Session 1 - Becoming Real Pirates, Part 1

[Dracos]

8/23/2008 6:41:14 PM <Dracos2>   On 'Misty' Island, it was a sunny day where villagers did their laundry and cooked their food.  Old mothers chased young bratty children and older teens looked after them...when they couldn't get away to sail along the skies.  It was a peaceful and rural community, far removed from any national border, and shielded in many ways by the difficult wind tracks near the island.  With nothing of any worth nearby, they were l
8/23/2008 6:41:14 PM <Dracos2>   eft largely unmolested by imperial taxation ships, warships, or pirates.  But Misty Island had another name among the locals.  It was Pirate Island, the home of the bold and fearsome Blue Rogues, one of the more noble pirate groups to fly the seven skies, feared by warships near and far and known most for their focus on brave and daring deeds more than their pillaging of merchant ships.  Hidden beneath this rural towns
8/23/2008 6:41:14 PM <Dracos2>   cape was an underground port where a large warship stood, the pride of every villager on the island.  On it, the older pirates were readying it for launch ensuring the various tools of the trade would perform admirably when it came time to fire them aggressively into the side of a steel warship.
8/23/2008 6:41:48 PM <Dracos2>   "Elladan!  Elladan!  Get your lazy scrawny ass over here," an older man with a long set of brown whiskers screeched as he smacked at a cannon.
8/23/2008 6:43:49 PM *   Elladan looks up from his spellbook with an odd, glazed eye smile, and shifts on his make-shift seat of food sacks.
8/23/2008 6:44:10 PM <Elladan>   "Eh? What is it now?"
8/23/2008 6:46:57 PM <Dracos2>   "Stop fooling around with those silly picture books and get over here.  There is work to be done.  And Salaria is going to tan your hide if she catches you hiding those in your spell books one more time," The mountain of a man stood up, wiping his brow.  "We've got another three cannons to get primed this morning and you're going to get along doing them," He gestured with a wrench.  He was a fierce man, but had been li
8/23/2008 6:46:57 PM <Dracos2>   ke a father to Elladan since he came to the island, teaching him the ways of explosives and fire.  Lots of fire.  Elladan had taken to the craft of making things explode as if he was born to it and it wasn't likely to be long before he was taken from a simple bording pirate to a cannon master.
8/23/2008 6:50:42 PM *   Elladan lurches to his feet and sighs longingly, gazing at his spellbook and lets it fall, hanging on his waist by it's short teather and heads up towards his job.
8/23/2008 6:51:45 PM <Elladan>   "Perhaps she wouldn't have to if she did more than inspire a few these pages on occassion... Or perhaps she simply enjoys going after my hide?"
8/23/2008 6:52:27 PM *   Elladan smiles serenely as he goes about his task, checking the rigging on the guns, the fuses, flints, and powder charges..
8/23/2008 6:52:58 PM <Dracos2>   A whack to the head, "Focus on your work lad.  I won't have you causing trouble when we're about to head off."
8/23/2008 6:53:01 PM <Dracos2>   Meanwhile...
8/23/2008 6:55:34 PM <Dracos2>   "Batten down the hatches and check your blades boys.  I expect a good showing from all of you," The slender and tanned Heelya walked past all of the bunks, smacking a pirate here, yanking a pirate there, and occassionally shouting a word of backwards praise when some lubermonkey got things right.  She had a tongue like a harpie and twin blades to match, but on her watch most men tended to come back.  And really, who re
8/23/2008 6:55:34 PM <Dracos2>   ally could get that angry with the cutey yelling orders anyway.  "You two," She paused a moment before the twin bunks of Kythaine and Marcus.  "I heard you did well on Dyne's test."
8/23/2008 6:57:27 PM *   Kythaine responds with a faint smile and an eve fainter nod.
8/23/2008 6:59:06 PM <Marcus>   Marcus yawned boredly and scratched his hair, as he looked over at Heelya without getting out of bed. "It wasn't exactly -hard-, you know..." he mutters smartly.
