[Dragonfire]

Sorry, updates are going to be slow for the next two weeks. My phone was stolen this weekend, and I have a horrilbe amount of work I need to do for my classes. I'll try to update tomorrow or Wednesday.

That's too bad It's fine though.

[KotZ]

I promise you guys will have an update tonght around 10 my time. Today is the most difficult day for the week and a half so after today updates will be smoother. Sorry for the delay.

[KotZ]

Captain, do you have a map to show us where these raiders last came from? If not, is there any area on the island that would allow the pirates to both land their boats and make it to town fairly quickly? If they're using hit and run tactics like I remember you saying, then we could easily set up a trap for them on the beaches and catch them before they land on shore. At least... it seems far less complicated than, um, training villagers and fortifying the village..."

"I do, in fact," Captain Greyson says as he reaches into a pouch and produces the map. "You see Tridentia here?" Most of the time, their boats approach from the southeast if they're going to make landfall. Only once when they came ashore did they send a small group to flank us. That group crossed across the forest and attacked from the northwest. Otherwise, they've been on their ships at most ten miles north, which is the the direction most of the shipping lanes go."

"I was thinking just dropping a few big boulders in the harbour before they get here."

"That could work."

"So... you'd rather leave the village and its inhabitants absolutely defenceless on the off-chance that you can predict the raiders' actions?"

"We're not here to arm a city that cannot arm itself. What exactly are the villagers going to fight with, pitchforks? Cutlery? Besides, Mayor Morris has told us that these men only occasionally come to shore, and when they do they deploy hit and run tactics, very quick strikes that are used to grab what they can and get out. They mainly attack Tridentia's ships. Why would we focus on arming a village when our focus should be stopping their vessels, and their men, from coming ashore?

"I'm not a big fan of leaving us defenseless. We need some training on the others."

"We could always have some barricades," Rex starts, "and have some armed men here and place the rest of us on the merchant ships."

"Keep going..."

"Well, what we could do is make sure us here are up to snuff. Then Traci and Jackson are assigned to ships and they train their own forces, maybe six or so men per ship. Then you and I lead the defenses on the island. My cannon can do some good work, but if they get close, that would be your specialty. And when some ships aren't being sent out, their defense forces are stationed on the island."

"That could work. Thoughts, Heroes?"

[Dragonfire]

"Well, what we could do is make sure us here are up to snuff. Then Traci and Jackson are assigned to ships and they train their own forces, maybe six or so men per ship. Then you and I lead the defenses on the island. My cannon can do some good work, but if they get close, that would be your specialty. And when some ships aren't being sent out, their defense forces are stationed on the island."

Avalanche begins to nod, "Good idea. Let's start training now. Afterwards, why don't you take half the able-bodied villagers and start work on the barricades, while Traci and Jackson begin training the others on the ships."

[Kintobor]

Annienal sighed. She looked defeated. "Well... I suppose I'm willing to compromise if that's what you all want."

[KotZ]

"Don't think of it as a compromise, Annie. Think of it as... well, I guess it is a compromise."

[Scubacarrot]

Calamity powers up a ball of dark energy. She grins.

"Who wants to start dodge-training first?"

[Kintobor]

"I, um, don't really think that's going to help us. Like, um... at all." Annienal remarks.

[Dragonfire]

Avalanche fidgets impatiently with the head of his halberd, waiting for something to happen.

[KotZ]

Calamity powers up a ball of dark energy. She grins.

"Who wants to start dodge-training first?"

"Oh, I like this already."

"Alright you three," the captain calls out, "form up! Luke, get in there too! Let's see what you can do."

Rex, Traci, Jackson and Luke have left the party.

The four Tridentians all drink down an ambrosia, mulled wine and soma that the captain hands them.

PArty leader, please choose a battle order. Everyone please choose a row and action.

[Dragonfire]

Avalanche feels a warm sensation slip down his throat, sending fire surging through his body and invigorating him with a newfound recklessness. Drawing Frostbite, he attacks Traci from the front row.

[Kintobor]

Annie sighs in relief over not getting hit with the cannonball. "Um, that was a good shot, Rex. You came close. Um, Luke.... Luke?" Annie noticed him on the ground. "Oh dear, um, guys, don't tell Vindsval about this. At all... um, Traci, keep your shield up, and, um, make sure to ice your wounds!"

Annienal attacks Traci again from the front row.

[The Chosen Minifigure]

"Damn it..."

Warlen Repeats all actions.

Same Order

[Scubacarrot]

"What did I say about dodging?"

Calamity attacks Rex with darkness from the back row.

Traci gains 7HP (12+7=19HP)

The Tridentians gain the upperhand this round. Traci manages to call upon Ennoc to protect her friends the next round of attacks. As she does, Avalanche comes in and critically injures her. Warlen succeeds in casting his scroll but Jackson still manages to break through the lines and smash into Warlen. Luckily Warlen’s armor absorbs the blow. Calamity, her attention taken by the unconscious Luke doesn’t see Rex level his cannon at her. In a somewhat cheap shot, Rex brings the mage down.
