If Scubacarrot doesn't state an action in a few hours, TCM can choose the action/row.

Kiray wobbles around again."Same order... I think."

Kiray attacks MAd Cow 2 from the front with her Sword of Fire and Light. "The world's an uncivilised place, Na'im. Might be good to figure that out sooner rather than later." Battle order Miderun Kiray Germ Na'im

Loot Miderun-1 mead, 1 bone Nai'm- 2 bones Germ- 1 mead, 1 bone Kiray- nothing Kiray pulls out the map as she graciously takes food from Germ. "Germ has a good idea. LEt's go to Zone 3 with the same challenge." As she puts the map away, she says "I was thinking Zone 5 but four works for me." She adjusts her sword in its scabbard. "See that's why I didn't train as a paladin. Or well, partly the reason. Ether seems to take a lot of energy, energy that could be used actually harming the enemies."

So that means waiting even longer?

Annie, deciding to go with a plan of her own, injures nearly everyone on the raider flagship with a dark attack, nearly taking out on of the ballistae.

Kiray attacks Direwolf 2 from the front. "Na'im, think you can revive Germ?" Battler order Miderun Kiray Na'im Germ

"Do you want me to target the crew or the skiff itself? There's a major difference."

What are people's thoughts on #146's battle?

1. Ignore the Chrysanthemum, fixing that now. That was for an older version of the quest, forgot to change it. 2. Yes, both sides' ballistae can hit characters, not just ships. 3. Yes. Whatever characters that do not have a "Note" by them can use long range/Free hits. Ex, the Raider Mage or Captain Luthan.

Captain Slate ushers all of the Heroes and militia on board. "I'll organize the villagers to safety!" William runs off back to the town, calling out to the other citizens to follow him. "Get us out there!" Slate commands to his crew. The Golden Lotus' mains unfurl and the ship begins to make its way to approach the raiders. "Starboard!" A skiff can be seen approaching. The Heroes find there is one approaching from the port side as well. "Get ready!" Just then, a ballista bolt whooshes past the captain. "They've got long range weapons!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Both Warlen and Calamity's shots miss the ship, both flying over the bow. (Both characters rolled a 5, acting as a miss) "I have ballistae on the ship that can be used." "Uh, guys, hate to be a downer," Rex begins, "but the longer we wait, the closer the ship will come. If we don't meet the enemy on the sea, we won't be able to damage the ship enough before it makes landfall." Rex peers back out and his face falls. "Look! It's already made it around one of the rocks Calamity placed."

Kiray shakes away the haziness she had to deal with. A smile came to her lips when she saw the barghest fall. She targets Direwolf 3 from the front. "I agree, just whittle away at them." Repeat order.

Annie sees the ship is filled with rage-filled warriors. Many had axes. One was shirtless and wielded two scimitars. The ship appeared slightly damaged.

Nah, just flop around a little.

The three heroes, Traci, Jackson and William rush over to the dock, scrambling past fleeing villagers. At the dock, they look out to the sea and see... "Damn it," the mayor mutters. "Calamity has set up some natural defenses with the rocks. It will slow them down, but it won't stop them." "We can't let them get inland," the captain informs everyone. "As soon as they hit the sand we'll need to give them all we got. They've never attacked us at the port head-on like this. Something has changed." Then, Captain Slate dashes over from his ship. "Mayor! We can't do anything from the beach. We need to stop them on the water, before they get to us." "Captain-" "Captain, it's not worth letting them get on land. As soon as they do, they'll split up into the forest and divide us. We have to get on The Golden Lotus and fight."

Kiray wobbles around. The world felt as if it was spinning around her. Were those stars, she thought. No, I think those are shurikens I see. Repeat order.

Annie sees Calamity, Rex, the Captain, and Luke casting spells. Villagers are dropping the logs and running back to the town square. Clearly something is not right.

Kiray swings at Wolf 2 from the front. Repeat order. ""Don't revive him until we kill another of these creatures. We can't let the free hits stack."

But before the Heroes can go talk to the villagers, they see-- or rather hear-- a thunderous noise coming from the docks. High above, a lone cannonball flies up in the air. "What's going on over there?"

Repeat Order. ""I've got Barghest 2. Nobody target it!" Kiray tosses a Fire Bomb from the back row.
