warlocks materialize.
[00:35] theonecag: Shortly after, both of the vrocks climb over the side of the ship...
[00:36] theonecag: The first one proceeded to emit a piercing shreik.
[00:37] Laharl01: (Fort 22)
[00:39] Squall2551337: Fort: 14, AP boosted to 19)
[00:41] Zanaikin: (Fort: 16)
[00:42] theonecag: Anton and Demetrius remain recoil, but resist the shrieks powerful note. Everyone else is stunned with shock. (yep, you're all stunned).
[00:44] theonecag: The second vrock moves up, and does emits a similar shriek.
[00:45] Laharl01: (28)
[00:45] ForSovietRussia: (31)
[00:46] theonecag: Anton remains resilient, and Tanhauser just as sturdy, but Demetrius fails to resist it this time around.
[00:47] theonecag: After the shrieking finishes, those who can still act hear Faerlan through the chaos...
[00:47] theonecag: Faerlan: Sir! Permission to break away from the enemy ship!
[00:47] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser shouts back "Permission granted!"
[00:48] theonecag: With that, the Sea Wyvern breaks formation, and begins sailing away from the burning dromond.
[00:48] theonecag: Just as it does, the burning dromond is swarmed by a horde of the creatures you saw on Dagger Eye...
[00:50] Zanaikin: (Devlan tries to concentrate, but his head was too busy spinning and his eyes still seeing stars)
[00:50] Zanaikin: (the lions, see new enemies arise from nowhere, pounces upon the nearest foe)
[00:51] theonecag: The Lion manages to take one down, but is quickly swarmed...
[00:51] theonecag: Demetrius, is stunned...
[00:53] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser moves to the closest vrock and slashes at the foul vulture like creature.
[00:54] ForSovietRussia: (Attack roll: 30)
[00:55] ForSovietRussia: (Damage: 13 Slashing (magic, lawful) and 13 electricity)
[00:56] theonecag: The creature tries to swing at you, but misses. You move in, and strike it. Most of the weapon damage seems to be ignored, but the electricity still goes through.
[00:56] Zanaikin: (Faina does best to keep her concentration from being distracted by strange happenings of the other vessel)
[00:56] Zanaikin: (she calls down another lightning at the Vrock hit last rnd, targetting just high above to strike only his upper body to avoid damaging the ship)
[00:56] Zanaikin: (13 electricity, DC18)
[00:57] theonecag: The Vrock is shaken again by the strike, and shrills in pain.
[01:01] *** ForSovietRussia has left the chat.
[01:01] Laharl01: Anton shifts over next to the creature that's being pounded on and, hoping to give Tannhauser some relief, swipes at it with the Mental Blade.
[01:01] Laharl01: (attack 24)
[01:02] Laharl01: (13 physical damage, 2 divine damage, Tannhauser heals 18 HP)
[01:02] Laharl01: (That was a Revitalizing strike, I just forgot to declare it since I'm tired)
[01:03] theonecag: A black arrow shoots our from the aft cabin at Alexius.
[01:04] theonecag: The vrock takes little damage from the strike.
[01:05] theonecag: The arrow strikes dead on. (18 damage)
[01:06] theonecag: In the haov of the battle, a fireball explodes in the air above water. There are two splashes in the water, but not visable objects hit the sea.
[01:07] theonecag: Shortly thereafter, a halfling mage materializes as he flies by...
[01:08] theonecag: Faina Watches two burnt warlocks fall into the water.
[01:09] theonecag: A single eldritch blast flies by Faina, but misses.
[01:09] theonecag: A warlock materializes 100ft from her.
[01:10] theonecag: As the first vrock begins to act, the stunning effect ends.
[01:10] theonecag: It lashes out at Alexius...
[01:12] theonecag: It unleashes an assault of natural attacks. In end, both claws, a bite, and a talon fin their targets...
[01:14] theonecag: (9, 9, 9, and 8 damage)
[01:14] Squall2551337: (immediate action to ignore the 8 for 2PP)
[01:15] theonecag: ((RETROACTIVE CUTSCENE))
[01:15] Zanaikin: (Devlon uses snaps his fingers towards Alexius, he heals 8dmg)
[01:16] theonecag: The stun effects ends just as Alexius can feel the creature approaching him from behind...
[01:18] Squall2551337: "Not this time you foul beasts." Alexius mutters as he turns, releasing a font of powerful electric energy at both of the Vrocks
[01:20] Squall2551337: (Spot 19)
[01:21] Squall2551337: (change targets: the vrock attacking me and the ninja)
[01:24] Squall2551337: (2AP stunt Wild Surge Energy Missle, DC 30 Ref for half, Enervation 94% Chaotic Surge 30%: Half damage)
[01:25] Squall2551337: (23 damage)
[01:26] Squall2551337: (2 AP to reroll Chaotic surge: 31% still half damage)
[01:28] theonecag: The sudden burst catches both the vrock and ninja off-guard. The vrock, already weakened, falls dead to the ground. While Oragi recoils from wracking pain. His screams giving away his location...
[01:28] Squall2551337: "Yeah, bet that hurt. Still think i"m the victim Oragi?"
[01:30] Laharl01: Anton pulls back the Mental Blade and slams it down on the vrock with a roar. (Mountain Hammer, 1AP stunt).
[01:31] Laharl01: (24 attack roll)
[01:31] Laharl01: (20 damage)
[01:33] theonecag: The force of the blow drives the vrocks beak into the deck, an it appears to be stuck...
[01:34] theonecag: Oragi runs frantically back into the cabin.
[01:35] theonecag: Another eldritch blast slams into Faina. (17 damage)
[01:35] theonecag: ((IGNORE LAST))
[01:35] theonecag: The warlock diappears.
[01:37] theonecag: The remaining vrock spends its turn pulling its head out of the deck.
[01:38] theonecag: Your halfling lobs a fiery orb at the remaining warlock. It summarily bursts into flame, and drops from the sky,.
[01:42] theonecag: Demetrius tumbles next to the vrock, and makes a clean stab at the creatures upper chest.
[01:42] theonecag: With a burst of electricity, the creatures falls dead.
[01:43] theonecag: ((BREAK))

Session Start (Squall2551337:ingamechat): Sat Jun 14 15:01:25 2008
[15:01] *** Zanaikin has joined the chat.
[15:01] theonecag: ((Begin Transmission))
[15:02] theonecag: Demetrius takes the responses in for a moment, the effects of battle fatigue obviously slowing his mind.
[15:04] theonecag: Demetrious: Very well, we'll spit the fleet. The Sea Wyvern and the Grand Duke caravels will move to intercept the enemy flagship, and the remainder of the fleet will sale to reenforce the garrison at Sasserine.
[15:05] theonecag: On cue, one of the sailors in the top rigging drew two flags and began to communicate the message to the nearby ships.
[15:05] theonecag: The Sea Wyvern and Grand Duke continued on their path due South, while the rest of the fleet began to turn around.
[15:06] theonecag: As the two caravels passed the burning, smoking chain of Crimson Fleet ships, there was a resounding blast.
[15:08] theonecag: One of the ships that the 'Wyvern was engaged with exploded into an conflagration of red and green flame, hurling debris all around.
[15:08] Squall2551337: "Wasn't me!"
[15:08] Squall2551337: "I don't do green."
[15:11] theonecag: Faina is certain that the green flame resulted from some alchemical mixture of acid and fire.
[15:12] Zanaikin: "fire from the battle damage, but where did the acid in that explosion come from? I'm sure the green is from that."
[15:13] theonecag: Faerlan: I'm just glad we pulled away from it, my alchemy can only protect us from so much.
[15:14] Laharl01: "Perhaps it's some sort of exotic catapult ammo?"
[15:15] theonecag: Faerlan: Possible. Who nows what these infernal bastards have up their sleeves?
[15:15] Zanaikin: "most likely, although that sounds quite dangerous to keep around."
[15:15] Squall2551337: "Well, not much we can do about it now. But where there's some, they might have more. Keep your eyes open."
[15:15] Squall2551337: "Guess I'll just have to sink them before they can use it."
[15:15] Squall2551337: Alexius says with a smirk
[15:16] theonecag: Faerlan: Aye, best kee... LOOK OUT!!!
[15:16] theonecag: Faerlan screams as too shots fly over the 'Wyvern's deck, the sound of bombard's fire echoing in the distance.
[15:16] Laharl01: "I'd ask you to leave something for the rest of us to deal with, but if I have to do something, that means either we're boarding or being boarded."
[15:17] theonecag: The enemy flagship wasn't going to wait for them to close, and based on the sailing pattern of a nearby ship, it wasn't going to be alone.
[15:17] Squall2551337: "Haha, you'll have your fun when we get back to the Docks."
[15:19] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser walks back to the helm. "Okay Faerlan, I'll take the wheel again"
[15:20] theonecag: (?10) The enemy flagship is running parallel and closing. Though they're still out of range for their guns to be useful, in theory. But there seems to be another ship on the horizon.
[15:20] theonecag: (11-20) As above, and that other ship is definitely heading in this direction.
[15:21] theonecag: Faerlan: Aye sir.
[15:22] theonecag: (Commence Descriptive Fluff)
[15:24] Zanaikin: "Looks like there's another one coming to aid their flagship. Sloop type vessel, single ballista armament."
[15:24] Zanaikin: "if we close with their flag fast enough we should have a minute or two before they arrive."
[15:26] theonecag: And so the 3 ships began to close...
[15:27] theonecag: The enemies bombards fired a few times more, but it became obvious they were too far out of range.
[15:28] theonecag: This fact did not, however, worry the crews of either ship any less when the enemies shots exploded on the water's surface, leaving burning green acid for a few seconds before dissipating.
[15:29] theonecag: Several minutes followed, with the 3 ships maneuvering and counter maneuvering to the get the best angle and the advantage of the wind.
[15:33] theonecag: The end result was the 'Wyvern and 'Duke possessing the advantage, and leaving the flagship in a dead water zone with little wind.
[15:33] theonecag: An advantage that allowed the Sea Wyver to close on the enemies aft...
[15:34] theonecag: (Distance 750ft)
[15:34] Squall2551337: "Alright, time to go to work. Here's some wind for ya!"
