Turn 10 - They be everywhere!Grab a Sharp object, and go on a Rat-Hunt with heart-stabs in mind. Attempt to band the troops together- A united army stands, while a divided mess falls.
(2) Yer commands fall unheard and unheeded, what with yer not bein' the Capn' or even an accepted member o' the crew. (3) Ye do grab a shard o' shattered timber, though.
Continue spinnin' thing!
(2) Aye, ye be unable to stop whirlin', though ye don't hit anything.
NOW, COME AT ME, YE UNNATURAL FREAKS! COME HAVE YE BREKKIST OFF O' ME MUSKET AN' AXE!
(3) With a great crack, ye send another filthy rat burnin' ta hell, pierced by the silver musket ball. Sadly, ye fail to land a killin' blow on th' nearest one with yer axe, but ye do stop 'im fr'm throttlin' the Gunnery-Officer.
Repair tha ship if'n it need fixn, otherwise reload and help out tha crew
(5) Ye manage to reload just as th' mongrels come swarmin o'er the rail an' onta the deck, firin' right through th' mad eye o' one of them as it charges ye. The shot goes through and catches another, sendin' em both to a fiery grave!
"Son of an 'ore!"
Draw steel, cut the bastard off me!
(Equipment roll=3) The only sharp thing ye've got on ye be an eatin' knife in yer boot, but th' blunderbuss be at yer belt! (4) Ye bring 'er up, an' with a deaf'nin' BOOM ye turn the thing's arm ta mulch! Sadly, it don't burst into flames, but it sure as hells lets go o' ye!
Attempt t' alert someone of th' aboma..
abomb..
thingy on th' ship.
(3) At this point ye figure yer mates prob'ly know 'bout those, so ye figure keepin' inside till ye formulate a plan be the best... plan.
Firre be a successful diplomacy tactic! Look fer 'nother burnin' object. Then prress the deal onto t' monstrrosities with it!
(5) Ye wipe up the spilled, flamin' oil with the blade of yer scimitar to keep it frm' burnin' the deck, (4) then cut the nearest head fr'm it's shoulders. The fire most likely did not make that more deadly, but ye figure it... lent consid'rbly t' the Ethos, as it were, of yer statement.
Arr, I be bandagin' my hand, and then informing the rest of the crew that I be open for business keeping them alive.
(5) After applyin' a quick wrappin', ye swing open yer door (sendin' one o' the boarders sprawlin' ta the deck as it smacks 'im). "ANYONE BE IN NEED O' MEDICAL ATTENTION?"
What invaders 'ave now managed to climb onto the' deck try to overwhelm ye. (1) One steps in th' remainin flamin' oil, catchin' a foot aflame and jumps o'erboard, dislodgin' some o' his fellows as he falls. Another walks right into the whirlin' savage, sending him careenin' into the one Dr. Davy knocked down.
(1) The 4 Gunnery-men have their rifles wrested from their hands!
(4) Yer ship still be safe fr'm the flames on th' other ship's deck.
