Pirate World Boss Quest (Turn 3): Boardin' Party Melee (+ rule rollback)

Objective: HMS Boaty McCannonmonger be dead in the water. Finish her off!

The scene:

A massive Man o’ War of the Royal Navy, sent to destroy Deadman’s Bay, now floats helplessly. Major devastation has befallen the humongous vessel thanks to the sustained attacks, ambushes, and cannonfire of many brave pirate captains. Sails destroyed, massive hull damage, and the death of her captain, has left the remaining crew devasted. The morale which once drove those limey bastards onward to an “assured victory” has been all but drained.

Meanwhile, a boardin’ party lead by @drlobes has taken up positions on the deck, while the lone Skeleton Cap’n Bone-a-part (@wwwiebe) be climbin’ up the nets on the starboard bow. @the.partisan.spy’s Iron Storm remains nearby, along with @kerrislravenhill’s Bloody Raven.

The alarm has been sounded by a lookout, and the remainin crew of HMS Boaty McCannonmonger have been riled to defend what’s left of her wreckage.

It be time to finish this. Shall the boardin’ parties clear out the crew and take control of the ship? Maybe artillery will destroy the Royal Man o’ War first? We shall find out in turn 3:
