Oliver had his hands full but he used the palms of his hands to cover his ears as you shouted out your challenge to the orcs. You could see a few of them snarl at you, but most of them started to seem doubtful. They steeled themselves for battle regardless, but you can smell the hesitation mixed between their various other odors. Shortly after you announced your challenge Derrick, the ship's good doctor, charged off the Kraken and smashed his oil flask into the face of one of the startled orcs. "First blood!" He roars as he follows up with a slash across the orc's chest. It was a shallow cut compared to how he had smashed oil and glass into the orc's eyes. Not one to be showed up, Oliver also charged off the ship, trying to do the same thing. However the orc he fought was able to avoid the flask, likely due to his iron will, but still took a nasty cut across the face by Oliver's scimitar. "I'll make a necklace from your teeth!" The captain of the orcs glared at you, shouting his own challenge as he charged towards you. His orcish aggression allowed him to clear a fair distance, far faster than you'd expect such a lumbering monster of a man. He was even able to leap high off his ship onto yours, bringing his axe down to your body. However inches away from the blade connecting to your head, you could see the glint of your magic shield throw off the orc's blade, causing his axe to narrowly miss you and cut into the hull of the Kraken. The orc snarled at you and roared. "Surrender and you will be taken prisoner! Fight, and you will feed our hogs!" From the other side of the ship, Hector steadied himself as he released a bolt from his crossbow which was able to land right in the temple of the orc that Oliver had attacked. He cheered at taking the first kill of the battle. "Hooha! That one's mines!" Oliver, pissed and annoyed that Hector stole his kill again, raised a foul gesture at him. "Fuck off ya dickless swab! Stop stealing my kills!" Hector just chuckled as he moved to take cover behind the mast, getting rather close to the orc captain who was in the midst of dueling you. Meanwhile Nyx had Nox fly to servery the battle while she summoned a Gust of Wind, this time to blow the enemy away. She managed to launch three orcs off the ship, and one slammed against the side and nearly crushed a gnome galley slave. "Three down! You lads better keep up!" Kulee grabbed his anchor off his back and with Nox's wind at his back, he leapt off the ship right behind the orc that Derrick had attacked. His attack was very similar to the orc captain, except this time Kulee succeeded in killing the orc, crushing his skull underneath the achor's head. "Derrick, duck!" Dropping his maul Kulee picked up the corpse and threw it at the orc behind Derrick. However the literal dead weight was rather cumbersome and weight, and the corpse just uselessly fell in the space between Derrick and the orc. At this point the orcs began their counter attack, though they were already on extremely bad footing due to a mixture of your fearful presence, and your crew's rather hard hitting opening. The orc near the ship's prow was practically scared stiff, but he spotted Tayang and thought him an easy foe. He took out his javelin, and even with a bit of a shaky hand he was able to hurl his spear and strike Tayang in the shoulder. The dwarf just grunted and broke the javelin shaft off. Another orc tried to follow the same lead, but now with Tayang's full attention he was able to easily avoid the spear. One of the frighten orcs took a wild swing at Oliver. The blow connected, but thanks to Oliver's scale armor, the force of the axe was blunted and failed to do any harm. The other orcs who fell into the water struggled to escape it, two of them already sinking. The third managed to reach safety back onto the boat, but dared not to get closer to you beyond his own safety. The last one who had nearly been knocked overboard pushed past Nyx's wind and charged at Derrick, figuring that the smaller human would be an easy target. However Derrick saw him stomping over and was able to duck underneath the orc's wide swing. "That all you got greenskin?" Seeing that Kulee had left his post, Johnathan ran up to steady the ship's wheel. But he would still contribute to the battle as well, using the wheel to steady his crossbow as he sends a bolt into the shoulder of the orc who had attacked Derrick. With his pride on the line, your first mate refused to only allow his crew and you to bare the burden of battle. Taking a mighty leap off the Kraken, Tayang lunged at the orc who had failed to hit him with a javelin. Tayang brought the orc low with his hatchet, and finished him off with and upward stroke which cleanly decapitated the orc warrior. Not finished with just that, Tayang threw his off-hand hatchet at the only orc who had managed to harm him. His weapon cut the orc's chest as the dwarf drew his backup hatchet. "I'm going to kill you slowly." Finally Hurrik calmly looked down at the battle from above. He drew two arrows and sent both of them to the orc attacking Derrick, both hitting but only one doing damage as the first arrow was foiled by the orc's thick hide armor.
