(Bonemen's level scale up quite a bit in Skyrim. Plus, don't forgot on here they can land a head shot and take out a person in one hit. It all depends on the rolls :P)

The skeletons in the way took the attack. The Bonemask pirate managed to hit one, destroying the skeleton. Though there were 11 more where that one came from.

Since they were staying in place, trying to hide behind their shield, the swarm of skeletons surrounded them. Individually they were quite weak, but with almost a dozen of them attacking at once the pirates were in trouble.

The pirate mage wasn't able to hide from the skeletons by staying behind his friend. The skeletons attacked him from both flanks and left him staggered from multiple blows that added up to quite serious damage.

(Speak of the devil, the Bonemen rolled a 19 attack and fatal damage. Your guy is fucked.)

The shield wielding pirate wasn't lucky. His shield didn't protect is whole body and the Bonemen weren't stupid. With the skeletons attacking him, forcing the pirate to defend himself against them, the Bonemen were able to line up quite a shot. As the pirate was fighting off the lesser skeletons, he found himself shot twice by the Bonemen. One landed a hit a hit on his chest, though that was only a minor injury, the other however, landed a hit right through the exile's neck. He would soon drown in his own blood.

"These men are trespassers on the Isle of N'Gasta, their punishment will be carried out under Duke Mamireh's authority. While I do accept your assistance, bounty hunter, I won't let you simply take the prisoners away. They are in my custody. Though you will still be rewarded for your help." Abdul said. By his tone what he was saying wasn't up for debate and the way he ignored the comments of the Nelthar Organization he didn't seem familiar with them in the slightest.

(Btw, how many Redguard exiles came with Vander?)

"Arm the artillery." King Cassander ordered.

The Orcs were getting closer, though they hadn't yet gotten into firing range.

"The Raiders don't appear to have any artillery on board their ships...just a lot of angry Orcs." Damo commented as he looked over their enemy with the spyglass.

"What about the Imperials, are they in position?" Cassander asked.

Damo looked to the south. "I don't see them yet."

"Let's hope they get here in time. We can't fight off a hundred Orcs by ourselves." Cassander stated.

"There is the trade ship, Captain." The First Mate reported. "Wait, something is wrong, it's headed the wrong way."

"What?" The old Nord asked.

"Aye, Captain. The trade ship is headed eastward." The First Mate confirmed.

"What in Shor's Name. Are you sure that is the right ship?" The Captain asked.

"Yes, I am certain. That is the Venturer." He replied.

"Then what in Oblivion happened? They were supposed to be sailing west to Solitude." The old Nord grunted.

The First Mate took a closer look at the ship. "They seem to have already been attacked, sir. I spot a few corpses on the deck and only one merc is protecting it."

"Bloody void, who attacked our prey?! These are our waters!" The old Nord yelled.

"Only one way to find out, sir." The First Mate ordered the men to raise the jolly roger and pursue the trade ship.
