Such wonderful dreams she had been having! Unicorns and rainbows, ice cream mountains, cute little chocolate rabbits, and a river of milk for rocks made of delicious chocolate chip cookies! She could have slept forever. It felt like forever. Where was she again? Why does it sound like fighting? Was the gummy bear kingdom and sour worms at war again? Wait, no, ow, she was getting hurt! Hurt by what? Huh? Was that Truk? Why is he fighting? What was going on?

Despite her body not wanting to move, Era manages to force her eyes open, her vision blurry and taking its time to figure out what the hell was going on. It took a few seconds for everything to click once again, but once it did, she groggily moved her arms to prop herself up and take a good look at her surroundings, first looking up at Truk, then to the people who she thought were nice. Stop trusting everyone you meet.

Truk, being caught in the explosion takes 16 damage and falling through the floor in a hail of shattered wood does all he can to avoid pieces of the ship falling around him. Acrobatics: 13
He manages to miss the large chunks but get hit with wooden shrapnel on the way down suffering 1 damage as most of the shrapnel can't find purchase in his toughened skin.
Giving a quick glance around to take in his surrounding he see Era stirring at his feet. Getting up he leaves one axe on the floor, draws his shield and put's himself between Alderlock and Era. Yelling out "When your captain dies you can all die with him or stop fighting now and keep the ship!"
Intimidation: 11
He then attacks the captain while prone with his axe: Attack: 23 Damage: 12
When the Goliath shouts.. perhaps it was due to the fact they were lying down, and a giant man, was standing there, spittle flying as his muscles and veins bulged, axe in hand making his the epitome of fury, or perhaps it was something else all-together, regardless, everyone except the Captain himself, and the mage drop their weapons, beginning to retreat, clearly shaken. In a cage nearby, Truk would hear the wretched sobbing of a female child, though the voice was unique... similar to Gustav's but much younger, as she cowers in the opposite side of the cage, trying to make herself as small as possible, hoping the raging Goliath doesn't notice her. If he looked her way, all he'd see of her would be two golden, glowing discs where her eyes were.
19, 16,15, 3, and 1 run as far as they can while prone towards the corner of the ship, farthest away from Truk as possible.
13, 14, 9 run to the door, 14 just making it inside the door, while the rest gather round the exit, trapping Gustav, as they all filter inside as fast as they can. The rest of the entourage following close behind, 17, embarrassed and angry at what had happened to him, joins the throng. As 14 enters, he starts roving around his body tauntingly as he Dodgees about.
4,5 take their crossbows, having not heard Truks threat, and take aim below, both shooting at him as the greater threat and not noticing the Genasi had shaken off her paralysis.
Attack: 13 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Attack: 9 Damage: 8
Perhaps it was the angle, or the slight darkness, but both attacks thud heavily below, one ricocheting of a cage the cowering female was in, scaring her, causing her to scream a pitiful wail of terror. She was shaking so much by this point, it was audible within 20 feet.
The captain lunges forward with a hearty battlecry, his attack aiming for the hilt of Truk's blade, attempting to disarm him in a disarming strike (disadvantage due to call out of specific body part)
Attack: 11 Damage: 9
but Truks grip is just to strong, so strong in fact, Truk hardly notices the captains attempt. Alderlock uses his bonus action to DodgeHaha! Comere ye lilly livered son of genderless Kou-Toa! Yer mother we're a whore, and yer daddy a sex slave!
The Mage, partially charred from his own attack, raises his hand, preparing another spell as he moves far away, this time casting Storm Sphere centered on Truk's location, this also swallows Alerdlock within it's bowels.

Lightning coils all around Truk's body, engulfing the area in a flash of arcane light.

