Duel: Battle of the Servus Navis (completed)

[Thomas Barkshield]

Tom was seriously injured, so he crawled towards the small boat he had used to get aboard.

[Norham Waterpaw]

Engis saw the object coming, and smashed it with his axe. he advanced further still. he brought up his axe, and aimed for Thom's neck.

[Thomas Barkshield]

Tom took of his helmet and flung it at the captains axe.

[Norham Waterpaw]

Engis, unprepared for another projectile, was nearly blown off his feet. He used this to his advantage, while he was bent back, he lashed out forward bringing down his axe at an amazing speed.

[Thomas Barkshield]

The axe was slowed by his armour, but still cut a chunk out of Tom. He scrambled to the railing and pulled himself overboard.

[Norham Waterpaw]

Engis saw the mouse go overboard, what did it matter to him? On less beast to kill. He advanced on the downed Kosta.

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Kosta began to stir. She rolled over on the deck, shakily getting to her feet. Her head was pounding relentlessly, and her cutlass was- where was her cutlass? "Oh, great," she muttered. Then she saw it. It was lying a few feet away on the deck. She gave a small sigh of relief and bent to pick it up.

[Norham Waterpaw]

Engis came down on Kosta's back, yelling;" Die Mutinous filth!"

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Kosta, whose paw had just closed on her cutlass hilt, whirled around at the shout. She managed to get in one wild swing before she fell flat on her tail.

[Norham Waterpaw]

Engis dropped. His paw, gone! It had been chopped off so swiflty, he felt no pain. He was helpless now!

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Engis' shock at losing his paw gave Kosta enough time to get back on her own paws. She thrust, aiming her cutlass for her captain's belly.

[Norham Waterpaw]

Engis felt a bolt of pain like fire through his chest. He looked down, there was a sword straight through him. He stared at Kosta, his eyes beginning to glaze over. He made one last attempt, he lunged forward, burying the sword deeper, he tried to throttle Kosta, but to no avail. The captain, Engis Melstrom, was dead.

[KitrallStreamrippler]

OOC: You are just brutal to your characters. Geez... (It's okay, you just keep taking me by surprise. )

BIC: Kosta stood sill for a moment, completely stunned. Then she let out a whoop. "Hahahaha! Guess who won that time, 'captain'? I told yer I'd show ye the color of yer filthy guts!" the ferret sneered at Engis' corpse as she tugged at her blade. It was stuck. Kosta sighed and looked around for another weapon. That mouse was nowhere to be seen, but that didn't mean he wouldn't come back later.

[Thomas Barkshield]

Once in his boat Tom took a few hacks at the ships hull. it was large enough that a few lucky slaves could escape, and also large enough that the ship would probably sink.

OOC: I'm assuming that the ship is nowhere near the shore.

[KitrallStreamrippler]

OOC: Fair enough. You assume correctly, my friend.