[15:37] Squall2551337: Alexius spends activates his Skin of Chaos, and then, surging with power, His eyes glow with rage as he lets out a great yell, which resounds through the enemy ship, like many deep pitched voices screaming
[15:40] Squall2551337: (Wild Surge +2 Energy Ball, Enervation 86, CS 87 (Maximized) 55 Damage, REF DC 21for 1/2
[15:40] Squall2551337: (Sonic damage)
[15:42] Squall2551337: Target: Flag ship, 20ft. raduis, including Front weapon Mount, and major portions of the hul
[15:42] Squall2551337: *hull
[15:43] Squall2551337: *Nearest Weapon Mount
[15:44] theonecag: The aft ballista, as well as the deck it was on, explodes in the sonic burst. Causing it, and the pirates nearby to fall out of sight.
[15:45] theonecag: Faerlan: I'd have gone for the rudder, but I guess that works too.
[15:45] Squall2551337: "Eh, now we've got a weak spot. I'll hit the rudder next if ya want."
[15:49] theonecag: As the blast subsided, the enemy flagship managed to reroute itself out of the dead current zone.
[15:49] theonecag: The ships began to close, running parallel...
[15:49] theonecag: (700ft distance)
[15:51] Squall2551337: "Alright, and here goes your rudder now." Alexius says, as the ear piercing scream is heard again, amplified within the minds of everyone on the enemy ship through psionic power. (Sonic Energy Ball targeted near enemy rudder)
[15:53] Squall2551337: (Enervation 98 ok, CS 55 empowered, 30 damage, Ref DC 21 for 1/2)
[15:53] theonecag: Faina can see a bit of deck and some of the crew. She can make out what looks like a few more warlocks, some pirates, and a humanoid figure with wings.
[15:54] Laharl01: "Would you mind turning the volume down a little, Alexius? Some of us are trying to meditate here."
[15:55] theonecag: The sonic blast soars toward its target, but is blocked and negated by an invisible force mere feet from the ship...
[15:55] Squall2551337: "How else am I going to strike the fear of Chaos into these bastards? Give them the smell of honey?"
[15:55] Laharl01: "Well, you could always just let them look at you."
[15:57] theonecag: ((Ignore last))
[15:58] Zanaikin: "more warlocks, more pirates, both unsurprising, but there seems to be a person with... wings? over there onboard."
[15:58] theonecag: Another sonic eruption shakes the flagship, utterly destroying the rudder and causing moderate damage at the waterline.
[16:01] theonecag: (No listen or spot needed) An ear splitting roar is heard from the north, as a riderless wyvern tears through sky towards Faina.
[16:02] theonecag: On cue, the warlocks and the winged figure take to the skys...
[16:02] theonecag: Faerlan: Well, this just keeps getting better.
[16:03] Squall2551337: "Alright, Their ships disabled. You got that from here Tannhouser?" Alexius asks, looking to the sky.
[16:04] Zanaikin: (Faina and Strelka starts lifting off from the Sea Wyvern)
[16:04] theonecag: Tess (the halfing sorcerer): Er, Faina, got any ideas?
[16:04] Zanaikin: (rise to 50ft altitude, directly over ship)
[16:05] Zanaikin: Faina: nay, I suggest we stay on the defensive, maybe get some support from those below us.
[16:06] Zanaikin: "I'm definitely too tired to believe we can tackle on all of them by just ourselves."
[16:06] Zanaikin: "I think our primary goal should be to make sure they don't fly circles around our ship."
[16:08] theonecag: Tess: Right.
[16:08] theonecag: You the halfing pull out a scroll.
[16:09] theonecag: Demetrius: Continue to close with the enemy vessel. Alexis, see if you can reduce their speed some more!
[16:11] theonecag: The four warlocks cloak themselves.
[16:11] theonecag: (600ft distance)
[16:12] Squall2551337: "Get me closer. I'll take out the sails when we're within 100 ft.
[16:13] ForSovietRussia: "You got it," Tannhauser says as he continues to drive the Wyvern closer to the enemy flagship.
[16:13] theonecag: At this point, there is some confusion amongst the crew in the rigging, as there appeares to be some change concerning the sloop to the south.
[16:14] Squall2551337: "Aug shit, I forgot about that sloop. Better save some death for them too."
[16:15] theonecag: Much to Faina's astonishment, the sloop to the South appears to have "transformed" into caravel.
[16:17] Zanaikin: Faina gets Strelka to lower to just over the Sea Wyvern before shouting down towards the ship...
[16:18] Squall2551337: "Tan, I'm gonna save up to take care of that sloop. you think we can sink the Flag with our Ballista?"
[16:18] Zanaikin: "the Sloop's a fake! Caravel class heading straight at us. One heavy bombard plus one light bombard armament. E.T.A 3 minutes!"
[16:19] ForSovietRussia: "Faerlan? Think that bombard of your's has the firepower to take out the Flagship?"
[16:19] Squall2551337: "Farina, where's the heavy bombard on their ship? I'll try and take care of it for you."
[16:19] theonecag: Faerlan: With a well aimed shot, anyhing is possible.
[16:20] Zanaikin: "Heavy bombard on center deck"
[16:20] theonecag: He responded with a grin, and he moved over to the bombard.
[16:20] ForSovietRussia: "Alexius, think you can blast a few holes in the flagship too?"
[16:20] theonecag: Without orders, the Grand Duke moves to intercept the incoming ship...
[16:21] Squall2551337: "I could, but I'd rather Disable the new Caravel. There's only so much chaos in me."
[16:23] theonecag: The round ends with the wyvern continuing its screaming fly towards Faina. Now closer than it was before, she notices that this wyvern appears to be bigger than the ones she fought earlier.
[16:24] Laharl01: Anton draws the Mental Blade and prepares to fight.
[16:25] theonecag: Demetrius also withdraws his rapier and dagger.
[16:25] Zanaikin: Faina lifts back up to 50ft altitude
[16:31] theonecag: The Sea Wyvern begins to turn around as the flaghip continues its course.
[16:31] theonecag: The warlocks and the winged figure chase after the Wyvern.
[16:32] theonecag: One of the warlocks yells something in infernal.
[16:32] theonecag: *Abyssal.
[16:33] theonecag: Tess: Uh, Faina, I'm pretty certain one of those warlocks just yelled something about a rudder.
[16:34] Zanaikin: "about their lack of one, most likely."
[16:35] theonecag: Th e ships continue there respective courses: the flagship moves south, the Grand Duke moves for the newcomer, and Wyvern is still turning around...
[16:36] theonecag: Demetrius: Tanhauser! What the bloody hell are you doing!?!
[16:36] theonecag: The rest of the crew looks around, equally confused.
[16:36] ForSovietRussia: "Closing on their ship! They can't shoot at us if we are back here!"
[16:37] theonecag: Faerlan: Oh, you damned fool! Well have lost them by the time we're turned around!
[16:38] theonecag: The warlocks are within 250ft feet of the Wyvern...
[16:40] theonecag: As the warlocks close, Faina notices that one of them is dressed apart from the others. This one definitely looks like a command figure.
[16:40] theonecag: The winged figure begins to chase after warlocks...
[16:41] Zanaikin: Faina says to Tess: "forward I say, they're attempt to engage us at their maximum range of fire"
[16:41] theonecag: Tess: Yes milady, she says, dropping down and preparing to meet them
[16:42] Zanaikin: Faina surges Strelka forward by 100ft, concentrate Call Lightning on the nearest one.
[16:43] Zanaikin: (13 elec dmg, DC18)
[16:43] theonecag: The spell vanishes in a puff smoke before reaching its target...
[16:44] theonecag: ((Edit: Ignore last))
[16:45] theonecag: A noticeable, albeit small, bolt of electricity hits something between the two ships.
[16:46] theonecag: Seemingly on cue, Faerlan yells "FIRE!". the bombard's shot races through the airs and slams headlong into, something...
[16:48] theonecag: Faina and Tess see a warlock explode in a shower of fire and gore, while everyone else see just a explosion, followed by several invisible objects splashing in the waters below.
[16:48] Zanaikin: Faina: "well, that worked even better than I thought. Might owe a thanks to the gun crew".
[16:49] theonecag: Faerlan: Faina! What did we hit?!
[16:50] Zanaikin: Faina yells back "Warlock! nice shot too!"
[16:52] theonecag: The ships continued their patterns, and the wyvern closed within 200ft...
[16:54] theonecag: Faina confirms that this wyvern is much larger than others, she notices this one sports patches of shiny black scales near the head, wings, and tail...
[16:55] theonecag: Faina is dead certain this creature has Black Dragon blood.
[16:56] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser continues to steer the ship closer to the enemy flagship from behind.
[16:57] ForSovietRussia: EDIT: Tannhauser continues to steer the ship so that he can close on the flagship from behind
[16:58] theonecag: The Wyver continues its turn, now about 3/4 complete, with the distance between the two ships increasing...
[17:05] Squall2551337: "Ah well, guess the Grand Duke is going to have to deal without Artillery support." And with that, an Electrical storm erupted among the Rigging and sails of the Flagship
[17:07] Squall2551337: WS Energy Ball (8PP+1), E: 77 Ok, CS: 30 Half, 43/2 = 22damage, Ref save DC 22 for half
[17:08] theonecag: Sparks of electricity rase through the rigging, but you can't make out the extend of the damage from your location.
[17:09] theonecag: The winged figure draws closer, drinking potion, and vanishing from the sight of most. Meanwhile, several pirates seemingly lift off from the flagship, and begin flying towards the 'Wyvern.
[17:09] Squall2551337: "Farina, Drag him lower, and I'll blast that Wyrven!" Alexius shouts
[17:11] theonecag: Faina watches as the lead warlock moves his hands in an all to familiar pattern, the result of which is a tiny red bead with speads towards the aft deck of the wyvern...
[17:11] theonecag: Suddenly a fiery blast erupts near the helm, and, regrettably, the bombard on the wyvern...
[17:12] theonecag: Unfortunately, the powder monkey had just returned with with a new shot and fresh gunpowder...
[17:14] theonecag: (29 fire from the fireball, 17 from the gunpowder explosion)
[17:17] theonecag: The ensuing blast envelops the deck in a gunpower fueled flame, the deck, for all of its treatments could simply not take the combination of powder and flame.
[17:18] theonecag: The bombard, prepped for another shot, discharge prematurely, trowing bits of shrapnel into Faerlan and the gun mate's face and eyes, while the powder monkey simply burst into flames...
[17:19] theonecag: His heart wrenching screams following him, as he, Faerlan, the gun mate, and the bombard fell into the captains study, as some of the aft deck gave way...
[17:21] theonecag: Tanhauser reacted quick enough to not fall in with them.
[17:27] Zanaikin: "that bastard, hit straight for him" said Faina as she drove Strelka into a drive, heading straight for the warlock.
[17:28] Zanaikin: Strelka's charge: attack: 26, dmg: 8
[17:29] Zanaikin: Faina calls down another lightning bolt on him in the meantime (swift concentration trick) for 10dmg [DC18].
[17:29] Zanaikin: meanwhile readies another lightning call on the warlock if he tries to cast.
[17:29] theonecag: The warlock obviously didn't expect a direct charge, and was caught offguard by her assault...
[17:30] theonecag: The lightning bolt didn't seem to effect him.
[17:30] Zanaikin: (scratch the readying in that case)
[17:32] Zanaikin: (ready against one of the nearby warlocks instead)
[17:34] theonecag: the winged figure bears closer, and, despite its demonic features, Faina recognizes it from somewhere...
[17:34] theonecag: she thinks she's seen thing person on a "wanted" poster.
[17:34] theonecag: Something high profile...
[17:35] theonecag: Tess lookes though she's readying for something, her site locked on the wyvern...
[17:35] theonecag: *half-dragon wyvern
[17:36] theonecag: Demetrius: Of course, we kill their rudder, so they come to us!
[17:36] theonecag: He yells, motionaing to the could of flying pirates.
[17:40] theonecag: The half-blood wyvern lets out a terrible roar, and fly's straight for Faina.
[17:41] theonecag: Only to smash into an invisible force field about 30ft away from her...
[17:42] theonecag: dream on
[17:42] theonecag: ((Edit: Ignore)
[17:43] theonecag: The remaining warlocks each let loose a shot at the 'Wyvern's rudder...
[17:43] Zanaikin: Call lightning on one, 10dmg [DC18]
[17:44] theonecag: A bolt of lighting hits one of them, but to little effect.
[17:45] theonecag: Both shots soar towards the rudder, and both collide, sending splinters flying in all directions. The rudder is still attached, above the waterline...
[17:45] theonecag: The group of pirates moves closer towards the 'Wyvern.
[17:48] theonecag: The Sea Wyvern had almost completed its turn when she lost her rudder. Leaving her facing east, and the flagship continued south...
[17:52] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser lets go of the wheel, there being no point in holding onto it with no rudder to speak of.
[17:52] ForSovietRussia: Turning around, he moves to the remnants of the cannon covering Faerlan and tries to lift them off of him.
[17:54] Zanaikin: Devlan begins casting Summon Monster III for a small water elemental
[17:55] theonecag: You're able to lift the cannon off of the Faerlan, and are able to resist the smell of burning flesh from the powder monkey, who continues to burn and scream and flail about. Tanhauser is almost caught in shock by the sight...
[17:56] theonecag: Faerlan: Put... him... out!!
[17:56] theonecag: The gun mate is motionless, and judging from the cannon fragment in his scull, is probably dead.
[18:00] Squall2551337: "RRRAAAAHHHHH!!!! Time for a big finish!" Alexius roars as he flares with power again, his form becoming a shifting array of colors as he taps into the power of Chaos (activate Skin power)
[18:02] Squall2551337: Alexius also moves for a clear vision of Farina's battle.
[18:02] theonecag: The Warlock commander flies back 5ft, and fires an eldritch blast at Faina.
[18:06] theonecag: The eldritch blast smacks into Faina, who is surprised by the fact that it feels cold instead of fiery...
[18:07] theonecag: (18 cold damage, roll fortitude)
[18:07] Zanaikin: (fort: 20)
[18:08] theonecag: As the cold tears into, black magic surges, and she goes blind.
[18:09] theonecag: The warlock says something in abyssal, and the other two begin to laugh.
[18:15] Zanaikin: Faina curses to herself, particularly annoyed at the moment, and tells Strelka "withdraw at full, keep as far from any hostile as possible, at max 400ft out."
[18:15] theonecag: Warlock Commander: Coward!!!
[18:15] Zanaikin: (full run at 400ft speed, hightailing out of there)
[18:17] theonecag: Demetrius: Get ready, those pirates are moving in...
[18:17] Squall2551337: "Haha, let em come." Alexius says with a smile
[18:18] Laharl01: "Indeed, let them come."
[18:18] theonecag: A line of fire eminating from Tess' location strikes something over the ocean, followed by a splash.
[18:20] theonecag: *A line of acid...
[18:22] Zanaikin: Devlon finishes summoning as the small water elemental appears, whom begins quenching out shipboard fires, beginning w. the powder monkey.
[18:23] Zanaikin: he also helps accelerate the process by casting a create water spell to dump another 16 gallons of fresh water on the nearby fires.
[18:24] Zanaikin: (ignore ** 2)
[18:25] Zanaikin: Devlon simply orders the small water elemental to head to the back, go through the hole in the aft deck, and quench any fires it finds
[18:26] theonecag: The powder monkey is no longer on fire, but he's still screaming...
[18:27] Zanaikin: Devlon moves over by 30ft towards the hole and looks down...
[18:28] Zanaikin: he casts a Close Wounds on the powder monkey (7hp)
[18:29] theonecag: His bleeding stops, and his burns are less severe.
[18:32] theonecag: Shortly after that another terrible roar was heard again, as the head ofa lightly slant jawed half-dragon wyvern crashed through the side windows in the captain's study, and proceeded exhale a column of acid on those in the room...
[18:33] theonecag: Devlon watches in horror as the stream of acid blocks out his view...
[18:34] theonecag: The acid washes over those below, the gun mate and the powder monkey simply disappear, his pained screams finally ending
[18:35] theonecag: Tanhauser manages to miss most of it, and Faerlan manages to kick himself out of the way entirely.
[18:36] theonecag: (35 full, dc 19 for half)
[18:38] theonecag: Two edritch shots flew out from where the acidic line had connected, both heading for Tess.
[18:38] theonecag: The first missed entirely, but the second a direct hit.
[18:39] theonecag: She manages to keep herself steady though.
[18:39] theonecag: The pirates will reach the ship at the end of next round.
[18:42] theonecag: One of the crewmen in the top rigging shouts, "Rocks! Dead ahead!"
[18:44] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser shouts "Drop the starboard anchor! We're gonna swing her around!"
[18:46] theonecag: The anchor is let loose, and begins its plunge towards the bottom of the sea.
[18:51] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser's longsword appears out of thin air as he lets out a shout of rage.
[18:51] ForSovietRussia: His eyes and body start to glow red with the fires of his rage as he swings his sword at the wyvern's neck.
[18:51] ForSovietRussia: "PERMISSION TO BOARD DENIED!!"
[18:52] ForSovietRussia: (level 2 stunt, activating Incarnum Radiance)
[18:54] ForSovietRussia: (30 magic slashing, 12 electricity, 12 stunt damage)
[18:56] theonecag: Tanhauser brings his blade down, hard on the creature, as the sword makes a clean cut, severing its head from its body. A tremendous splash is heard thereafter.
[18:57] Squall2551337: "Alright raiding party, time to die. BOLT 2 MUTHUFUCKERS!" Alexius explaimed, causing a storm of electricity to errupt amidst them.
[18:59] Squall2551337: WS+2 Electric energy ball. E:38 ok, CS:19 normal, 53 Electric damage, Ref DC 23 for half.
[19:02] theonecag: A magnificent blast of electricity erupts from within the close groups of pirates. Even the more evasive of the bunch found the amount of energy too much, as over half of the group fell, charred and scorched, into the water below.
[19:03] theonecag: The moment of victory was cut short, however, as all attention was turned to Tess' position, as she let out a bloodcurdling scream.
[19:04] theonecag: As she cried out, first a sickle, then an arm, then a body, then two demonic wings, and finally a wild manic grin emerged from the cloak of an invisibility spell.
[19:05] theonecag: There, flying above the ship, gripping Tess' dead body was Vanthus, laughing madly, before screaming " OH ANTON, I'M BACK!!!!!"
[19:06] Laharl01: Anton screams in response. "VANTHUS! Get down here and fight me like a man so I can kill you!"
[19:06] Squall2551337: "Friend of yours?"
[19:06] theonecag: Demetrius: Vanthus, dear gods, what's happened to him? He didn't have wings last time, did he? Oh Gods! Pirates inbound, get ready!
[19:07] Squall2551337: "Well, I may sit that fight out. He's all yours."
[19:07] Laharl01: Never taking his eyes from Vanthus, Anton responds to Alexius. "Remember when I told you about Lavinia's creepy brother? This is him."
[19:11] Zanaikin: Faina regains her bearings after the blind wears off "well, that was a lot faster than expected."
[19:12] Zanaikin: "straight down to the Wyvern girl, should see what just happened" she said, as Strelka goes into a full dive to directly 100ft over the ship
[19:15] Zanaikin: as the hostile figure pulls into range, she concentrates to call down another lightning upon them ( 17dmg, DC18 )
[19:15] theonecag: He dodges the bolt entirely.
[19:16] Zanaikin: Faina then pulls three pebbles out and mutters a quick chant to enchant them (casting Giant's Wrath - swift action)
[19:18] Zanaikin: Devlon casts a rapid Summon Monster IV, bringing a fiendish giant wasp into existence 30ft away from the Vanthus.
[19:19] theonecag: Vanthus ignores it, as he continues laugh, and smile psychotically and Anton.
[19:19] Zanaikin: "take him!" he called out to it in Inferno, as the wasp charged straight towards its foe.
[19:19] Zanaikin: (attack: 27)
[19:20] theonecag: Vanthus parry's off the attack.
[19:22] Laharl01: Anton meditates for a second, then grows to twice his height. His voice rumbles through the bass registers in a primal scream of challenge to Vanthus.
[19:22] Laharl01: The Mental Blade in hand, he prepares to assault anything that comes within his reach.
[19:23] theonecag: The manic smile on Vanthus' face fades to a look of surpise.
[19:27] theonecag: Two eldritch shots smack into Devlon.
[19:28] theonecag: (hit 1: 22, hit 2: 22)
[19:29] theonecag: The enemy pirates, having suffered hell in order to get to the 'Wyvern, finally touch down and engage her crew.
[19:29] theonecag: Then, suddenly!
