"Let's keep you focused on me..." Satterson explains letting his blood drip freely mixing with the Kraken's on the artifact.

Llorenco fires his pistol at the crewmen on the other vessel, calling for the cannon to be reloaded with chainshot.OOC:
Are you calling for the chainshot to be fired at one of the tentacles?

At Llorenco's order the boom of the Tempest's guns fill the air, the Tentacle that had been harassing the vessel get's twisted and bound by the chains and starts thrashing about to free itself. The other tentacle comes crashing down onto the Southern Star lifting the mizzenmast clean from the ship as it does. Scanning the Southern Star Llorenco levels his pistol and fires, a notable scream is heard from up the the rigging and a sailor and long rifle tumble into the waves.
As Satterson cuts his palm to let his blood flow onto the artifact the Eisen, realising what he is planning, let's out a yell "NEIN!!!!" and lunges towards the object. Reflexively Satterson tries to grab at the artifact, both his and the Eisens hands grasp it at the same time as Sattersons vision goes dark.....
The rest of you glance accross and can see the Eisen and Satterson both clutching the artifact but otherwise being strangely immobile on the roiling deck.
Llorenco - 6 4 raises
Satterson - 5 4 raises
Bastien - 4 raises
Enemy Captain - 4 3 raises
Tentacle 2 - 4 3 raises (engaged with the Southern Star)
Tentacle 3 - 4 2 raises (engaged with the Tempest)

[ +- ] What Satterson Sees
Sight seems to take an age to return to you. You are no longer on the deck of the Southern Star, the land around you is slick with sea water and various strands of seaweed cling to strange rocks and barnacles cling to every surface. You glance up and can see three dark shapes highlighted against the mid blue sky as odd flashes appear around them....a second passes before realisation hits that you're looking up at the keel of three ships. Before you can think of anything else a sudden sharp pain erupts across your back, spinning around you see the figure of the Eisen, now with two arms, one hand clutching a cutlass that seems to be made of shadow and the other holding what appears to be half of the artifact. You realise you are clutching the other half of the artifact in your hand and as your thoughts turn to defending yourself a similar sword springs up in your other hand. "The beast is mine! Give me the artifact!" the Eisen snarls as he lunges forwards but your shadow-sword meets his in a rough parry.
The rest of you glance accross and can see the Eisen and Satterson both clutching the artifact but otherwise being strangely immobile on the roiling deck.

Can I spend one (or more) raises to swing in and knock the artifact away from the Eisen? Or snatch it up and bring it to the ship (stowing it away in Bastien's doctor's bag without touching the artifact)?Last edited September 26, 2018 12:36 pm

At the moment the artefact is held by both Satterson and the Eisen. You'll need to spend a raise for an action to get across to the Southern Star as Bastien is still on the Tempest and then 2 raises as another action to Improvise and kick it clear of both of them so for the moment it would just be the one raise for the movement

Bastien looks suspiciously at the artifact. It’s doing something... He grabs hold of a boarding rope, and swings himself over to the other ship, making his way toward the two immobile forms holding the artifact.
OOC:
I’m travelling, and not sure how much I can check in this week. Bastien will try to secure the artifact and/or help Satterson secure it, depending on what happens next. Feel free to prod him along in that direction.Last edited September 26, 2018 12:35 pm

"Easy there squirmy, this will all be over in a moment, then we have a nice bed for you aboard that ship o'er there."

"The sea doesn't like the impatient and the GREEDY" Christian bellows back holding onto the artifact in one hand with his newly found weapon in his other hand coming down toward the Eisen's arm clutching the object as well.

With a roar Llorenco dives forward, grabbing hold of the tentacle that was trying to throw the chains off so it could smash into the Tempest once again. As he grapples it the crew start to unload onto it with small arms fire and some of the smaller deck guns. Twitching and jerking about it flings Llorenco off as it attempts to slink back beneath the waves, although he tries to roll into it as he lands on the deck he strikes one of the ships masts as he lands, a worrying pop coming from his ribs.
Bastien takes advantage of the confusion to slip onto the Southern Star. Moving quickly he approaches Satterson and the Eisen, both of which are still grasping the artifact.
All NPC's are now out of Raises so it's up to you all to spend your remaining (reminder for the outstanding consequences below)

• Spend a Raise to not get knocked overboard as the Kraken tosses the ship around
• Spend a Raise to extinguish small fires threatening the safety of the Ship. These fires cause 3 hits to the Tempest, and crop back up from new sources at the beginning of each Round.

[ +- ] Sattersons POV
Satterson lunges forwards, the shadow sword lashing out at the Eisens 'new' arm. As it slashes through there is a flicker across the limb, almost as if it vanishes for a moment, before it reaffirms itself once more. Whilst there does not seem to be any lasting damage to the blow the Eissen still shouts in pain at the blow rakes across his 'arm'. Twisting his own sword about he lunges forwards, sword slamming into Sattersons torso as he hisses "If I have to pluck it from your corpse then so be it!"

Mostly attempting to make an opportunity to grab the stone away from the Eisen. Don't know if that'd be 1 or 2, I'll spend my last or next to last one to not be knocked off... to bad the captain doesn't have to deal with that.Oct 3, 2018 11:39 pm
Llorenco slides to a halt on the Tempests deck. He groans as he stands, croaking, "What do you want, written instructions? Put out those fires and keep fighting!" He runs (hobbles) back to the helm, cursing audibly as he reloads his pistol.
OOC:
Spending two raises: put out fires, and don't get chucked around so much.Oct 4, 2018 9:21 am
Landing awkwardly on the rolling deck, Bastien steadies himself on a the ship's side, grabbing a belay pin before rolling over to Satterson and Eisen. Raising the pin, he slams it down at the Eisen's iron grip, helping Satterson gain control over the artefact.
OOC:
Spending as many raises I need to help Satterson get the artifact, also holding one raise back to keep on the boat.

Llorenco - the crew run to follow your orders whilst you steady yourself on deck. In sort order they have most of the dangerous fires contained so as not to be a further risk to the vessel.
Bastien - studying the two figures, hands locked around the artifact, you can see a similar glow dancing about their eyes as is emitted from the artifact and neither of them react to your approach. Not wanting to risk being affected by the same energy you grab a belaying pin from the near railing and with careful study you bring the pin crashing down onto the Eisen's wrist at the exact point where the arm and hand meet. A slight flinch flickers across the Eisen's face but he doesn't relinquish his grip.
Satterson - As you rake your sword along the Eisens arm the blade does not seem to meet the same resistance you would expect from a normal sword but the effect seems to be the same as his hand confulses and the half of the artifact he is holding drops to the stony ground. He staggers back momentarilly but still seems to be locked in wherever this is.
Satterson is spending 1 to create an opportunity, 1 to use it, and 1 to not get thrown overboard.
Bastien is spending 1 to not get thrown overboard and 2 to smash the Eisens arm.
Assuming I've got that all right we're on a new round so approaches and whatever rolls you feel would be appropriate please peeps.
