Nela sends another wave crashing into the Strumpet.
OOC:
Let's see if it capsizes this time. Nope.

The Strumpet is currently unable to make any headway because of Nela's Control Water spell. The current distance from Kestrel to Strumpet is 100ft. The Kestrel can cover half that distance on its turn (in other words, the First Mate's turn)

Jack rips through the steps of loading the cannon again, loosing another foregun barrage as soon as he can, this time looking to eliminate some of the enemy firepower!

With a boom that echoes across the water, the cannonball flies...
OOC:
That's a hit! And we'll call that the Kestrel's turn, because I assume you'll want it to keep moving forward. The Strumpet is now only 45ft away

If you wish, you can still take your own actions apart from that, Jack.

are we in position to broadside yet?
Oct 24, 2019 1:21 pm
OOC:
Jack, you're still allowed your own actions apart from the cannon fire (which is technically the Kestrel's turn, not yours).

And everybody except Nela and Astrias have yet to act. Distance between ships is now only 45ft (Strumpet is ahead and to starboard). Baddies are easily within bow, javelin, and pistol range!
Oct 24, 2019 1:22 pm
OOC:
Not quite, Ian. Next round you will be. Unless the Strumpet somehow changes position.

Kitty on the deck and roars at the enemy ship now that it is closer. He was less than happy about waking up and nothing to do.

OOC:
When the scurvy dogs missed me with their hooks I would like to have spent my reaction for Redirect attack.
As the pirate hooks come slashing, Zale sways like a water fountain, and the scurvy dogs end up striking their mates instead! Then, the water genasi rains down blows on their heads.

"Whelm!" Zale commands the water elemental, which rides Nela's wave and splashes down on the deck to engulf as many of the scallywags as it can.

Jineer steers her duck to the Strumpet and begins her assault. She flies over and jumps on to the deck of the strumpet, as she lands any nearby shadows move and swallow her whole leaving no trace of her. Invisible Jineer will make her way below deck looking for where they keep their gunpowder.

Zale and his elemental wreak watery havoc on the pox-ridden picaroons! (Zale: 28 damage + 11 redirected. Elemental: 4 scallywags take 11 damage each.)

Ian head-shots a pirate from 15 yards away! (13 damage)

The flock of mighty ducks deposits Jineer on the Strumpet's rigging, then begin to circle the two ships. Vanishing from sight, Manybeards sneaks below deck in search of the gunpowder.

Pelner's turret blasts the enemy vessel's helm (9 force damage), but she ain't done for yet!

Amid the chaos on deck, some semblance of order seems to be taking shape. A hulking half-orc takes charge, screaming commands at the unruly crew.

"Reef th' sails! HARD A-STARBOARD! Then fire at will! See how they likes it! Scupper 'em EL'MENTALS!"

The Strumpet turns hard, risking capsizing as it lists crazily, then unleashes a broadside at the Kestrel (26 damage)! A battle cry goes up from the scallywags as they now seem to have a fighting chance. They come at Zale and his elemental again with cutlasses, hooks, boarding axes, pistols, anything that's handy! (Zale takes no hits. Z-Elemental is hit for 8 damage after DR)

Jineer quickly finds the powder magazine in the lower deck, just above the bilge, by following the "powder monkeys" shuttling back and forth with bags of powder to deliver to the gunners. The gunnery officer in charge of the operation is a red dragonborn (whose dumb idea was that?!) wearing drenched clothing to prevent spark in this all-too-incendiary environment.

"Shake a leg, lads! Step to it!" the dragonborn roars, as he shovels powder into the bags.
OOC:
A-Elemental is up. It could have ridden Nela's wave along with the other elemental if Astrias wants it to fight on deck, or it could have stayed in the water to continue pounding on the hull.

Awesome! Slam it is!
The elemental swings twice with its watery fists, and strikes Zubak, the haf-orc officer, once. (16 damage)

With a snarl, Zubak strikes his two axes together. The wicked weapons throw lightning sparks (7 lightning damage) as the half-orc slashes brutally at the "el'mental" (33 slashing damage)
OOC:
New round. Everyone is up. If the Kestrel turns 90-degrees to starboard, you can come alongside the Strumpet and fire a broadside. Hopefully helpful action summary here.

Jineer walks up to the Powder pile and claps her hands together quickly casting "Death Ward" on herself. As her invisibility wears off she stands over the powder with her tinderbox in hand. "Time to blow this popsicle stand." She strikes her Flint.