8/23/2008 7:00:21 PM <Dracos2>   They barely saw it comin', a whack to either head.  "Now don't be air-sick now, Kythaine.  We've not even left the docks.  I know you two boys be good enough with a blade and a spell, but remember, there won't be a wizard watching over you during the real thing.  If you get hurt, run.  A dead pirate tells no tales...and gets no loot."
8/23/2008 7:01:28 PM *   Kythaine frowns and rubs his head.
8/23/2008 7:01:45 PM <Kythaine>   "He who fights and runs away...lives."
8/23/2008 7:02:59 PM *   Marcus grumbles, but nods, before grinning. "Sure, sure. And I'll also remember the most important part. Be faster than the slowest guy, no?" Clamping his hands on the edge, he pushes off to jump to a standing position on the floor.
8/23/2008 7:03:32 PM <Dracos2>   "Good man...  Now show me your swords," she demanded, her voice broking no disobedience.  She might not be tall, but she was a drill sergeant that expected immediate obedience.  "Hah, funny.  Keep it for the deck.  Metal heads never know what to do with a joke heading their way."
8/23/2008 7:05:42 PM <Marcus>   "Just cause the other guy doesn't have a sense of humor, doesn't mean I shouldn't. What's life without a few laughs?" the young fighter replies smartly as he grabs his weapon of choice. "By the way, think you missed the memo. I prefer to bash heads in, not cut 'em off at the neck." He twirls the warhammer now in his hands to make his point.
8/23/2008 7:08:26 PM <Kythaine>   "I don't think the method matters to the man recieving it."  He draws his sword for inspection.
8/23/2008 7:09:49 PM <Dracos2>   She took a look at their blade and warhammer.  "Tighten that wrap, Marcus, you don't want it coming loose on the fifth head smash.  And you, don't sharpen the blade so much or you'll have a tooth pick by the time we're through a half dozen battles.  Keep it clean and able to cut cloth.  Now boys, this is your first time out, so stay near the experienced pirates when you have  the chance...and skewer the enemies clean,
8/23/2008 7:09:49 PM <Dracos2>   understand?" Expecting a loud reply.
8/23/2008 7:10:56 PM *   Kythaine bellows "Yes!!!" in reply.
8/23/2008 7:11:33 PM *   Marcus just nods, deciding not to make another comment, this time on how exactly someone skewers someone with a blunt weapon.
8/23/2008 7:13:39 PM <Dracos2>   Heelya carried on, her shouts audiable throughout the bottom deck as she saw to the rest of their readiness.  It'd be the first time they launched this month, and indeed the first real outing as pirates for several of them.  The veterens had been teasing them muchly, but they were sure they'd give just as good once they hit the deck.
8/23/2008 7:15:13 PM <Dracos2>   In a higher room, a crazy little gnome of a man was cackling wildly.  Or would be, if another book hadn't mysteriously found his face.  "Glubtz, what did I say about cackling loudly when I'm around?" The tall robed Salaria's voice was stern as she continued reading her spellbook, waiting as the ship got ready.
8/23/2008 7:17:29 PM <Glubtz>   "How can I not laugh boisterously?  I am going to take a ship apart!  Piece by piece!  I shall learn its precious precious secrets..."
8/23/2008 7:18:14 PM *   Glubtz smoothes out his beard with giddy anticipation, then stops and frantically poofs it back up.
8/23/2008 7:19:55 PM <Dracos2>   Another book slammed into his way too thick skull.  "Glubtz, we do not take ships apart.  We hit them, take their stuff, and leave.  Now, study your incantations.  I'm fairly sure that Heelya will toss you off the ship herself if you send another 'accident' towards a crew member.
8/23/2008 7:22:40 PM *   Glubtz rubs his shaven head while muttering, "Evil woman, you shall not prevent me from gleaning of the secrets of the sky...mutter*mutter."
