"Well Kali, I think you'll earn back that pay soon enough. Misha called, it seems like there's trouble back at the Belle."

THE BELLE OF THE SEA vs THE SALTY BARNACLE

Misha looked through the periscope. It was definitely a pirate ship. Could it be? The pirates that initially fought with the cultists and ransacked Abbey Isle? It was a large ship, and Misha looked back and forth from the island to the ship waiting for the away team to come back. Luckily, they did. Smiling and helping the crew with their newfound wealth, she was excited to return to Saltmarsh and be part of the success of the crew when Carrhae reported to Guildmaster Tabeth their mission was a success.

DISTANCE: The Salty Barnacle is quickly approaching the Belle. It will be within firing range in about 2 rounds. Then, it will take about 10 rounds before it is boardable - assuming you head towards it.
DAMAGE POINTS: For this fight, if you wish, you can target the following items on the ship: HULL, HELM, SAILS, BALLISTA. Destroying the hull sinks the ship. Destroying the helm prevents it from turning. Destroying the sails prevents it from moving forward. Destroying the ballista prevents it from firing. This ship has three.
CRITICAL HITS: Crits cause something additionally bad to happen, like a fire or additional damage as decided by me.

Destroy or cause the Barnacle to flee, and you win the adventure.

Short rest? Sweet. 2 HD: 15

Syltra, answering the call, flies out under the power of her new boots straight towards the enemy ship! 

"Syltra, get back here. We aren't going to board them!" Carrhae hurriedly paddles towards the Belle. Once aboard, she begins giving instructions. "Sana, ready the cannons. Chandor, get us on course for Saltmarsh, we're getting out of here."

Chandor looks at the pirate ship, looks at Carrhae, looks at the camera, looks at the ship, looks at his bow, looks at Carrhae, looks at the camera and shrugs before moving toward his charts. 

Navigating: 10

Sana frowns and gets promptly to work on the cannons. In the water below, Felix jumps ahead to see what the state of the ship is. (Is it damaged, old, etc. A dolphin probably can't get much, lol, but every little bit)

Perception and he has blindsight for 60 ft: 14

Misha looks at Carrhae with a bit of surprise and shock at the order to retreat, but says nothing. She stares at the enemy ship and squints.

Felix "reports" back the ship is in good shape, and slightly less armed than the Belle. Currently, about 15 crew members are topside. Most likely an equal fight.

Catching up...whew:

Short Rest 3 HD: 26

Syltra lands on the boat, her hair whipping in the wind. 

“Captain! Why are we running? We can take them!” Somehow gone is the reticent firbolg; Syltra’s countenance matches the stormy skies above; and her bearing the choppy sea beneath them. 

"I apologize if you wanted to fight, but we've already fought multiple battles today, so I do not believe that it is wise for us to go aboard their ship. However, we have Acheronian cannons, so we can still fight them and if any of you have spells that can help disable the Barnacle, feel free to use them. Chandor, get us in range to shoot them. Sana,get the cannons ready and aim at their sails, I'll help you out. Misha, Kali, work one of them and aim for their ballistas. Let's show them that no one messes with the Belle and gets away with it!  And hopefully nothing happens after this and I can hook up with Kali.

Initiative: 16

"Felix disagrees," Sana says flatly to Syltra. "They're in good shape and match us in numbers, and they haven't been fighting all day. I agree with the Captain, we don't want to get to close quarters with them."

Oops. Keep that one I struckout

Kali bent over the controls of the cannon aiming and Misha spied the barnacle, squinting and looking at the cannon's targeting readout. 

"Almost." She said. "To the left. To the left. Yes! There! Now!"

Archeronian Cannon Attack: 27 Damage: 24

Misha slapped Kali's ass. It was a solid hit.

Chewing her lip, Sana maneuvers the cannons with her captain's help.

Syltra initiative 19

Syltra smiles and looks to the skies again. “Aye, Cap’n! Let them get close and I’ll unleash hell!”

The firbolg takes off from the deck of the Belle and flies to meet the enemy ship. First turn she will dodge.

"Okay, but if you die, I'm punishing you!"
