You are a Pirate

"Zunis, you know very well what I have been doing. It seems that since I gave the last rites to your captain and his loyal few, this crew has become quite reckless. Every day either you and I are dealing with multiple injuries, whether its a splinter the size of a finger thrust through someones foot or something like old Grist's accident two nights ago. It was clearly not his time to die, he should count himself blessed that Theren found him tangled in the rigging with no breath left." Pasquale clasps his left shoulder and rubs as if remembering an old injury "Theren's hand was truly guided by the gods that night." Refocusing on Zunis, Pasquale continues, "Besides, I know how to steer this beast and can tie a stoppers knot with one hand, I've been making myself useful whilst watching these souls on their mortal march."

For a fellow man of ze gods, you have very little faith.

"I would be insulted if I thought you knew what you say my friend. I have too much faith I fear, and duty to my faith is unwavering." Cupping his hands, Pasquale mimes as if he is holding the most delicate flower. "The cycle of life is precious, and my faith in it is absolute. My duty to see that the cycle it uninterrupted and uncorrupted is why I breath." He then brushes his hands, right then left, as he lets them part and drop to the table.

Perhaps I worded zat wrong. And, Maybe, Perhaps you zshould take life and death less seriously if you want to be seen as more zan a pretentious person. Zer are zings zat do not involve life and death. Zunis says, only about half sure if what he's saying sounds foolish or not. You are zshould stop talking about zem all ze time. It's confusing. Talk like a normal man so I can argue with you.

"This is all incredibly FASCINATING but if we wanted a philosophical debate we'd have joined a convent, not a pirate crew. Am I right, boys?" Roscoe jumps up onto a table. "So how about this flag, eh? I say we fly it, let 'em know we mean business!

I like you Zunis! Pasquale gives him a hearty slap on the back. You will have to enlighten me on the other things that do not involve life and death. Since I ran away from my home, how to live and when to die have been all consuming. Pasquale is taken aback when the halfling leaps upon the table, but appreciates that someone likes his sketch. With a murmur and a slashing swing of his hand, Pasquale casts spiritual weapon above Roscoe's head. A spectral scimitar makes a swinging attack in the air above him.

The crew seems pleased with the display of courage that comes with the flag, the combination of Pasqual's spell and Roscoe's words seeming to sway most of them to fly as free individuals. Andy slams his fists on the table quieting most of the cheers, he is very sweaty and yells out "Fools! We are a small ship, not designed for battle, if we declare ourselves independent then we will surely be an easy target if we pass by any large ships out 'ere! I can't believe I'm agreeing with the watah suckah over there, but if we find a fight, we will sink!" His words go unnoticed however, and the crew gather some scrap cloth and fashion a crude pirate flag. Shira seems to like the motivation the crew holds, and happily let's the flag change happen. A few cheers and shanties are sang with the rest of the days work, and everyone goes to their cots with hope or fear for the morning.

The next day, a storm pushes the Chianti closer towards the coast of an island. Seemingly from thin air, a large ship appears behind, it flys a black flag with no other markings. The crew aboard the mystery ship seem racing back and forth, readying the cannons. It is clear it means to engage the Chianti. Shira is a bold captain and calls all hands on deck, man the cannons, and to prepare the grapples. She knows the Chianti is outgunned, and feels like the only chance of victory would be to board the enemy. A few volleys are traded, and the Chianti is within 50 ft of the enemy ship. Grapples are loosed and many make their mark. The two ships are currently intertwined.
OOC:
Everyone can have one action of preparation as the grapples are thrown, and then roll for initiative!

Theren is going to board via the high road, crossing over at the mast supports. (If it's possible to get over that is)

Zunis ready's his hammer and casts Shield of Faith on himself as soon as the other boat comes near enough to cross over to.

Theren runs and jumps across, landing on the enemy ship's upper mast. Roscoe follows suit, swinging across and landing somewhere in the rigging, both of you need to make Dexterity Acrobatics rolls.

