As the Heros continue there assault the few orc's that are left
The captain see the futile effort that is left but continue his attack with frustration again he roars as he brings his sword down on Kerg this time connecting for damage, his blade bite deep into his chest and the Big ord smiles if you call it that ( Hp 12)
Orc 12 follows the other orc off the side and into the ocean with a leap, but does not make the sea before growing feathers
As the spell ends so does the druid as fast as he can also jumps but with style as he swan dives from the railing.

Round 38!
Jozhur shots at Orc 12 but misses due to the -4 penalty firing into melee.
Last round, Yel'kno hits Orc 1 with an AoO that kills it. Yel'kno then hits Big Orc for 7! Meanwhile, Gaston and Tula hit Orc 11 for 13 and Tommy hits Orc 12 for 5.
Kerg strikes at Big Orc but misses.
Coer hurls a javelin but misses due to the -4 penalty firing into melee.
Spire shoots a magical bolt of energy at the swimming Orc 2, for 3 damage.
Sten uses a scroll to put a sphere of fire as soon as the druid appears. (readied action)
Rafe, sorely wounded, does not react at once. [OOC: catch up next post if necessary.]
THE ENEMY
Big Orc attacks Kerg in anger, and hits for a solid 12 damage to Kerg.
The Druid has been waiting for this moment, and sprints for the rail as soon as he can get away from the pit that has just expires. However, Sten has been waiting too. The Flaming Sphere hits the druid, and he rolls his save ... a natural 3, and the druid takes 13 damage from Sten's spell. He then leaps into the water, where his shark companion has been waiting.
Orc 11 is the only one left on the boat, except for the captain. So he dives overboard too.

"Drop your weapon and surrender!" Yel'kno yells to the big orc... but when that doesn't happen he'll give him a poke with his rapier. Yel'kno's skin also takes on a slight withered look like old leather.
Gaston, Tula and Tommy meanwhile will fire at the druid in the water. He could still cause some harm from down there.

Jozhur bumps by Yel'kno and tries to tumble through the grease to get by the big orc, drawing a dagger as he moves. He thrusts at the orc, but the blow glances of the orc's armor.
ooc: 27 reflex save for the grease 20 acrobatics to avoid AoO Move to L11 attack hits AC 22 with +2 flanking, 15 damage should it hit somehow. Not that it really makes a difference, but my attack roll last round was rolled at +3, so it had the -4 already included, I should've mentioned that. I don't like to see slavers get away alive.

Round 39!
Yel'kno calls for Big Orc to surrender, but the pirate captain only laughs. Then he hits Big Orc for 7 more! Meanwhile, Gaston and Tommy hit the Half-Orc druid for 7.
Kerg, down and out, is close to death!
Jozhur tumbles through the Grease and flanks the Big Orc. The tumble DC is 18, so he avoids a blow. Unfortunately, after climbing up and then moving, he has no time to attack. Though he would have missed anyway, so it is moot. OOC: Jozhur, how are you flanking with a dagger from 10 ft away at K10? I'm placing you at L11, okay?
Coer hurls a javelin but misses.
Rafe, and Larien, move up to attack Big Orc too. Larien bites for 5 damage. Rafe, note that you took 13 damage a couple rounds ago! You are down to 22-13 = 9.
Spire shoots a magical bolt of energy at the swimming Druid, for 3 damage.
Sten .....
THE ENEMY
Big Orc sees Rafe as an easy target and attacks him. He hits AC18, a miss!
The Druid mounts his shark friend, and drinks a healing potion as the two swim off fast. The druid is off the map, 175 ft west of the lionfish, traveling at speed 70.
Orcs 2 and 11 try to swim away. Orc 11 dives down and disappears. Orc 2 doggie paddles hither and thither.

Jozhur attempts a feint, but just slides around on his slippery boots. He just thrusts at the orc with his dagger in frustration.
Attack hits AC 22, don't think I'm flanking there so it's a miss. 12 damage. I think I meant L10, L11 is fine since Rafe is there. Thanks!

Coer draws his last javelin and tries to finish off the big Orc, without hitting his friends. His trepidation proves his undoing and the spear does not pierce the enemy's armor.

