Boomingham keeps his shield raised, nothing would get through. The two former paladins run to the front and both raise their cutlass, ready to block if anything got through regardless. Atramor is home on the ship's decks, and slashes at Buggerer, leaving him weakened, shortly after Nyx slings a dark spell at the same Orc, who desperately tried to attack Skrall, but failed because of Boomingham. Atramor jumps backwards and throws a fine, green powder at Barnacle, who clutches his eyes when the poison does it's work. The rat jumps at Bob, but is sliced in half in mid air by a grinning Mac. Rufindel recovers from healing so much in the last round, and does not quite heal Atramor, while Ellaria and Whales double team on one of the orcs, who almost hit Ignacio just before, knocking him around with staff and cutlass. Buggerer succumbs to the poison, and Blackpeg takes double poison damage, and Barnacle takes some poison damage. The party is still under Boomingham's protection, and they face less enemies now.

[CMP]

Atramor draws away from the forefront of the battle behind Boomingham's shield. He stows the flail back into his cloak, instead drawing, with a cruel metallic ring, the Sword of Ancestral Hatred.

"I've done my part in this battle, and damn well, if I might add, Boomin'ham. Since we're pretty much cleanin' up the trash at this point, I think there's a few opportunities I can take..."

He swipes the deadly weapon at Bosun from the front row. If Bosun doesn't fall, he'll repeat the attack. If he does fall, he'll attack Slaver Orc A from the front row with the Heavy Flail.

Jacob maintains his Protective Stance, but presses it to his advantage, jabbing at Blister from the front row.

[Pandora]

Nyx hops up and down a bit as Buggerer quite literally hits the deck. Her grin widens as Mac slices and dices the smelly rat, and with Boomingham and the ex-paladins forming an impenetrable wall of defence, she maintains her dancey-stance in the front row.

"Mac, thank you for ridding us of the rat, certainly an impressive show of steel, sir. May I now direct your attentions to Slaver Orc E? I think he would benefit from the judicious application of your cutlass.

I shall take the advantage to use my talents against Blackpeg. He seemed to enjoy my Darkness magic, and I seem to have gotten to grips with this Fishywishystick."

[Rufus]

OOC: Scuba, as we are protected from harm this round, if I use the Malfunctioning Staff and it goes wrong, does that mean I don't take any damage?

[Scubacarrot]

OOC: Scuba, as we are protected from harm this round, if I use the Malfunctioning Staff and it goes wrong, does that mean I don't take any damage?

Yes.

Also, little tip, when you are healing, you might as well use the Malfunctioning Staff, since the effect can only trigger when hitting.

[Sandy]

Ellaria and Whales repeat their actions.

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall switches his forward assult to Barnacle as Ignacio repeats his attack.

[Zepher]

"I've done my part in this battle, and damn well, if I might add, Boomin'ham. Since we're pretty much cleanin' up the trash at this point, I think there's a few opportunities I can take..."

"No questions there, chappo. Why don't you take out both Blister and Bosun? It would sharpen your skill even more to dance with those two to the death. Lorenzo, Bob, would you do me the favor of cleaning up Orc B? Nyx, I'll be joining you in making sure Blackpeg is dead as dead can be."

"Oh, I'm savin' him for next round. Even if I hit my hardest, he'll succumg to poisoning rather than to the blade itself. And I don't want that hapennin'."

[CMP]

Atramor suddenly realizes Boomingham's point. He leaps ahead of Jacob, sending the ex-paladin spiralling into Slaver Orc A from the front row.

The witch continues attempting to finish Bosun from the front row with the Sword of Ancestral Hatred first. If he fails, he does so again. If he succeeds, he attacks Blister from the front row with the sword.

Sorry for the double post, didn't notice you edited their health.

[Rufus]

Lorenzo, Bob, would you do me the favor of cleaning up Orc B?

'Boomy, do you mean Orc D? B is already dead.'

Christian lunges at Orc C from the front row. Meanwhile, Rufindel whips out his Malfunctioning Staff, which fizzles and crackles unnervingly, and smashes Orc A from the front row.