8/23/2008 7:23:13 PM *   Glubtz settles down though and continues poaring through his book, tangling his fingers in his beard.
8/23/2008 7:27:40 PM <Dracos2>   A book tapped his head gently...and then smacked him across the face.  "And that's for the evil woman comment," She didn't even look up.  Outside Mayren headed over to the cannons, examining them and turning to Bombadier, "Good work as always Master Cannoner.  They look ready to fire," She grinned, a cutey in her little outfit, always hanging around the cannons.
8/23/2008 7:27:43 PM <Glubtz>   "
8/23/2008 7:34:48 PM *   Elladan slyly glances up from his task, taking a quick glance of her before standing up fully with a smile.
8/23/2008 7:35:27 PM <Elladan>   "Ah, Mayren! I was just wondering where you were.. I was thinking of modifying the powder charges a bit, and was wondering if you'd be interested?"

8/23/2008 7:40:38 PM <DiceBot>   Elladan gets 21 | Raw Rolls: [16] = 16
8/23/2008 7:44:32 PM <Dracos2>   "Elladan," Her voice noticeably went up as she turned, favoring him with a smile.  She was but a year older than him, but always seemed to find time to spend with him, finding his antics quite cute as she stepped near.  "I'd love to talk about it, you always have such neat ideas for my cannons," She grinned.
8/23/2008 7:45:22 PM <Dracos2>   "Men on deck," A loud voice carried through the ship.  "Pirates at your post.  Lower the cliff face!  Engage the engines, launch speed!"
8/23/2008 7:46:34 PM <Dracos2>   "Engines engaged...Launch speed!"  The ship began to hum, the various docking moors being thrown off as it started to lift up a bit from where it was docked against the cliff side, the nearby wall of the rock lowering outward to provide an amazingly crafted exit from the underground docking bay.
8/23/2008 7:48:36 PM <Elladan>   "Excellent! You're oh-so much more responsive to my ideas than Salaria or Bombadier, and much more pleasant to be around.. My idea was this: if we were to mix a portion of Alchemist's Fire into the gun powder, it would suppliment the explosive power by a good bit, I believe. The increase in heat it would produce would also help with the pressure! This, I believe, would allow us to use less powder to achieve the same force!"
8/23/2008 7:49:35 PM <Elladan>   "That, then, would allow us to use the same amount of gun powder we have in storage for more actual shots. We'd be able to provide more reloads, and faster since each would be lighter also!"
8/23/2008 7:53:06 PM *   Glubtz jumps up from his chair, "Oh boy oh joy! I am an actual pirate now!" He snatches his patched cloak and throws it around him with what he considers a dramatic flourish.
8/23/2008 7:55:38 PM *   Glubtz pats his pockets and rustles around his clothing for a second, before ripping off a large bright yellow patch from his shirt and fashioning it into a bandana for his head. "I'm off!" He charges out the door before poking his head in the doorway again sheepishly. "Um, where do I go?"
8/23/2008 7:58:54 PM <Dracos2>   "Wow, that's pretty neat...but wouldn't that have the danger of...Oh, I should get to my post, let's talk later, in your room," She casually replied, stars surrounding her visage as she seemed to float off.  "Back on your feet, you clumsy rapscallion, we've got work to do and you're lusting after Mayren isn't part of it," Bombadier spun the wrench he'd just smacked the boy with around and started pushing the cannons in
8/23/2008 7:58:54 PM <Dracos2>   to their places. "Come on now."
8/23/2008 7:59:33 PM <Dracos2>   "Glubtz, how you keep your head on your shoulders is a mystery to me.  Sit in a chair and wait for someone to call you," Salaraia sarcastically replied, not moving.
8/23/2008 8:00:19 PM *   Elladan grunts and gives the man the evil eye as he goes about his task, securing the ship's armaments, charges, and ammo loads..
