TURN TEN! WAS IT REALLY NOT THAT PREDICTABLE?!
Before I go to battle I drink that liquid I got earlier!
It's probably poison, but.... >_>
You drink it, and feel imbued with a godlike strength! You just downed a vial of
liquid luck! You now get +2 to all actions for the remainder of the combat! (And by the way, none of you guys are affected by Frelock's horrifying food, only the NPC's.)
Fire a cannon into the other ship while the rest of the crew boards
[1] As you attempt to fire, you notice a short, stubby man on the other ship fire and hit your cannon head-on! [5] The blast engulfs you in a ball of fire! [3] You get some bruises and burns, but nothing serious or distracting.
pray to the gods to be healed
[6] Armok senses much promise in you, and comes to you. He tells you that you will be healed, on the condition that you serve as his champion, in all circumstances. [4] You agree, obviously, and are healed. Join the fray, and don't worry, that champion thing probably doesn't have any bad side effects!
I ready my crossbow and snipe at the humans.
[4][4][6] You hit two in the stomach, and get a third in the face! [3][1][6] You fail to kill the first, and the second doesn't even know you're there. Luckily, the third drops dead. However, his friction lights a match he was holding, and it lands next to a barrel of gunpowder! [3] It explodes in a small poof, but doesn't harm your foes in any perceivable way.
I lob a fireball at a group of hostile sailors that have not yet entered battle.
[6] You miss a trio of them, but you hit some barrels of dwarven ale adjacent to them! [2] It explodes in a fiery ball of death! [2][2][4] Though one manages to narrowly escape, the other two are caught! [1][5] The larger of the two stands, brushing off the dust, blissfully unaware of his dear friend burning into crispy bacon just a few feet from him.
Board the ship like their worst nightmares all come true, with instant lead poisoning for anyone unfortunate enough to stand up to me.
[4] Though it is not as glamorous as you had hoped, you hop up onto one of the planks and charge onto the enemy ship, firing three shots at three separate foes! [6][6][5] You catch one in the face with you fantastic, and seemingly improving marksmanship, and the other two in the groin! [6][6][4] A look of nearly comical pain passes across their faces, and you can soon tell why. It appears their testicles have exploded in a most hilarious manner. Oh, and they're dead, if you really care about that. The third was also cruelly punished, as the musketball ricocheted a few times in his skull, making a simply delectable stew out of his gray matter.
AI COMBAT: Charge and attack Enemy Squad 1!
[6-2=4][6-2=4][3-2=1][4-2=2][4-2=2] The dwarves charge with a mad fury in their eyes, as the terrified humans are overtaken! On the way there, one dwarf trips on the plank! [6] He catches himself, and rejoins the charge! Only two dwarves make contact, catching their foes in the torso! [5-2=3][6-2=4] The more agile of the two dodges around his foe's blow and swings upward, catching him in the chin with a powerful strike! [5] His head is cloven asunder, and the corpse flies into the water, the blood attracting sharks towards the skirmish.
Guard the ship.
They stand fast, unable to fire their cannons due to the fact that a boarding party has reached the enemy ship. However, [3] three among them are marksmen, and each fires a shot at their defending counterparts on the Fugly Duckling! [3][6][5] Two shots make contact, the third being driven to the side by a sudden gust of wind. [5][3] In a feat of amazing agility, the stumpy one, apparently the ship's first mate, catches the arrow meant for him! His fellow pirate is not so lucky, as a bolt lodges itself deep in his throat. He gurgles for a moment, and falls dead on the deck of the ship.
Attack Allied Squad 1!
[1][2][5][5][6] Three of the human pirates make fantastic blows on the dwarves, swinging with a finesse their axes can't match, striking them in the necks! [5][1][4] One misses entirely, but the other two find their marks well enough, and sever the heads of the dwarves. They were too weak to defend themselves, drained by the horrid meal they had downed before battle. The other 3 fear for their lives now, as they seem completely outmatched.
Stand guard!
[3][2] One of their only three archers slain by the enemy's volley, they are too startled to fire back. They can only stand in confusion as the battle rages around them.
Wait for Farceface to show himself.
Though Boozebeard loves the thrill of battle, he holds himself back, waiting for the opposing captain to make himself open to attack. Then he shall strike.
Attack Errol.
The captain finally shows himself, in time to see Axle slay three of his men. He draws his cutlass, and charges him! [5+1=6] He swings with deadly efficiency, making direct contact with Axle's skull! [5][4] Axle barely escapes a fatal blow, as the cutlass creates a massive gash in his face. [4] Though it hurts in a way he didn't know possible, he remains on his feet.
Have deep inner monologue.
Damn, Axle is being destroyed out there! I need to help him! But, my place is with Boozebeard, and he refuses to move! Axle is of a race that is looked down upon by others, just like me. If I were not bound by my fate to my friend, I would save him; oh! what price I should pay to have a second pair of arms, so that I may work in places I cannot now reach!

Exiled by his own race for being a little nuts, he has taken to become pirate. Has an unhealthy obsession with machinery and technology of all sorts.