[19:29] theonecag: ((BREAK))
[19:33] *** Zanaikin has left the chat.
[20:22] *** Zanaikin has joined the chat.
[20:23] theonecag: ((RESUME))
[20:24] theonecag: The anchor that Tanhauser had ordered loose finally touched down on the ground, and dug in...
[20:25] theonecag: The ship's course was suddenly and violently altered, and much of the crew and the pirate who just landed were suddenly throw off the ship, as its radical adjustment of course began...
[20:28] theonecag: Only Anton, Demetrius, and a handful of others managed to grab onto something fast enough, and everyone else was catapulted off of the ship and into the water...
[20:29] theonecag: None of the enemy pirates managed to hold on.
[20:39] theonecag: Tanhauser spends the round swimming to the anchor.
[20:40] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser swears loudly as he flies out of the window and hits the water.
[20:40] ForSovietRussia: He quckly dives under the water, the crystal attached to the back of his armor glowing blue as he swims underneath the boat to the anchor rope.
[20:40] ForSovietRussia: Slicing the anchor rope below the water he holds onto the part still attached to the ship.
[20:41] ForSovietRussia: (attack roll: 24)
[20:41] ForSovietRussia: (17 damage, no electricity)
[20:41] theonecag: The rope holds.
[20:42] theonecag: Demetrius runs over to the side of ship and yells, "TANHAUSER!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!?!"
[20:42] ForSovietRussia: "CUT THE ANCHOR ROPE!"
[20:43] theonecag: "THAT TURN THROUGH THE CREW OVERBOARD!!!"
[20:43] ForSovietRussia: "JUST CUT THE ANCHOR ROPE!"
[20:43] theonecag: "NO! YOU GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!! NOW!! THAT'S AN ORDER!!"
[20:44] ForSovietRussia: "WOULD YOU RATHER BE ON THE ROCKS?!!"
[20:44] theonecag: There was no answer.
[20:46] theonecag: At this point, Faerlan stumbles out of the captain's study, a cure wand in his hand. "Who's not hurt?"
[20:46] theonecag: "Wait, where's the crew?"
[20:46] theonecag: Demetrius points to the water.
[20:46] ForSovietRussia: "Faerlan, get this anchor rope cut!"
[20:46] theonecag: Faerlan: Son of a...
[20:47] Squall2551337: "Damnit, now I'm wet, and wasting an action. Should have latched onto something." And with that, Alexius Dimension Doors back onto the ship, and clutches to the railing with one hand.
[20:47] theonecag: Demetrius: I GAVE YOU AN ORDER, TANHAUSER!
[20:47] theonecag: "FORGET THE FUCKING FLGASHIP!"
[20:53] Zanaikin: Faina switches her staff to her left hand, takes one of the enchanted pebbles and tosses it straight at one of the warlocks
[20:53] Zanaikin: the pebble expands in size in midflight, turning into a large boulder...
[20:53] theonecag: The look on the warlock's face adjusts accordingly.
[20:54] Zanaikin: attack roll : 37
[20:54] Zanaikin: (damage roll : 20)
[20:54] theonecag: The warlock, crushed under the weight of the boulder is sent hurling into the water, and begins to sink.
[20:55] Zanaikin: "laugh now, you abyssal imbeciles!" Faina yells after the crushed warlock in anger.
[20:56] theonecag: Vanthus yells down to Anton, "Drop your sword, and fight me like man!" Though his words are poison, they seemed strangely convincing.
[20:57] theonecag: Vanthus also positions himself over the hole in the Sterncastle.
[20:58] theonecag: Your iron will deflects his attempts to trick your mind.
[20:59] Laharl01: "Did you really think I was that big of a fool, Vanthus?" Anton's voice just drips with contempt.
[20:59] theonecag: Demetrius turns to face the enemy pirates, who are beginning to rise from the water. "Take him down, we'll cover you." he says to Anton.
[21:00] Laharl01: "It'll be my pleasure."
[21:01] theonecag: Faerlan whip's out a scroll, and, drawing on all of his skills as an artificer manages to cast the spell. The visage of a powerful warrior overcomes him, as a warhammer appears in his hand.
[21:02] theonecag: A few of the crew manage to crawl on board and immediately whip around, drawing their weapons.
[21:03] Zanaikin: Devlon attempts to swim towards the ship to grab a hold of ... anything on the side (swim 12)
[21:04] theonecag: Devlon makes it a but less than halfway back to the ship
[21:06] Laharl01: Anton runs down two quick chains of meditation, bulking up his body even more. He then levels the Mental Blade at Vanthus, rumbling "Now you die."
[21:07] theonecag: ((CUT SCENE))
[21:09] theonecag: Time seems to slow as Anton and Vanthus, mortal nemeses proceed to stare each other down, their collective rage for one another ever so obvious.
[21:10] theonecag: Their eyes locking, as they begin to surge towards each other...
[21:12] theonecag: Anton starts to go into that unique pace that can only truly be called a charge, doing so in an eerie silence that is shattered by the SWOOOSH of a huge falchion heading straight for the fiend's head...
[21:13] theonecag: Vanthus counters, he sickle coming down to hook his blade so his longsword can be driven into Anton's neck.
[21:13] theonecag: The air seems to blur into a storm of steel at the two collide...
[21:18] theonecag: Vanthus was swift, he had always been, but, this time, Anton was swifter.
[21:19] theonecag: Their blades met once, after that, silence, as Anton disappeared into a torrent of steal.
[21:22] theonecag: Though their encounter was brief, it was devastating. Anton reemerged behind Vanthus, landing rather undexteriously in the hole in the Sterncastle.
[21:22] theonecag: Vanthus, continued to float, his wings still holding with what little weapons he had.
[21:23] theonecag: The clouds then parted, allowing the sun to shine down on him, illuminating the falchion that had been ran through his chest...
[21:24] theonecag: Vanthus looked down at the blade, as he dropped his own weapons and began to fall downwards. He hit the deck, and life failed from his form.
[21:25] theonecag: The pirates, seeing their leader slain, began to make an about face, flying after their ship.
[21:27] Laharl01: Anton quietly says "Lavinia, my love, he's dead. You can live in peace." And maybe I'll even live to join you...
[21:27] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser dives back into the water and swims towards Sasser, dragging him back to the anchor line.
[21:28] Squall2551337: "Nice job Anton! Now for the rest of his men..."
[21:28] ForSovietRussia: EDIT: Sasser == Devlan
[21:28] theonecag: Demtrius looks after them. "Let them go."
[21:29] Zanaikin: Faina chases after the remaining warlock, entering range and hurling another pebble towards him, transforming into a boulder midflight
[21:29] theonecag: "Their battle is lost. I also got a message that the fighting in Sasserine is dying down.
[21:29] Squall2551337: "But I can take them out. Murderous bastards." Alexius says, staring after them, picking his targets.
[21:29] theonecag: "You're not in my fleet. do as you will."
[21:30] theonecag: "In the mean time, we need to figure out a way to get back to Sasserine."
[21:30] Zanaikin: ( attack : 32, damage : 18 )
[21:31] theonecag: Another splash was heard.
[21:31] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser hears them talking and shouts up as he looks for people needing help in the water. "I've got an idea on how to get back"
[21:31] theonecag: Moments later, the captain of the Grand Duke touched down on the deck.
[21:31] Squall2551337: "Booya!" Alexius exclaimed. As another electric orb errupted around the fleeing Sailors.
[21:31] Zanaikin: Faina lets loose her remaining pebble-boulder and her last remaining lightning calls on the retreating enemies before returning.
[21:32] theonecag: "Captain Borleero, reporting in." he said, giving a salute to Demetrius.
[21:32] theonecag: A few bodies in distance fell into the sea.
[21:33] Squall2551337: Electric Energy Ball, 7PP, WS +2, E: 10 ok, CS 37 half, 32/2=16 Ref DC 22 for half
[21:33] ForSovietRussia: Seeing that nobody else needed help, Tannhauser up the anchor rope and back onto the deck.
[21:33] theonecag: The rest of the bodies fall into the water.
[21:34] Zanaikin: after returning to the Sea Wyvern, Faina asks Demetrius. "I can chase them down if you'd like. borrow me Alexius and we can have them sunk within minutes"
[21:34] Laharl01: Pausing a moment for satisfactory reflection, Anton climbs back out of the hole.
[21:34] theonecag: Tanhauser proceeded to climb over, only to be grabbed by Demetrius, and slammed against the main mast.
[21:34] ForSovietRussia: He walks to the stern of the ship and surveys the damage to the sterncastle.
[21:34] theonecag: "WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS WERE YOU THINKING!!!"
[21:34] ForSovietRussia: EDIT: didnt walk back there)
[21:35] Squall2551337: "Not anymore. I'm nearly spent. I wanna save a little for when we get back, I got maybe one good blast left in me for today, and my crystals will give me two minor ones."
[21:35] theonecag: There was a rage in his eyes that few has ever seen.
[21:35] theonecag: Faerlan looked over to Faina, and waved his hand to signal for her to drop it.
[21:35] ForSovietRussia: "I was attempting go after the flagship, sir. As I recall, our mission was to take them out," Tannhauser replies.
[21:36] Zanaikin: Devlon convert a Cure Serious Wounds on himself
[21:37] Zanaikin: ( actually, using the belt of healing first )
[21:37] theonecag: "I ordered you to continue closing with them! Not to turn around!"
[21:37] theonecag: "And I certainly didn't order you to pull that off."
[21:37] ForSovietRussia: "Closing with them from the side would have exposed us to potential broadside fire from their weapons."
[21:38] ForSovietRussia: "Their aft weapon mount was disabled, thus approaching them from the stern placed us out of their firing arcs"
[21:38] theonecag: "And turning away let them escape!"
[21:38] ForSovietRussia: "If we had not lost the rudder we would have been able to sail with the wind and catch up with them"
[21:38] theonecag: Demetrius, infuriated, grabbed Tanhauser's pendant, ripped it off, and tossed it into the water.
[21:39] Squall2551337: "Um, We didn't really let them escape."
[21:39] Squall2551337: "There isn't anyone left TO escape
[21:39] theonecag: "The Golden Dolphins is no place for captains so idiotic and reckless as you!"
[21:39] Squall2551337: so all we did is leave an empty vessle to sail out to sea with no rudder."
[21:39] theonecag: With that, he stormed off.
