Vappa, you can certainly use Deflect Missiles. I believe the damage reduction should be a total of 9 though, as the formula is 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level. I'll put you down for 2 points of damage from the pistol attack instead.
Strife, a fireball erupts from your hand and streaks off toward the big Pirate Ship. Unfortunately it falls well short of its intended target, crashing into the ocean with a sizzle. That white line is approximately 2.25 inches (it shrinks a bit when I post the image), which equates to 4.5 squares or, 225ft. Well beyond the 120ft range of fire bolt.
Seldor and Lady Susanne, with no one at the helm the Misty Matron plows ahead in the last direction she was pointed in. Here is the updated map, +4 to hit both ships at this range. You're up!
Vappa, your shortsword draws a line of red across the pirate's dingy tunic and he yells in anger. The second strike hits as you punch him in the face with your off-hand, but the third misses.
Pirate 2 will respond to your attacks with two swipes of his cutlass. Both miss!
Cpt. Red Skies will attempt another shot from her pistol and two rapier attacks against Pirate 1. All three attacks find their mark and Pirate 1 goes down!
Strife is up!
Lady Susanne, your shot goes wide, missing the Pirate Ship.
Seldor, your shots strike the Pirate Ship and bury themselves in its hull. One finds the powder store and an explosion rocks the ship, tearing out a huge hole in the foredeck. It's still floating and sailing, but it is badly damaged!
The Pirate Ship and Blue ship make their moves. The Blue ship misses a grappling attempt. Another pirate attempts to board the Misty Matron, but smashes against the hull instead. He falls beneath the waves in a broken heap.
Seldor, your first shot crushes another hole in the beaten hull of the Pirate Ship. The second just misses above the Foredeck.
Lady Susanne, your shot strikes the powder storage as Seldor's did before, igniting the rest of the black powder and tearing the ship apart in a huge explosion! The Pirate Ship is down!
Vappa and Strife,
The chaos of battle is eclipsed by a thundering crash as something immense lands on the deck causing the ship to roll starboard then right itself. Through the smoke of gunpowder and flailing limbs, you see a large humanoid creature now stands on deck. It resembles a bi-pedal hippopotamus and is dressed in a tattered Royal Navy uniform with the sleeves torn off exposing huge grey arms. It's wielding twin pistols, one resting on its right shoulder, the other hanging at its side, muzzle pointing at the deck. The Giff slowly scans the area and smiles as it settles its gaze on Cpt. Red Skies.
“Ryleigh Red Skies!” the Giff’s deep voice booms like a thunderstorm.
Cpt. Red Skies turns to face him, and a look of shock is quickly replaced with rage.
“James Coddington! You traitorous bastard bully! Come to turn yourself in after all these years?”
“Heh heh, not quite. It’s been a while since you almost caught me near Tordesillas. About 15 years I reckon. If that storm hadn’t dashed my ship on the rocks and forced your retreat, we could’ve settled our disagreement then and there. I guess now’s as good a time as any!” and James charges into the fray with a roar.
The Pirate Captain, James Coddington, and another Pirate manage to swing across to the Misty Matron before their ship explodes.
Cpt. Red Skies shouts "All hands on deck! Abandon the cannons!" before charging into the fray. Seldor and Lady Susanne, roll for initiative!
James will use the Black dot. Pirate 4 will use the White dot.
Strife is still up.
Dot colors and location: Cpt. Red Skies E2, Vappa I3, Strife G5, James K1, Pirate 2 I2, Pirate 3 K6, Pirate 4 (White) M2.
Ok, got it. Thanks!
If allowed, Vappa is going to use Defect Missiles Attack as a reaction to lower the damage from the flintlock pistol.

Seldor smiles as he sees the cannonballs tear through the ship. Maybe I should've joined the navy. I'm pretty good at this whole ship combat thing.
He fires two more shots at the red ship.