With Pasqual's casting of bless reaches Roche and Zunis, but There is too high up. Zunis' shield goes off, and he waits till the ships are closer.

Shira shouts out "Pull! Pull you scallywags!", her voice rings out across the deck of the ship as much of the crew scramble to a rope and heave together in an attempt to win this tug of war against the enemy frigate.

Others have also swing across to the enemy ship similar to Theren and Roche.

They are successful as the boat gets towed in, now only about 25ft away. Some crew members loose crossbow bolts, and the enemy returns fire.

Zunis, until the planks are drawn across the ships, gets to the most visible position he can on the edge of the ship. He raises his hammer and a thunderous sound comes from the skies as his form takes a towering appearance. With a voice of incredible volume, he yells SURRENDER!
OOC:
Thaumaturgy.

Theren is going to make his way down the rigging as far as he can.
OOC:
Assuming the acrobatics check works out.
(55ft but this may be difficult terrain so I'll do actions for both hitting the deck and still in the rigging)

Still I'm rigging: Theren would turn holding on back to the rigging seeing if there is anyone close by before throwing a dart towards them.
OOC:
Action: Throwing dart to whoever is closest.
Deck: Theren makes his way onto the deck drawing his sword as his feet touch the ground. He holds in position using his patient defense to anticipate the next attack. Also holding his attack for anyone who attacks him.
OOC:
Action: attack being held, trigger being attacked.
Bonus: Spending Ki to use dodge action. (Disadvantage to attack Theren.)

Pasquale has his crossbow at the ready, on one knee with his shield by his side. (So no shield at all he moment)

OOC:
How do you want to run this? Everyone declaring their actions and making rolls all at once and you sort the order? Or wait our turns?...

Theren manages to land amongst the masts, and slide down to the deck of the ship without much trouble, however as soon as he lands on deck, he immediately is attacked by the mob of dirty pirates surrounding him. He manages to duck a hammer swing, Dodge out of the way of a thrown javelin, but gets sliced by a charging cutlass, unfortunately for the charging pirate Theren stabs deep with his shortsword, letting the corpse to continue past and sprawl against the deck.
OOC:
Theren takes 8 slashing damage.
Zunis bellows out in an attempt to end the conflict peacefully, however, even with magic enhancing his voice the sound of grunting pirates, clashing swords, and other battlecrys his voice goes mostly unheard, blending in with the background chaos.

Roscoe manages to easily swing from the ship, becoming a miniature Tarzan as he hopes to another rope, slices it loose, and swings down through the enemy deck, lashing out at the chaotic movements. As he moves into the enemy crew, he is also attacked by the mob, but he jumps off an enemy, simultaneously slicing the poor girl's neck and launching Roscoe out of the way of a reaching mace. Roscoe heads towards another poor soul, pulling a similar maneuver, to launch off, correcting his swinging course while leaving death in his wake.

The enemy ship is a menagerie of races and peoples, some hanging from the rigging, some racing up from below deck, and others popping off spells. There seems to be an aura of still quite from one member on this enemy ship, as he bellows out a stringent command, "Cut those hooks!"
as he says this, he slices a taught rope with his large cutlass, resulting in a group of friendly pulling crew members next to Zunis flying backwards on top of each other. He continues to move forward seeming to disappear into the battle. Other enemy crew members hear his call and attempt to follow suit, racing to nearby hooks. Only one more rope snaps from the sharp bite of an enemy blade. Others grab some loose rigging themselves and swing over to the Chianti, brandishing their swords as they​ cross the open water.

Pasquale lets fly a crossbow bolt at the enemy making the commands and then swaps to hammer and shield to repel the boarding enemies. As he moves to block the nearest boarding marauder, Pasquale casts Spiritual Weapon onto the other deck. A ghostly sword, clasped by a skeletal arm, arcs across the deck like a reapers scythe.
