Spencer
You decide to go ahead and cut through the labyrinth to reach the center area of the Barges.
The three of you walk up a ramp that leads inside of the first barge, and you find yourself in a narrow corridor, with a short ceiling. It's more like being in a cave than being outside, but you can still feel the breeze slightly through the holes in the walls, and the rocking of the waves that the barge is floating on.
"This place gives me the creeps. I've heard that some of the barges got so heavy, the bottom floors just sunk, and they kept building right on top of them. Probably didn't even check to see if anyone drowned."
"Hey Spencer, you know how to swim, right?"
As she asks, you come across three guys that don't seem to have noticed you yet, and Will pulls you around a corner before you get spotted.
You can't detect evil from any of them. They are wearing brown robes.
Bret
You reach out your hand to them and shout!
[Will save: 7+?]
They stop in their tracks, and with a groan, they turn around and move towards you, stopping just a few feet from you.
You look around, and notice that the other guards have fallen behind. You also don't know where your ranger companion went.
The cloaked figure raises their fists at you.
Robin, Garenth, and Joe
Garenth raises his hands, and magic swirls into an orb in his palm! [Magic missile readied]
Brown turns around and see the half-orc suddenly in his face, and runs over to the red robed figure, reloading his crossbow.
He fires at Robin! [Attack: 18-1 vs. 17: Hit!] The magical armor flashes blue as the bolt passes through, dealing [4] damage!
The Chewing man froths at the mouth!
Robin's hands glow blue as he charges the robed one! [Touch attack: 20!] You jab him straight in the eyes! You deal [8] Damage, and [Fortitude Save: 8+0: fail] 1 Strength damage!
The Red Robed man flails wildly, and backs off slightly!
Joe runs over to the dropped cutlass and brandishes it at the captain!
"Well, this is going far worse than I planned."
The Captain walks over to Joe, and raises his fists before him.
"Come at me, then!"
Garenth: 8 HP [12 AC]
Brown: 0 damage taken
Chewing Man: 3 damage taken [Unconscious: 7 rounds]
Robin: 11/15 HP [13+4 AC]

Joe: 14/22 HP [15 AC]
Captain: 0 Damage Taken
According to some rules I remember reading in one of the supplement books, touch attacks do get critical hits, and sneak attack bonus damage if applicable. Which is why they can be bastardly dangerous if used right.
Also, I can't find the rules on blind and stun, so he's pretty much going to be useless until someone tells me how those work.
