<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. I know your eager to use rings but range is a
issue. For this type of encounter closest range is 300 feet.
This is max range of longbows. If anything is beyond 300 then its
futile to hide or wait. Just have to wait to get closer. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>As he waits for
the approaching ship aft, Raddok considers using the ring only one time,
saving its 2nd use if a comrade is indeed a prisoner aboard the ship in
front of them, although he's much more familiar with his sword's use than
the power of the ring, which he's never used before.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Aft ship is falling way behind not
approaching. My fault I'll give a better word description of scene
below.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra yells, "I will attempt a rescue." She will put the mast
between herself and the aft ship, cast invisibility on herself at max EL
followed by Levitation at max EL and then Teleport to about 10' above the
deck of the aft ship. Staff at ready she will look for Arawn and attempt
a rescue if needed. She may cast Quarrels at max EL thru her staff to
distract the pirates just before she attempts the rescue via teleporting
Arawn back to the party's ship.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Ack.

Phase 3 - [Phase 196]]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Captain Dorhak ignores Raddok for the moment thinking about
his comments. The good dwarf doesn’t have any idea what to do about his
concerns, so begins to bark orders out on things he can do something
about.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Mournath! Veer away from the ship ahead. Let’s
not cut close to them, but make sure they can’t swim or grapple with
us." he is very satisfied with the result on that ship. That
little faerry is useful to have around after all, even with the
annoyingly silly jokes she plays. So far so good.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
But then Finn calls out his reading of the signal flag from
the ship aft. A prisoner? Dorhak looks around and counts
noses, knowing that Fremea is to the fore, and only one other person is
missing. Arawn!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak loudly exclaims a single syllable word that none were
taught by the magic language item. Then, in Marentian, he says.
"That can only be that freakishly tall elf! I gave orders that
he go forward, not aft! I’ll see him in chains for disobeying
orders! Now he's put everyone on this ship in danger. By
Dvallin I’ll see him in that cage we have below!" He is
obviously very, VERY angry.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Z'leyra! And the rest of you! Gather
up."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"My intent is to take what we can from the ship ahead,
if we think we can do so without much peril. I think we have some
time to figure that out. If we must, we sink the ship or burn it to
the water line. I also need options on what we can do about that
stupid elf. I’m strongly considering leaving him behind on general
principle."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok is relieved that Z'leyra has a spell to check the
outside hulls. When she reports finding nothing, he is even more relieved
& thanks her for the effort & starts back to midship at a brisk
clip, for the shelter of the lockers. He scans the sea forward and back
& sees fire erupting from the sails of both pirate vessels, and part
of the masted rigging falling on the one to the fore.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok feels a mix of both chagrin and relief that his
primary targets for his first try at magic (using his new ring) have
already been hit. As he reaches the partial shelter of the lockers, he
re-thinks his targets - perhaps aim toward mid-ship masts or where pirate
crew massed? He shudders a bit thinking of burning bodies. Then he hears
Finn's shout to the Captain about a prisoner on the ship to their fore,
and turns that way sharply. Where was Arawn?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok decides not to fire his ring at that ship - he can't
risk hurting a friend - he will focus on two prominent targets on the
fast-approaching ship aft - perhaps the steering wheel and midships?
Whatever will hurt most, he grimaces to himself, & he absently slides
his great sword slightly in & out of its sheath. He would fire the
ring twice just before the pirate ship reached them, when no further than
60 feet away - perhaps closer for good measure, and he practiced aiming
his hand while half-hidden. Then his sword would come into action.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok smiled grimly, ducking enough to protect himself from
archers. "Hmm," he thinks. "Archers would be good targets,
if the ring can reach them. But I need to hit the ship, too." He
watches it approach best as he can, hidden as he was amidship.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath veers off toward deep ocean.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Finn yells out again, “aft ship. Body being tossed
overboard.” Finn lowers the spyglass and shakes his head.
“Just a pirate it seems.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra yells, "I will attempt a rescue." She will
put the mast between herself and the aft ship, cast invisibility on
herself at max EL followed by Levitation at max EL and then Teleport to
about 10' above the deck of the aft ship. Staff at ready she will look
for Arawn and attempt a rescue if needed. She may cast Quarrels at max EL
thru her staff to distract the pirates just before she attempts the
rescue via teleporting Arawn back to the party's ship.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra teleports over the aft ship and tries to find
Arawn.

Kiet notices the fore ship turning?