[21:39] Zanaikin: listening by the side, Faina is trying to figure out to say something, except was also getting distressed and clueless on what to say.
[21:41] theonecag: Captain Borleero proceeds to summon a water elemental, and order it to push the ship towards Sasserine.
[21:41] Squall2551337: "Hey, Tan, don't let him mess with you man, Awesome job out there today."
[21:41] Zanaikin: Faina chases after Demetrius "Sir, with all due respect, Tan was only doing what he thought was best for the situation."
[21:42] theonecag: "We'll discuss this later."
[21:42] Squall2551337: "Maybe not the smothest battle, but hey, we're all still alive, and they aren't, so we won!"
[21:42] theonecag: Just then, the sound of someone climbing up the side of the ship was heard...
[21:43] Squall2551337: Alexius calls over to Faina: "Hey, Faina, you wanna grab Devlon, and go see if you can recover their flagship?
[21:44] theonecag: Soon after, Tess poked her head over the side, and, after coughing up a bit of water said, "Did domeone drop an amulet?"
[21:44] Squall2551337: "Another seaworthy ish vessle won't hurt."
[21:44] Zanaikin: Faina looks at Alexius... "definitely could try
[21:45] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser quietly walks to the stern of the Wyvern and surveys the damage to the sterncastle.
[21:46] Zanaikin: and looking at the fast disappearing enemy Flag.. "or not, chances are we won't catch it fast enough to get back in time "
[21:46] theonecag: Captain Borleero walks over to Tanhauser.
[21:47] theonecag: "Don't worry lad, he's just tired. Let Fain talk to him a bit. The war's not over.
[21:47] Squall2551337: "In time, probably not, but I'm nearly spent, and I can watch over things on it's way back if Devlon can get it turned in the right direction."
[21:47] Zanaikin: Faina goes over to Tess and talks to her in a hushed voice "I can take that for now, it's Tan's and I don't think he's in the mood to take it right now "
[21:48] theonecag: "Okay." she replies, collapsing onto the deck, exhausted.
[21:50] Squall2551337: "So Faina, we going to at least stop that boat? We may want it for the next battle. As was said, the war ain't over."
[21:50] ForSovietRussia: <DM ORDERED BREAK>

(02:24:00 PM) Drew: ((BEGIN TRANSMISSION))
(02:25:05 PM) Eric left the room.
(02:28:16 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Common ye bastards! Get those crates movin! We don't ahve all day!
(02:29:58 PM) Scott T left the room.
(02:31:12 PM) Scott T entered the room.
(02:31:56 PM) Dai: Seeing as everyone else seems to be busy being distracted, Faina puts aside the sea charts she was studying and walks over to the three newcomers "Can we help you?"
(02:31:56 PM) Scott T: The large creature in the cloak begins to approach the Wyvern and its crew
(02:32:18 PM) Drew: Vulgora: An Ogre and two Elves approach!
(02:32:59 PM) Scott T: "Excuse me, I understand this ship is bound for the Isle of Dread. Is this so?"
(02:33:16 PM) Drew: Farelan: Aye. What of it?
(02:34:19 PM) Dai: Faina takes out her staff. Something about this setup is... suspicious.
(02:34:24 PM) Scott T: the half ogre nods. "I have need to travel there. Would it be possible to allow me passage?"
(02:34:48 PM) Dai: Faina: "And what do you need passage there for?"
(02:42:12 PM) Scott T: "Apparently there is some manner of evil there which I have been tasked to fight."
(02:42:41 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Sounds about right.
(02:43:08 PM) Dai: Faina looks at Faerlan: "I don't remember hearing about getting outside help for this though."
(02:43:23 PM) Drew: Faerlan: But whether you're goin in up to the Captain.
(02:43:37 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Er, well, both of em' in this case.
(02:43:47 PM) Scott T: "Very well. Who is the Captain here?"
(02:44:52 PM) Drew: Caelian: He's with the Church of the Whirling Fury, I believe. Based on his guards.
(02:45:07 PM) Scott T: Francis nods
(02:47:14 PM) Dai: Faina: "One would think they would have talked to us beforehand about this kind of thing. But if he's from that church chances are this is alright."
(02:48:32 PM) Judson: Devlan moves forward, taking a good look at the Ogre
(02:49:10 PM) Judson: "I know him. He is indeed a member of the Whirling Fury. I say we take him along, we need all the help we can get."
(02:51:42 PM) Dai: Faina: "Well, in that case it should be fine then." she then withdraws her weapon and goes down to tell this to Tannhauser.
(02:53:10 PM) Scott T: Francis studies Devlan for a moment. "Yes, I think I recognize you too. Are you the captain of this ship?"
(02:53:23 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Captain! We need you on deck!
(02:53:37 PM) Marty: Tannhauser looks up from the navigation charts that he was using to plot a course. "Devlan vouches for him? Okay, I'll come up."
(02:53:43 PM) Judson: "No, the captain is below. I am merely a passenger"
(02:53:47 PM) Me: "This hack? Not a chance."
(02:55:13 PM) Scott T: Francis manages a small smile. "I see. Where is he then, buried in a chart somewhere?"
(02:55:27 PM) Marty: Tannhauser stands up from the table and heads out of his cabin. "Someone needed to see me?"
(02:55:27 PM) Me: "Most likely." Anton shrugs.
(02:55:37 PM) Judson: "Faina just went to fetch him. Hopefully he will be up relatively soon."
(02:56:05 PM) Scott T: Francis notes the new arrival on deck. "Ah, you are the Captain, I trust?"
(02:56:09 PM) Drew: Faerlan: The big fella wants to tag along.
(02:56:53 PM) Judson: "He is a very well-respected member of the Church of the Whirling Fury, known for his stalwart defense of the good and the right."
(02:57:45 PM) Marty: Tannhauser puts his hat back on, "So, any particular reason why a member of the Church is going to the Isle of Dread?"
(02:58:15 PM) Me: "You mean besides Devlan?"
(02:58:22 PM) Scott T: "I recieved a vision tasking me with the destruction of a great evil there."
(02:58:36 PM) Dai: Faina comes back with Tann "Well, we already got one of them onboard anyways."
(02:59:13 PM) Marty: "Good point, and with a name like the 'Isle of Dread' I imagine the natives won't be too friendly either."
(02:59:50 PM) Scott T: Francis smiles. "I am used to dealing with unfriendly natives. It will be no trouble."
(03:00:23 PM) Marty: "Well then, welcome aboard, Mister.....? And who are your elven friends?"
(03:00:26 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Captain! Ship is loaded, and ready to go. Awaiting the order to set sail.
(03:02:07 PM) Scott T: "I am Francis of Terrington. And they will not be coming with us, they were just helping me find the right ship. Thank you, guys."
(03:02:24 PM) Drew: The two elves nod, and wander off.
(03:03:05 PM) Dai: Faina: "Shame, they reminded me of the elven hero from that book."
(03:03:34 PM) Marty: "So what do we call you? Friar? Brother? He Who Smashes Skulls In?"
(03:04:01 PM) Scott T: "Whatever you will. Being what I am, I'm accustomed to worse."
(03:04:32 PM) Drew: Caelian: Come now, Captain. Let's be respectful on Whirling Fury members.
(03:06:02 PM) Me: "Pleased to meet you, Francis. I'm Anton."
(03:07:28 PM) Drew: The crew introduce themselves severally.
(03:07:28 PM) Dai: Faina: "Same here, and I'm Faina. Sorry for the trouble earlier, but we can't be too careful with a mission like this."
(03:07:50 PM) Marty: "Glad to have you onboard Francis. I'm Tannhauser Raken the Eleventh, Captain of the Sea Wyvern," Tannhauser says as he turns and lowers his tinted goggles.
(03:07:51 PM) Marty: "All hands prepare for departure," he shouts as he makes his way to the wheel.
(03:08:02 PM) Scott T: "Fair enough. A pleasure to meet you all."
(03:08:23 PM) Drew: The crew immediately scrambles into action.
(03:09:03 PM) Judson: Devlan moves over to Francis, "Come brother, I'll show you to a cabin and fill you in on what we know about this quest."
(03:10:22 PM) Scott T: "Of course, brother. Thank you."
(03:10:42 PM) Drew: Within a few minutes, the sails are down, and ship loose.
(03:10:58 PM) Drew: You begin to sail outside of Sasserine.
(03:13:52 PM) Drew: As the ship begins to pass by the outer reach of the docks. Faina receives a short, albeit shocking message spell...
(03:14:53 PM) Drew: Faina! Don't stop! Go! After the Isle of Dread, head to Scuttle-
(03:15:56 PM) Drew: A massive explosion echos from Azure District, and smoke begins to rise into the air.
(03:16:26 PM) Me: "What?!"
(03:16:56 PM) Dai: Faina: "... oh my... they, destroyed our outpost in the city."
(03:17:00 PM) Marty: Tannhauser turns his head to look at the source of the explosion. "What in the Nine Hells was that?"
(03:17:20 PM) Drew: Most of the crew rushes to the starboard side of the ship. Looks of horror and shock amongst them.
(03:17:27 PM) Scott T: "I thought the battle was over?"
(03:17:30 PM) Marty: "Who? Who did it?"
(03:17:39 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Something tells me that the post office wasn't the intended target.
(03:17:51 PM) Dai: Faina: "unless my suspicions are wrong, the Golden Dolphins outpost just got attacked."
(03:18:14 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Well, captain, do we continue on, or turn around?
(03:18:53 PM) Dai: Faina: "I received an abruptly ended message at the last minute telling us to continue. I think... I think it might have been from Demetrius."
(03:19:08 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Oh, dear...
(03:19:27 PM) Marty: "If Demetrius wanted us to continue with his last thoughts, then we continue."
(03:19:39 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Aye sir.
(03:21:12 PM) Drew: As the ship continues, the city begins to fade...
(03:22:17 PM) Dai: Faina fires up her pendant and hastily address a message to Demetrius via its Whispering Wind: "Sir! Captain! If you are still there please respond immediately!"
(03:22:44 PM) Drew: Minutes go by without response.
(03:24:31 PM) Drew: The city is now but a collection of dots and specks.
(03:24:48 PM) Dai: Faina looks at Tannhauser: "... I don't believe it... how did this happen? We had won the battle too..."
(03:25:28 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Something tells me that this wasn't the work of the Crimson Sails.
(03:25:44 PM) Drew: Niles: Aye, seems a bit to covet for them.