8/23/2008 8:04:28 PM <Kythaine>   Kythaine turns to Marcus.  "I guess my station is near the wheel.  Oh, and I will be quite impressed if you do manage to skewer someone with that warhammer."  He strides quickly to his post, though he can't help notice the 'little' in the cute little outfit Mayran is wearing.
8/23/2008 8:04:32 PM <Dracos2>   "Turning to launch, Captain," The navigator called out.  The Daring Dyne stood near the bow of the ship, nodding. "Let's get a move on then, take it out past the moors and up into the clouds!"
8/23/2008 8:06:01 PM *   Elladan offers Kythaine a friendly wave and grin as he passes by, then waves Marcus over.
8/23/2008 8:06:54 PM *   Kythaine nods and waves back, but keeps moving.
8/23/2008 8:06:55 PM <Glubtz>   "I hate waiting, I didn't chose to study the secret pacts of demons of long ago to WAIT.  Patience is SOOOOOOOO not a virtue,"  Glutbz half whine grumbles.
8/23/2008 8:08:11 PM *   Glubtz plops down to sulk, but very quickly gets distracted with examaning his warhammer.
8/23/2008 8:08:56 PM *   Marcus raises an eyebrow as he passes on a load of bags he had been in the middle of grabbing to some other random pirate helping out, and heads towards the pyromaniac elf. Not that he'd call him that to his face or anything of the sort, but that's how he tended to think of him as. "Need help with anything?" Marcus asks, interpreting the wave as a request for him.
8/23/2008 8:10:23 PM <Elladan>   "Aye. Figured you'd rather help with the guns instead of those lousy sacks. There are fewer, and it'll go quicker.. Also, I wanted to run something by you.."
8/23/2008 8:12:37 PM <Elladan>   "I've got an idea that *might* get the captain to get me.. us... well, me.. a store of Alchemist's Fire.. Was wondering if you'd like to have a few vials of it for your boarding? Figured it'd help keep your score above the other's.."
8/23/2008 8:15:17 PM <Marcus>   "Heh, all the work's the same damn thing to me. I just care more about doing something, anything, until the real action starts," Marcus comments in reply to Elladan's observation. "And uh...well, how sturdy are those vials? Don't care to be blowing myself up by accident. Not that I'm clumsy or anything, but a man worries, y'know..."
8/23/2008 8:15:40 PM <Dracos2>   Arriving by the navigator, Kythaine was subject to tales of old.  The man was a blowhard to be sure, but knew his stuff as he steered the ship onwards skillfully navigating the winds and riding the clouds, keeping the ship hidden carefully as they moved through the skies of their territory.
8/23/2008 8:15:44 PM *   Elladan waves the man's concerns off.
8/23/2008 8:16:04 PM <Elladan>   "Bah! As long as you don't let them get directly impacted, there's no real danger."
8/23/2008 8:18:29 PM <Marcus>   "...How big a danger is a 'real danger'?" the doubtful fighter asks, as he purses his lips tightly. Pyromaniacal elf indeed. The madman was going to blow them all up to kingdom come if he was let have his way.
8/23/2008 8:19:01 PM <Dracos2>   "Lads, you put fire in your weapons, and I'm going to be picking up the lot of you," Bombadier glared at the two.  "Save your troublemaking for on the island."
8/23/2008 8:19:48 PM <Elladan>   "Ehhh.. *If* they were to get impacted directly? Small explosion, maybe. Mainly some fire.. I doubt you'd have them long enough to be worried about it. Such things are best used quickly.. And liberally."
8/23/2008 8:20:32 PM <Kythaine>   "Where are we headed today?" Kythaine asks the navigator.
8/23/2008 8:21:03 PM <Elladan>   "Fire in my weapons? Hmm.. You might be on to something there... If it could be done, the impact of the weapon would be significantly increased.. Hmm.. I'll have to think on that.. Thanks Bombadier!"
8/23/2008 8:21:18 PM *   Elladan sends a beaming smile at the older man.
