Is this still going on? If so, would you mind another player?
It's still going, there's just virtually nothing to talk about right now. We were going to get a rogue/bard character, but something else is fine too. The current party rundown is on the first post, minus Merrian Skye, that was the one that dropped out. It's still mostly up to Criptfeind though. If you manage to get in before the next session, you'll probably be on a different boat than us, and be assigned to us or something I guess. That's completely up to Criptfeind though.
Also, it's kind of funny that we don't have anybody neutral on the law-chaos axis, and only one nongood (Ulf), and only one lawful (Glacius). CN, CG, CG, and LG. Maybe Glacius should be NG, it kind of fits him better anyway.
Nobody has written a summary of our last session, let me just do that now.
We open to see the five FOUR heroes aboard a ship, one of three in a mission to explore Xen'drik. The journey will take seven days, and the one the heroes are on is more filled with cargo than crew, considerably smaller (I assume this to be true, since there was virtually nobody on our ship, but Criptfeind says there's ~200 fighting men each on the other two ships), and is about a day ahead of the other two.
Disaster strikes three days into the journey. Two of the heroes, Ulf and Arman, wake to the sounds of battle, to find that their ship has been attacked by what are best described as "blue aquatic goblins" (I have no idea what they are), and an assortment of rather large crabs. They quickly dispatch the first few creatures, and their crabs.
However, one of the creatures retreated into the kitchen, and held the cook hostage. Ulf opened the door, and him and Arman went up the stairs to deal with an even larger crab on the main deck. Rorakar, who just emerged from his bedroom, quickly forms a plan, and tells the creature that he and Glacius are leaving. While Glacius heads up the stairs to help deal with the crab, Rorakar sneaks off to the side and prepares to shoot the creature as soon as it leaves the kitchen.
Glacius comes up to the deck to find Ulf and Arman engaged in battle with a giant crab. The first thing he does is use his Draconic Breath, freezing the crab for a good amount of damage, but he also hits Ulf (sorry). I forget exactly what happens after this, but basically, Ulf was grabbed by the crab, then the crab lets go of him, and he goes into a rage, attacking the crab back. At some point, two more creatures show up out of a couple of doors, and one of them is killed by Arman as an Attack of Opportunity. I think that Ulf got hit by something else at this point, I think it was the other creature. Ulf crumples to the ground, and is at -2. I quickly rush over (I took a 5-foot step), and jab him with my CLW wand, healing him for 5. Ulf is left prone on the ground, and the crab moves in to attack me and Arman. Somehow, it manages to miss both my absurdly low 13 AC, and Arman's 15 AC. I think that Arman attacks the giant crab at this point. Ulf (he's still prone) attacks the creature and kills it.
At some point during that, Rorakar kills the goblin after it leaves, and heads up top. He manages to deliver the final blow on the giant crab, with two shots from his bow, using his Rapid Shot. I forget when this happens though. This summary wasn't too bad, but I'd like some help remembering exactly when everything happened. I know that the first thing I did when going up top was to use my Draconic Breath, and that right after Ulf went -2 I healed him. I also remember him raging at some point, though I forget when, I think it was a couple of turns before he went down.
