Due to the sounds of the crossbows, you know have an idea where Bandit 4 and 5 are, however due to the night any attacks made against them will have disadvantage! (except Rhaucred)
Ah thank you kind Druid. Sometimes in the heat of battle I throw caution to the wind. (Tilts head in the direction of crossbow bolts). The darkness will not protect you cowards. The death god will guide my axe to your hearts (Hunding recklessly charges and strikes out at the nearest dark rider).
Ah comrades there is nothing like the rush of battle. Let us follow our friend bellowdecks and see how he has fared (Hunding heads toward the hatch and disappears into the bowels of the ship).
As Rhaucred moves over to peek down below, a loud voice comes from behind him saying "Out of my, I do not sneak." Hunding flips the door open and slides down to the next level. He is greeted to a well lit area with tables that has recently been eaten at. There is a man cleaning the far table of food, the man from up top earlier and Nedrick standing there talking the man cleaning the table. Hunding can hear Nedrick say "You know. I'm mighty hungry. How 'bout I take over your duty for cleaning this up and in return I'll grab me a bite to eat while I'm doin' it?"
Hunding looks at Nedrick, still chomping on a piece of meat he grabbed off the table.

In an attempt to distract the bandit at b4, mort moves in the shadows and channels his mystic power to create a screaming battle cry coming from a4
Ah thank you kind Druid. Sometimes in the heat of battle I throw caution to the wind. (Tilts head in the direction of crossbow bolts). The darkness will not protect you cowards. The death god will guide my axe to your hearts (Hunding recklessly charges and strikes out at the nearest dark rider).
Attack: 26 Damage: 11
I will aim at the other bandit in the darkness across the boat and fire an eldritch blast once more.
The green energy once again spills forth from his palms across the boat.
Attack: 19 Damage: 11
Hunding charges in and critically slices the dark rider through the darkness! He is defeated.
Mort makes a sound off the front of the boat, which distracts the dark rider while Rhaucred attacks blasts him with green energy. Killing him.
All the dark riders on the top of the boat are defeated! Combat is over. Everyone please award themselves 50 xp.
The dark riders loot contains: 3 scimitars and 3 light cross bows with a total of 30 bolts
Perhaps these barrels are an opportunity to fill our pockets.
mort approaches the set of barrels closest to him with hopeful curiosity.

Ah comrades there is nothing like the rush of battle. Let us follow our friend bellowdecks and see how he has fared (Hunding heads toward the hatch and disappears into the bowels of the ship).
The adrenaline of battle fading from her, TT again becomes overwhelmed by hunger.
*Rumble* *Grumble*
TT desperately searches for clues to the whereabouts of the storage room containing rations.
Investigation check: 8
Mort discovers that the barrels nearest him are full of some good wine. Not the nicest, but not the cheapest.
I'll grab ten of the crossbow bolts and move over to the hatch. And try to pry it open and see if I can see the interior.
"Hopefully our compatriot is still alright and won't mind us taking a little while to catch up."