<x-tab> </x-tab>[Turn 16:
Phase 1 - [Phase 177]]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea smiles and looks around at her work. Several
are dead including a officer or Captain, sails are destroyed and half
rigging is destroyed as a side benefit. Many have gone down stairs
to avoid the arrows. But sailors merge back on deck and others rush
out to deal with intruder.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Hovering above their heads, Fremea moves to the steering
wheel. The helmsman or just another pirate is at the wheel.
Fremea glances up and sees the Black Depth approach fast. She is no
sailor but even she knows these pirates to board a ship moving 2-3x this
ship is dangerous if not to pirate ship but to the pirates. Then
Fremea sees the Depths veer off. Why is Dorhak turning tail?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea shrugs and builds mana. She draws her dagger
and gently moves between the helmsman and the wheel a span of 3 feet
which she can do due to her body frame. She raises the dagger to
the pirates throat and taps him on the shoulder. She presses the dagger
to his neck to draw attention. Now that he can see her she shakes
her head and puts fingers to her mouth. The startled pirate looks
around but knows if she flinches he is dead. She can't understand
their tongue but body language does help. She points her fingers to
her eyes and then to his eyes. Then she casts a spell and
fascinates the pirate. To test she lowers the dagger and the man is
entranced.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea then uses body language to point to wheel then to him
and then toward the far east. The man turns and looks then turns
back. She then repeats this 3 times and finally the man
understands. He begins to turn the ship toward that direction.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Pirates begin to scream and bark orders at the
helmsman. But Fremea knows she must stall for time. As
pirates approach to stop the helmsman she uses her martial arts and kicks
them away, daggers a couple and pushes others away. Finally she stops as
the ship is on course.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Still invisible she casts a transmute spell onto the wheel
creating a stack of stinking dung. The mechanisms tied to keel
separate and keel control is lost. Happy Fremea soars to the crow's
nest.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She watches as the ship now without any control left rushes
toward shore. The natural waves of the ocean pushes the ship faster to a
beaching. Once in the nest she smiles and notices at least 25
or more or below. They are arguing and threatening the poor
helmsman. For Fremea she carries all of her gear around making her
life easier if she needs to flee. She reaches gently into the bag
and pulls the strange item out. She recently tested it and now its
time to use it.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She invokes the spell of several within. The spell
will touch a 50 foot area around her which is a big part of ship.
Suddenly hovering only 10 feet above the pirates turn on
themselves. The Quarrels spell takes action fast.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
After first 3 seconds 7 pirates are wounded and 1 is
dead. The next 3 seconds see 3 more die from heavy wounds.
Next few seconds see none wounded. Next 3 seconds see 2 more wounded and
3 more dead. Next few seconds see 1 more wounded and 3 die from
wounds. Then 2 more die in the next few seconds with 1 more wounded.
Finally after 32 seconds 1 more dies. In span of 32 seconds the
spell wounds 11 and kills 14 with a total of 60 fights among each
pirate.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
In span of a couple minutes Fremea has killed 6 with her
bow, her spell has killed 14 and the spell wounded another 14. Even
with this Fremea estimates half the crew is still alive.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Suddenly Fremea is lurched out of the nest and begins to
fall but recovers fast and flies back up. She realizes the ship has
run aground already about 25-30 feet from the beach. Those on deck are
thrown this way and that. The ship begins to groan and creek from
the pressure. She wonders if ship could sink if there is a hole
below decks.

Phase 2 - [Phase 210]]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Brutto yells to those around Dorhak and points. Everyone
squints and sees fore ship (B) rushing fast toward the shore. Then
those with good eyes suddenly notice a major melee on board. The 3
with spyglasses – Finn, Dorhak and Unali see the pirates fighting each
other. In seconds a dozen pirates fall. Then the ship lurches
and stops grounded right at the shore? But the party notice that
waves bat the aft of the pirate forcing it forward beyond possible
measure.

Phase 4 - [Phase 216]]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra looks down and spots maybe 3 dozen pirates moving
back and forth. But there is no sign of Arawn. Either he is
moved below or invisible. All pirates seem to look the same here as they
become anxious and point to Ship B. Z'leyra glances up and sees
Ship B beached?

Phase 4 - [Phase 216]]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Ship A in aft is now 1,620 feet behind and falling further
away. Ship B in front is only 394 feet away still out of any bow
range. Both pirate ships now unable to move at all. Player ship is
moving west but can move back around as needed.

Update...Saturday?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: A fun
update. Sadly ran out of time. Want to do more. What I
did was run Dorhak's speech and that time. Then I matched that
roughly 1 minute to Fremea's time. Now all are matched up with
correct time. I'll be busy Wednesday so best would be Tuesday but
too early. So will try next update Saturday. The combat I
short formed it for speed, time.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
In order to get better grasp of scene. Imagine top of
screen is North. Ship is going S/SE. There is a bend behind
ship to NE. All ships are around that bend. Ship A is N/NW
slightly of ship some 1600 feet away. Shore is 500-600 feet on
right side of screen or east. Ship B is SE of player ship
beached. Hope this helps?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: Arawn:
- A bit of a rest for ya for now. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea – Now what? Half crew still remains. Can
use item 1 more time today if needed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Z'leyra – By time teleported was at end of update so now
what? Don't forget use of other magic while levitated.
