Chapter 4: The Light of the Undying

Mar 14, 2020 6:17 am

Having downed enough booze to really get his juices flowing, Zale lurches forward, a drunken windmill of punches and kicks. Superior Starfish Technique.

Battle music!

Ian shakes off the terror, but is still undecided what to do next.

Philip also shakes off the heebie-jeebies, and prepares his cannon for firing with Sally and Charlie's help.

Alecor weaves a wall of pure light that reduces a good number of skeletons to charred piles of bone dust! (21 radiant)

Zale drunkenly pummels the remaining skeletons into oblivion! (46 bludgeoning)

Dead Jim's ship keeps coming, and its gruesome crew is preparing to fire its mangonels again!

Battle music!

The crew are so terrified of the undead ship, Valrakas' bellowing and cursing isn't helping. Ian's voice rings out across the deck, clear as a bell, just enough to keep the lads steady. (Take Aim action. As per latest rule change, Ian's CHA modifier will be added to next cannonade's attack roll.)

Nela shifts her focus, and brings another 20-foot wave crashing onto the skeleton ship's deck, but the skeletons stand fast!

The blast from Pelner's monkey slams into one of the mangonels, sending bone chips flying. (10 force damage) These hulking weapons look like they can take a whole lot more damage and still keep up their bombardment. The artillerist's fire bolt misses the mangonel by a hair, but incinerates one of the skeletal firing crew.

A pair of huge, 16-foot tall skeletons are mounting the mangonels now, mixed in with their smaller mates. They're launching any moment!

OOC:

Still to act: Grog, Kitty, and Jhiros.

Re: Chapter 4: The Light of the Undying

Battle music!

Jhiros' hailstorm hammers the skelly crew! (16 bludgeon, 12 cold) The giants are surprisingly nimble, able to dodge most of the hail, and somehow able to shrug off most of the damage! (Evasion & Magic Resistance)

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/03/7e/32/037e3245e231c025704ba2f5530cd532.gif

The Sea Witch fires another frantic cannonade as she runs before the wind. (45 ft northwest. All cannons miss)

As the Witch's stern clears the Kestrel's bow, Leatha shouts a warning, her voice steady amidst her panicked crew, "Watch it fur th' harpoons! Bewaur th' bone harpoons!"

True enough, as the undead vessel bears down on you (100 feet west), two ballistae loaded with bone harpoons can be seen aimed right at you! But you've got more pressing problems right now, as the mangonels hurl the remnants of three skeleton squads, including the two giants, across the water to clatter onto the Kestrel's deck, just as your starboard cannons fire, raining destruction on Dead Jim's ship!

The bone squads tear into the crew, missing Jhiros but wounding Zale (8 slashing) and Ian (9 slashing).

The towering giant skeletons stride across the deck, armed with huge cutlasses. The one missing a lower jawbone swipes once at Nela (12 slashing), and twice at Grog (15+16 slashing). The other giant only has one arm, but cuts deep into Phillip (1 hit: 17 slashing) and Alecor (18 slashing). The giants don't seem to care about getting scorched standing in Alecor's wall of light. (13 radiant)

From his position at the helm, deftly maneuvering the Kestrel to protect the Sea Witch (30° turn, 35 ft north), Valrakas roars, bolstering the crew, "Get them bloody undead filth off me fucken ship!"

OOC:

• Alecor & Nela, roll Concentration checks.
• Kestrel crew ends Frightened condition.
• PCs are up.
