With his magic continuously missing, Varis decides to attack outright. He moves toward the captain and swings with his scimitar.

I was trying out the attack tab on the dice roller previously, and just discovered it wasn't adding modifiers (no worries, I don't think I would've hit anyway with that guiding bolt).

Varis and Grim
As the boat rocks and sways on the sea you are unable to connect with your hits.
Colter holds his daggers high above his head and attempts to stab them both into the captain.

The captain begins masterfully dodging and rolling out of the way of the attacks. He springs back up to his feet in one swift motion before attacking Pafaren.

The captain strikes true, and Pafaren once again falls to the deck.

While dodging Grimnirs vicious attack, the captain steps right into Varis' Scimitar. When the blade connects you once again see the ice form around the hilt, you can almost see runes in the ice, but before you can read them they disappear. The captain steps back and winces in pain a bit.
Colter lunges with a high stab, then quickly ducks to a crouching position, allowing just enough room for Jana to sneak a bolt by, as the bolt releases from the crossbow Colter makes a stab toward the captains knee.
Colter to hit: 5 for 4 + 5
Colter to hit: 21 for 4 + 5
Jana to hit: 12 for 7 Captain CON save: 20
Colters first strike catches the captain off guard, he stumbles back for a moment, before collecting himself.
The Captain Vanishes from sight.
Grim - CHA save - remember the CHA damage from earlier....
You see the captain disappear. Suddenly Grimnirs body locks up, he starts to move, but as if he is struggling against himself. He turns slowly turns to you and says in a voice that is part Grimnirs and par Captain's; "I WILL HAVE ALL OF YOU!" Grim's eyes open and you see that they are completely black and blood is trickling down his cheeks. He draws his long sword and starts moving toward you.
Grim
As the captain disappears you feel your body go cold. You feel his voice in your head, and find it impossible to move your body. You struggle with all your might, but feel his presence suffocating you.
You can as a standard action make a DC 15 CHA save to break the possession.... Otherwise, your body belongs to the captain. You can as a free action make a DC 7 CHA save to speak to your allies.
Varis presumes attacking the captain will ultimately harm Grimnir and not the captain. Thus, he will cast detect magic in order to learn more of his sword and possibly anything else happening around him.

This is the point where I'm thinking, "You can do it! Throw a HAIL MARY!" But I know that I will probably roll a 1 and end up falling out of the boat and drowning, lol.
Argghhh...decisions, decisions...
To play it safe or go for the gold?
Nope, I've seen my dice rolls lately...I'm going for the safe route...lol. DC7 it is!

Colter steps into a defensive stance. His eyes dart across the ship. "Varis, he is your compatriot... how do we proceed..."
Jana rushes to Pafaren, to try and give medical aide. Her shoulders slump as she looks back at you Varis, "He's gone... He's gone..." Her voice trails off...
END PLAYER TURN
The stiffened body of Grimnir takes a few clumsy steps toward Varis and swings his long sword at you with a slow, two handed motion.
You see Grim fall to the ground, his body a limp pile. He lays motionless for a moment, until finally staggering to his feet. His eyes have returned to normal and he sways in place for a moment until finally shaking his head and returning to normal.
Grim
You blackout completely. You have terrible visions of the wars. You recall burring your blade in your superior while he slept in his cot. You see his family weeping, and cursing your name. You see the children trapped in their homes by your siege flames. You hear the screams and struggles of war. You see the countless hours you spent preparing your heart to kill. You feel every emotion, amplified as you watch your life play in front of you. The vision of your life fades and you feel your feet touch the soft ground of Valhalla. You feel peace wash over you, and you see long missed, familiar faces. As you feel yourself fall into the comfort, you feel a firm grip on your ankles. You look down to see the hands of every enemy you killed reaching for you. They pull you through the ground, and out of Valhalla. They pull you into the sea and even deeper, into the depths of the earth. Suddenly, you wake up and you are standing on the deck above a lifeless Pafaren and being stared at by everyone aboard.
"W-w-what have I done?"Grimnir's breath quakes as he asks. "Pafaren? PAFAREN!!!??"
He falls to his knees over the old elf's crumpled form, staring in bewilderment and disbelief. He locks eyes with those around him and in a trembling voice begins to plead for answers.
"WHAT DID HE MAKE ME DO!!!!!!!!!!!??????"

"Great warrior, I believe the master alchemist was gone before you were possessed by the captain. The gods have blessed us it seems. Do you find yourself back to normal? The fog has lifted, but are you fully of your own mind?"
Varis will walk over to Pafaren's body and pray a blessing over him, asking Yalasna to take him into his realm and bring peace to the elf's soul.
"The poor old ellon, he was taking care of himself with healing potions, I saw him. It's why I ended up focusing on myself with my own healing abilities," Varis rambles as he tries to explain himself to his shipmates.
He then speaks to the captain, "Kelpos, most of us are injured, though breathing. Yet, we are wearied by the death of Pafaren. How far from land are we? Our elvish custom is normally burial. Yet, if we are too far from land, do we have a spare small boat within which we could set him ablaze at sea?"
In a somber tone Kelpos calls back, "That's too bad me boy... We are searching for an island that has disappeared long ago. we are not near land, though we could find some, maybe... We could always give him a true pirate funeral." he pauses, the continues with a stutter, "we throw his body to the gods of the water, anchor the vessel, and drink until we write him into a shanty... that's the true pirate way me boy. cruel I know, but we are just as the sea. We must be."
