Than those men know of, and be overthrown
By winds that would not even stir a hair…” ~ Tim Powers, On Stranger Tides
The pirate ship to north was gone, blown away or sunk, or perhaps fled to safer waters, due to the storms that caused the wind and water to dance. The Maiden's Bounty along with the Corsair sailed into the edge of that storm and as it raged so did the battle on the deck of the Maiden as heavy rain fell soaking both defender and foe.
Water rolled over the deck as Dorian pulled himself back over the railing. The half-orc, his back at first turned to the knight of vale as he focused on trying to skewer Athan. But he whirled to face him as he heard Dorian's boots hit the deck once again as thunder rolled and lightning struck out in the sea behind the knight, outlining his form in light. His shadow fell across the half-orc and so to did Dawnfire. The half-orc had no further time to move as the knight called for blood for blood. And as the sword cleaved through his side, the blood payment was delivered. The half-orc fell back to the deck dead, as the rain filled his open eyes and then overflowed the sightless sockets and ran down his face like tears.

Mave tries to hit the huge half-orc but the brute is faster than he looks and easily sidesteps her strike. Though she is equally adept and his staff misses striking her by but a hair.
Torvik focuses on the half-elf with the club and slices through his defenses with Volgundar. The man cries out staggering back so frightened by the attack that he tries to flee (free attack). The woman with the gaff hook turns to attack Bramsey delivering a minor cut while Bramsey's attack barely misses the woman
As the Shantyman undresses down to his birthday suit he shouts to Nis, "Cold or not, I'll warm ya up sweetie." He then leaps into the waters between the ships. Nis looks up to see LeCrux before her placing a hand on one shoulder as she says, "Zhan le Devlesa tai sastimasa," as a warmth spreads from her hand into Nis' body.