Ellaria vs. Orc E - Special Damage(No Special Guard) (No Effect)

Rufindel vs. Orc A - Damage (No Effect)

Boomingham sees the success of his shield, and valiantly keeps blocking everything. It's quite impressive. Bosun throws out his chain towards Atramor, but Boomingham's shield blocks it before it can hit the target. Atramor then uses his voodoo magic to manipulate the chain, and he sends it flying towards the Orc, it hits him on the head, and Bosun falls overboard, the heroes don't see him come up. Atramor then throws some more of his poison in the face of Blister, the orc with the drum. Nyx channels dark magic through her fish... thing, and with all her might she brings it down on the Orcish slaver. He falls, his face bleeding from under his turban. The remaining orcs see their leader fall, but keep fighting. Jacob, Ignacio and Whales succesfully defend themselves, and Christian, Captain Lorenzo, Bob and Mac deal some damage. Skrall hits Barnacle, denting his armour due to the sheer force of the blow, and Ellaria wards off one of the Orcs with her staff. Rufindel attempts to try out his questionable staff, but fails. Blister and Barnacle take poison damage.

Atramor continues his furious attempt to decapitate Blister from the front row with the Sword of Ancestral Hatred. (If he succeeds in killing him the first attack, he uses the Heavy Flail on Orc A from the front.)

Any chance we can autoplay, since we can't take damage anyway?

Jacob doesn't falter in his assault, despite his failure to hit Orc A from the front row.

[Sandy]

Despite their failures, Ellaria and Mr. Whales continue to charge at Orc Slaver E from the front row.

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: (20x3)-30=30 damage dealt.

While Leojagd had put a sizable dent in Barnacle's armor, the orc wasn't going to go down easy. The hilt of the blade was starting to feel good in Skrall's hands as he advances again from the front row. Giving the great sword another experimental twirl, Skrall brings the blade in an over head cleave down upon the orc's head.

Ignacio, having defended himself from the swinging mace of Orc C, again launches himself at his adversary from the front row. "May Neron and Neredice judge you for pursuing so vile a trade in their realm!"

[Zepher]

Boomingham sighs and swings his sword at Barnacle, advancing with Skrall.

Lorenzo and Bob, meanwhile, turn their attention to Orc C.

OoC: If I do end up with Guardian Stance again, I think it would be okay to auto-run the round.

"So long Blackpeg! " Nyx continues her hopping and grinning while working loose her arms muscles, not always visible beneath her Magely robes. "Right, which smelly Orc is next? I know, maybe all of you! Now if you could all stand still please, this might hurt a lot, but not for very long. "

"Mac, care to double team with me on Orc A? I think now is a great time to try out my Explosive Staff, and I'll stand right next to you in the front row while I cast my Darkness magic. Gut him like a fish Mac! I want to see what he looks like on the inside. "

[Rufus]

Rufindel is not lucky.

'Christian, care to join me in bashing that Orc D?' The pair advance on the weakened Orc from the Front Row.

Results of Round Nine of the High-Seas-Pirate-Orc-Slaver-Battle.

Boomingham vs. Barnacle - Hit/Hit (WP: 9 + Level 19 + 4 Power x 2 x 2 = 128 = 30 = 98 Damage dealt, KO)

Atramor vs. Blister - Special Mirror (Roll 3, Blesses all Allies for next round, mirrored = same for Heroes)

Atramor vs. Blister - Poisoned Hit (WP: 5 + Level 22 = 27 Damage dealt, KO, +1 WP)

Skrall vs. Barnacle Orc A - Critical Hit (WP: 20 x 2 + Level 21 = 61 Damage x 3 = 183 Damage Dealt, KO)

Nyx vs. Orc A Orc C - Damage (No Effect)

Lorenzo vs. Orc C - Damage (No Effect)

Bob vs. Orc C - Damage (No Effect)

Ignacio vs. Orc C - Damage (No Effect)

Whales vs. Orc E - Miss

Mac vs. Orc A Orc C - Hit/Special Damage (WP: 5 + Level 15 = 20 Damage Dealt)