Truk gets a huge grin on face at seeing the others flee and leave their beloved Captain to face my wrath. Then the grin changes into more of a snarl as he lets out a growl, throwing his arms wide, not dissimilar to a bear on his hind legs as he shakes off the effects of the mages attack.
Truk has now hit his limit with these jaded small minded folks and goes Reckless and Extra Attack on Alderlock. (assuming my advantage cancels the dodge disadvantage)
He fist retaliates against the captains pathetic attempt to disarm him.
Attack: 14 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Then slams into him with his reckless two attacks:
9 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
16 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Snarling out "You're pet mage can't save you! You've lost your crew, your boat and soon your life!"
When the crack of lightning resulted in utter mayhem and destruction, Gustav never flinched, but an ear stayed keyed as much as possible on the action below. He only had eyes for the men before him. His lips pull back into a malicious smile as he licked his lips hungrily, took a breathe, and then began to rap a few short lines.
You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't afford And you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yours And you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdraw Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n claw And you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kind And you don't want that recognition of "oh, there goes that guy" But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind."
With every line, his voice dug deeper into the psyche with echoes and terrible whispers. Each one a lash of a whip against the mind, threatening to break resolve, and force him to flee through his fellows. Perhaps even at the price of knocking a few down in the process, if not right into a sword of a friend. In the chaos of the man fleeing away, Gustav uses that moment to disappear from view. When in truth he hid off to a corner of the room to try and confuse them at least for a few seconds. If the room is large enough, he is in the corner portion of the ceiling, claws dug in to keep him place.
But if the man stays his ground, Gustav stands his ground closer to the door with Rosebud in hand and says, "Honestly. So many for one old cat? I'm flattered. Can't say the same for your captain soon."
Action: Gustav Casts Sinister Rap at 1st level, inflicting 14 psychic damage at 14. Target must immediately use reaction to move away at full movement from Gustav. DC 14 Wisdom save for half damage, and target can choose instead to move away.

Truk's yelling surely did send a shock throughout the genasi's body (even though he didn't mean to, to her, anyways), Era hopping up to her feet just after seeing mage start smiling. She balls up her hands into fists as she grimaces in disgust at him, this being the first time the druid had shown any other emotion other than happy and excited. Now she was angry. Her hands start glowing a faint white, tattoos that weren't there before start etching themselves into the blue of her skin and her eyes flared white just as a white translucent bear spawned right beside her (I5).
Spirit Totem
As a bonus action, you can magically summon a spirit to a point you can see within 60 ft. that lasts for 1 minute (or until you're incapacitated). The spirit creates an aura in a 30-ft. radius around that point and can be moved up to 60 ft. as a bonus action.
Bear Spirit. The bear spirit grants you and your allies its might and endurance. Each creature of your choice in the aura when the spirit appears gains temporary hit points equal to 5 + your druid level. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws while in the aura.
"I need some help," Era says as she extends her arm out and casts Conjure Animals, eight pools of, what seemed to be, magic, had gathered around her and Truk, slowly shifting and forming into that of snarling wolves.
Wolves group initiative: 11
"Get that smiling *****."
((In case i get busy i'll already roll attack for the puppers lol, i hope im doing this right))
Pack Tactics. The wolf has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the wolf's allies is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the mage dies at all, before the final dogs attack, the puppers will attack anyone else near Era and Truk.

Burgee looks up to see Era in a fight. He needs to help, but is still struggling to free himself. "Hold on Era, I am coming!" he shouts to his friend. He needs to shed his manacles. If I could just break free of these, he thinks; knowing that he could shield his friend if nothing else.
OOC - Did the explosion free the slaves/prisoners?
(I was really tired and didn't have the patience to figure out my post from last night) It looks like it did actually roll the 2 other attacks so they would have missed. I don't really trust anything in there after the save but the counter attack would have hit so here's the damage on that: 7
If you want me to do it all over just let me know. Sorry about that. The only thing I did that I can think that would have bugged it out is that I inserted the perception above the save after popping the save roll so I could see where I was at.
The other d20 rolls for advantage on reckless attack: (explained in discord. sorry the post is so messed up)
As Truk roared at the captain about 'pet mage' the mage smiled more, as it seemed the Barbarian and the Genasi had no idea why he was smiling. The Sphere raged wildly, making hearing much more difficult.
The helmsman took aim once more, but just as he was about to fire at the barbarian again, he noticed the Genasi had woke up, and apparently was a high level caster... those wolves were a greater threat overall than a single barbarian as it made the remaining crew with 'balls' would be easily outnumbered. His crossbow firing at Era attempting to bring her down. Attack: 23 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. the wind of the storm sphere however apparently knocking the bolt off course, and it flies past Era's face, clanking into the side of the ship solidly, the bolt having flown directly in front of her eyes.
The captain shouts a rallying cry, and a threat Ye scallywag cowards, git on yer feet n attack this whorson. They have the deal with me! not any o' ye! you will receive no pay if yer cap'n falls here! (intimidation roll: 10) they squirmed visibly, but the barbarian had cowed them just a bit more effectively, so they stayed rooted in place.
The mage, focused his concentration to hold the storm sphere to maintain it, as his fingers sworled in arcane motions, lightning surging around his form, electricity arcing between two if his fingers like a railgun, before using his last level 6 spellslot, casting Chain Lightning at Truk.. afterall, he still had to kill the passengers first....(Dex Save DC 13 or take 56) two of the next arcs jumping from Truk to two of Era's wolves, followed by the final bolt heading for Era herself. then, his hand closes shut, and another arc of lighting roils out, striking one of Era's wolves for 12
Above decks, 4 and 5 ready their crossbows, but they can't see Era or her wolves as they are in the shadow cast by the hole, both taking aim at Truk.
Attack: 19 Damage: 9
Attack: 14 Damage: 4
the first thudding into the ground thanks to the storm spheres wind, the other however piercing the bulging chunk of flesh where the neck and shoulder meet, piercing it halfway through and sticking.
Alderlock himself roared in pain as the axe cut deep, though it seemed Alderlock was only halfway down. Alderlock shifted stances, he could tell this fight truly was going to be more than he had expected. He Readyied to Dodge, his blades up in a defensive posture. Come at me ye wee child, Oive got more experience in me pinky than you have in your entire, oversize body! (disadvantage on all attack rolls)
Above decks, with Gustav, 14 bursts in, only to hear the cat rapping like he was born in west Philadelphia.. As the cat continues, he hears a clawing in the back of his mind (10) but he shouts Git out o' me 'ead you slag! taking 7 damage, but charging forward, since Gustav wouldn't have a chance to 'hide' fro man enemy that never stopped seeing him.
He dives forward with a rapier, attempting to stab Gustav for Attack: 23 Damage: 7 and just as he does, the rest of the group piles into the room while Gustav moves closer to the door.
The wolves literally dogpile on the mage while he's preparing his next spell after the Chain Lightning, forcing him to make 8 concentration saves, DC 10
11 - 15 - 15 - 8 - 14 - 2 - 13 - 12
One of the wolves biting the mages crotch so hard, he loses his concentration, and the storm sphere dissipates..
The closest pirates to Gustav all also stab at him with their rapiers (7, 6, 9)
Attack: 8 Damage: 6
Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Attack: 9 Damage: 5
the others (10, 12, 14, 13, 17) all shoot their crossbows at him since there isn't enough room for them to get close
Attack: 19 Damage: 2
Attack: 17 Damage: 2
Attack: 19 Damage: 3
((OOC - I did screw up on the order a bit here, and I dont think i did exactly what Gustav asked, but forgive me, I'm managign a bunch of NPC's and tryign to figure out a better way to handle a 'large grou' and I have some ideas but i can't use them for 'this' encounter :x)

Era dex save: 23
Three doggo's go down, making Era an angry, slightly charred, genasi. She furrows her brows, and before sending her puppers to attack again she goes about and casts Cure Wounds (4th level) on herself to bring her back from getting closer to knock on deaths door. Healing for 23. With that done she extends her arm again and points to the caster.
"Rip him apart."
Doggy attacks on the mage in spoiler below.
Bonus action: Spirit bear moves to H7 to give Burgee advantage on strength saving throws and checks, along with giving him an additional 13 temp HP.
"Break out of those chains, Burgee! I believe in you!" She yells at him with upmost confidence!

Gustav as 14 decided to rush past to get in a better position, rosebud catches him in the the side. After he grimaces as multiple strikes landed home in his side, across his arms, and even his thigh. A crossbow bolt that came dangerously close to nicking his eye, only to shave painfully against the side of his face. 'These are no whippersnappers. What sort of terrors of the sea have they faced to be this good' He thought with a grim smile playing at the corner of his lips.
"Are you with me now Said are you with me now Ain't felt this good in a while They want us to simmer down Can you hear me now? Am I going in and out? I stop and just look around To see if you're with me now Tell me are you with me now Ready to put it down."
As the words left his mouth, wounds began to mend bit by bit. It wasn't enough to call him hail by any stretch of the imagination. He never lowers his guard for a second. The first had been enough to start the process. But in the brief shock of seeing the blood begin to cease falling he stabs out at 7 as abruptly as a lightning strike, coming close to puncturing a lung. "If I recall correctly, I don't need that many of you alive to help pilot the ship after all is said done. Isn't that nice?"He gives a bloody smile at the men.
1st Counter Attack: 20 Damage: 12.
2nd Counter Attack: 10 Damage: 8.

