A crossbow bolt just barely missed him as he escaped beneath the deck. [color=orchid]“I don’t wish to do this, but… I have to swallow my pride.”[/color] Vellen voiced as he descended into the dimly lit area filled with countless eyes. Meanwhile, upon the deck of the schooner, Barboda had successfully hit several of his intended targets. The large canine demi-human with the boarding ax being one of them. He stopped his charge towards the Harem and removed the bolt that hit his arm. If he was of subspecies with duller senses, he might have missed the foreign scent coming off of the bolt. The scent clearly wasn’t a perfume. [color=indianred]“Red potions! Those hit with the bolts, red potions! Now!”[/color] The gruff voice roared to those around him before grabbing a vial from his belt and downing it. The boar demi-human not having been hit, charged forward. He might have gotten a clean jump but the appearance of a large wave stopped him in his tracks. He dug his ax into the deck, and if he hadn’t he might have been washed overboard due to being the closest one to the edge of the deck. The same could not be said for two unfortunate souls. One being a gazelle demi-human, and the other turtle-like demon closely resembling a kappa from Japanese folklore. The rest of the crew were simply stunned by the sudden attack that resembled something that might only be witnessed in a storm. Some of the victims of Barboda’s crossbow shots hit by the wave were unable to consume their red potion, but they still maintained the ability to fight at the moment. The raccoon demihuman who had called the canine and boar earlier was now amongst the rest of their crew with a grapple hook and rope With a grand toss that would make his father proud, he successfully hooked the ship. The raccoon cackled, but it was short-lived as a sonic screech hit him, the canine, and two of the riflemen still fumbling for a healing potion. The canine howled in pain dropping his boarding ax to cover his ears. This time his sharp senses betrayed him. He knelt as he felt as if his skull was being split open with the very ax he dropped on the deck. [Color=limegreen]“Damn it! A siren!”[/color] A lizard woman winced after being hit by the screech attack. She finally had a healing potion in hand and this happened. She raised the potion up to her face only for her entire forearm to be blasted off by the grapeshot fired from the other ship. She screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground. Not only was she frantically bleeding out, but the potion she intended to use was long gone. [Color=gold]“Where's the large potion you had!?”[/color] A light elven man shout over her, a deep wound in his torso from the grapeshot. All the lizard woman did was scream. [Color=gold]“Where's the large POTION?!”[/color] He not only needed it for his wound but the poison as well! Adding insult to injury, the light elf was struck in the head with dark magic from up above. He fell over unconscious until he would inevitably die. A feline demi-human rifleman that suffered a burn to her face from being grazed by the grapeshot fired attempted to rush toward the other ship. She figured she could board it while she had the chance and kill those aboard. She could make the jump and she had always been a great climber so using the rope wasn't necessary. However, mid-jump she was hit by one of the dark fairy's attacks, sending her right into the waters between the two ships. This might not have been an issue except she didn't know how to swim… Only four of the original riflemen we're left. One dark elf was maimed badly by grapeshot but was attempting to fire on the dark fairy with his own bolts of magic from a kneeling position. One who didn't notice that Barboda's bolt grazing his shoulder would spell death soon. And two who had been luckily standing with Rellen who managed to defend against a few of the Harem's assaults. [Center][url=https://youtu.be/8Wr5rYHyTbg[/url]The Comeback Theme![/url][/center] Speaking of, Rellen was ready to turn the tables. There was a reason the bastard Ardyn and his crew were feared on these seas! He eyed the boar demi-human who managed to make a jump for the ship after the mysterious wave that hit their vessel and he had taken note of the demon that was sent overboard. As much as he wanted to go across to the other ship and gut the siren on the other ship, he needed to deal with the rare nuisance flying about. [Color=khaki]“A fae with dark magic! Ardyn would've loved to have one of you… Too bad!”[/color] Rellen swung his sword coated in darkness, sending a wide slashing wave of dark magic in the fairy's way. [Color=khaki]“The rest of you board! Kill all of them!”[/color] Rellen barked to his shaken-up crew. The raccoon, the canine, and four riflemen moved to board the ship. They through their grappling hooks, but that was not the biggest cause for concern as the boar demi-human vaulted himself onto the Harem's deck ready to chop someone in two. Then as if the gods were playing a cruel and disturbing joke, the sound of repeated strikes to the side of the boat not facing the schooner filled the air. With ease, the [url=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/882/189/small/benjamin-widdowson-kappa.jpg?1435219713]demonic turtle[/url] vaulted up with a black antler in each hand. Tufts of fur could be seen, leaving little to the imagination of what the demon had done to his crewmate. The two were on either side of the Harem with more to follow them aboard. Rellen was prepared to face Helio alone. [/color]
