(OOC: In case it was missed, I edited my post to include Norbert's perception check. It was a 17.)

OOC:Sorry about that they should really make it so it notifies you of that 

as Norbert flies over the 3 ships he is able to spot that two are simply cargo ships and the other is a transport vessel, from his view in the sky Norbert spots that the two cargo vessels have no weapons and each contain 3 troops, the transport vessel has 2.

"It looks like 2 cargo ships and a transport vessel. Each cargo ship has three armed guards and the transport vessel has 2 armed guards. That's so easy!" Cinis said to the group. 

He recalled the raven after scouting and continued.

"We could split up and take each cargo ship easy. 2 guards? Each of us could probably take 2 guards. This is a piece of cake. Oooh. Are we going to go all stealthy and sneak behind them or something? Get 'em before they even see us? That sort of thing? That would be so cool." Cinis said, getting more and more excited as he spoke.

Aien smiles crouching low he points to two he is ready to get. 

Gronk looks out at the ships then back at his crew.

"We should split up, I agree. But we need two men on each boat I think, at the least."

"If we split into pairs, I suggest a caster and a melee combatant in each group." Doran advises. "Since we have Ignis, Kreak, and myself, we should be in different groups. Kreak, you take the middle of the ships; your healing should be able to reach over to the others should something go bad for us." He then looks to Vos, "Vos, who would you prefer to pair with? You are team leader after all."

Kreak shakes his bearded head, "I'm afraid I must be within arm's reach to channel the will of my deity and restore your wounds, but I will take middle all the same. Should one of you fall, I will at least have less far to go."

“I’ll go with Ignis, we’ll take the left ship. Gronk and Doran take the right ship. Aien go with Kreak and take the middle ship. Try to lure them off the boat if you can”

Doran nods. "Yes sir." He gets his spells at the ready in his mind and will move to position when everyone's ready.

Kreak nods to Aien, suggesting, "Stay out of sight and let me get their attention, then break them against the wall of my shield?" 

Gronk nods in agreement and joins Doran in position close to the right ship.

Ignis followed Vos to the ship on the left, humming excitedly as he went. 

Hopefully the brute can keep the idiot alive. 

Doran gets ready to cast a sleep spell at the guards on his designated ship for before he and Gronk would be on the deck, hoping it will debilitate at least one of them to ease their fight. With his other hand he keeps the dagger tightly grasped to charge alongside Gronk to back him up.

Alright for anyone sneaking forward make a stealth check if you’re not sneaking then how are you approaching 

Doran's Stealth check: 14

Doran will try to keep to a safe path, as he lacks darkvision to easily tread through the darker parts of the area.

Gronk Stealth: 9

Stealth: 3

Ignis, not really understanding the concept of stealth, whistles loudly as they approach the boat. 

Aien moves forward, a bit ahead of the rest (5 feet at most) Glancing back to see who will be traversing up with him. Stealth: 19

Kreak moves up behind Aien, making no effort to conceal himself. The sturdy dwarf in heavy armor knows he is no stealth expert, but hopes that by drawing attention to himself he can divert it from Aien long enough to allow the latter to devastate any enemies from behind. He rolls forward toward the ship in a combat stance, hammer whistling as he limbers up by twirling it experimentally left and right in carefully controlled, vicious spirals. His shield is slightly raised and he stands ready to crouch behind it if met with a barrage of projectiles from aboard. 

As you advance forward Doran and Gronk you are able to make your way up Gronk with a few slip ups but luckily Doran is able to make sure he doesn’t give away there position getting close to the boat,

Over on the other side Vos and Ignis make a pitiful attempt at stealth as one of the guards from the ship looks over and shouts “LOOK OUT” and aims his cross bow, Vos quickly assesin the situation tackles Ignis to the floor knocking them both prone as the other two guards move up to the side of the ship and fire, 2 at Vos and 1 at Ignis 

Crossbow1 V Attack: 8 Damage: 6

Crossbow2 V Attack: 9 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Crossbow3 I Attack: 12 Damage: 4

The middle ship Aien quickly and quietly sneaks up close to the ship the two guards however quickly see the dwarf clearly ready to fight fire both of there crossbows at him 

Crossbow1 Attack: 8 Damage: 5

Crossbow2 Attack: 12 Damage: 4
