At 600’ I think Raph will fire the bow cannon again now it’s in range of a cannon ball. He flicks a flint and carefully lights the fuse before aiming the tradectory with his tounge out the side of his beak;

Attack: 7 Damage: 52

Raphael fires and the ball splashes far to the starboard side.

(Ban, Grol, Armyl) 

Would either of you like to help Armyl push the cannon to another place on the ship? The other can then fire.

If anyone wishes to find out more about the ships propulsion then you may roll insight

Going to the assistance of Armyl, Ban helps lug the cannon into position. With a huff, "Let em have it!" 

Ooc: Ban will take the Help action to assist Armyl in setting up and firing the cannon. 

Ban, you assist Armyl move the cannon. I assume you will move it to the bow? If so it may be fired by Grol this round. A few crew members converge and load it up with powder and a cannonball so it's ready to fire.

Same damage, it's just slightly smaller so its AC and HP are lower

(Grol) remains.

Unable to resist the opportunity to fire the cannon, Grol runs back to the cannon from the rudder.  Watching intently at the rise and fall of the ships, the splashing of the water as their bows crash into the ocean. Grol holds his breath and lights the fuse.... and sneezes.

ToHit: 18  Damage: 37

Grol as you fire the cannon and sneeze, the cannon slightly turns as the blast rattles the deck. The sailor assisting with loading rolls out of the way to avoid his foot being crushed by the cannon. There is a splash well off in the open ocean, far away from the pirate ship. The gulls perched on the Crow's Nest come back and sit on the railing after briefly being spooked by the cannon impact. The sound of hammering and yelling down below continues.

Pirates are up

They continue advancing at an unnaturally fast speed and are now 400ft away. The surf created from the speed of their ship makes its way to the Truth's Tenacity as it bobs and sways more and more. You all can make out 2 figures with their arms raised to the sails and their flag appears to be black with a strange symbol in the center.

You see a flash of smoke and hear the cannon blast as the projectile propels to your ship. The smoke trail appears to be headed directly for you.

Attack: 20 Damage: 31

 Quint yells "Take cover!"

The shot explodes directly on the main deck as innumerable splinters and pieces of shrapnel sprays the deck near the bow. Everyone make a Dex Saving Throw (DC 15). If you fail you take 4 piercing damage, on 15 or higher you receive half.

Two arrows also fly towards the deck, towards 2 4 (Armyl and Xander)

Arrow 1 (Armyl): 13 Damage: 7

Arrow 2 (Xander): 13 Damage: 9

Deckhands move a couple wounded sailors who are screaming with pain and bleeding profusely below deck while a couple repairmen come up with planks, nails, and hammers then start patching a hole in the deck frantically. The gulls fly away and hang back following the stern of the ship.

Truth's Tenacity is up.

(Armyl, Xander, Ban, Milo, Grol, Raphael)

Grol Dex Roll: 17

  Sing the pirate ship loom close, Grohl decides to run down and get the can of petrol  and brings it back to the deck of the ship. Ripping a strip of cloth from his robe, he dips the end into the canister. Grohl takes his place at the writer and waits for the ship to get closer. 

Dex save: 4

The splinter go flying, a stray piece pierces Xander in his shoulder as he try to take to cover. "Dammit!"

Dex save: 8

"Ahh!" Raphael plucks out a splinter.

Dex Save: 21

While watching the ship to help Xander with the cannon shots, milo notices the arriving cannon ball and manages to avoid it in the last second with an acrobatic jump to the side. A few splinters hit him, but nothing bad "well...that was close. Did it hurt you much Grumpy? You really need to practice more to dodge. It's really helpful you know..." While he's saying that, he's putting his hat back on his head. "So, But let us finish this."

OOC: Milo will help another round Xander

Cannon to hit: 8

Damage: 45

Raphael strikes up another canon shot, then rushes over to his home made bomb. 

OOC: Hanyonslayer, dont forget that Ban still has the Inspiration (+1d6) she can use (if i didn't miss it that you use it). It works also for saving throws. You can always first roll and than decide to use it or not.

OOC: Remember to apply half damage if you succeed the Dex ST and keep track of Bardic inspiration, etc. I trust you all to keep track of everything on your CS and to correct mistakes or oversights. Ban when you post just remember the ST.