Sub DM Jon E The Battle For The Lionfish Ends Or Does It!!!!!!!!! Thursday October 4th, 2012 8:10:44 PM
As the Battle rages on Gaston, Tula take aim and shoot at the fleeing Druid even though he is getting a bit out of range. Gaston's arrow goes off to the right and hits nothing but water. Tula on the other hand have a bit better aim, her arrow fly's clean and true and right into the back of the druids head sending him head ofer heals into the sea. His body can just be seen floating in the waves. Sten makes sure dead is dead with a sling and his stone clips the dead body in the back. Tommy sees the druid fly off the shark and turns his attention to the big orb captain, his arrow also flys true and hammers the ugly brute in the chest, he stumbles toward the railing but is met with a arcane bolt too as Spire burns a hole in the beast. He falls dead to the deck of his ship, right on top of the bleeding Kerg his mouth gurgling blood. Coer's Javelin strike harmlessly into the deck well off target but not needed. The grease on the deck also messes up Jozhur but again dead orc's all round mean that this to is not a huge deal.
There is a sudden calm, as the wind dies down and the battle comes to a end, however now the yelling below decks can clearly be heard and the elves and crew on the Lionfish madly bail water from the Lionsfish hull. Even though the battle was won the Lionfish is still in danger and badly in need or repairs . Plus only half the crew is left on board the Lionfish the other half is on the pirate ship.

Drawing out his mace, Rafe misses the Big Orc and so do his eidolon and summoned fire beetle.

Yel'kno heaves the big orc's body off of Kergs and places his mostly diminished wand against the young half-orc's body for several moments to bring him back around. (Assuming we're out of combat rounds, spent two charges of the wand to heal Kerg for 14 damage, wand down to 8 charges)
Once Kerg is revived, he'll give him a slap on the shoulder and help him to his feet, "You're a crazy one. I like it." he adds with a grin before moving to the back of the ship to yell down into the hold, "You on the drums. Your companions are dead or dying. Come up and surrender, take your chance with a swim, or test our steel. The choice is yours... but we will have your key to the rowers."
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 2/12 Thursday October 4th, 2012 9:08:32 PM "Make it quick," Spire adds, his mind racing. "We're sinking, and a squad of rowers could help." He turns to look at the former slaves on the first ship that rammed them. "If you want what we just did to mean anything, get below decks and start bailing!"

Kerg doesn't really move from sitting on the deck of the second pirate boat, and just tries to recompose himself.

My good friends, congratulations on surviving a 40-round combat!
For this scene, please add 1,000 xp!
Everyone gets a hero point. In addition, Kerg gets an extra point for his mighty leap. Coer gets one for being an arrow magnet. Yel'kno gets one for thinking of targeting the enemy helmsman.
Every hero point comes with a 90 xp bonus too.

Sub DM Jon E The Battle For The Lionfish Ends Or Does It!!!!!!!!! Friday October 5th, 2012 10:03:44 PM
The group surveys the scene of the battle Yel'kno heaves the big orc's body off of Kerg and heal him with his wand then helps him to sit up Kerg decides to remain seated on the deck of the pirates ship catching his breath. Jozhur sees that Kerg is tended to, then opens the hatch to the rowers and wait for Yel'kno but draws his dagger for close combat, Yelling choices of death, of swimming, or surender Yel'kno wait at the top of the hatch as well. The Drummer who long since seen the way this battle was going, decide that survival is better then not throws the key toward you, but on the floor in the hold, he has one of the roarer with a dagger to his neck, he grunts I GO OR I KILL and waits. Rafe sees that the Lionfish is in great need of repair, but from where he is on the pirate ship he can do little Sten keeps a eye on the druids body Note The druid is off the map, 175 ft west of the lionfish,
Mean while back on the Lionfish the problems are a bit more serious Spire try to appeal to the former slaves good nature, the 3 that came out to help with the fighting cross over to the Lionfish going below to help but the other remain on the ship still afraid to come on deck. Coer goes below deck to find out how bad things are, He see two rather larger holes now in one one each side of the ship, as well as lots of cracks in the boards around them. There is a fair amount of water in the bottom of the boat still and more coming in by the minute. The elves and what remains of the crew Gaston, Tula and tommy now included are maddly bailing out the water to keep on top of it.
To say the ship needs repairs badly and soon would be a understatement, Says Cato we need to find land and soon, I think with some help I can patch these holes ,capt'n but she will leak like hell