8/23/2008 8:21:37 PM <Marcus>   "Think I'll pass," Marcus says, stepping away from the pyro. "I'll go work with the guns though. You might be right about the work with those being less annoying than the supply sacks."
8/23/2008 8:22:37 PM <Elladan>   "Bah! No imagination at all.. Mayren would understand, that wonderful woman.. Anyway, lets get the guns run in, shall we?"
8/23/2008 8:27:10 PM <Dracos2>   And so the Blue Rogues set sail, heading through the skies and navigating along the winds...  It was on their second week out that they encountered something different in their skies.  A Valuan warship flying at half mast and in the clouds, seeking to hide itself among the underdraft entirely and out of position for cannon fire.
8/23/2008 8:27:30 PM <Dracos2>   "All men to the deck," The captain howled out, demanding their attention.  "We've got fierce prey today."
8/23/2008 8:29:20 PM *   Elladan looks up from his his scribbled notes, a mixture of math and weigh equasions and an ingredients list for Alchemist's Fire and gunpowder, before bolting to his feet and grabbing his jacket, heading for the deck at a full tilt.
8/23/2008 8:30:04 PM *   Glubtz jerks up, and reaches for his cloak before stopping. "NOW can I go?"
8/23/2008 8:30:55 PM *   Kythaine moves to the rail and takes a good look at the enemy ship.
8/23/2008 8:31:41 PM <Marcus>   "Fierce or tame, they're still prey, cap'n!" Marcus bellows out cheekily as he heads onto the deck along with the rest of their group. "And that leaves us as the predators up in these skies," he finishes saying as he balances his warhammer above his shoulder.
8/23/2008 8:32:03 PM <Dracos2>   There were nearly twenty men and women gathered on the deck for boarding, along with the four of them.  Heelya smirked at Marcus' enthusiasm. 
8/23/2008 8:33:12 PM <Dracos2>   "We're going to give the Valuans a bloody nose for being out this far and rushing.  They have to have something pretty valuable if they're in such a hurry.  Our cannoners are going to lead off.  Once they've stunned the enemy ship I want a full boarding crew in there.  Loot them, and get out."
8/23/2008 8:33:13 PM *   Elladan passes Marcus and Heelya by buttoning up his jacket with a nod to them both and taking his place near the guns with a smile for Mayren.
8/23/2008 8:33:41 PM <Dracos2>   "AYE AYE CAPTAIN!" The many men and women shout, raising their various weapons.  Several waved from the cannons, a well reheresed and oiled crew.
8/23/2008 8:36:11 PM <Dracos2>   The ship dove downwards suddenly, the crew forced to hold on as cannon fire blasted into the side of the valuan warship, chipping an engine fan and slowing the swiftly moving huge ship down.  The first crew swung over with abandon, the ropes returning.  It seemed the four of them would be going next at the same time.
8/23/2008 8:37:13 PM <Elladan>   "Well then, gentlemen, shall we greet our new friends?"
8/23/2008 8:38:44 PM *   Glubtz seems more concerned by fluffing out his beard and adjusting his yellow bandana then swing over with the rope. "How do I look? First impressions are terribly important you know."
8/23/2008 8:39:14 PM *   Elladan eyes his fellow mage critically...
8/23/2008 8:39:48 PM <Elladan>   "Hmm.. Not bad.. I think your cloak needs some new patches, though.. A few bright red would attract more attention, you know."
8/23/2008 8:40:00 PM *   Kythaine jumps onto the rail, grabbing a boarding rope in one hand and holding his sword in the other. "Gentlemen? I thought we were pirates?" he swings over to the Valuan ship.
8/23/2008 8:41:30 PM *   Elladan prepares to jumping, hoping to land on his feet, at least..
8/23/2008 8:41:39 PM <Glubtz>   "My cloak is black!  Death and all, you know.  And wouldn't you know it?  I have no dagger to hold in my teeth," Glubtz finishes glummly.
