You hit savage twice doing 15 pts damage total, causing a gush of blood to spew from a gash across his stomach and neck. Yet he continues to fight, you only made him mad!

Ermanaric attacks the other savage now pressing in on him (bright green eyes glinting from a pitch black face find the princess beyond...a prize for his master!) The fighters magical blade cuts deep into the jungleman's side for 10 pts total.
Meanwhile Fletcher pulls his own sword and blocks the Pick captain in his tracks now armed with a magical axe and two handed sword he wields in one hand (yes he's just that good)! Swords clang loudly as the two duke it out, Fletcher hits first cutting deeply across the barbarians cheek and face, causing 6 more points of damage. The dwarf fires another bolt toward the savage on Cal, but this time misses. The princess out of daggers lights a flask of oil and prepares to throw it.
Subdolus tosses 2 more daggers at the barbarian captain this time both hit (15 and 19) inflicting another 5 pts. Tiberious tosses his remaining axe at the captain and hits as well for 10.
Monster counter attack: The Pick barbarian captain throws the magical axe of returning at Sogathan hitting him for 8 pts total, and the axe returns to its new master. He then swings down at Fletcher with his massive black two handed sword, hitting him with a 19, and causing 14 pts of damage. The ranger also feels an electrical jolt and sees small blue electrical arcs errupt from the blade inflicting another 6 pts damage (so total 25).
Just then, near the back of the ship (standing on a crate about 15 feet behind Subdolus) the beautiful female HE cleric appears from invisibilty casting hold person on Fletcher, Calhagan and Ermanaric. Fletcher suddenly freezes (rolling a 3) as does Ermanaric (rolling a 5). Only the battered Calhagan makes his save.
Initiative: Monsters 5 group 4. The female cleric then commands Calhagan to die, but the bad a$$ x-sea captain shakes it off. Seeing his friends about to get his head chopped off with a machette, Calhagan jumps infront of the now totally frozen Ermanaric taking all 4 blows. This time incredibly all 4 hit and do 19 more points of damage. Likewise the barbarian captain attempts to cut off the head of Fletcher, wanting to stick it on a pole at the head of his ship. Sog jumps forward, as do the princess and dwarf, instinctively protecting the Ranger from harm. Unable to strike freely the Barbarian swings at Sog with both weapons this time using his double attack. 2 blows from his 2 handed sword hit and 1 from Tiberious stolen axe, for a devistating total of 31 pts damage (that includes the electrical effects of the black two handed sword).
Tiberius, you can see the cleric girl, and could attack her if you want. Or you could help the others. Subdolus, you can't directly see the cleric girl, but you hear her casting and could move in for a back stab (assuming you move quietly enough).

In an attempt to disrupt her spell, Tiberious throws his magical axe of returning and one of his daggers. (Axe--reminder of +3 monk damage to weapon usage)

With a 19 your axe punches threw her breast plate, and returns covered in her blood. The dagger bounces off her thigh armor.

OOC: Subdolus must be busy so to keep the game moving I'm going to NPC him this round.
The expert thief quickly moves around the opposite side of the cabin (still hidden a bit in the purple fumes) and then crouching down and crawls into positions behind the box, prepared to backstab next round.
Calhagan in desperation attacks the most injured one doing a double attack this round he gets in two excellent blows cutting the arm and head off one of the savages (doing 19 pts damage total).
Sog commands his snake staff again to bite the captain and entwine him. The captain again avoids the snakes attack. Sog casts a light spell at the captains face. The Pick fails to save and suddenly is partly blinded by the spells effects. The dwarf commands the princess to get back and swings his axe cutting a deep gash into the barbarians leg for 8 pts! Ermanaric and Fletcher watch helplessly frozen, a child with a fork could kill them.
Initiative: Group 6 monsters 4. Subdolus makes his move on the casting half elf cleric chick. A 15 and 17 (both weapons hit and do backstab damage) for a total of 34 pts damage total. The girl drops over unconscious but not dead.
Tiberious seeing this switches his attack to the firey headed captain. His magical axe hits again ripping out meat, but still the giant stands. Calhagan hits with his long sword and cuts a deep gash across the savages chest. Seeing that Cal might be able to take care of himself, the girl focuses back on the nearest threat, and throws her flask of oil at the Barbarian captains feet. With a 17, she hits and covers the lower half of his body in flame! The dwarf swings but misses the captain, now looking panicked. Sog moves behind Cal (seeing he's close to dropping) and casts a CLW for 6 pts.
Monster counter. The pick captain makes a break for it, running for the side of the boat. The dwarf and girl swing but miss and no one else is close enough to attack. The captain disappears under the water taking Tiberious's axe and his own magical two handed sword with him.
The black savage swings again at Cal and hits with one of his swords for 7 total.
Inititiative: monsters 1 group 4 Sog and Cal both swing at the last remaining savage and both hit. Cals double attack is devistating and he removes his leg.
What does everyone else wish to do? THe pirate captain is not visible, though you can see a faint light spell under the water heading toward shore.

