Round 7: Enemies
Battle Music
The merrow captain rights itself but when it lashes out at Valrakas, its golden cutlass swishes through nothing but water. The two lieautenants rush to their leader's aid. One thrusts its glowing, aquamarine trident at Valrakas and Zale. (
Trident misses Valrakas, but hits Zale takes: 5 piercing damage. Bite misses.) The other merrow hurls its harpoon at the raging minotaur. The weapon hits, but Valrakas is too strong for the merrow to reel in.
(Valrakas takes 5 piercing damage)
With its handlers occupied, the dragon turtle slows and turns its head curiously towards the melee in its wake.
Suddenly finding itself alone on the main deck against Ian and Kitty, Bait slashes at the saber-tooth with its cutlass and chomps at the First Mate before turning to dive over the port rail.
(Kitty takes 8 slashing damage. Ian takes 24 piercing. Do you use Uncanny Dodge to halve that, or take an OA against Bait? CON save vs. Lycanthropy: SUCCESS! Kitty's OA misses.)
Angered by the unexpected beating by the pegasus, Blackfin thwacks the winged steed with its tail, but Shine easily dances out of the way. The wereshark then stabs its rider with its wickedly barbed harpoon.
(No advantage on tail sweep. Miss. Harpoon hits. Nela takes 8 piercing damage, but stays mounted and maintains concentration.)
Eyepatch and Mako gang up on Grog. Eyepatch's net sails over the dwarf, but he gets tail-whipped behind the knees and bitten twice. The wolf-raised barbarian feels an inexplicable quickening in his blood accompanied by a briny taste in his mouth, and the roaring of ocean waves in his ears.
(Grog takes 4 bludgeoning damage, and 5+7 piercing damage. CON save vs. Lycanthropy FAILS! Inspiration reroll?)
Jack, Grog, Phillip, and Nela: It could be your imagination, but you think you just saw the dead Hammerhead's gigantic cutlass briefly melt into a puddle of quicksilver, reform into a rapier, then a greataxe, then a war-club, and back into a cutlass, all in the space of a couple of eye blinks.