Cato, if you need any assistance I will do what I can. Someone tell the captain we are taking on water.
(Philip) Kerg Halg AC 14 - CMD 19 - HP 2/28 Saturday October 6th, 2012 10:40:41 PM
Kerg gets up eventually and sees that while the chaos of battle is done, the lives of everyone could still be at risk. He doesn't know what to do though, and decides to go around tending to the dead or wounded from the Lionfish, helping them reach somewhere out of the way and safe.
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 2/12 Sunday October 7th, 2012 12:12:41 AM

Yel'kno gestures over his shoulder towards the oceans, "Then go. Enjoy the swim." And he'll step back to make room for the pirate to exit the ship. A dip in the water was a likely a death sentence anyway with all the blood in it. "But if you harm that man your join your friends... only more slowly."
Assuming the pirate vacates the ship peacefully enough, Yel'kno will set about freeing the rowers and then work with the freed slaves and his companions to move the pirate ship alongside the Lionfish and tie them together.
"Sten, do you have any magic that could help with the hull?" He asks the druid, remember his wood shaping spell from the centaur port.
Continuing with the wild assumptions... if they can get the Lionfish fit to sail to a land for a repair.. "Unless anyone else can think of a better idea we should strip one of the pirate ships of provisions and anything else and have the rowers consolidate in one. They can either follow up or we can point them to Rum. As much as I'd like to be able sell the pirate's ship, I don't see how we can get them both to port."
Rafe Thornhill 22/22HP | AC19/15/15 | CMD 16 Larien (Eidolon) AC16/14/16 Sunday October 7th, 2012 9:34:33 PM
Rafe, unsure of what to do, offers to swim back on the back of his eidolon to help crew the lionfish--if that's what the captain wishes.
(Brock) Jozhur AC18/14/13--CMD 16--HP 15/26 Sunday October 7th, 2012 11:50:35 PM
Jozhur silently steps aside, allowing the drummer to leave. He ensures that the rowers are unchained and checks all the dead orcs for valuables on his way back to the Lionfish. Once back on board, he aids in the frantic effort to bail water.
Sub DM Jon E The Battle For The Lionfish Ends Or Does It!!!!!!!!! Monday October 8th, 2012 9:50:16 PM
The drummer slowly moves off the the rail of the boat and as he is allowed to leave jumps from the boat, he leave the roarer unharmed which is not customary ,but hey weirder things have happened.
The roarer now free move the ship so the side of the lion fish and allow it to be lashed to the larger ship for the crew to move back to their ship. There is an overall conciseness that stripping the one ship to repair the Lionfish would work, Cato reports that he can make some temporary fixes for now but you have to immediately return to a port for proper repairs .
The elves continue to bail the bail with the crew, and the group as the repairs are made to keep the Lionfish afloat as the repair get closer to completion the bailing get less and the three orc ask to leave. The two crews or roars that are now free ask to take the other boat and leave.

With the threat apparently over, Jozhur takes a couple minutes to check the fallen orcs on the pirate vessel before returning to the Lionfish.
Before stepping off, he addresses the rowers. "We may be a bit shorthanded after that fight. If any of you wish to join us, I'm sure the captain wouldn't mind. You won't get rich, but I'm sure you'd be paid."

With the hole in the Lionfish temporary patched and the body's of the pirates both striped and thrown to the fish, things seem to be looking a bit better for the group. You can't seem to replace the crew that was lost even with Jozhur silver tonged attempt to persuade them to stay . They still ask to take the remaining vessel and leave. At the last moment before you part ways one orc hails your captain and asks to board your ship seeminly taking Jozhurs offer he grunts I wish join you crew ... the pays better then none or slavery ... Me Grog ..
You check you maps and find that there are two choices that you can pick from is a small island near by that might make be a good spot to repair your ship or you may try to limp to Chessford also a few days sail from here

