If I figure that I can afford to let the men celebrate for awhile I will let them and then gather them up next morning to head for the cove. If I fear that we have the time then I will reluctantly gather them up and head for the cove tonight. Either way I want to try and asses the situation and hopefully attack them by night

I will then go with the team that is going to attack the pirates. My plan is still to do this as quitely as possible. I'm am going to try and use stealth instead of just a full frontal assult. When we get there I will fully asses the situation and make any refinements to our plan.

You and twenty men arrive across the river from the riverboat, that is tie up at the dock there are four large lanterns brightly lighting the riverboat, standing at the front is one man, at the back of the riverboat is one man leaning against the rail looking toward town, smoking a pipe.
about 100 yards away on the docks is a small village on the side of the river your enemy you holding back belong too. There about 104 men and women. The Tavern is at the docks fully lighted and very loud, look like the pirates have taken over the town and have the women in the tavern. on the docks are ten local em tied up to light poles.

The river boat is 20 feet wide and 50 feet long with 2 water wheel. power by a steam boiler, low draft with a lower hold that only 5 feet and length and width of the boat. the river boat have a central 2 story 10 by 20 cabins lower have 4 rooms. there is 2 cannon on pivots in front. both covered.

How many exits out of the tavern?
Are the doors to the tavern wood and are they full doors.

Did you save the Tavern is on the enemy side of the river?
Have I ever had any dealings with this village? Is it a good village or is it a village of mostly ruffians?

Here is my plan. Myself using my fish form and 3 of my best stealhy types will use water breathing rings will hopefully sneak on board. Myself and 1 other will be team 1. The other 2 will be team 2. Team 1 will try to stealthly take out 1 guy while team 2 will take out the other. As soon as we engage. The rest except for 2 will try board the ship. The last 2 will split up each going for a rope. There goal is to cut the two ropes. If for some reason either team 1 and/or team 2 take out our objective before the 2 make it to the ropes then we will cut the ropes. I want to do this as quietly as possible. The ones who know how to bring the steam to bare on this boat will not engage in combat they will make it to where ever they need to be to get this boat steamed up. The rest will assist with the 2 guards if needed if not needed they will prepare bows and arrows to delay the rest of the pirates if they try to board while we make our escape.

crossing the river and climbing on the deck was easy the noise of laughter from the tavern help cover any movement. Your man was siting on one of the cannons smoking a pipeand was easy to dispatch only level 1 pirate. The second pirate was pull into the water while he was peeing and held under until he drown, his body disappear in a slight glow (teleported to a healer temple he must had bought a rez stone(100 gold)) nearest temple that can do that is at least 30 miles away.
Rest of the crew boards and the two men start to cut when load noise at tavern make everyone stop for a moment only to realize that a brawl broke out and men yelling.
Ropes are cut and the ship start to drift the Goblin captain whisper to some of your men Get the poles and keep the boat steady. and blow into a pipe, "get that fire elemental fed I want steam in 5 minutes, Jokan use some rum or whiskey you have and give the elemental a drink i want him hotter than the sun on a hot summer day!
one minute pass and the ship now 100 feet from the dock and nudging into the middle of the river current. Sound of fighting still going on.
2 minutes pass and you can hear rattling of sound from the pipes and see steam rising from them,
the fighting seem to have stop or quiet down, you now 600 feet downstream your men and four goblin keeping the boat point forward.
3 minutes you see a gauge rise from white to almost black. 1600 feet down stream and the dock out of sight.
4 minutes one of the goblin hiss from the front, "we have an bend! 2 minutes ahead!"
5 minutes the gauge needle is just in the black. The captain staring ahead trying to move the wheel to turn the boat muttering 1 min all i need"
6 minute you see the ship headint toward the bend in the river and hear the sound of gears and the wheels start to turn on wheel turning faster than the other.
7 minute you pass the bend with feet to spare as the wheels turn more smoothly the captain bellow out the the crew and men Stop using the poles and Start securing the boat.
"Aslan!" one of your men hollar helping a young woman from below, she look like she been ties and gag the gage is on her neck and he untying her. " we have a guest"