(03:27:55 PM) Dai: Faina salutes towards the city vanishing on the horizon, swearing an oath under her breath "My father, Tann's father, and now Demetrius also. I will NOT let this simple continue. They will pay dearly for what they did."
(03:31:00 PM) Dai: Faina: "May you rest in peace sir. Your death will not be in vain. We will take vengeance to the foes behind everything, rest assured."
(03:32:52 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Sir, you might want to say something to the men. Morale is dropping a bit.
(03:35:04 PM) Marty: "Fear not comrades! We shall avenge their deaths tenfold!!"
(03:36:31 PM) Dai: Faina also turns around and addresses the crew. "Proud members of the Golden Dolphins, it is our enemies who have just attempted to ruin us in the cowardly and despicable fashion and stop our advance."
(03:37:16 PM) Drew: The crew cheers.
(03:38:20 PM) Dai: "While Captain Demetrius is lost, we are here, still going, heading towards the heart of their territory, to plunge our blade into their most vital positions!"
(03:38:52 PM) Drew: The crew stops cheering.
(03:39:15 PM) Drew: Sailor: They... killed Captain... Demetrius?
(03:41:03 PM) Dai: "We cannot let the death of our Captain and commander, and of all those men in the Sasserine outpost be in vain! We must take vengeance for them! To channel our fury in its full might onto those who dared to awaken our wrath!"
(03:41:30 PM) Drew: The crew begins cheering again.
(03:42:08 PM) Drew: Faerlan lets out a noticeable sigh of relief.
(03:43:17 PM) Dai: "We shall make them feel our wrath! To make them pay for every sin and atrocity they have committed against Sasserine, against the Golden Dolphins, again all those who have suffered in the coastal regions at their hands."
(03:44:06 PM) Drew: The crew again roars with confidence.
(03:45:09 PM) Drew: And so, despite the days events, the day comes to a close, and night falls...
(03:47:10 PM) Dai: Faina starts full cast of utility spells to enhance and quicken the journey to destination:
(03:48:45 PM) Dai: Control Currents (x2): lasts 200min, 200ft-radius emanation around me where water will float in the direction of our heading at a strengthened current, helping to carry the ship along.
(03:49:59 PM) Dai: Favorable Wind (x3, extended): lasts 10hrs, a cone of wind blows from me directly into the ship's sails with the strength of a 30MPH wind to help propel the ship.
(03:51:00 PM) Dai: Disguise Ship (x2): lasts 20hrs (last 4 hrs put around midnight time), to make the ship appear as if it were a generic merchant vessel (which is probably armed) on the open seas.
(03:52:07 PM) Dai: Stormrunner's Ward (x3): always active: grants the ship a +6 bonus on saves while sailing in bad weather
(03:54:33 PM) Drew: Week 1 Day 4:
(03:55:08 PM) Drew: A ship sporting pirate colors (not CF) is spotted on the horizon. What is your plan of action?
(03:56:37 PM) Dai: Detect Ship -> to gather ship size/class, ship name is particularly recognizable, and armaments
(03:58:01 PM) Drew: Ship is Caravel class, called the Spine Splitter. Armaments ae two ballistae.
(03:59:13 PM) Dai: Faina: "Cavarel class Crimson flag ship, the Spine Splitter apparently, two ballistae armed coming at us. Should I take them out or do we want to engage them?" she address last portion to Tann especially.
(04:00:21 PM) Dai: (ignore 'Crimson', misread <_<)
(04:01:45 PM) Marty: "Not Crimson Flag you say? And they are coming towards us?"
(04:02:06 PM) Marty: "Very well, all hands prepare to defend! Faina, how far out are they?"
(04:02:12 PM) Dai: Faina: "Right on, seems like the generic garden variety pirate."
(04:02:29 PM) Scott T: *cracks his knuckles* "Excellent"
(04:03:04 PM) Me: Anton rolls his shoulders to loosen up and activates his transformation sequence. "Armor ON!"
(04:03:09 PM) Marty: Tannhauser activates his ring of arming to summon his armor, the glowing orb remains dim as he pulls his tinted goggles down over his eyes.
(04:03:10 PM) Me: "I could use a good fight."
(04:03:42 PM) Dai: Faina: "We'll be coming up in range in 10 minutes at this speed."
(04:03:56 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Alright lads! Get ready for battle!
(04:04:34 PM) Judson: Devlan casts Sign on himself
(04:05:44 PM) Dai: Faina casts Mass Fire Resistance on the crew (resist 20)
(04:06:23 PM) Marty: Tannhauser activates all his melds, his armor taking on a golden hue, blue tendrils snaking up his legs from his boots, and a pair of mettalic gloves forming over his hands.
(04:06:48 PM) Marty: His longsword arms glow with a faint blue aura but his longsword does not appear yet.
(04:07:16 PM) Me: Anton goes into a light meditation, waiting for the ships to draw closer.
(04:07:32 PM) Drew: Faerlan moves to the bombard on the Stern deck; his daughter, to the one on the forward deck.
(04:07:38 PM) Marty: Alexius meditates to focus himself
(04:08:06 PM) Dai: Faina also casts See Invisibility on herself, and Barkskin shared with Strelka
(04:16:04 PM) Drew: The opposing ship notices you as well, and begins to close.
(04:16:11 PM) Drew: Though not nearly as fast...
(04:16:17 PM) Drew: 7 minutes...
(04:16:19 PM) Scott T: "Any day now..."
(04:18:24 PM) Drew: 6 minutes...
(04:18:43 PM) Drew: 5 minutes....
(04:18:45 PM) Judson: Devlan casts Shield of Faith on himself
(04:21:51 PM) Drew: 4 minutes
(04:22:02 PM) Drew: 3
(04:23:48 PM) Drew: As the ships begin to close upon each other, all aboard the 'Wyvern could hear the all-too-familiar sound of creatures crawling up on the side of the ship...
(04:24:03 PM) Drew: Caelia: Crap...
(04:24:19 PM) Scott T: Francis hefts his halberd. "Showtime..."
(04:24:31 PM) Me: Anton pulls the Mental Blade out with a steely rasp. "Let's do this."
(04:24:42 PM) Drew: Faerlan: I'm surprised I haven't built a contingency for this yet.
(04:24:53 PM) Marty: Tannhauser's blade appears in his hand, "Not again"
(04:34:39 PM) Drew: Quite a bit of scraping later, an entire pack Sahuagin climb over the deck, and the battle begins...
(04:36:58 PM) Judson: Devlan casts Summon Monster V, and a pair of Tigers with reddish fur and gleaming green eyes appear at opposite sides of the deck
(04:37:07 PM) Judson: with a terrifying roar, they hurtle together
(04:37:16 PM) Judson: hitting the leading sahuagin from both sides at once
(04:39:21 PM) Drew: The first tiger rips apart one of the raiders before the other tiger has a chance to act.
(04:40:23 PM) Judson: The second tiger hurtles into another sahuagin
(04:41:04 PM) Drew: And another sahuagin is violently torn to death.
(04:43:53 PM) Drew: Another Sahuagin, this one dressed less like a warrior, and more like caster, climbs over, and, casts a spell.
(04:44:17 PM) Drew: Within seconds, a torrent of sleet and snow drowns out practically all vision on the main deck.
(04:44:40 PM) Dai: (spellcraft: 28)
(04:44:51 PM) Judson: (Spellcraft: 21 )
(04:46:29 PM) Judson: (Spot: 24 Listen: 20)
(04:47:01 PM) Scott T: (spot 27 listen 22)
(04:47:23 PM) Marty: (Tannhauser: Spot - 29, Listen - 14)
(04:47:35 PM) Dai: (spot: 31, listen: 22)
(04:49:42 PM) Drew: Through the chaos, Faina manages to see four of the raiders climb back over, and, in the distance, hears, "FIRE!"
(04:50:41 PM) Drew: Seconds a later, a ballista bolt from the opposing ship flies towards towards the forward hull section...
(04:51:49 PM) Drew: A crack is heard and bolt hits the hull, and, suddenly, everyone is thrown forward as though the ship has come to an almost complete halt...
(04:52:07 PM) Drew: Faina noticed that has the bolt broke, it released a solid fog...
(04:52:54 PM) Dai: Faina: "Well... it could be a lot worse I suppose. They still think we're a merchant ship apparently."
(04:53:07 PM) Dai: Faina: "I think they're going for capture not kill"
(04:53:22 PM) Drew: Faerlan: No! Really?
(04:54:08 PM) Dai: Faina: "I'd question that if we're a warship, they'd probably be firing sonic blast bolts at us now."
(04:54:28 PM) Drew: By virtue of the sleet storm, everyone on the main deck is through into the forecastle, piling on top of one another (prone, take 5 points of damage).
(04:56:22 PM) Dai: Faina redirects her Favorable Wind into the center of sleet storm, trying to cut away the vision-obscuring snow with the 60ft cone of 30MPH wind
(04:57:06 PM) Marty: Tannhauser curses loudly in Aquan as he flies over the helm to <whereverHeEndsUp>
(04:57:52 PM) Drew: Tanhauser is lauched at the main mast, and it does not end well (18 damage, and roll fort).
(04:58:34 PM) Marty: (Fort: 23)
(04:58:49 PM) Drew: (Tanhauser is dazed).
(04:59:38 PM) Drew: Faerlan and everyone else is launched onto various parts of the deck, and the everyone in the rigging and on the forecastle is in the water.
(05:00:20 PM) Drew: Faina's wind magic doesn't seem to effect the storm.
(05:04:33 PM) Scott T: Francis stands up from the pile of people and takes a hack at the first sahuagin he sees (attack roll 30)
(05:05:02 PM) Scott T: (EDIT: ignore)
(05:06:33 PM) Scott T: Francis stands up
(05:07:19 PM) Scott T: (balance 16)
(05:07:48 PM) Marty: Tannhauser shakes his head and tries to clear his vision
(05:09:19 PM) Me: Anton levers himself up, shaking his head to get rid of the birds. He settles into a defensive stance, daring the sahuagin to attack him with that little 'bring it!' wave.
(05:11:30 PM) Drew: There is much effort by the crew to rise from the pileup, but little success. Caelian does, however, manage to dispel the Sleet Storm from prone.
(05:12:06 PM) Drew: Faerlan also whips out a scroll, says a few words, and a bolt of lightning blasts two of the raiders from the ship.
(05:20:01 PM) Drew: Faina manages to struggle out after considerable effort.
(05:20:31 PM) Dai: Faina shouts out as she extracts herself: "Alexius, focus fire on enemy ship, destroy their weapons before they can unload 'nother spell-storing bolt on us!"
(05:21:14 PM) Drew: The raiders climb over the deck fully, and move towards the back of the ship near the stern castle, each one pulling out a flask of come green liquid.
(05:21:56 PM) Drew: Then, all at once, they launch their flasks at the pile of crew members.
(05:22:36 PM) Me: (Ref: 21)
(05:22:43 PM) Scott T: (ref save: 25, evasion)
(05:22:45 PM) Dai: (ref: 17)
(05:23:04 PM) Marty: (Squall: beat 15)
(05:23:56 PM) Judson: (Devlan and tigers beat 15)
(05:24:28 PM) Dai: (Strelka: beats, improved eva)
(05:25:07 PM) Drew: The raiders, not factoring in the wind, watch, disheartened, as all of the flasks are blown overboard.
(05:26:09 PM) Drew: Faina here's another "FIRE" from the enemy ship.
(05:27:32 PM) Drew: Another bolt comes flying in, and hits the top section of rigging on the main mast. A tremendous burst of flame results, and not much survives. The tattered, charred remains of Tanhauser's flag fall next to him.
(05:32:17 PM) Marty: Alexius dimension doors out of the pile.
(05:33:36 PM) Drew: Alexis dimension doors out of the pile, and about 5 in front of it.
(05:42:43 PM) Judson: The two tigers try to surge out of the pile of sailors (Grapple: 30, 34)
(05:43:24 PM) Drew: The tigers have no trouble themselves, they do it swiftly and deftly, and don't take anyone's face off with their claws.
(05:44:36 PM) Judson: Devlan then casts Summon Monster V, and a pair of Bearded Devils appear in the center of the deck, hefting their glaives menacingly
(05:45:19 PM) Judson: Devlan shouts to them in Infernal
(05:45:20 PM) Drew: The sahuagin look visibly scared.
(05:45:56 PM) Judson: and the two devils vanish, appearing directly on top of the enemy ship's foreward ballista
(05:46:28 PM) Drew: Faina can hear quite a bit of commotion coming from the enemy ship.
(05:49:54 PM) Drew: Four hulking brutes of Sahugin shout something in Aquan ("Slaughter them!") and hop down to join their comrades. Who are drawing weapons of their own.
(05:59:00 PM) Scott T: Francis grins and moves up to within comfortable striking distance of the large group of raiders (ie, close enough to attack with my 10' reach)
(05:59:59 PM) Scott T: and attacks a random raider ( 30)
(06:01:12 PM) Drew: A random raider is pulped.
(06:02:05 PM) Scott T: Fancis Cleaves! ( 38)
(06:02:48 PM) Drew: Again, blood and limbs is slapshed over the raiders.
(06:03:56 PM) Drew: Tanhauser is still dazed.
(06:07:31 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(06:07:49 PM) Me: Anton raises the Mental Blade to the sky as it shines with a blue light. "Come on! Let's sweep this scum from our ship!"...
(06:07:50 PM) Me: He dashes over to two of the sahuagins and, with a massive swing, attempts to slice them in two with one stroke.
(06:10:42 PM) Drew: The blade cuts cleanly through the waist of the first raider, and slices across the thighs of the other.
(06:11:47 PM) Drew: Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of scrambling, the crew manages to pull itself up. There is a moment of pause as they look upon their attackers.
(06:12:18 PM) Drew: The, Faerlan walks forward, a flaming mace in his hand and says, "Alright boys! Take em' down!"
(06:12:37 PM) Drew: The crew charges the raiders, and the deck erupts in chaos.
(06:13:19 PM) Dai: Faina pulls out her metamagic rod and hastily charges a fireball, which is then hurled onto the enemy vessel's sterncastle, making sure to stay away from the rigging and catch the rear ballista in the blast.
(06:13:23 PM) Dai: (Empowered Fireball: 63 dmg, DC 19)
(06:14:33 PM) Drew: The enemy sterncastle is engulfed in flame, as are those who were standing up there. None are standing when it subsides.
(06:16:57 PM) Drew: The raiders clash with the crew, and it is immediately obvious who as the advantage as 3 more of their number are felled.
(06:17:07 PM) Drew: More chaos from the enemy ship.
(06:21:39 PM) Drew: Jeopardy music plays in the background...
(06:23:10 PM) Marty: Alexius manifests a wild surged energy missile, the bolts of fire striking 5 random lizards
(06:23:43 PM) Marty: (electricity)
(06:25:42 PM) Marty: (roll is 20: normal damage. REF DC for half 27)
(06:25:52 PM) Marty: (Damage: 10d6+10 electricity)
(06:26:06 PM) Marty: (53 electricity damage)
(06:26:35 PM) Drew: Two of the sea lizards take the hits and remain standing, while the other three are literally cooked alive.
(06:27:17 PM) Marty: Alexius: "I love the smell of roast lizard in the morning"
(06:27:22 PM) Marty: "Smells like....victory"
(06:31:48 PM) Drew: Faina, out of the corner of her eye watches a figure bearing the cloths of a mage fly by, heading towards the melee on the Wyvern.
(06:32:43 PM) Drew: It stops about 30ft up and away from the melee, summons an orb of acid into it's hand, and launches it at Francis...
(06:35:18 PM) Drew: The orb smashes into Francis, causing concentrated acid to rush over his torso, completely destroying his left arm (82 acid damage)
(06:36:57 PM) Drew: After the orb hits him, the caster, a half-orc mage, with a pair of bluish dragon wings, and laughing wildly.
(06:40:16 PM) Judson: Devlan casts Invisibility on himself, then runs to the rail and dives over, swimming for the enemy ship
(06:40:47 PM) Judson: The two tigers then dive into the melee on the deck
(06:41:43 PM) Judson: each one picking out a target and pouncing viciously
(06:42:13 PM) Drew: Two sahuagin fall in their assault.
(06:42:39 PM) Judson: The Barbazu on the enemy ship begin tearing through the ranks of the enemy
(06:45:34 PM) Drew: The enemy ship isn't any less chaotic then the Wyvern. One of wave of pirates has already been cut down, and the others don't really seem like stepping up.
(06:45:47 PM) Drew: Some have even began to abandon ship.
(06:46:50 PM) Drew: Three figures in the crowded melee surg through the melee, one of them cut down in the process.
(06:47:00 PM) Drew: The remaining two dive overboard.
(06:48:16 PM) Scott T: Francis, unable to use his weapon with only one arm, withdraws from combat and drinks one of his CSW potions (heals 20)
(06:49:15 PM) Drew: Tanhauser no longer sees the canaries.
(06:50:07 PM) Marty: Tannhauser's vision finally clears and the first thing he sees is his flag in tatters
(06:58:55 PM) Marty: With a great shout of rage his sword flashses to life and he swings it at the nearest sahaugin's leg
(06:59:00 PM) Marty: (level 2 stunt)
(06:59:56 PM) Drew: The resulting swing takes out two of sahuagin.
(07:01:06 PM) Marty: Tannhauser rolls to his feet after taking out the two lizards
(07:02:49 PM) Drew: With a brilliant slash, another two are brought down.
(07:03:05 PM) Drew: With only 6 remaining, the final raiders drop their weapons.
(07:08:37 PM) Me: Anton nocks an arrow on his shortbow and fires it at the mage.
(07:08:41 PM) Me: (attack: 19)
(07:10:26 PM) Drew: The arrow fly's wide.
(07:11:41 PM) Drew: Most of the crew members stand buy, awaiting Tanhauser's orders on whether to capture or kill them.
(07:13:06 PM) Drew: Caelian and Faerlan both attempt dispels on the (farelan using a wand). When they're done she stops laughing, and falls into the water.
(07:16:39 PM) Dai: Faina then casts Master Air as a pair of translucent immaterial wings sprouts from her back. She takes off from the sterncastle towards the left side of the main deck...
(07:16:46 PM) Dai: To direct her wind spell in the same direction as the ocean's wind into the Solid Fog and attempting to disperse it through their combined strength.
(07:17:37 PM) Drew: The solid fog is dispelled.
(07:23:19 PM) Drew: From this point, the rest of the battle dissolves. The orc captain surrenders, and their ship is left at your disposal.
(07:24:32 PM) fastillion918 entered the room.
(07:24:36 PM) fastillion918 left the room.
(07:24:38 PM) deathchuckles entered the room.
(07:24:55 PM) Melvster2 entered the room.
(07:26:05 PM) Drew: Faerlan: Sir, as much as the prospect of adding to our forces may seem like a good idea, all I believe it will accomplish is slowing us down.
(07:27:41 PM) Marty: "Good point, we shall gather what we need from their ship and damage their rudder extensively. By the time they get it fixed, we should be well away from here."
(07:28:16 PM) Marty: "Unless you think it wiser to just sink their ship?"
(07:28:17 PM) Dai: Faina: "well, I could just sink their ship after we take the needed goods."
(07:28:19 PM) Drew: Caelian: Very well, I don't think we have the compliment to have the other ship running anyway.
(07:28:24 PM) Scott T: "Might I recommend taking their loot? Maybe the'll have something to fix my arm?"
(07:28:41 PM) Me: "Taking their loot was more or less assumed."
(07:28:44 PM) Drew: Orc Captain: So, you'll just be setting us adrift then, with no direction?
(07:30:33 PM) deathchuckles left the room.
(07:30:39 PM) Melvster2 left the room.
(07:31:33 PM) Marty: "And yes, we shall take all non-essential goods from their ship too. Then we shall put the enemy crew in their life boats and scuttle their ship."
(07:32:09 PM) Drew: Orc Captain: Cant say I like the odds.
(07:32:24 PM) Drew: OC: What with being days from land.
(07:32:29 PM) Scott T: "Well, we could just string you up now. Like those odds?"
(07:33:06 PM) Drew: OC: Nice idea half-breed. you think of that idea all by yourself?
(07:33:38 PM) Scott T: "Indeed I did. What of it?"
(07:35:13 PM) Drew: OC: Slow as rock, just like all you're kind.
(07:35:32 PM) Marty: [19:34] ForSovietRussia: Tannhauser steps between the two, "Okay you two, break it up." He turns to the orc...