That pict is not a man that I want as a living enemy. Who'll join me back in our boat? We could stick him full of arrows from here to the shore.

OOC: No way that pregnant dog takes off with my magic handaxe!
TIberious will dive into the water and persue the barbarian. (When he enters the water he will use his speak with animals to seek out a shark if possible to attack the Captain. Payment for help will be the bodie son deck.) Meanwhile Tiberious will use his maximum monk movement rate to both catch up to and attack the captain with daggers. As the Capatain just jumped in, Tiberious will also try to block his path to the surface and drown the barbarian.

While The princess and Sog stay behind to make sure the fighters come to no harm while the hold person wears off, the rest of the group head to the boat and within a minute are on their way. Without the full crew its a painfully slow process, and they aren't certain if they'll be able to cetch the powerful barbarian before he makes it to shore and the tree line.
Tiberious not wanting to loose his matching axe dives in after the Pick. WIthout the light spell cast upon his face, the barbarian would be impossible to locate in the early morning din (remember its only about 5AM). Tiberious calls out to sharks, and with luck 2 good sized Bull sharks are already on the scene. They tell the monk they would have already gone in to bite the human, but both fear and are mesmorized by the light. Tiberious insists the two attack and eat the barbarian and are promised a ton of freshly killed men. To this the sharks quickly swim the 50 feet distance and attack. Screams are heard as his body is lifted into the air and then pulled down. By the time the others reach the seen its become a blood bath, with the sharks now rolling around with their prey, tearing apart the barbarian pirate captain limb from limb. After five minutes its over. By this time more sharks have shown up (about 30 in all). Apparently this inlet is a favorite place to hang out for this preditor. Tiberious recovers his magical axe and the black ruined covered two handed sword the fighter had carried (thinking perhaps one of the fighters that lost their magical swords could use it). Any other treasure the pick captain had on him is lost in the stomach of one of the sharks. You had seen a ring and bracers, as well as a small bag probably filled with the cream of his treasure....all gone.
The PCs pick up Tiberius and head back to the boat. Calhagan collapses from his injuries, the adrenoline finally wearing off. By now the would be slaves are extremely happy. With broad smiles and cheers at their rescuers. 28 in all survived the ordeal. 10 are sailors from merchant ships, 5 were waylayed in various port towns, 8 are pirates from the captain you met on shore, and the remaining 5 were passangers from various boats. 3 are halflings, and one says he new Ruinbottles Giffer (grandfather). He's saddened to hear of his disappearance and likely death.
Sog heals himself for 14 pts of damage before running out. The bodies of the cleric and MU are searched and you find some goodies: a +1 flail that does triple damage to undead. a +2 ring, and a sachel of scrolls belonging to the cleric of the previous ship. Subdolus tells the others to not open the sachel until it is searched for traps. Also no one has entered the captains cabin. By this point the air has cleared and its safe for all to enter. Does Subdolus wish to check for traps? You could always send in some of the x-slaves to do this dirty work (as well as open the sachel).

Tiberious lowers the elf body (the guard hidden up on the mast lookout) and Subdolus does a search of his body. A lock picking kit, and small vile of poison is found, as well as a wig, fake teeth, and makeup. Also, he had a shortbow with a quiver of poisoned arrows (12). Sub thinks death posion. Also, the girl cleric is still alive (at -4) do you want to finish her off?
Sogathan uses his crown as the x-slaves are asked questions by Tiberious. Non of them seem to be spys, and 3 are definitely violent criminal types (all pirates from the other crew).
The sun is up and its now 8 AM.

Subdolus will inspect for traps quite carefully. If he is satisfied it is safe he will offer one of the 3 less desirable pirates fifty gp to help him search. If accepted he will keep an eye on the individual while trying to stay clear of any potential hazards that may be activated.
