DM's Screen:

Shanty steps up next and has his eyes trained on the sahuagin Bubbles has already managed to wound. The bard pulls up his shawm, built according to ancient locathah technique to properly function underwater, and weaves some magic through the resulting but purposeful disturbing notes.

At first, it appears that the notes produce a spectral tentacle to appear from within the nearby wreckage. It whips upward and slashes the wounded sahuagin. (Heavy Sahuagin#2 takes 13 cold damage.)

A second later, however, it becomes clear that the notes had an effect of their own. The sahuagin seems to struggle with some pain within his head, wriggling to one side and then the other. While he does so, he inadvertently swims backwards, ending up 15ft farther away from Shanty than where he was just a moment ago. (Heavy Sahuagin#2 takes 14 psychic damage.)

Edit: Note that the Sahuagin that backtrack 15ft is now outside the Driftglobe's Light range. Only those with darkvision can see him.

(Undertow's turn is still up.) 

(OOC: It has been over 24 hours since Undertow has been called to action. I'm invoking our 24-hour rule and auto-piloting Undertow for this round.)

Undertow can't help but let his lips faintly curl upward at the sight of sahuagins. Despite his young age, the ranger has had plenty of encounters with these foul underwater nemesis, and tries to share some of his knowledge with the group.

-> Undertow's INT check to recall information on Sahuagin (Favored Enemy): 19 

Despite the thought, Undertow's eagerness to enter combat wins over and he proceeds to do so before any strategic information is recalled. Aware that he is likely one of the few who can currently see the injured enemy Shanty sent back into the darkness, Undertow raises his small crossbow, swims forward a bit, releases a bolt, and swims back to the same spot he was occupying a moment ago.

-> Hand Crossbow: Attack: 16 Damage: 8 

The bolt stops short of reaching its mark, floating harmlessly in the turvy water. Finally, the ranger orders Riptide the octopus to stay ready to strike should any enemy approach. For that purpose, the octopus swims nearer {P-8}. 

DM's Screen:

Now clearly wielding his glaive-like weapon, the sahuagin who had landed a blow on Bubbles' back pursues him, swimming downward to catch up with the barbarian {K-13}. From this distance, Bubbles now notices that the lightly armored enemy has a long, scaly lure that extends from a its forehead. Bubbles soon realizes that he should be paying attention the the creature's weapon instead:

-> Glaive-like Pole Arm vs. Bubbles: Attack: 13 Damage: 4  

-> Glaive-like Pole Arm vs. Bubbles: Attack: 17 Damage: 5  

One of the slashes is accurate enough to draw blood. (Bubbles takes 8 slashing damage, already halved.) 

Edit: Apologies. I completely forgot that one of the Light Sahuagins was stunned. Therefore, he does not move or hide.

The other lightly armored enemy swims in a southwest direction, allowing himself to be hidden by the turvy water and unnatural darkness once more. Without actively looking for him (that is, taking the search action), no locathah can tell exactly where he is (even those with darkvision).

(Sandlot and Barnacle are up next.) 

Despite the many adverseries arranged before the party, and knowing what he too knew of Sahaugin's nature, Sandlot kept calm and neutral in expression. Fury would have its moment, of that Sandlot was certain. "But not thish... one, thish one knows..." He burbled while reaching into a side pouch. From within which, he produced what looked like an old, silver music box, and clasped its dented metal shell to his chest. "My lady..." He murmured, before rasping out something in elvish.

The box cracks open on its own, and spilling from within it is a lime, green light. A similar light appears about the impaired Sahaugin for just a few moments. But, this would be more than enough for the light to burn like an unquenchable flame.

After, another note in burbled, summoning  a semi-translucent lime, green shell about Sandlot. Those with hostile intent would find it hard to even look at him without flinching at just the mere sight of the barrier. so. Its magics done, the box once closes on its own.

Action: Search for hidden Sahaugin: 15. (assumes disadv. due to unnatural darkness)

Action: Cast (Cantrip)Sacred Flame on stunned Sahaugin, inflicting 8 radiant damage on a failed Dex Save(DC 15).

Bonus Action: Cast (1st level)Sanctuary on Sandlot.

Movement: To P-11.

Barnacle curses as one of the enemies seem to disappear, turning his attention to the one that had attacked Bubbles. Readying himself for a fight he will swim toward the one that attacked his barbarian comrade, raising both his trident and shield. As he gets close he will attempt to jab the pronged weapon into his for quickly. As he does so he will use a Feinting Attack to add 8 damage to the first attack and gain advantage on the second.