Jacob vs. Orc A Orc C- Hit (WP: 5 + Level 15 = 20 Damage Dealt)

Christian vs. Orc D - Critical Hit (WP: 5 x 2 + Level 15 = 25 Damage Dealt)

Ellaria vs. Orc E - Damage (No Effect)

Rufindel vs. Orc D - Critical Hit (Malfunction, No Effect)

The heroes keep driving the enemies back. Boomingham steps out from his protective stance and slices straight through his opponent's armour, killing him. Atramor again copies the Orc's beats, and everyone in the battle is blessed and will restore 3 health at the end of the next round. Atramor then thrusts his sword forward, instantly killing the Drummer. Skrall has to change targets, but it is no problem, and he fires a large bolt that pins his target to the floorboards, dead. Nyx, Ellaria and some of the crew take refuge behind Boomingham's shield. Mac and Jacob deal some damage to one of the Orcs, and Christian does as well. Rufindel prepares to bash an enemy with his shady staff, but the ornament on it begins to crackle, and Boomingham is just fast enough to put his shield in front of the orb and Rufindel's face, deflecting a bolt of blue energy that surely would have hurt otherwise.

[CMP]

Atramor's eyes seem to flash, a feral grin on his face as he steps backward, carelessly tearing the Sword out of the drummer-orc's chest as he pounds his feet on the floorboards in a manner reminiscent of the divine melody. The blade seemed almost....satisfied, as the lifeless corpse of Blister slid off of it. The edges, sharper, the balance, better. McCafferey couldn't help but put in a short comment.

"That is a...hungry weapon. Feed it."

Pleasantly surprised at the effects at the weapon's first kill, he went to prepare for its second. Stepping from around Boomingham's shield, he lunged at Slaver Orc D from the front row, sweeping the Heavy Flail from his cloak. Twisting with ease thanks to his temporary haste, he then whipped the Sword of Ancestral Hatred across the same slaver's orc-standard face, again from the front row.

Meanwhile, Jacob leapt over Boomingham's shield enthusiastically.

"Hey Christian, watch this! Ennoc's Fury Uppercut!!!"

He proceeded to flourish his cutlass wildly at Slaver Orc C from the front row.

"That was so badass. Feel the light, orc."

Edited September 27, 2012 by CallMePie

[Zepher]

Boomingham eyes Atramor and his swordplay with interest.

"We'll have to try some sparring some time in the future. You aren't half bad... but I can still teach you a trick or two," Boomingham chortles. He then turns to his most faithful companion. "Let's always bring along a Witch, shall we, dear?" he asks Nyx before he, Lorenzo, and Bob all charge forth and attempt to finish Slaver Orc E.

[CMP]

"Aye, that we will. Though your fightin' style's far different than mine," Atramor remarked, as Boomingham led Lorzeno and Bob into one of the remaining orcs with unrestrained strength.

[Pandora]

Nyx looks at her staff with annoyance, was he mocking her even from so far away? He mind drifts of and wonders what he's doing, but Boomingham's comment draws her back to the here and now. She giggles a little, before replying.

"He's useful, isn't he? I've had the... pleasure... of seeing him evolve and I must say his Witchiness suits him well and he uses it effectively. Plus he's far less annoying than he used to be. "

Nyx once more looks at her Explosive Staff, and a look of determination settles on her face. The only way was to just keep trying, and there was still the opportunity to do so. Despite Boomingham lowering his shield, she stays in the Front Row and charges Darkness magic at Orc D.

Mac once more shows an impressive display of swordsmanship with his cutlass, switching his attack this time to Orc E

[Waterbrick Down]

Skrall tears Leojagd out of Orc A's body, waiting a brief moment for Nyx to release her spell he also lunges at Orc D from the front row. "Ignacio, yer with me this round. Let the witch deal with the other one."

[Sandy]

"Look, Mr. Whales! We've almost defeated all of them!" Ellaria says, trying to raise the spirits of the old sailor. He hadn't had much luck hitting the enemies thus far.

Together they charged at Orc Slaver C from the front row.