Gustav stabs at 6, dealing a wrenching blow, shaving the sailors HP in half or more in a single strike, blood begins pouring from his abdomen as he clenches his teeth You bloody 'ouse cat! I'll use your pelt for a rug! somehow Gustav thinks he's heard that particular phrasing before....
Just as Truks axe sinks it's way deep into the captains hip, due to his crit, the captain's ability to walk has been severely hampered. He can only move 15 feet on a turn, and his armor class is reduced by two (making it 13 now) and he will suffer on any checks that involve the use of hip movement. Yegh... is all he's able to make out as pain grips his form. Just as he begins to recover somewhat, the remaining three wolves double-back, and pounce at the captain tearing into his legs, bringing Alderlock to his knee's. At this point, Alderlock's entire body is shaking, his vision is blurry, and he throws his weapons aside, dropping his hands to the floor and assumes a position of prostration, his head to the floor Call them off me! I give up! I surrender! Spare me life and I can 'elp ye... the other side won't be friendly to ye based on 'ow ye've acted with us.. they'll do the same for similar reasons.... I hope you can catch me meaning.... 23 Persuasion.
Around him, the others who had been cowering looked on, with a mix of fear, and curiosity at what was developing before them. The helmsman raised his hand, and everyone's crossbows were raised. The two upstairs did the same, looks of confusion crossing their faces, as they too 'lowered' their crossbows. Waiting to see what the party would do.
in the other room, on the far side of the ship, unaware of the captains surrender, 6 dives at Gustav, attempting to grapple him with the help of 9 (grapple vs Atlhetic/Acrobatics: 19
Such wonderful dreams she had been having! Unicorns and rainbows, ice cream mountains, cute little chocolate rabbits, and a river of milk for rocks made of delicious chocolate chip cookies!

Burgee looks up to see Era in a fight. He needs to help, but is still struggling to free himself. "Hold on Era, I am coming!" he shouts to his friend. He needs to shed his manacles. If I could just break free of these, he thinks; knowing that he could shield his friend if nothing else.

(I was really tired and didn't have the patience to figure out my post from last night) It looks like it did actually roll the 2 other attacks so they would have missed. I don't really trust anything in there after the save but the counter attack would have hit so here's the damage on that: 7
If you want me to do it all over just let me know. Sorry about that. The only thing I did that I can think that would have bugged it out is that I inserted the perception above the save after popping the save roll so I could see where I was at.
The other d20 rolls for advantage on reckless attack: (explained in discord. sorry the post is so messed up)
Attack: 17 Damage: 13
Attack: 21 Damage: 11

As Truk roared at the captain about 'pet mage' the mage smiled more, as it seemed the Barbarian and the Genasi had no idea why he was smiling. The Sphere raged wildly, making hearing much more difficult.
The helmsman took aim once more, but just as he was about to fire at the barbarian again, he noticed the Genasi had woke up, and apparently was a high level caster... those wolves were a greater threat overall than a single barbarian as it made the remaining crew with 'balls' would be easily outnumbered. His crossbow firing at Era attempting to bring her down. Attack: 23 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. the wind of the storm sphere however apparently knocking the bolt off course, and it flies past Era's face, clanking into the side of the ship solidly, the bolt having flown directly in front of her eyes.
The captain shouts a rallying cry, and a threat Ye scallywag cowards, git on yer feet n attack this whorson. They have the deal with me! not any o' ye! you will receive no pay if yer cap'n falls here! (intimidation roll: 10) they squirmed visibly, but the barbarian had cowed them just a bit more effectively, so they stayed rooted in place.
The mage, focused his concentration to hold the storm sphere to maintain it, as his fingers sworled in arcane motions, lightning surging around his form, electricity arcing between two if his fingers like a railgun, before using his last level 6 spellslot, casting Chain Lightning at Truk.. afterall, he still had to kill the passengers first....(Dex Save DC 13 or take 56) two of the next arcs jumping from Truk to two of Era's wolves, followed by the final bolt heading for Era herself. then, his hand closes shut, and another arc of lighting roils out, striking one of Era's wolves for 12
Above decks, 4 and 5 ready their crossbows, but they can't see Era or her wolves as they are in the shadow cast by the hole, both taking aim at Truk.
Attack: 19 Damage: 9
Attack: 14 Damage: 4
the first thudding into the ground thanks to the storm spheres wind, the other however piercing the bulging chunk of flesh where the neck and shoulder meet, piercing it halfway through and sticking.
Alderlock himself roared in pain as the axe cut deep, though it seemed Alderlock was only halfway down. Alderlock shifted stances, he could tell this fight truly was going to be more than he had expected. He Readyied to Dodge, his blades up in a defensive posture. Come at me ye wee child, Oive got more experience in me pinky than you have in your entire, oversize body! (disadvantage on all attack rolls)
Above decks, with Gustav, 14 bursts in, only to hear the cat rapping like he was born in west Philadelphia.. As the cat continues, he hears a clawing in the back of his mind (10) but he shouts Git out o' me 'ead you slag! taking 7 damage, but charging forward, since Gustav wouldn't have a chance to 'hide' fro man enemy that never stopped seeing him.
He dives forward with a rapier, attempting to stab Gustav for Attack: 23 Damage: 7 and just as he does, the rest of the group piles into the room while Gustav moves closer to the door.
The wolves literally dogpile on the mage while he's preparing his next spell after the Chain Lightning, forcing him to make 8 concentration saves, DC 10
11 - 15 - 15 - 8 - 14 - 2 - 13 - 12
One of the wolves biting the mages crotch so hard, he loses his concentration, and the storm sphere dissipates..
The closest pirates to Gustav all also stab at him with their rapiers (7, 6, 9)
Attack: 8 Damage: 6
Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Attack: 9 Damage: 5
the others (10, 12, 14, 13, 17) all shoot their crossbows at him since there isn't enough room for them to get close
Attack: 19 Damage: 2
Attack: 17 Damage: 2
Attack: 19 Damage: 3