8/23/2008 8:42:21 PM <Kythaine>   1d20+9
8/23/2008 8:42:21 PM <DiceBot>   Kythaine gets 10 | Raw Rolls: [1] = 1
8/23/2008 8:42:39 PM <Elladan>   1d20+2
8/23/2008 8:42:39 PM <DiceBot>   Elladan gets 3 | Raw Rolls: [1] = 1
8/23/2008 8:42:48 PM *   Glubtz gestures to his remaining companions. "Slender pan, hem hem, tall strong people first!"
8/23/2008 8:43:24 PM <Marcus>   "We're pirates? I thought we were THRILLSEEKERS!" Marcus shouts as he takes a running jump towards the other ship, laughing madly as he does so.
8/23/2008 8:43:27 PM <Marcus>   1d20+9
8/23/2008 8:43:27 PM <DiceBot>   Marcus gets 25 | Raw Rolls: [16] = 16
8/23/2008 8:44:52 PM <Glubtz>   1d20+1
8/23/2008 8:44:52 PM <DiceBot>   Glubtz gets 5 | Raw Rolls: [4] = 4
8/23/2008 8:48:30 PM *   Wyld (~no@c-76-31-161-1.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has joined #Skies_Of_Arcadia
8/23/2008 8:50:44 PM <Dracos2>   On a swift rope Kythaine gracefully sailed the skies, flying with the greatest of ease.  His soft boots landing as he prepared to swing his blades around and....he wasn't stopping.  Indeed, he was continuing to slide on the slick non-level deck flailing for footing before Marcus landed solidly behind him and grabbed him strongly, steadying his agile friend.  Meanwhile, back on the pirate ship's deck...Heelya was shakin
8/23/2008 8:50:44 PM <Dracos2>   g her head as she looked down at the two who'd managed to break their ropes on the swing.  "When we get back, you two are going to be swinging from ropes for a week, now GET OVER THERE!" She kicked Elladan up.
8/23/2008 8:52:27 PM *   Elladan gives the woman a slight glare... Before grinning and making it a point to look her over before taking another go at leaping across to the other ship.. This time for the preservation of his life, most likely..
8/23/2008 8:52:43 PM <Elladan>   1d20+2
8/23/2008 8:52:43 PM <DiceBot>   Elladan gets 11 | Raw Rolls: [9] = 9
8/23/2008 8:53:02 PM *   Glubtz glares at the offending rope, "You shall burn, oh yes..."
8/23/2008 8:53:09 PM <Glubtz>   1d20+2
8/23/2008 8:53:09 PM <DiceBot>   Glubtz gets 7 | Raw Rolls: [5] = 5
8/23/2008 8:54:06 PM <Kythaine>   "Thanks, Marcus.  We seem to have lost out spellcasters."
8/23/2008 8:55:49 PM <Dracos2>   With a howl and squeal, two fumbling mages made their way across as well, landing on their rear.  Normally, this would be quite dangerous, but the senior pirates already on deck were doing a good job of driving back the various guards that sought to assail them.
8/23/2008 8:56:22 PM *   Elladan rolls to his feet, glancing around and brushing his clothes off.
8/23/2008 8:56:26 PM *   Marcus laughs loudly as he yells back at their teacher, "Make them peel the potatoes for a week!" He grins at his companion, and says, "Well, they'll get here when they get her...oh look, here they are."
8/23/2008 8:56:41 PM *   Kythaine offers a hand up to Glubtz.
8/23/2008 8:56:46 PM <Elladan>   "Well then. Lets blow someone up, shall we?"
8/23/2008 8:57:07 PM <Kythaine>   "Preferably them."
8/23/2008 8:57:21 PM *   Elladan nods absently.
8/23/2008 8:57:51 PM *   Glubtz stares at the slender arm distrustfully, before taking it and getting up.
8/23/2008 8:57:52 PM <Marcus>   "Ah, but we're missing our dance partners still, it seems. Guess no one saw your show, you two," Marcus notes, as he scans the area for enemies.
