City of Cresthall

Topside, Bennett, then Galley, oh my!

Hm. Ashley, I have an idea. You’re gonna like it. ;)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

Karra steps forward slightly to assess the situation. Glancing around he can see that Benett is still in the frey. He aims with his shortbow, attempting to synchronise his strike with Benett's (Action - Attack, bonus action - help Benett)

Shortbow vs. Pirate: 10 vs. AC. Hit: 9 piercing damage, plus 5 sneak attack.

 He then proceeds to scuttle back to his cover.

Edit: my bad, removed a bonus from the damage roll for sneak attack. Still missed anyway, the other die rolls didn't change.

 (Bennett gets half cover and advantage for the next round.)

The arrow flies and lands itself into the deck, a bit a ways away from the pirate who gives a laugh. The man charges at Gasp, slashing at him.

Scimitar Attack: 10 Damage: 5

 As the man wildly flails his arms, completely missing Gasp. All the people topside can see a few more pirates hopping onto the ship. And behind them, you see a tortle on the enemy ship. With a greataxe upon his shell, he holds a javelin in hand as he surveys the top deck. The tortle looks back to the pirate crew and yells, "Search the cabins!" He aims a javelin to Bennett and throws it to him.

Javelin Attack: 19 Damage: 8

It manages to go over Bennett's cover and strike upon his upper arm.

(Three more pirates join the fray topside. The tortle is at the edge of the ships, about 40 feet away from Karra and Bennett, 30 from Gasp. If anyone want to move to topside after their encounter inside the ship, it will take their whole movement and put them near Ominak.)

((Advantage? Nice. Also, I'm assuming it's my turn. If not, ignore me.))

Action: Eldritch Blast Attack: 16 Damage: 14

((CRITICAL HIT! Thanks Gasp for the advantage)

Whoa, nat20, nice. Here's an orange. Orange you glad Gasp helped you?!

((Sigh. Is uninspiration a thing? Can Virst award uninspiration?))

 (Give you guys sudden disadvantage for the whole round? I mean I can but won't. You'll need help with the next fight. And Karra gave you the help not Gasp. Gasp is off being a dashing Kenku hero.)

Action: Eldritch Blast Attack: 26 Damage: 12

((CRITICAL HIT! Thanks Gasp for the advantage)

Bennett's attack hits the one from before as he laughs, knocking him down against the deck. He coughs up blood before just lying still.

Galley Pirates:

A few shouts are heard below decks as some things crash down below.

(They used up their whole movement and action that round.)

((Can we get an updated list of the initiative order, sire? I need to know who I'm gonna die to lol))

(Are the galley pirates out of the initiative order now?  Since Hatt was following them, did he see what they were doing?)

Ashley, unless you wanna do something else, sweets, would you be a dear and “help” me this turn? I have an idea.

How's your HP? 

Pretty damn good. I workout. I’m gonna try and get some information from this last pirate. Get ready to flap your gums.

Ashley turns to the still alive pirate. Hey you!! I hope your mother is proud of your life choices!

Ashley uses Help for Crispy.

Crispy gives Ashley a surprised and amused look, not expecting her to insult the pirate they were with in the brig. Nice, girl. Crispy spins around and makes her attack, hoping to do enough damage to just subdue the pirate.

Main Attack: 26 Damage: 13

Offhand Attack: 18 Damage: 3

Bless roll: 1

Sneak attack additional damage: 10

Ohhhhh sssssshhhhhit. I think I just completely murdered this guy. Uh..ok, think, Crispy. Can I pull my swings a bit so that he’s barely alive. I wanna talk to this guy. If possible:

“Ok, barnacle breath! I think i’ve made my point. I wanna talk! Don’t die! I’m sorry, ok, you shouldnt have twisted like that! Alright, enough games! What are you guys after, why are you attacking us? Talk! Shit, Ashley! I think I hit him too hard..!”

Gasp flits and flutters off of the deck, making it very hard for those pesky pirates to nail him. As a bonus actions, he'll invoke a Divine Favor! The flames that lick the blade of Flare go from their furious orange and red to a glorious radiant gold! He lets out another loud KAW and takes a swing at the pirate that attacked him.

Righteous Flare!!! Attack: 10 Damage: 16 

If, by chance, he is able to strike down the pirate in that one blow, Gasp will use his boots to fly up to about 15ft over the deck.

(Also, is Hatt closer to the brig or the exit to the deck?  Which fight is he more likely to have heard?  - Passive perception is 13)

I have the feeling i’m not gonna get much out of that pirate I just nat20’ed. 

((You hit him so hard you sent him into the future of the campaign. We are gonna be level 15 and find a pirate with brain trauma.))
