Those defending the starboard side each take aim at the ropes. In simultaneous bursts of fire, Jandral and Golwen break through and send the fish-men falling back into the water. Rhodrick's rapier flashes out with deadly accuracy, cleanly separating the rope from its tether, causing the climbing fish-man to slip beneath the waves.
Parallel deftly thrusts out with his weapons, severing the ropes and sending their climbers into the ocean. The lone fish-man barely has time to reorient itself when Haesh's warhammer comes around and smacks it across the skull, sending spittle and scales flying into the rain. With a hiss, it pulls itself up and over the railing, only to be met with a second warhammer as Tordek whacks it in the abdomen.
OOC:
Tordek, I moved you to the port rail since you didn't specify. Hope you don't mind.
The fish-man looks rough, one eye closed where Haesh connected and its breathing labored from the dwarf's attack. In a fit of frenzy, it opens its mouth wide and tries to bite at the human while thrusting with its spear, but it cannot get past Haesh's shield (
9 vs AC, 8 vs AC).
Off the bow, two more fish-men climb over the rail, their grappling hooks unseen from where the party stood. They raise their weapons and move to attack some of the crew nearby. The four sailors take out clubs and daggers, but two prove to be no match for the fish-men's wicked weapons and become skewered upon their spears, falling lifelessly to the deck. Another sailor manages to strike at one attacker, glancing a blow off the scaly hide.
A large wave rises off the starboard side, and the Red Cutter lurches as it heaves-to to ride the wall of water.

Everyone must make an Acrobatics check vs DC 10 or fall prone!
