"Mhm. Let's go talk to them. We'd have to give up five bottles of rum in order to pass safely, I think. But if we battle them, the group in the dining hall might hear us and join the fight."

"I say we give them the rum."

"Hehehe... perhaps not join us, but merely let us pass while they drink their worries away. Only one way to find out, hehe."

The party enters the room with the staircase, and the group of pirates finally notices them.

"Hey, those don't look like our guys!" one of the marauders shouts.

"Yeah, let's get 'em!" another replies.

Suddenly the party is faced with five armed pirates and a monkey that has a nasty grin on its face.

"Fight or flight, people? Will we hand them rum or give them hell?" Eric said as he slowly unsheathed Godricsleif, preparing for battle. "I don't care if we have to fight them, but if any of you have objections, say so now!"

OoC: Or is it too late already to hand them Rum?

"Hehe... these pirates look tough, I say flight."

OoC: I should have my throwing knife back. And about the mug... thought it was the rule. Just trying to be fair, though I wouldn't mind more. :tongue:

"Are we able to give rum to the pirates at any point or only before a battle, like now? If we can give them some later, we might as well try fighting them and use the rum as a last resort. If not, I do not mind whether we fight or avoid the confrontation."

Agreed, we should attack them and if half of us pass out, we can just give them rum.

If we do attack, I shall attack the Peglegged Pirate From the back row.

OoC: Or is it too late already to hand them Rum?

OoC: Not at all, you can give them the Rum at any point during the battle. The pirate (or monkey) you give the rum will immediately leave the battle. You will not gain experience from battles where all the enemies have fled from, though.

"Lets give the Peglegged Pirate a bottle of rum and fight the rest, I say."

Maurice is prepared to give the Peglegged Pirate one of his bottles of rum if the party leader agrees with this.

Otherwise he wishes to attack the Filthy Chimp from the front row.

Results of Round One of the Pirates & Chimp Battle:

Maurice uses Rum on Peglegged Pirate

Eric vs. Pirate Ruffian (Green Bandana) - Damage

>Hybros (Throwing Knife) vs. Pirate Wench - Miss

Christopher vs. Filthy Chimp - Critical Hit

>Erdathcath vs. Pirate Ruffian (Blue Bandana) - Special Damage

>Ad-Hoh (Darkness) vs. Pirate Seamage - Special Damage

At the start of the battle Maurice offers one of his bottles of rum to the pirate with the pegleg. The pirate thanks and leaves the battle, taking swigs from his new bottle. The other pirates watch him go enviously. The Pirate Ruffian with the green headscarf attacks Eric first, causing 5 damage to the barbarian. Hybros tries to throw his knife at the Pirate Wench, but misses. Hybros will nevertheless have to retrieve the weapon before he can use it again. Christopher gains a critical hit against the Filthy Chimp, dealing 25 damage to the monkey. The pirate with the blue bandana steals 10 gold from Erdathcath. Then the Pirate Seamage casts a Tsunami that hits all heroes, causing 6 damage to the front row and 3 to the back row, except Ad-Hoh who is protected from magic. Christopher's shield does not protect him from the surge of water, though. The Seamage loses 1 ether in the process.

Five enemies remain.

Eric roared as the pirate hits him. Blood runs from the wound, but Eric does not relent. He glances at the Pirate Chef's head dangling at his side. "Wartan give me strength and more heads will be offered in your name." Godricsleif grew restless as its master has missed yet another chance to draw blood. A mysterious force pulled Eric back into the fray, ordering him to carry on the battle.

"I either win or perish on this battlefield. No matter, Helvetia will set me free!" the Nord shouted and ran towards his asaillant again. Blood would be spileld, be it his or his enemies. The rage aspect of Wartan the Allfather cared little whose blood flowed into his realm.

Eric will attack Pirate Ruffian (Green Bandana) again, from the first row.

Battle order:

Christopher

Eric

Ad-Hoh

Erdathcath

Hybros

Maurice

"If any of you still want to give Rum, do your thing. I will stay and fight these mongrels!"

The quick Pirate Wench grinned as she dodged Hybros' knife. Luckily she didn't have enough time to counterattack as he drew Zoot's Reaper and charged her from the front row.

The ruffian with the blue bandana steals another 10 gold from Erdathcath. The Pirate Wench performs a twin slash on Hybros and Maurice, dealing 6 damage to both of them.

"Two of us should hand out Rum, preferably to the Seamage and the Wench. That'll leave us with three fighters left. If we are like we will manage to take out the Ruffian with the green bandana and the chimp. The Ruffian will give us back one bottle of rum when dead and the chimp will hopefully hand over his banana, which Maurica can then use. I say Erdathcath and Ad-Hoh give one of their rums. I will try to kill the ruffian, while Christopher should finish the chimp. Hybros can attack the remaining pirate. Alright?"

Eric felt confident that the battle would end up right. Godricsleif had caught the taste of the ruffian's blood and was thirsty for more. Icy mists hung around the blade and the runic inscription glowed eerie red. Eric heard a voice in his head. It sounded far away, yet familiar. He paid no heed to it, though and kept focused on the task ahead.

"Hang on, Cleric! Sol will watch over you!"

"Here's hoping for some bloodrage" Eric muttered to himself.

Eric will attack Pirate Ruffian (Green Bandana) from the front row.

Battle Order

Ad-Hoh (give rum to Sea Mage)

Erdathcath (give rum to Wench)

Christopher (kill chimp)

Eric (kill ruffian)

Hybros (attack and if lucky kill remaining pirate)
