Cpn. Mergen explained that the pirate ship that had first accosted them was on an errand to secure a ransom for his safe return. The party concluded that there was an opportunity, now that half the crew was dead and disbanded, to overwhelm the rest of the crew and perhaps take control of the ship. The captain explained that the ship's weapons would surely kill them all if they were to be suspected as attackers and asked if anyone had special abilities of disguise.
Lacking magical means, the party concluded that they would disguise themselves the gear of the fallen pirates, propping up the dead ones in the camp as though they would follow shortly. Madil Zhadyra interrogated the captured pirate to discover that there was a signal. The ship would fly certain signal flags if the captured captain was to be ransomed and returned to the ship, and a different flag if he was to be killed.
To Action!
Daniela's Ghost returned flying the ransom flags. The party boarded the boat with Captain Mergen who was bound with easy-to-slip knots. The party approached the ship with the captain cursing a blue streak as he expressed his distaste with being a captive. Two crewmen hauled the "bound" captain aboard and turned their back on the rest of the crew, who immediately boarded the ship and swung into action.
Madil Zhadyra was soon at the bow, slicing at a pirate officer while Barcal Nariman, amidships, dished out two-fisted wrath to anyone near. Cemzick Nucklestamp with his swashbuckling footwork dodged in and out of the fray delivering deadly blows all around. Rael Starflower and Jarseth Bhalin cast spells into the crowd, afflicting the very unlucky. Meanwhile, Captain Mergen ended up toe-to-toe with the dreaded pirate Zhansultan Erzhan.
The pirate Zhansultan proved more than a match for Captain Mergen who eventually fell to the onslaught. Madil Zhadyra eventually overcame the pirate officer at the bow and his cronies. Amidships, Barcal and Cemzick had all but cleaned up the fresh pirates who had run up on deck from below. In a surprising move, Rael Starflower, clocked one of the fleeing pirate officers with his fist, killing the hapless pirate mid-step.
Eventually, the pirate Erzhan fell. The only remaining crewman, an officer who had failed to escape combat, dropped to his knees and let his weapon fall to the deck. "Parlay!" he cried.
