Torch calls out spells to the captain - "Uh, Produce Flame, Druidcraft, Absorb Elements, Thunderwave, Entangle, Healing Word, Burning Hands and Cure Wounds... sir!
Then he turns to the nearest shipmates "You four, with me! We go up!" and Torch takes the steps to the bow two at a time.

Pilot your ship can move 35ft. Where do you position yourself on the ballemap

Acaelia is at the back of the ship with the mangonel. Can she hold the action until the strafe run is in such a position that she can actually shoot?Sep 10, 2022 3:00 pm

Yes of course. The downside about pbp is the asynchronicity, so you make your attack roll and add some flavour like"When we start to move this round, I will fire my mangonel."
Remember thy have a minimum range, so you can't fire them point blank

Acaelia looks nervously towards the front of the ship and the squidship in the distance. The mangonel loaded and ready to shoot it's big fat stone. Should squid ship get in sight, she'll immediatelly let it fly.
I don't know how modifiers work with this weapon. If it is regular Dex+Proficiency then it is +4. I doubt Acaelia is proficient.
("+2 whatever modifier" should read "+ whatever modifier" although if it's Dex only then it is +2 anyway :) )

Channeling my childhood basketball coach. Whenever we would miss shots, he would compliment parts of our form, and I always smile when I think about that. Since Johnny probably missed, I want to be the supportive coach here! *lol*Sep 12, 2022 6:00 pm
Torch readies the mangonel in the front, ready to fire as soon as their ship is in range.

Q moves the Hammerhead into a position to attempt to crash into the Squid Ship but then recalls their orders
.... salvage the captain’s logbook from the wreckage of an abandoned ship, then return to your starting point with your own ship intact ....
but, then the ship was already damaged and at least defeating the pirates and recovering the logbook would be something, wouldn't it?
"Captain, please clarify your orders - do you wish me to attempt to ram the Squid pirate vessel"

Cpt Frug, subject to the DMs confirmation I think we are 1d20+8 against AC 15 to do 16d10 damage with our ship taking 50% damage He says, "Q, your orders are to narrowly miss the enemy ship. Try to give us about 20-30 feet of space between us!
"Crew on the rear mangonel, as we pass the squid ship, pound them out, and then switch to ranged weapons and assault them.
"Anyone else with ranged weapons or spells, assault those monsters when you know that you can hit one!
"Number 2, use your entangle spell strategically to pin the enemy."
He realizes how nerve-wracking leadership is. Your orders can directly impact your crew's lives, for good or ill. He draws his bow, looking for one of the enemies to get within range, and will fire.
