Julak doesn't answer. He is squinting off toward the horizon, dead ahead of the ship's current course.
"Captain?" Toven asks, noticing Julak's sudden silence.
"What...is that?" Julak asks.
Should anyone look in that direction, they'll see what he refers to. It looks a storm, no, a cluster of storms--at least three--are suddenly forming out in the distance. Despite the fact that there isn't a cloud in the sky. Within seconds, the three storms merge together and grow even more.
Frowning, Julak grabs his spyglass from his belt, extends it, and looks out toward it. "What in the..."
"Captain, what is it?" Toven asks.
"The storms are being...corralled, for lack of a better word. By a dragon. With no flesh or scales...it's just a skeleton. And someone's riding it." He lowers his spyglass. "And they are heading right toward us."
"Battle stations!" Toven calls out.

Kalana looks off to the distance with a little confused look on her face before she rushes off to her spot on the ship to get ready for battle. ~Skeletal dragon with someone riding it,~ she thinks to herself. ~This should be interesting.~

Jaeron ushers a gasp "A dracolich?" then he begins thinking out loud "I've only read and heard what I thought to be tall tales mentioning such a thing could they be real?"

"Sure looks real enough," Julak comments as he puts his spyglass away.
The dracolich doesn't take long to come into visual range. As Julak described it, it looks like a dragon but only the skeleton of one. But somehow it manages to fly nonetheless.
The storms follow after the dracolich, as if pulled along by some invisible rope. It shouldn't be possible for storms to form that quickly or move so fast on their own, but they do anyway. Riding on the dracolich's back is a man with light blue skin and white hair. He wears the orange robes of Crizza.
The ship starts to rock, gently at first and then more violently, as the waves and winds become more violent due to the storms approaching. Julak shouts orders to the crew, but they are soon completely drowned out by the shrieking wings and booming thunder that quickly overtake the ship.

Kalana tries to help some of the crew members, but unfortunately she spends a good deal of her time just trying to remained balanced as the ship rocks.

Jaeron does his best to stay aboard the ship wishing he could do something to help but the storms are too much he would be lucky to even cast a spell in this.

The dracolich doesn't stop or even slow down upon reaching the Tiaru, but instead just flies right past it--continuing eastward, toward Hashadeth Island. It pulls the storms right behind it, though, and right into the ship. What's more, it's not just rain falling from those storm clouds. Creatures--large, red frog-like humanoids--drop from the clouds, as well. Most of them fall into the sea, then start swimming toward shore. But three of them land right on the deck of the ship. One on the forecastle (where Kalana, Jaeron, Johannas, Julak and Toven are), one on the aftcastle (where Senllip and Heven are), and one near the ship's wheel (where Divex is trying to keep the ship steady).
(OOC: I need everyone to roll initiative and state actions for Round 1. In addition, everyone needs to make a Seamanship check, as well. If you don't have Seamanship, instead roll a DEX-3 check.)

Kalana pulls out her two sabre's, and quickly takes note of where all the enemies are. "I trust you two can handle this one," she says to Julak and Toven before she dashes off to help Divex by attacking the red frog like creature near him.

Jaeron was going to rush to help Divex but seeing as that is being done he instead decides to help defend the captain by attacking the frog creature closer to him.

"Divex, Divex, Divex..." Senllip says all smiles. "We know each other for so long... You know you can tell me everything and that the captain wouldn't mind me knowing where we go. I only want to suggest improving courses, goals, targets, destinations and such. All in good will." He clarifies. "What about I'll fund all your bets tonight when we play cards with the folks heh?" he tries bribing Divex.
When the Dracolich pass over their heads Senllip gasps, "Wow! I just get to see such marvels in such short time! A flying skeletal dragon! Whoo haa. And was that a genasi riding it? Amazing!! See Divex, what did I tell you about improving our course? Lucky I was here or we could miss this marvelous sight!"
When the frog drops near them, Senllip tries to sneak behind it and backstab it with his new magical sabre.

Thinking quickly, Johannes grabs his harpoon and spears at the creature closest to him.

Jaeron and Johannas (Forecastle) Julak and Toven draw their weapons, a rapier and cutlass respectively, and both attack the colossal crimson creature before them. Julak manages to draw some blood, but Toven is unable to pierce the creature's incredibly thick hide. The ship sways and rocks, but both Jaeron and Johannas manage to keep their footing and attack, as well. Johannas stabs it with his harpoon. Jaeron fires his musket, causing the creature to roar out in pain. Enraged, the monster lashes out. It claws at Julak (who dodges) and Toven (who takes a glancing hit), and then bites Johannas, causing the druid considerable pain.
Kalana (Center Deck) Kalana manages to keep her footing, and then rushes to the center section of the deck, where the wheel is, but arrives too late. Heven manages to get off a couple of magic missiles at the beast, but then is slashed and bitten, and falls to the ground, a bloody mess. The monster turns to face her just as she begins her attack. It bats away her elven blade, but her masterwork sabre bites into it, causing it to howl in outrage.
Senllip (Aftcastle) Senllip, keeping his footing despite the ship's rollicking, rolls behind some barrels to hide. He then sneaks up behind the monster and stabs, but his blade just bounces off its hide harmlessly. Unfortunately, since Senllip was hidden, the monster doesn't see him and focuses all of his attacks on Divex alone. The cleric goes down quickly and now Senllip is left to face the creature alone.
