When Arnald finally climbs over the railing he takes in the scene and then moves so that he has line of sight on Ixas. He pulls a arrow from his quiver and lifts up his long bow, gauging the sway of the ships before loosing the arrow.

Well, at leas she could see, though the picture was not only ugly but a very confusing one too. Those dressed in bones were flesh and blood and sailed on a real ship, while those who looked human came from a ghostly apparition of a boat long gone. Still, the footprints around dead villages were tiny, and the kobold confessed pillaging...
Ola spotted Ixas and, cursing the creature, sent an energy bolt toward him.
Sylyra places a hand on Raki's shoulder to keep the kobold from running off and speaks a short phrase in Sylvan. Small motes of light shake from the mistletoe at the end of his staff before green spectral flames race up and down the weapon from where the elf grasps it. Crouching down next to the creature, Sylyra asks Raki while keeping his eyes on the chaos around them, "What is going on here? Have you ever seen this other ship before?"
Bonus: Shillelagh
Ready action: Attack if anyone gets within melee range who appears hostile toward any member of the party (Raki included):
Ixas's yelp can be heard over the sounds of battle when an arrow leaves Arnald's bowstring strikes his arm mere seconds before Ola follows with a sizzling blast of energy. The man hollers something toward one of the clusters of fighters and runs behind the ship's mast. As he runs, he holds on to a pinwheel amulet around his neck and begins to chant. A spectral mace materializes upon the party, striking first into Arnald's back.
The fight continues all over the ship, with both groups of enemies falling upon each other still. The pirate fighting the pair of kobolds struggles, one arm useless at his side and blackened as if by exposure to intense cold or frostbite. The kobolds, too quick and shifty for the fighter, spin around the man, where one buckles his knee before the other leaps onto his back and plunges its dagger into the base of his neck. The kobolds leap up in glee, each running past the dead man into one of the other two fights.
Round 2 Order: Pirates Ship Crew Players <=====
Placement: The pirates' crew consists of the captain and four pirates. The ship crew consists of Ixas, two humans, and five kobolds. Ixas is 15 feet away, under three-quarters cover behind the ship's mast. A human and two kobolds are fighting two pirates 30 feet away to the left side of the ship. Ixas stands behind the fire, only available by a 5-foot-wide section of the deck. A human and three kobolds are fighting two pirates and their captain 20 feet away to the right side of the ship.
Health: Ixas is lightly wounded.
Arnald is wounded. Sylyra is lightly wounded. Uragum is lightly wounded.
OOC: Bah! Yes, sorry. I did a dumb and hit the back button while typing that up and had to re-type everything, left it out the second time. Here was Raki's bit:
Raki stares bewildered, his eyes wide in panic at the scene. "No! This...not!" He shakes his head vociferously, rapidly scanning left and right.
Having taken in the situation. Uragum decides to attack the leader with Ola. With some hand motions, use of the wand as a focus and arcane words, he summons another mass of rolling flames besides Ixas and rams it into him from behind.
Action: cast flaming sphere right behind ixas.
Bonus action: move sphere to hit ixas. Dex save of 13 for half or take all of 9 fire damage
If he remains within 5 ft at the end of his turn he needs to try saving again or take another 9 fire damage
OOC: Ola can absolutely take an opportunity attack, as Ixas did not disengage and there's only a narrow space for him to run past the flames. Feel free to roll that as your reaction, or I'll roll it if I post sooner.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Botting Sylyra for this round with another readied action for anyone who gets within range of him, and keeping an eye on Raki.

Ixas is quickly overwhelmed by the onslaught as Arnald's arrow plunges into the wood of the mast, Ola's sword cuts deep as she gives chase, and the pressing heat of Uragum's flame chases him out of his cover. Disengaging from the situation, he frantically casts a protective spell upon himself, and a glowing force of energy surrounds him for a moment as he flees to his crewmates, shouting for their assistance. A pair of kobolds meets Ola's charge, rushing to defend Ixas. Ola keeps the first at bay but they work together well, and the second gets behind her to cut at her leg.
A second pirate, his leg charred all the way to the bone, is overwhelmed by kobolds; they drag the slowed man down and leap upon him, stabbing repeatedly with their daggers. The pirates' captain spews infernal curses as their ranks are lessened.
The fire that has consumed one end of the ship is quickly spreading. The area in which Ixas has been standing when you arrived has been fully cut off by the flames.
Round 3 Order: Pirates Ship Crew Players <=====
Placement: The pirates' crew consists of the captain and three pirates. The ship crew consists of Ixas, two humans, and five kobolds. Ixas is 15 feet away. The path to him has been cut off by two kobolds, which are engaged in melee combat with Ola. A human is fighting two pirates on the left side of the ship. A human and three kobolds are fighting a pirate and their captain on the right side of the ship.
Health: Ixas is badly wounded.
Arnald is wounded. Sylyra is lightly wounded. Uragum is lightly wounded.
OOC: Ola had 5 temporary HP on her character sheet. I can't remember where that came from, and I didn't have any luck finding it in the thread, so I assume that hadn't yet expired. If you can remember, let me know.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Uragum smiles at the struggle. With flick of the wrist he sends the flaming sphere into the side of the kobold at Ola's back making sure to keep the kobold sandwiched as to not put Ola in harms way of the fire. He then looks at Ixas and pulls a diamond from his pocket and puts his hands together causing a blast of lighting to strike out towards him.
Bonus action: move flaming sphere to a kobold by Ola but keeping it at and angle that she won't be 5 feet next to it risking damage. Dc 13 dex save for half or take 4 fire damage.
Action casting chromatic orb at ixas, lightning damage
(That was from Armor of Agathys that was cast at the beginning of the fight on the shores and had to last for an hour. If an hour had pass, that must be gone)
Ola was not the best swordsman lived but tried her best and attacked one of the cobold with the sword: Attack: 14 Damage: 6
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Thank you Ola, that was it. An hour has passed since the original casting, so I've adjusted Ola's sheet. Botting Sylyra while he's still away with a dodge.

Ixas is thrown violently across the deck, Uragum's lightning striking center mass and sending him tumbling away dead. Ola strikes precise, cutting into the collar of one advancing kobold while the second is shot in its arm by Arnald. The pained creature whiffs an attempt to stab Ola, its attention focused behind it, where two of the pirates have slain the human it left behind. These red-skinned brigadiers take up a charge at the party, seemingly intent on attacking everything on the ship.

Ooc: Did the flaming sphere do anything for the kobold fight Ola or was that the one that died?
Uragum, satisfied with his attack on Ixas, turns towards the advancing humans and wills the flaming sphere over to the nearest advancing man and slams it into him. He then summons his frostbite spell to further sap his energy.
Bonus action to move sphere to nearest approaching human pirate. Dc 13 dex save for 1/2 of 10 fire damage
Action for frostbite spell dc 13 con save or take 3 cold damage and have disadvantage on next attack roll
When Arnald finally climbs over the railing he takes in the scene and then moves so that he has line of sight on Ixas. He pulls a arrow from his quiver and lifts up his long bow, gauging the sway of the ships before loosing the arrow.
