Chapter 44: Hide and Die
La Hispaniola gets up right beside the
L.R.S. Crater.
Merasmus teleports to the high Crow's Nest.
"BEHOLD, MY POWER!" (2 vs. 4) He shoots a flurry of ice beams at the Musico, and they all melt in mid-air. Musico responds by yanking the gun out of a Guard's hands and firing at the wizard. (6 vs. 4) As he gets shot again, the wizard disappear to heal himself as a ship prop! Where could he be now?
Pastamancer, the other wizard, conjures up a large Spaghetti Spear and throws it over the water. (5 vs. 4) It hits Musico in the leg, basically tearing the lower part of his left leg off. This is enough to snap
Rainbow Dash out of his spell!
Delta keeps his Rivet Gun pointed at
La Hispaniola, ready to fire at the first boarder.
Rainbow Dash zips to the ocean right above
La Hispaniola, and begins spinning around the ship at high speeds. (4 vs. 6) Before she can make enough rotations to cause an effect, a cannonball comes zooming at her. (6 vs. 3) It hits her Right Wing, breaking it, and she goes splashing into the water.
Applejack bucks bucking Bucanero. (1 vs. 4) But Bucanero bites back before his butt's bucked! (1 vs. 5) By bailing.
Gordon Freeman 2.0 fires shots with his Laser Rifle at the Musico. (3 vs. 5) He misses. The musician, (2 vs. 6) goes to hide.
Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle rallies the troops! (5)
"COME ON THEN, FOR GLORY AND THAT SHITE!" Every is invigorated to defend the
L.R.S. Crater! (+1 to everyone's defense this turn)
Seeing
Gordon Freeman's back turned, el Conquistador Dos takes the opportunity to reclaim his Halberd and stab the doctor in the back! (6 vs. 5+1) The spear-point gets stick in the outer layer of the H.E.V. Suit's armor.
El Ballestero loads another bolt into his Crossbow.
El Artillero scouts the other ship for signs of
Merasmus. (6) Well, there's that levitating barrel for one. (5 vs. 2+1) The bullet tears into the barrel.
"NOOOOOOO!" The barrel explodes and it's bits fall into the ocean.
Merasmus has died!El Bucanero swings his Sword at
Applejack. (5 vs. 4+1) She bucks the sword out of his hands.
El Musico jumps onto the deck of the
L.R.S. Crater. As he raises his trumpet for a battle call,
Delta fires his Rivet Gun! (4+1 vs. 2) The Rivet goes straight through the trumpet and impales itself into the back of the musicians throat! He falls back off the ship and into the ocean.
The guards of
La Hispaniola board the deck of the
L.R.S. Crater, and begin to clash with the Lunar guards! (5 vs. 4+1) Both side's are completely even in combat.
Elite Mongolian Warriors fire at the boarding guards! (6 vs. 5) The guards are smart enough to hide, but some of the arrows still manage to kill dozens of them.
Hernando Cortez[/glow] swings up next to
Admiral Waverider. The Chief Conquistador draws out his Lanza Spear.
"I challenge you to a duel, pony captain!" Waverider pulls out a spare hatchet.
"Well I accept." He clutches the hatchet in his hoof.
"Hey, how do you horses hold things in your hooves?" "Oh, that's simple, I-" The Spaniard charges the admiral. (4 vs. 3+1) Just before the blow connects, Waverider parries with the shaft of his axe, (4+1 vs. 6) and slashes at Cortez, who dodges to avoid having his face cut off.