(07:35:33 PM) Marty: "Look, I'm sparing your life under one condition. If I EVER see you or your crew again, I'm going to let him" he points over his shoulder at Francis, "do things his way."
(07:35:38 PM) Drew: OC: But I suppose they;re better off, at least they don't have any flippers.
(07:35:43 PM) Scott T: "Hark who's talking. Last I checked, orcs we'rent know for their brains either"
(07:36:37 PM) Drew: OC: At least my mother wasn't a frog.
(07:39:28 PM) Scott T: (Will save 22)
(07:41:13 PM) Scott T: Francis slugs her with all his might
(07:41:48 PM) Marty: Tannhauser ducks out of the way and moves out from between the two
(07:41:50 PM) Scott T: "And be grateful it wasn't more."
(07:43:27 PM) Drew: The orc's jaw has been dislocated. She glare at hi, and, without a move, another orb of acid flies towards him...
(07:44:01 PM) Marty: Tannhauser runs off to find a mop so someone can clean up the blood from the resulting brawl
(07:46:11 PM) Drew: Another blast of acid hits Francis, though this one is not nearly as powerful as the last (38 acid damage)
(07:47:16 PM) Marty: Tannhauser's sword flashes to life
(07:48:32 PM) Marty: He screams and swings his sword at the orc's neck.
(07:48:36 PM) Drew: Shortly after the orb hits Francis, the other pirates try to attack, but fail.
(07:48:59 PM) Drew: However, in the midst of the chaos, the remaining raider manage to retreat overbaord.
(07:49:28 PM) Marty: (attack roll: 19 (above 30), confirm roll: 27)
(07:49:38 PM) Me: Anton slams the orc into the deck with his fist. (Francis heals 2hp)
(07:53:44 PM) Drew: ((COMMENCE 20 minute break))
(07:53:45 PM) Me: Anton starts humming "Loot, loot, loot the pirates."
(07:58:05 PM) Judson left the room.
(08:01:33 PM) Marty left the room.
(08:08:58 PM) Scott T left the room.
(08:09:40 PM) Marty entered the room.
(08:17:37 PM) Eric entered the room.
(08:33:55 PM) Drew: After salvaging some of the rigging and looting most of the cargo, you scuttle the enemy vessel. The Spine-Splitter would terrorize the seas no more.
(08:37:15 PM) Drew: The map found within the Spine-Splitter leading to an island that is literally right next to the Isle of Dread.
(08:42:21 PM) Drew: To a small island called Thornholt
(08:43:35 PM) Drew: And so, the 'Wyvern continued its journey.
(08:44:01 PM) Drew: Weeks went by with action, or entertainment.
(08:44:50 PM) Drew: You stopped at the occasional port to restock, but never staying more than a night. For you had a mission to deal with.
(08:47:53 PM) Drew: Week 6, Day 1:
(08:55:14 PM) Drew: A cool morning, and a clear day.
(08:57:54 PM) Drew: You begin to hear what sounds like a low toned chuckle, coming from under the ship.
(09:00:18 PM) Drew: Without warning, what appears to be a massive dragon head rises from the water beside the 'Wyvern.
(09:00:52 PM) Drew: The head is huge, a bit bigger than the 'Wyvern itself.
(09:01:29 PM) Drew: The creature eyes the 'Wyvern, and continues to swim alongside of it.
(09:02:17 PM) Drew: Water Dragon: Indeed, mortals are creating even finer and finer atercraft these days.
(09:04:17 PM) Drew: Sea Drake: Come now, don't let my visage, intimidate you. I mean you know harm?
(09:04:34 PM) Drew: SD: Or did I happen to find a ship full of mute pirates?
(09:05:01 PM) Me: "Heh. Sorry about that, you caught us by surprise. We're no pirates."
(09:05:20 PM) Dai: Faina lowers her guard in an apparent manner and smiles at the dragon: "And I must thank you for your comment. Faerlan, that's the gnome there, would be the one responsible for the ship's current well maintained condition."
(09:05:33 PM) Drew: SD: Tell me, who is the owner of this ship?
(09:05:33 PM) Dai: *Compliment*
(09:05:58 PM) Me: Anton gestures to Tann, "Captain Tannhauser here."
(09:05:59 PM) Marty: Tannhauser raises a hand "That would be me"
(09:06:15 PM) Marty: Tannhauser is still at the wheel
(09:06:29 PM) Drew: SD: Why so shy? You need not be ashamed of such a proud vessel as this.
(09:07:44 PM) Marty: "You startled us, I was still a little shocked from the sight of you rising from the depths"
(09:08:03 PM) Drew: SD: I tend to have that effect. I meant no harm.
(09:08:19 PM) Drew: SD: Tell me, where do you sail with such purpose?
(09:09:23 PM) Me: Anton concentrates for a couple seconds. (Detect Evil)
(09:09:38 PM) Drew: Anton senses no evil.
(09:09:51 PM) Me: Anton looks unobtrusively relieved.
(09:12:13 PM) Marty: "We are sailing for the Isle of Dread"
(09:14:39 PM) Drew: The Sea Drake eyes you for a moment.
(09:14:59 PM) Drew: SD: Isle of Dread? For what purpose would you have to go there?
(09:15:44 PM) Me: Anton hurriedly responds, "We do not serve those foul creatures there. Our purpose is to wipe them out, in point of fact."
(09:16:09 PM) Me: (Diplo 21)
(09:17:47 PM) Drew: SD: Surely you do not mean all of the foulness that darkens that island?
(09:18:30 PM) Marty: "Yes. They must pay for their raid on Sasserine and all the other destruction and death they have caused."
(09:18:37 PM) Me: Anton regains his composure. "As much as is possible for us to destroy, we shall."
(09:20:02 PM) Drew: SD: You seek something in particular. Perhaps I can help show you to?
(09:21:14 PM) Me: "Have you heard of the recent foulness against the nature of life caused by the shadow pearls?"
(09:22:09 PM) Dai: Faina looks at Anton and Tann for a second, unsure if it is a good idea to be this open. She then examines the dragon as he speaks for his tone and emotions when speaking of the shadow pearls (sense motive 22)
(09:24:06 PM) Drew: SD: I have not heard of these pearls (Not lying).
(09:24:32 PM) Me: Anton explains the general effect of the pearls to the dragon.
(09:26:04 PM) Drew: SD: That is truly shocking. One would think I would know of such things. Especially when they are being created on an island in my territory.
(09:26:45 PM) Drew: SD: Your frightens me, for it reminds me of the destruction wrought upon the island so long ago.
(09:27:26 PM) Me: Ever the scholar, Anton asks "What happened?"
(09:28:29 PM) Marty: Tannhauser is paying attention, but is keeping a look out for anything in the way of the boat (i.e. rocks, other ships, coastlines)
(09:30:57 PM) Drew: SD: One day the island was the capital of a mighty empire, and within a few hours, it had been reduced to a havoc of ravenous beats.
(09:31:49 PM) Drew: SD: I never learned what has caused the destruction, but the way you describe these Shadow Pearls resounds clearly within my mind.
(09:31:57 PM) Drew: SD: Tell me, who carries them?
(09:32:17 PM) Me: "They are born by agents of the Crimson Fleet."
(09:33:13 PM) Drew: SD: The Crimson fleet. They have visited my island very often, as of late.
(09:34:01 PM) Marty: "Would that island happen to be called Thornholt?"
(09:35:04 PM) Drew: SD: No, I speak of the Isle of Dread.
(09:35:46 PM) Drew: SD: Though I find their purpose questionable, they never fight me when I ask for my tole. They pay it respectfully, and I send them on their way.
(09:35:58 PM) Dai: Faina: "Visited the Isle of dread? do the crimson fleet not have a permanent base there but only stops by temporarily?"
(09:36:07 PM) Drew: SD: Perhaps my years have finally caught up with my mind.
(09:37:32 PM) Drew: SD: No, they come to visit a tribe of troglodytes, they make some exchange, and they leave.
(09:37:37 PM) Dai: Faina: "In what numbers do they come? I was informed that the Isle of Dread may be the source from which the Crimson Fleet obtains their pearls."
(09:38:07 PM) Marty: "What do you know of these troglodytes?"
(09:38:34 PM) Drew: SD: They send one ship, and they usually leave rather happily. They must be trading for something good.
(09:38:58 PM) Drew: SD: I know very little of them, and I do not care to. They smell too much.
(09:41:30 PM) Eric: "Ah, well, We'll take care of them, and alleviate you of their stench."
(09:41:56 PM) Drew: SD: You think I'm kidding? It smells like the death and feces in that cave. I refuse to speak with them on general principle.
(09:43:10 PM) Eric: "I think a creature as great as you would not waste their time lying to those such as us."
(09:43:23 PM) Me: To the party: "Bingo." To the dragon: "Where is this cave?"
(09:44:27 PM) Drew: The Sea Drake looks at Alexius for a moment.
(09:44:40 PM) Drew: SD: Did you just call me a liar?
(09:45:43 PM) Eric: looking baffled: "What? no. I just said you wouldn't lie to us. Why waste your time making up stories?"
(09:45:48 PM) Dai: Faina: "I think he took your 'I'm kidding' comment somewhat too seriously."
(09:46:01 PM) Drew: SD: Oh. No harm done.
(09:48:26 PM) Dai: Faina: "So do you know the precise location of this cave the pirates are so interested in?"
(09:49:20 PM) Drew: SD: Yes. You can't miss it.
(09:53:42 PM) Me: "Thank you, noble dragon."
(09:55:21 PM) Drew: SD: It is one west side of the Island. you shall know it by the smell.
(09:55:59 PM) Eric left the room.
(09:56:41 PM) Dai: Faina chuckles "Thank you, your guidance are of much help to us."
(09:56:49 PM) Drew: SD: One more thing.
(09:57:45 PM) Drew: SD: Consider my obsolete before such a fine ship.
(09:58:34 PM) Drew: With that, the Sea Drake gives you a wink, and disappears under the sea.
(09:59:02 PM) Me: Anton shrugs. "I guess he liked us."
(10:00:18 PM) Dai: Faina: "Apparently so, definitely a blessing for us, and at least we know he won't be siding with the Crimson Fleet."
(10:01:02 PM) Marty: "Agreed"
(10:01:36 PM) Drew: ((END TRANSMISSION))


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pron surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"'Tis not possible!", I muttered, "Give me back my free hardcore!