Grol, there are several sized containers on the ship, ranging from pocket size to larger ones like 0.5L up to 3L. If you take a large 5 gal container out of the kitchen then Krunchy may not be willing to part with his cookware anytime soon. As there are a variety of sizes available then you may pick whatever you wish.

Raphael you fire the portable cannon, but the blast is not very powerful and makes a "pfft" sound as the ball harmlessly plops about 20 ft off the bow.

There are still 2 more bow cannons left to be fired. 

(Armyl, Xander, Ban, Milo)

ooc: oh wow, I didn't get any emails saying the activity going on here : ( I don't see a range limit for the chain rounds, nor damage for em.

Ban hits the deck behind the nearest cannon, covering her head and neck with her hands. She is whispering quickly, "Oh ****, oh ****, oh ****." 

Dex save: 16

After taking the impact, Ban will get up from behind the cannon, proceed to starboard, and man one of the chainball loaded cannons. "When she gets a bit closer, immediately turn to port, and we'll teach 'em who really runs the seas!"

ooc: we previously loaded the starboard cannons with 4 grapeshot and the two required for the chain cannonballs. My plan was to immobilize them and then pepper the crew with grapeshot when within range. Grapeshot has 100 range. In regards to the bardic inspiration, I haven't forgotten. My plan was to use it on this upcoming shot, if required. We only have 6 of the chain shots.

"Load me Cannon Ball!" Xander rips out the big splinter piece in his shoulder ignoring Milo's words. With Milo's help Xander aims at the lower part of the pirate ship and fires! "Let's sink em!"

Cannon Ball: 16 or 25 

Damage: 30

OOC: Chain shot (short range): 4d10 — 100/300 (best for aimed shots on masts, though can still damage the hull), Theyre in the old OOC PM group, so I'll post it in the new one too. Right now the Pirate ship is @ 400 ft and directly in front. Logically it would seem they would be at 200 ft next turn and within range. As the two figures on their ship are raising their hands towards the sails, appearing to manipulate them somehow.

The two rotten, rusty arrows hiss towards the deck, one imbedding itself in the deck just near Xander, but the other hits Armyl in the shoulder. He quickly manipulates it out.

Xander fires a cannonball as its explosion rips across the deck. A moment later you see it hit the hull near the waterline as black splinters pepper the water and their ship wavers a bit.

Armyl runs up to the last cannon and fires

Attack: 22 Damage: 39

The cannonball blasts directly toward the pirate ship and impacts directly on the deck near the bow as you see a sailor fly into the water. The fire on the stern deck continues to grow ever so slightly.

Quint says to Grol, "You're doing great at the helm, keep her steady lad."

Pirates are up.

The pirate ship closes as the ship itself becomes clearer. It is all black with runes written in a different language vertically along the mast and strange symbols on its black flag and sails. There are several holes on the hull from cannon blast, some appearing to be repaired with tan covered wood from the inside. Two figures wearing red & black robes continue to outreach their arms towards the sails as they appear to be violently flapping and pushed by an unseen force from the two figures. As they line up for another shot you all notice wide planks and grappling hooks being carried onto the main deck. They are now 200ft away and the fire in the stern still burns with a black smoke reaching towards the sky.

You see a puff of smoke and hear the concussive blast as a smoke trail flies towards the Truth's Tenacity

Attack: 25 Damage: 54

The shell punches through the main sail and detonates near the helm. The massive explosion sends pieces of metal shrapnel and splinters to fly outwards in all directions as sailors take cover. Quint tries to dive out of the way of the main blast. Dex ST 3 (DC 15) or take 10 damage.

There are two figures who draw bows and loose arrows from the pirate deck headed for 6 and 3 (Ban and Grol)

Attack 1 (Ban): 24 Damage: 13

Attack 2 (Grol): 6 Damage: 10

Wide planks and hooks are on their deck and the pirates are now 200 ft away.

Truth's Tenacity is up.

Armyl will assist aiming one of the cannons. A injured Quint is carried below deck, his leg appearing to be barely attached  at the knee. He yells in between his groans of pain, "Ban take command, destroy them!"

(Ban, Grol, Milo, Raphael, Xander)

Dex st: 13

Raph covers his bomb, taking damage from the shrapnel instead of it.

Raphael picks up his bomb with a 4-5 second fuse he estimates. He holds it in his talon like feet, freeing his arms to fly upward. He'll take the dash action and attempt to fly 120' over the top of the pirate ship, around 80' above it.

DEX save: 20