And the hangover from that "batchelor party"... Do we risk it or make for Chessford?
Coer tries to remember anything about chessford that may be useful (knowledgelocal; 10).
He turns to the new crewman, Grog, eh? Welcome aboard the Lionfish. I am Coerator Asterion, the ship's First Mate. you may call me Coer.
---- ooc: for the newer guys, the group landed on a small isalnd after a storm and ended up having to fight a giant octupus in a non-lethal melee, to escape from some sea elves, who owned the island. We lost. Yelkno is now engaged to the sea elf princess as a penalty.
also,are we tied to the second Pirate ship or are we towing it? need to clear up my mental picture. DM note the second pirate ship was stripped down of most usable wood to repair the Lionfish leaving a hull, if you want to tow it that up to you guys right now its lashed to the side of the Lionfish

Spire cocks his head to the side, looking over at Yel'Kno. "Yel'Kno, let me see that ring. I had completely forgotten about that." The elf walks over to him, taking his hand and staring at the ring. Once he's done with that, he says, "Can we make the port? While I would rather do repairs there, if it isn't an option..." Spire shrugs, pushing his hair from his face. "Well, I'm not married."

Not being much of a sailor, Jozhur doesn't speak up about a repair location.

"I agree with Spire. If we can make it to port, let's do so. We'll likely not manage much more than a slightly better patch job than we already have on an island."

With the choice made the crew set there sails for the port of Chestford
The captain welcomes the new crew member that replaces one of the crew that was just lost in the fight, Grog seams able and goes about his business, professionally taking he orders and doing as asked.
Spire try's to figure out the mysterious ring and comes up with its a fate item called a "Ring of Engagement" but little more and as Yel'kno has already found out it's unremovable at the current time what it does is hard to say though.
As things calm down, the crew starts to relax and go about the business or sailing the ship, it ships sails slowly, but the repairs are holding even at you pick up speeds As the day wares on and the sun starts setting, things are quiet and, Gaston seams to talking to the new crew member Grog, but other then this there is nothing of note.
DM note What are your current watch assignments , and are you going to sail and night or stop ???
More may come later 7-9 pm if able depending on my time thanks again and sorry about the missed post this was yesterday morning post LOL
(Michael) Sten AC 16/12/14 - CMD 18 - HP 32/32 Friday October 12th, 2012 7:56:01 AM
Sten thinks that we should not sail at night with the ship and passengers in this state. Lets try to minimize encounters.
Yel'kno (Jon) AC 19/14/15 CMD 17 HP 26/32 Friday October 12th, 2012 11:59:27 AM
Yel'kno shrugs as Spire is unable to figure out much more about his Sea Elven Ring of Inevitable Castration. "Looks nice at least"
On the voyage he will see to giving the remains of the fallen Lionfish sailor to the sea with the proper rites of a sailor.
He agrees that they should only sail with light for now, but will ask sten and Tommy to keep night watch since they can see in the dark. Otherwise spread the sailing duty equally among the healthy crew, adding in anyone that was wounded after they've been healed.
(Brock) Jozhur AC18/14/13--CMD 16--HP 15/26 Friday October 12th, 2012 2:32:41 PM
"Welcome aboard Grog". Jozhur takes some time to chat with Grog, struggling slightly with the orc's native language. He askes the usual questions, where are you from, how did you become a slave, where do you want to go from here. Eventually he gets to the point,"would you have happened to overhear anything from the ships crew that might be important?"
Sub DM Jon E The Battle For The Lionfish Ends Or Does It!!!!!!!!! Friday October 12th, 2012 8:20:20 PM
As the sun sets Yel'kno sets night watch of Sten and Tommy as they have better night eyes then the rest. You cast anchor and lower the sails for the night. The last of the light fades from the sky and you complete the tasks. Cato is working at some minor repairs but quits as the light fails him. Tula reports all is well and that the crew is healing.
Gaston wanders over to where Yel'kno is giving the crew there orders for the night. There is a look of disgust of his face and a snarl on his lips Capt'n we have a problem, I don't thinks that you be the right man for this crew and this ship, you have shown us nothing but stupidity, we have lost friends and money since you came here and just about ended up in Davy Jones Locker, I want the captains position, YOU ARE NOT FIT TO LEAD US, I challenge you to one on one combat as is my right, He pull his sword from his belt, draw steel or show the true yellow of your belly, cur He waits for the Yel'kno reply

