Men of the Internet! TRIPLE N IS OVER! The month was long and the challenge hard. To those who faltered, I wish you better luck next year. And to those who stayed strong, I say... enjoy your freedom!
Talogan led the way down below deck, his eyes darting constantly from side to side in search of any sign of a potential ambush or for anything of value. There was nothing much to speak of immediately below deck. Merely a dining area and some sacks of canvas. Talogan motioned for his crew to continue on and descend deeper into the ship. It was then that they reacquired contact with the enemy. Talogan thought there were only two sea goblins to deal with, but then movement from the corner of his eye alerted him to a third. "Mr Collins. Mr Johnathon. Take care of that one" Talogan commanded while pointing out the sea goblin by the sacks. Talogan then charged the sea goblin directly in front of him and buried his rapier in the sea goblin's stomach, twisting the blade as it sank to the hilt.
Crew Orders: Talogan orders two of his men to engage the sea goblin at square C13. Movement: Talogan moves to square B14. Action: Talogan attacks the sea goblin at B15. He hits with a natural 20 and deals 11 points of damage.
"I was willing to believe those traitorous wretches had, at the very least, the smallest shred of bravery left in them" Talogan said as he holstered his cross bow and took hold of his holy amulet "But I see now that expecting courage from a heretic is like expecting a bugbear to stay wake on guard duty". With that said, Talogan began to speak a prayer to Maglubiyet in goblin, causing a shimmering field of holy power to form around him. Talogan then looked back at the crew still manning his ship. "Ms Orocho! Mr Fishbones!" Talogan called out "Get over here and douse these flames! I don't want to come back up topside to see that the fire has blocked our way off. And come pick up these elves while you're at it, make sure they get settled in sufficiently". Talogan then addressed the Boarding Party. "Ready your blades, men" Talogan said "Dr Boulder, keep in the middle. Mr Iron Guts, bring up the rear. The rest of you can go where you want. Show no mercy down there, for none shall be shown to you". With that said, Talogan made his way below deck, leading his Boarding Party into the final push.
Crew Orders: Talogan orders the Boarding Party follow him. He orders Derrick to the middle of the group and Tayang to the back. Talogan also orders Kulee and Nyx to lock the elves in the brig and put out the fire on the merchant vessel. Bonus Action: Talogan casts shield of faith on himself. Movement: Talogan leads the way down below deck.
"We'll deal with them later, Mr Iron Guts" Talogan said "We have more pressing matters to concern ourselves with right now. Get someone to put out that fire and have the rest of the men take up positions around the door with crossbows at the ready. Anyone who emerges from below deck is to be feathered with bolts". Talogan then took up a firing position near the door and readied himself to shoot anyone who came out.
Movement: Talogan moves to square P9. Action: Talogan prepares to shoot anyone who emerges from below deck.
Watching as the last two sea goblins retreated into the ship, Talogan growled at their cowardice. "Whatever they're after, they won't be getting away with it!" the captain declared "Mr Fishbones! Ms Orocho! Mr Balannor! Stay here and watch the ship! The rest of you prepare for boarding action!".
Talogan noticed that despite missing any of the crew, the sea goblins were still holding onto the ropes attached to the harpoons. Pondering on there methods wasn't going to kill them any time soon though, so instead Talogan put a bolt into the goblin that tried to impale him. "Dr Boulder! Mr Iron Guts! Take cover behind the mast once you're done shooting!" Talogan then ordered "The rest of you move back until there's 40 feet between you and the closest enemy! The harpoons will be less accurate at that distance!". With that said, Talogan put an extra 20 feet between himself and the closest sea goblin.
Action: Talogan fires a crossbow bolt at Sea Goblin 1B. Hitting with 18 and dealing 4 damage. Movement: Talogan moves to square E11.
Talogan watched as his crew cast their flasks of oil onto the ship. While it didn't do much to the ship itself, the burnt ropes only adding insult to already crippling injury and the deck fire proofing halting the spread of blaze. But none the less, the morale of Koalinth had been shaken by the sudden flame. Talogan growled in annoyance as he saw the enemy take up their captives to use as living shields when they should have been drawing their weapons and preparing for battle like true hobgoblins. Such cowardly tactics used by what once were his own kind disgusted Talogan to no end. "COWERING BEHIND YOUR CAPTIVES WILL NOT SAVE YOU!" Talogan roared in goblin "NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU NOW!". Having said that, Talogan took aim with his hand crossbow and fired, striking one of the sea goblins in the shoulder.
Action: Talogan fires his hand crossbow at a Koalinth. He hits with a 20 and deals 4 points of damage. Initiative Roll: 21
