City of Cresthall

DM Stuff:

 The other ship continues its course to your ship and you see five javelins soar in the air and hit the hull of your ship. You look at them and see chains upon the end of them. The chains are slack but as you try to inspect them further, you see the other ship is ramming into the yours.

(Everyone make a DEX save for avoiding being knocked prone.)

Hatt is down in the galley scrubbing pots, and has absolutely no warning of any impending danger when the impact hits.

Dex save:  8

Dexterity Saving Throw: 17

"Hmm... Suppose this not normal either, yes?" Karra quickly strings his bow and readies for battle.

Save: 6

Crispy was so occupied with laughing with Ashley, the next thing she knew, she was thrown back from an impact, and sprawled across the floor, hitting it with a loud thud.

Dex Save: 15

Bennett is standing next to Ominak watching the other ship closely. His eye catches the javelins and he drops to a crouch.

20 Perception to see if there is any flag or markings on the ship that I can see.

Dex Save: 6

Gasp was hanging a little over the side, as usual. His trip so far has been spent with his stomach doing somersaults! As the ship is rocked, he gives a loud, panicked squawk! 

Ashley is knocked back.  As she hits the floor her head is cushioned by a pair of armored yet soft pillows. They of course belong to Crispy. Owie! What was that?

(Only Hatt and Crispy are knocked down)

A few of the crew fall down as the two ships collide. The few of them scramble to the javelins, trying to pry them out  the ship. The chains on the end tighten as it pulls the two ships together. This ship bears a flag of a white shell and two axes behind it. The crew of that ship start to climb aboard yours, wielding scimitars and the like, they spread out on the deck, yelling "Search the ship! Anyone that fights back, kill'em!" The crew surrenders to the pirates, not trained to fight. Ominak rushes over to the cabin doors, putting himself in the way of the pirates' path. His claws hold an orb of magical energy as he snarls his teeth at them, "No one can pass here." He throws a flaming bolt at one of the pirates.

Attack: 17 Damage: 10

It hits one square in his chest and the flames quickly spread. In mere moments the man is engulfed in flames and burnt to a crisp as the fires die out. The other pirates are hesitant to try the dragonborn. More pirates file in from the other ship, some going down in the galley and brig, searching for something.

(2 pirates in the brig, 2 in the galley, and 4 up top on deck. 3 out of the 4 are surrounding Ominak, the other one is keeping an eye on the surrendered crew and heading to Bennett. Roll for Initiative.)

(Any chance of a retaliation shot while the ships are at a distance from one another? Gotta use a ranged weapon while you can, after all ;-) )

Seeing this, Gasp joins Ominak in his assault on the pirates! He alights his flaming sword and clicks his boots! He soars into the air and dives at one of the pirates that has captured the crew!

 Initiative: 4

((Just saw the edit to roll initiative. Can I get off the Boots to fly before we go into it?))

Not that Ashley was heavy, but the impact made Crispy grunt as she landed on her funbags and stomach. She looked her over to make sure she was ok, and helped her up. “Hells, I hope it’s the pizza delivery.” she joked, then said, “Come on, lets find the others. Stay close.” She saw Gasp, the poor thing. He looked sick. “Gasp! We need to get the others!”

Initiative: 16

Hatt crashes into the side of the galley, sending battered metal bowls flying in all directions as he bounces off the wall and onto the floor.   He hears the ship's cook grunt in surprise behind him.  Moments later, the door to the tiny galley space swings open and two armed individuals - certainly not sailors of the ship - are standing in the doorway.

"Get the others!" he calls back Just before he throws up over the side one last time. Gasp then begins to lift off the deck of the ship.

 (Go ahead, they weren't expecting resistance from anyone so surprise round. I'll roll for their initiative after.)

(We all get the surprise round?)

(Initiative: 10)

Bennett smirks at the pirate charging him.

Action: Cast Eldritch Blast on the one charging Bennett. 14 with 10 damage

((If we each get to take part in this surprise round, can my original attack stand?))

Oh snap, we’re already boarded. Gasp, nevermind, attack away. “Ash! Back to back.” she calls out, protecting each other’s flanks.

”Yoo hoooo!” she yells, “Who wants to get beat up by me todaaayyyy?! Looking for volunteers!!!” 

Initiative: 14

Nat20 ohhhhhh yyeeeehhhhhhhhh...do we get the surprise attack?

Ashley will cast Bless on Gasp, Crispy and herself as they enter battle.

 Init. 6

And the universe balances itself out.