8/23/2008 8:58:44 PM <Glubtz>   "Now I have to work extra hard to strike the fear of Glubtz into our foes," he sighs.
8/23/2008 8:59:20 PM <Elladan>   "Indeed. Let's do some smiting shall we?"
8/23/2008 8:59:31 PM *   Elladan begins to stride off towards the combat..
8/23/2008 8:59:31 PM <Dracos2>   The unimpressive bunch was hardily ignored at the moment as pirates gracefully launched along the deck, the doorway open down into the main ship.

8/23/2008 9:21:29 PM *   Elladan focuses and chants out his Icy Terrain spell, targeting it on the portion of ground that will effect the nearest enemies.
8/23/2008 9:22:40 PM <Dracos2>   OOC: Roll

8/23/2008 9:24:53 PM <DiceBot>   Elladan gets 7 | Raw Rolls: [3] = 3
8/23/2008 9:26:22 PM <Dracos2>   The spell goes astray, missing the set and freezing over a nearby set of deck planks.  Clearly spellcasting on the open deck was harder than he'd given it credit for.
8/23/2008 9:34:23 PM <Marcus>   Spying a soldier that's been manuevered near the rails, Marcus proceeds to run at him, only to slam into him with his shield, trying to push him off the side. (OOC: Tide of Iron AW vs AC)
8/23/2008 9:34:31 PM <Marcus>   1d20+7
8/23/2008 9:34:31 PM <DiceBot>   Marcus gets 17 | Raw Rolls: [10] = 10
8/23/2008 9:37:58 PM <Dracos2>   Rushing forward, Marcus weaved under the pirate's blades and stood up, throwing a quick punch with his shield and sending the man flying off the balcony behind him, screaming as he fell to his doom in the skies below.  "Hey, what are you doing?  Come on, let's go take 'em out," The pirate grinned, only slightly peeved at his target getting one-upped.
8/23/2008 9:39:27 PM <Dracos2>   Before their eyes, the pirates and guards seemed pretty evenly matched, fencing and sword play the call of the day as the pirate's daring leaps and parries were met often by two guards at a time, trying to hold them off.
8/23/2008 9:40:54 PM <Marcus>   "Careful, the fall's a doozy!" Marcus shouts with a playful laugh off the ship's side, not at all bothered by sending a man to his doom.
8/23/2008 9:48:52 PM <Glubtz>   "FEAR the Glubtz!"  He points at the nearest soldier, "May your sons' balls never drop!"  He then crooks his hand, "And now, you shall get smacked by DARKNESS!"
8/23/2008 9:50:36 PM <Glubtz>   1d20+4
8/23/2008 9:50:36 PM <DiceBot>   Glubtz gets 22 | Raw Rolls: [18] = 18

8/23/2008 9:56:33 PM <DiceBot>   Glubtz gets 1 | Raw Rolls: [1] = 1
8/23/2008 9:58:28 PM <Dracos2>   Dark hands of energy stretched out from glubtz...and went over and smacked the soldier with a backhand and then hammer headed him into the ground.  It was ugly.  it was brutal.  It left a little smear where they guy once stood.
8/23/2008 9:59:05 PM *   Kythaine advances toward one of the soldiers, then swiftly spins and strikes at another.
8/23/2008 9:59:30 PM <Kythaine>   1d20+7
8/23/2008 9:59:30 PM <DiceBot>   Kythaine gets 23 | Raw Rolls: [16] = 16
8/23/2008 10:01:01 PM <Kythaine>   3d6+6
8/23/2008 10:01:01 PM <DiceBot>   Kythaine gets 9 | Raw Rolls: [1, 1, 1] = 3
8/23/2008 10:02:37 PM <Dracos2>   Slightly off balance from the regularly shifting deck, Kythaine finds his blade parried by the man, but with a smile and a grin, he's past him, his short sword removed from the man's heart as he falls behind him.