Era dex save: 23
Three doggo's go down, making Era an angry, slightly charred, genasi. She furrows her brows, and before sending her puppers to attack again she goes about and casts Cure Wounds (4th level) on herself to bring her back from getting closer to knock on deaths door. Healing for 23. With that done she extends her arm again and points to the caster.
"Rip him apart."

Gustav as 14 decided to rush past to get in a better position, rosebud catches him in the the side. After he grimaces as multiple strikes landed home in his side, across his arms, and even his thigh. A crossbow bolt that came dangerously close to nicking his eye, only to shave painfully against the side of his face. 'These are no whippersnappers. What sort of terrors of the sea have they faced to be this good' He thought with a grim smile playing at the corner of his lips.
"Are you with me now
Said are you with me now
Ain't felt this good in a while
They want us to simmer down
Can you hear me now?
Am I going in and out?
I stop and just look around
To see if you're with me now
Tell me are you with me now
Ready to put it down."
As the words left his mouth, wounds began to mend bit by bit. It wasn't enough to call him hail by any stretch of the imagination. He never lowers his guard for a second. The first had been enough to start the process. But in the brief shock of seeing the blood begin to cease falling he stabs out at 7 as abruptly as a lightning strike, coming close to puncturing a lung. "If I recall correctly, I don't need that many of you alive to help pilot the ship after all is said done. Isn't that nice?" He gives a bloody smile at the men.

Gustav stabs at 6, dealing a wrenching blow, shaving the sailors HP in half or more in a single strike, blood begins pouring from his abdomen as he clenches his teeth You bloody 'ouse cat! I'll use your pelt for a rug! somehow Gustav thinks he's heard that particular phrasing before....
Just as Truks axe sinks it's way deep into the captains hip, due to his crit, the captain's ability to walk has been severely hampered. He can only move 15 feet on a turn, and his armor class is reduced by two (making it 13 now) and he will suffer on any checks that involve the use of hip movement. Yegh... is all he's able to make out as pain grips his form. Just as he begins to recover somewhat, the remaining three wolves double-back, and pounce at the captain tearing into his legs, bringing Alderlock to his knee's. At this point, Alderlock's entire body is shaking, his vision is blurry, and he throws his weapons aside, dropping his hands to the floor and assumes a position of prostration, his head to the floor Call them off me! I give up! I surrender! Spare me life and I can 'elp ye... the other side won't be friendly to ye based on 'ow ye've acted with us.. they'll do the same for similar reasons.... I hope you can catch me meaning.... 23 Persuasion.
Around him, the others who had been cowering looked on, with a mix of fear, and curiosity at what was developing before them. The helmsman raised his hand, and everyone's crossbows were raised. The two upstairs did the same, looks of confusion crossing their faces, as they too 'lowered' their crossbows. Waiting to see what the party would do.
in the other room, on the far side of the ship, unaware of the captains surrender, 6 dives at Gustav, attempting to grapple him with the help of 9 (grapple vs Atlhetic/Acrobatics: 19