Yelkno listens to gaston with a look of incredulity on his face, but replies with an even voice. "Really Gaston? Now? I take it you would have preferred we have given over or brethren to the pirates to be worked to death and then likely eaten? That did not prove to be a popular opinion with the ret of the crew."
"But if money concerns you, you need to revisit that thought. We've likely taken in more gold from the pirate ships that attacked us than the Lionfish would make in a normal voyage plus I doubled the crew wage so do not speak to me of losing money. By Eberyons rebirth, Gaston it tears me apart the Joansoe didn't make it on my watch, but unless you'd prefer the blood of innocents on your hand there was little choice. Now use you brain a moment and think. Offer your advice if you have it, I'll listen, but don't think this is your only option. But if you wish to fight for the Captain's cabin you're welcome to it. After all, I'm sure everyone knows that skill with a blade translates well in the skill of a leader." (Diplomancy 35 with nat 20 and hero point for +8 to roll) DM Note Nice roll !!!

Jozhur began approaching Gaston, ready to intervene should Yel'kno be attacked. As Yel'kno spoke, Jozhur stopped in his tracks a short distance from Gaston, fairly certain that a confrontation had been averted. Nonetheless, he remains ready to rush to his Captain's aid should Gaston not be swayed.

The most of the group watches the scene happen reading weapons, just encase this turns sour but hold off on any reactions. Gaston Listens to Yel'kno as does the rest of the crew, almost everyone stays where they were or moves away from Gaston, except the new orc Grog he stand in the a few feet away from him a bit confused as to what is going on right now.
Gaston says right after Yel'kno Pretty speeches and flowery words still don't make you a sailor, I cannot serve on a ship captained by an incompetent sailor. We came this close to sinking and having orcs for masters, The way I see it is your yella and a fool and unfit to lead your our crap to the chamber pot, let alone this ship so fight or stand aside, winner to command the wounded Lionfish, loser can swim or take that busted vessel we be towing

The air around the Lionfish dies down to a light brease with the setting of the sun and the night air cools off the deck a bit from the sun but the tensions still run high. The Group ready's attacks against Gaston but holds to see what he does as the two half-elves stand almost toe to toe. Simply not caring for what Yel'kno or the crew is saying Gaston says quietly almost like it was to himself I will be Captain swings his blade at the half-elf with all his might., missing rather badly , I will be Captain he repeats.

Spire stops Coer from bringing Gaston down to the brig momentarily. The elf casts Detect Magic to see if the half elf has had any spells cast on him. He also does a quick inspection to see if he's been poisoned or perhaps isn't well. (Nature: 13) Spire will also claim one of the magical cloaks if no one minds.

When Gaston is in the brigg, Sten will check Gaston's ropes and then zap him with the wand (CLW) once for 1+3 = 4 points of cure. Sten will burn and cast a Detect Poison: Detects poison in one creature or object. Target Gaston.

Sten cures the fellow and confirms that he has no poison in or on him.
The rebel is confined, but a more compelling problem remains. The Lionfish has two holes in her hull, and the elves below are still bailing. The closest port is Chessford on Liontaur Isle. It will take a lot of hard work and skill to get there.

Coer takes gastons limp body to the brig to cool off and rethink his idea of captaining the ship and drops the key with Tula to look after him. Yel'kno sets the night watch and everything calms down. The night is a pleasant one but better for the Lionfish a uneventful one.
In the morning the shy is clear with a good wind making it easy to sail, Cato comes to find Yel'kno Cap we be takin a bit more water on then we would like I think that finding one of these small islands is in order to do some patchin and then we can be off to a real port to proper repairs Tula comes up from below deck just as Cato is reporting to Yel'kno I hate to add to your bad news but "First, when we were rammed by the bloodkin, sea water spoiled a lot of our stores!

