The knights Kaihel spoke to looked at each other awkwardly through their visors as he made formal introductions.  One tried to fumble through a Hylian salute failing miserably and casting their authenticity into further doubt.  "Sir, you need to get off the docks and return to your uhmmm regiment, yeah regiment immediately.  This area is under royal protection and this ship is preparing to leave port."  With that they pulled their swords out, along with several others along the dock that Calypso and Kaihel had traveled over.  Grabbing her pouch, which felt awfully light, the sorceress instinctively rushed into her part of the plan.  With reflexes she tossed the bag and ignited it with ease.  Unknown to her, the pouch had suffered a small tear quite some time ago along the dock on a rusty anchor hanging out.  A trail of her explosive powder followed them nearly the entire length of the dock, and as the bag inited the explosive magic continued in a line behind her, blasting dock debris and suspicious guards into the air, the sea, and on miscellaneous boat decks.  A little farther than the length of a ship was utterly blown away leaving the two heroes and two soldiers all a little confused and stuck on a veritable island of a dock.<br/><br/>With the series of explosions there was no doubt to Rumsey that the distraction was in play.  Grappling hooks were set and pirates were soon swinging landing on the deck of the Red Lion as it's few occupants were staring at the aftermath of the chaotic pyrotechnics just like everyone else in the harbor.  Rumsey and Ruby both managed to kick a guard into the sea to finished their landings on the deck, leaving just one guard on the docks nearby the plank they used to board the ship.  The sorceress' distraction was such a success it allowed for the ship to be nearly unguarded by the time the pirates had landed!  Ruby put a hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow at Rumsey, clearly expecting an explanation why her bombs were banned and his plan involved ....that.<br/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://s21.postimg.org/y5hd73mc5/bbb.png" src="http://s21.postimg.org/y5hd73mc5/bbb.png" style=""/><br/><span style="font-size: 9px"><a class="externalLink" href="http://postimg.org/image/mgddj4vdf/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">If Img doesn't load</a></span><br/><br/><span style="color: Red"><span style="font-size: 15px"><b>The Red Lion</b></span></span><br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">You're not in combat ...yet.  If you want to be, you can take a suprise round (1 standard action)<br/>
 and then roll initiative.  If you don't want to be, you could make some skill checks to do other interesting things!<br/>
*The health bars and stuff can be ignored, I just put that together as quick and dirty as I could<br/>
