Ghosts of Saltmarsh OOC

That sounds like a good idea. Just make sure we are all aboard first, so they don't just sail away.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Yeah, you all can make sure you're aboard before saying something.

Could you make an Intimidation or Persuasion check?

EDIT: You can take advantage on this roll since the whole party is backing you up.

EDIT2: Rolling Initiative would probably help too, even with a good check a fight is likely to break out sooner or later.

Init check, for when it matters. :)

Initiative: (1d20+3)[15]

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Combat has started but the regular crew members don't look as sure as their leaders. Crew members will do nothing on turn 1.

We'll need initiative rolls for anyone who hasn't rolled yet. Yue and Sapphire will definitely get turns before any smugglers acting this round. Up to you if you want to wait for your party members to roll initiative or if there's something you know you want to do first.

[Izzarra]

Are the leaders close enough together that I can get all of them with Faerie Fire?

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Not all of them. One is on the deck by you (within 20 feet of you or so) the other two are on an upper deck (near enough to each other but not close to the main deck guy).

[Lioslaith]

Initiative roll (sorry I was out of town)

(1d20+1)[3]

[paradox26]

Here is my Initiative check. Posting IC now.

(1d20+1)[6] Initiative.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Caspian's turn, Eva gets a turn and is not yet in turn order.

8 Damage to Yue
It would be a hit on Eldryn, roll to try and shift it to a duplicate.

[paradox26]

(1d20)[18] Roll to move hit onto duplicate.

Eldryn successfully moved the hit onto a duplicate, reducing number of images to two.

[Izzarra]

Snake Eyes draws a hand crossbow and points it at Yue.
To Hit: (1d20+4)[22]
Damage: (1d6+2)[8]

Concentration Save: (1d20+1)[20]

It doesn't matter this time because he missed anyway, but does Mr. Red Sword have advantage from somewhere?
He should be rolling at a disadvantage due to Heat Metal's effects.

... He should not. I'll keep that in mind for next round (if he's still holding that sword).

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Lioslaith, you can get to either of them. Any preference between Bjorn and the Captain? Bjorn is damaged, the Captain is not.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

I ended up deciding for you. The crew members are going to join the fight for now.

[paradox26]

Are we at the top of the round again?

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Yeah, we wrapped to the top of the round.

[JNAProductions]

What shape are the enemies in? Do they look hale and hearty, bloodied, almost dead?

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Caspian takes 9 damage from a light crossbow, but the leadership cannot hit anything I guess. Eldryn's turn.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

What shape are the enemies in? Do they look hale and hearty, bloodied, almost dead?

The First Mate (Bloody Bjorn) seems to barely be holding on, but he also looks like he doesn't know the word "retreat".

The Captain and Wizard are OK for now.

The crew members are all full health and fighting, though from what you said at the start they seem like they're more scared of their leaders than you.

[JNAProductions]

Good to know. Good. To. Know.

Gonna keep Concentrating on Heat Metal because screw that first mate, but I'll also toss a Frostbite onto him.
(1d20)[19] Con Save from first mate, add modifiers as appropriate. DC is 14, on a failure, (1d6)[4] cold damage and disadvantage on his next attack.

Edit: Unless he has a -6 modifier, I think he passed. :P

[paradox26]

Nice attack roll, then an absolutely useless damage roll.

[JNAProductions]

Nice attack roll, then an absolutely useless damage roll.

That was a save roll. For the enemy.
So... Not so nice. :P

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Caspian's turn. Eldryn got his with Melf's Acid Arrow for 10 acid damage now and 6 at the end of your next turn.

[paradox26]

That was a save roll. For the enemy.
So... Not so nice. :P

I meant my turn's rolls. I rolled a good attack roll, then a poor damage roll.

Oh, garch!

Well, hey. Better than nothing. :)

(1d20+0)[15]
(1d20+0)[3]
(1d20+0)[18]


Haha, don't worry about these, it's definitely nothing important.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Caspian takes 4 damage from a spiked shield (I believe the 22 hit, even with shield of faith) and 3 Lizardfolk pirates enter the fray.

Yue and Sapphire are up.

[JNAProductions]

What's the general positioning of the peeps we're fighting?
