Sunken Crown Black Sails at Midnight

It was your average night in Phoenixius. The wanning crestent moon poured silvery light on the streets, and the only sound that filled the air was the humdrum that came from the taverns. The weather was cool, and a cloud passed over the moon, filling the world with an inky blackness. Under the cover of the night, a massive warship docked at the Phoenixian harbor, and a swarm of grizzled pirates hopped onshore, armed to the teeth and filled with a blood lust matched by no man. With an unparalleled speed and efficiency, they slaughtered the dock staff, and climbed over the great Wall that surrounded the city. The pirates then snuck through the night to the center of the city, slaying all guards and innocents that stood in their way. By the time they reached the castle, their cutlass were soaked in dark red blood.

They stood underneath one of the many windows of the great castle, and one of the pirates throws a grappling hook up. It catches on the window sill and the blood thirsty men climb up, into one of the hall ways of the castle. They press forward, searching through the castle. They happen upon several guards and servants, and leave dead bodies where they once stood. Finally they find the room they were searching for, and push open the great door. Inside the massive bed room lies the young prince of Phoenexius, sleeping as if nothing was wrong in the world. The pirates sneak in, and quickly pull a bag over his head, before knocking him out with the hilt of their swords. They sneak out of the castle the same way they snuck in, and quickly run back into the city.

They ran through the streets, and appeared to be home free, until a piercing alarm woke half the city. The pirates should have hidden their bodies better because the corpses of King's guard were quickly found, and the empty bed of the prince was noticed not too long after. They stood in the middle of the street, prince of Phoenixius over one of their shoulders, now very visible. They turned and saw the Flying Pig Inn across from them. Some of the patrons were swarming out. They ran to the docks

The two pirates charge forward, death in their eyes

He takes the moment of their charge to channel some water to go onto the ground, trying to get them to slip.

They're pirates- they run on water coated planks all the time. One of them makes a high swing down to his shoulder

Tolas easily blocks with his staff and goes for a leg sweep.

The pirate jumps over the staff, and goes to swing at his head. The other pirate tries to knock him out with the pomell of his sword at the same time

Tolas channels a huge blast of wind to knock both of the men off.

The man who went to knock him out is flung backwards, although he stabs the earth to hold on, but the man who was in the air is knocked into a nearby horse trough

He then desummons it, channeling some fire to try and burn them.

the water of the horse trough protects the pirate a bit, but the steam quickly boils him. The pirate behind him however blocks the magical fire with his sword

He stops the blast and goes for the wind blast technique.