Sten will use 2 Wood Shapes to stop the immediate leaks before we sail. Wood 1 cu. ft. + 1 cu. ft./level

Hearing in how much peril they are, Spire helps plot a course to the nearest island. (Kn: Geography 27) "Please let this one be uninhabited..." he mutters as he leans over the map.
Cayzle comments: LOLOL! Now what would be the fun in that? DM Jon I agree but you never know you might get lucky
(Brock) Jozhur AC18/14/13--CMD 16--HP 15/26 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 12:10:00 AM
Realizing he's of little use up top, jozhur rushes to aid those bailing water. He's starting to realize that if he is going to stay in the middle seas he had better learn a thing or two about sailing.
(Michael) Sten AC 16/12/14 - CMD 18 - HP 32/32 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 3:35:57 AM
Sten will also use Know Direction spell if a compass in not aboard.
Rafe Thornhill 22/22HP | AC19/15/15 | CMD 16 Larien (Eidolon) AC16/14/16 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 12:02:58 PM
Rafe continues to help crew the Lionfish, hoping the island they find is not inhabited by zombies--he hated zombies.
Sub DM Jon E Finally over Wednesday October 24th, 2012 8:49:20 PM We have a good week worth off food capt and only one water cast left reply Tula to Coer and Gaston is well as to be expected he is missing a few teeth and you broken his nose, and leg but he will live [/b]
You check the maps and find that there are several island along the way and finding one big enough was not hard for you manage. The Lionfish limps its way to a small island a few miles wide, and circle in shape and it looks to have only in beach that you can see marked on the map and it just happens to be on the side closest to you. You set your course and arrive at the island close to evening the same day.
You find as you sail closer to the beach that is marked you see smoke trail in the sky, it seems to be about the same direction as the beach. As you get closer to the island is mostly covered in palm trees except for the one beach in a small cove from where you are you can just make out that the smoke it is coming from a small building made of wood, the smoke is coming from a chimney in the roof.
You can also make out a small dock that is build into the cove, there are no boats occupying the dock at this time. You are still a few hundred yards from shore,
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 2/12 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 9:08:02 PM
Spire sighs, rubbing the back of his left hand. "It's never simple, is it?" In a poor attempt to make a joke, he goes on to say, "Who volunteers for marriage this time?"
(Mark) Coerator AC16/15/12 ~ CMD 20 ~ HP 24/32 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 9:25:44 PM You worry too much Spire. But I tell you what, if the inhabitants are of a bovine nature then I will take one for the team" says Coer with a cheeky grin.
Coer retrieves his backpack and weapons, preparing to disembark.
Yel'kno (Jon) AC 19/14/15 CMD 17 HP 26/32 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 10:44:18 PM
"I appreciate that, Coer. I'm not sure sea elves approve of multiple wives." Yel'kno says and then has the ship anchor where it is and has the crew prep the smaller boat for the trip to shore. "Let's talk to the natives."
(Brock) Jozhur AC18/14/13--CMD 16--HP 18/26 Wednesday October 24th, 2012 11:53:49 PM
"Heh, hopefully whoever is there is as friendly as those sea elves."
Jozhur suits up and gathers all of his belongings, then waits to head ashore.
(Michael) Sten AC 16/12/14 - CMD 18 - HP 32/32 Thursday October 25th, 2012 12:41:13 AM
Sten gets his adventuring gear and disembarks.
(Philip) Kerg Halg AC 14 - CMD 19 - HP 2/28 Thursday October 25th, 2012 12:54:06 PM
Kerg is happy to get back on land after their harrowing experience at sea. He hopes that they are delayed long enough for him to enjoy the time on the island..
Sub DM Jon E Island Stop off Thursday October 25th, 2012 7:45:27 PM
The party preps there gear and Yel'kno orders a row boat readied. Soon the boat is ready and you disembark from the Lionfish in the smaller row boat and row toward the dock. As you get closer to shore you can hear a lot of yapping and snarling, soon you can make out the source of the noise, Bashing, thrashing and gnash and yelping at the door are 8 huge black dogs about 4-5 feet high and barrel chested the are drooling and foaming as they assault the front door and walls of the building with mindless effort. By the time you make the shore you can also hear someone yelling Back Back Get Lost, Please leave me alone you mutts, it's me you fools, more to less repeating in a loop. The building it self is made of wood and look very well build, The area around the building is all clear and a small garden has been planted off to the left one side of the building. There are several wooden saw horses and a large moss covered pile of firewood is stacked to the right. There is a small well use path leading off over a small hill toward the right side as well. There is nothing else of note to be seen from where you are.
(Mark) Coerator AC16/15/12 ~ CMD 20 ~ HP 24/32 Friday October 26th, 2012 12:13:45 AM
Coer jumps from the row boat to the beach and draws his sword.
Those dogs look like touble and whoever is in the shack needs our help

"I dont think those dogs are well, we may want to steer clear of them, given our condition and their size. Where is that voice coming from?"
18 perception to determine where the voice is. Dm JonVoice coming from the building
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 2/12 Friday October 26th, 2012 10:58:54 AM
Spire grimaces, pulling out his bow. "At least it's straightforward this time. Shall we?" He claps Coer on the shoulder, casting Mage Armor on the monk. (+4 armor bonus to AC for 3 hours)
Rafe Thornhill 22/22HP | AC19/15/15 | CMD 16 Larien (Eidolon) AC20/18/20 Friday October 26th, 2012 12:54:06 PM
Rafe mounts his eidolon and casts Mage Armor on her.
Sub DM Jon E Island Stop off Friday October 26th, 2012 8:07:00 PM
The hounds snarl and bare their teeth in your direction almost as soon as you near the beach with the longboat As Coer grabs his sword and leaps over the side of the boat and on to the beach the dogs start coming your way there is about 60 feet from you to the hut.
Rafe mounts his eidolon and casts Mage Armor on her. Spire claps Coer on the shoulder, casting Mage Armor on the monk.
Coer jumps from the row boat to the beach and draws his sword.
Yel'kno remains on the row boat Jozhur remains on the row boatas well but listens for the yelling Highlight to display spoiler: {you find the sound comming from the house}

Kerg isn't sure he's up to another fight so soon. "Why not just call out and see what is wrong?"
Yel'kno (Jon) AC 19/14/15 CMD 17 HP 26/32 Sunday October 28th, 2012 11:54:54 AM
"Kerg has a point... who's ever in the building might not appreciate their dogs being hurt." Just the same, he'll ready his bow before calling out.
"You in the building. Do you need help?"
(Brock) Jozhur AC18/14/13--CMD 16--HP 18/26 Sunday October 28th, 2012 12:18:16 PM
"Get back in the boat and we can put some water between us and the dogs."
Jozhur nocks an arrow but keeps his bow low.
He calls out to the house, "Call off your dogs. We aren't going to hurt you, we're just here to forage supplies."
(Mark) Coerator AC16/15/12 ~ CMD 20 ~ HP 24/32 Sunday October 28th, 2012 5:49:23 PM "Dog's owner....hmmm...."
Coer turns and pushes the small boat back into the water, hoping to get some distance from the dogs. He jumps back in hoping the dogs owner will call them off.
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 2/12 Sunday October 28th, 2012 11:23:11 PM "Gentlemen, judging by their behavior... I doubt whoever is in that cabin has control over those creatures anymore." Before the boat is pushed away, Spire uses Detect Magic to see if the dogs are giving off any auras.
(Michael) Sten AC 16/12/14 - CMD 18 - HP 32/32 Sunday October 28th, 2012 11:43:01 PM
Sten thinks he should go along and deal with the animals by himself. When he gets to the door of the hut he will cast Calm Animal, dog. Calms 2d4 + level HD of animals.

Sten will fall back and retreat to the boat. So much for friendly animals and a druids relationship with them.

Spire levels his bow on the creatures, aiming at a dog no one else did. A beam of searing heat flies from his longbow, flying at the creature.

"NOOOO!" Jozhur lets his arrow fly before dropping his bow and jumping from the boat to rush the dogs attacking Sten. He lunges hard with his shortsword at one of the rather large canines.
Shot hits AC 20 for 5 damage. Melee attack hits AC 21 for 7 damage. Jozhur attempts to flank one with Coerator, if able melee attack does 17 damage total.

Concentrating on a counterattack on dog #6, Rafe strikes first with his lance, due to reach, then again as his eidolon bites and claws back at the same dog.
AOO vs Dog#6: Hit AC 16, 5 damage
Attack #1 vs Dog#6: Hit AC19, 6 damage
Eidolon attacks: Hit AC5,12,7--misses most likely.
