Malfiac will continue to wait in the underdeck, silently, eyes fixated on the entrance. His dagger is at the ready, but he shows no sign of moving, even with the sounds of battle now taking place above.

Damn, that light is bright up here! Caltus exclaims and then turns his attention to the little abominations bounding about on the deck, Finally a chance to exercise a spell out in the wild!

Casting a Sleep spell this round, to take effect first of next, on #7. #6 would be my alternate target if my primary is killed before then. - Sleep, Lev 1, range is Sight, resistance is POW (17) vs. CON, duration is 60 minutes - target's CON.
in order to cast spells in combat you will need to make a skill Knowledge, Arcane Lore(68%) roll.

***Rafo, Topside Ship, Fighting Fishmen***

"Darn that net!" Yells Rafo, as he sees his net ball up on the ships deck after missing its target. "Maybe you like the taste of pointy friend instead."With Javelin in hand he jabs at the slimy fishman.
Using the attack I rolled to hit earlier, after the net toss that failed:
Javelin (66%) (melee) [1d100] = 59, Damage [1d6] = 2

Round 2

Caltus begins gesturing elegantly with long fingers and muttering under his breath. Spell check success

Silvia shoots crossbow Silvia shoots crossbow at Kuo-Toa#5 [1d100] = 50
Silvia damage Kuo-Toa#5 [1d6] = 4+2
Silvia major wound on Kuo-Toa#5 [1d100] = 37 and punctures the poor creatures chest. It screams in gurgled pain but continues to fight, turning toward her.
Malcome takes the opportunity to defend his sister. Malcome slashes shortsword at Kuo-Toa#5 [1d100] = 100 and slips in the vile innards from the already downed Kuo-Toa, splashing some of its blood in his own eyes.
Malcome fumbles attack [1d100] = 22

Trying to avoid Malcomes mess, Guard#4 swings Long Sword against Kuo-Toa #5 [1d100] = 89, but he misses horribly.

Axle swings against Kuo-Toa #7 [1d100] = 96 and fairs no better against the two he faces.

Bevil lunges at Kuo-Toa #1 [1d100] = 54 and hits the creature Kuo-Toa #1 takes [1d8] = 4+[1d4] = 2+1
Kuo-Toa #1 is severly damaged [1d100] = 42 leaving a terrible gash in its head causing it disorientation.

guard#5 attacks kuo-toa #1[1d100] = 59 and misses, slashing his sword through the air with a curse.

Kuo-Toa #6 attacks Axel with claws [1d100] = 28 and makes contact, raking the rogue for [1d4] = 1+1 damage, that his armor absorbs.
code:Kuo-Toa #7 attacks Axel with claws [1d100] = 39 and also scores a hit for PbP Forum code:[1d4] = 4+1 damage which leaves blood trickling down Axles face from three gashes.

Kuo-Toa #3 attacks guard 3 with claws [1d100] = 62 but misses.
Guard #6 swings his sword in a wide arc [1d100] = 67 but misses the slippery sea devil.

Kuo Toa #2 scrambles for it's lost spear Kuo-Toa #2 dodge [1d100] = 39 as Rafo and Thorgrim easily bury their weapons in the tumbling lizard, finishing it off.

Actions and rolls for round 3 please.

for those of you who remained below deck
The sounds of something heavy thumping the side of the ship are followed by many running boots on the decks above. Men yelling is soon followed by unearthly screeching, as the sounds seem to scurry back and forth above your heads. It is obvious the ship is under attack. Even as you listen in anticipation, the sounds of something grinding against the hull can be heard about mid ship.

Malfiac looks to those who are below deck, seeing what they make of the situation. He is now on the lower steps of the stairs heading up, preparing to bolt to one floor or the other if the situation demands it. The grinding sounds on the hull do not sound encouraging and Malfiac is not quite sure what is causing it...

Kuo-Toa #7 slinks to the deck at Axles feet, unconscious.
Silvia cocks her crossbow and fires at Kuo-Toa#5 as it approaches her stairs.
Silvia shoots crossbow at Kuo-Toa#5 [1d100] = 39 and pins the creature with a bolt as it howls in pain before falling to the deck, lifeless.
Silvia damage Kuo-Toa#5 [1d6] = 3+2
Kuo-Toa#3, seeing the tide of battle turning, give a howl and turns to flee toward the oceans.
Kuo-Toa#1 and #6 follow suit.
Malcomb scrambles to recover his sword and clear his eyes of gore.
Axle screams "Leaving so soon? We've only begun to spill blood here!" and brings his axe to bear on the fleeing creature and connects!
Axle swings against Kuo-Toa #6 [1d100] = 45
Axles axe does [1d6] = 2+1 damage, but the kuo-toa continues to flee.
Guard#1 finally gets a clear crossbow shot at Kuo-Toa #1 and fires [1d100] = 87 hitting nothing but decking as the rest of the guards put up a cheer at the retreat and eminent victory.

Rafo and Thorgrim ,however, push the attack. Rafos spear skewers through the back of Kuo-Toa #3 and Thorgrims axe finishes off the beast as the dwarves work in a tandem attack that seems bred to their race.

Image

The remaining conscience Kuo-Toa will clear the deck in movement phase of next round unless archers or Caltus step in. Otherwise next round actions and rolls please.
Below decks action coming soon.

***Rafo, Topside Ship, Fighting Fishmen***

Rafo, looking over at Thorgrim, passes him a slight smile. Seeing the last of the fishmen dash toward the safety of the dark water, Rafo runs over and grabs his hunting net. After securing the net he readies it, along with his javelin, just in case more trouble rises from the depths.
He will steady himself against the raised wood planks that are near guard #3 & #4. Something that will help keep his balance.

Below Decks

At the stairs to the topside decks waits Kana, Malfiac, Edario, Gera, and a merchant named Sand.
As the grinding sound from below begins Kana and Sand rush off to see what it is.
Long minutes later, a cheer rings out from men above. For a moment those gathered below wonder If the crew thwarted an unknown foe or If perhaps pirates above celebrate taking the ship, but then unmistakable laugh of a dwarf bellows above the rest.
Kana rushes back to the stairs and announces to the rest:
"Something is amiss! Strange noises come from the cargo hold below! "
The rest rush to follow her.
Malfiac?

Malfiac shall assist the group around him. He gives a quick nod and follows, technically following his previous set of order and remaining below deck. He remains silent but shows a readiness for battle, with dagger in hand.

As the group gathers around a hatch about midship, the sound of grinding can be definitely be heard louder.
Light illumination can be seen from dim lanterns below, casting shadows on crates and bags, but little else can be seen from this vantage. A rope ladder descends from where you stand.
"Dats bein where dey be storin da goods fer Elizabeth Bay." says Duncan, the ships cook.
"Aye." exclaims Sand, the merchant. "And my life savings in goods as well!"
"Were any animals brought on board? Maybe its rats?" asks Gera, but no one seems to know.
The grinding continues.