Attack 1: Attack: 24 Damage: 10

Attack 2 With Advantage: Attack: 19 Damage: 14

(@DD: I believe the additional damage from Feinting Attack is added to the same attack that gains advantage.)

Worried about the evil intent of the sahuagin who went missing, Sandlot produces a protective mantle from within a silvery music box (reliquary?) Then, while swimming slowly toward the physical confrontation to the northeast portion of the wreck, a second ray of light from the silver box forms into a bout of flames, which the stunned sahuagin cannot avoid (Light Sahuagint#1 takes 8 radiant damage.) 

In a more direct approach, Barnacle swims quickly to Bubbles' aid. In a well-practiced maneuver, the fighter stabs, feints, and stabs again, easily duping the sahuagin into taking the full damage of his attacks. Blood floats our of the six holes Barnacle creates, but the enemy does not seem any slower just yet. (Light Sahuagin#2 takes 32 magical piercing damage.)

Having watched enough of the fight, the more heavily armored sahuagins move forward to take part in it. As they approach, you all notice that their plate-like armor is decorated with the bones of its defeated foes, some of which may have belonged to locathah, you ponder. 

The first of them has a grotesquely-jagged blade in one hand and a shield in the other. He joins his brethren in fighting Barnacle, despite his partially frozen foot delaying him a bit. The second carries the same type of equipment, but seems to be favoring his sharp teeth and claws for the moment. He swims quickly toward Shanty.

-> Grotesque Blade vs. Barnacle: Attack: 15 Damage: 16 

-> Bite vs. Shanty: Attack: 16 Damage: 8 

Barnacle raises his shield for a well-timed block, but Shanty's lack of experience with close-quarter combat shows. The bard has to resort to a magical Shield to avoid the attack.  

-> Grotesque Blade vs. Barnacle: Attack: 23 Damage: 17 

-> Claw vs. Shanty: Attack: 18 Damage: 7 (15.)

Barnacle cannot shift his shield as quickly as the enemy shifts his blade, paying for it with a thigh cut. The enemy can sniff his blood in the water. Shanty's Shield holds back another attack. (Barnacle takes 17 slashing damage.) 

-> Grotesque Blade vs. Barnacle: Attack: 21 Damage: 15 

-> Claw vs. Shanty: Attack: 22 Damage: 6 (16)

A quick twist of the grotesque blade cuts Barnacle's lower leg, several inches below the cut to his thigh. A set of lanceolate claws drag against Shanty's chest, bypassing his defensive spell.  (Barnacle takes 15 slashing damage; Shanty takes 6 slashing damage.) 

-> Shanty's concentration check {DC 10}: 18  

One of the sahuagins then flicks a fin toward Undertow. The giant shark, which must be some 30 feet long, responds by flicking its tail to gain speed and opening its jaws for a massive bite. Ready for the assault, Riptide unleashes its coiled tentacles once the shark is close enough.

-> Binding Strike vs. Giant Shark: Attack: 23 Damage: 10   

-> Bite vs. Undertow: Attack: 29 Damage: 41  

Riptide manages to hurt the shark, but not enough to distract it from furiously crunching down on its master. It's a miracle that Undertow in not cut in half. (Giant Shark takes 10 bludgeoning damage; Undertow takes 41 piecing damage.)

To make matters worst, Riptide's tentacles are not long enough to grapple the shark (more than one size larger than the grappling creature.) 

END OF INITIATIVE ROUND 1 

If the wounded Heavy Sahuagin was the one that returns to attack Barnacle, Bubbles will shout a quick curse "The black water take you!" and then move to attack assuming that he can do so without proviking an opportunity attack (otherwise he just shoots straight up at the light Sahuagin and attacks instead) again deciding that charging straight in (Reckless attack) with the pike leading is the best strategy given the result last time.

Great Weapon Master strike with Pike +2 Attack: 17 Damage: 22 + Divine Fury [roll]1d6+4[/roll

If the opponent is still up he will strike again, if not he will attack the Light Sahuagin with Bonus Action (Great Weapon Master), using the momentum of the attack to follow through

Pike +2 Attack: 25 Damage: 20 

and then strike with his second attack

Pike +2 Attack: 18 Damage: 20 

Rolls are as first rolled, noting that the Divine Fury roll missed a "]" initially so when I edited to complete it now comes up with the "manipulation"...which is not correct 

Oops apologies...I was actually wrong with that statement....just reversed the edit to reinstate original and it would appear the rolls did change.

Addition roll for Divine Fury here instead 8

Shanty will shield, blocking all but the 22.

He hisses in pain, then grins jaggedly at the sahuagin.  He plays a single sharp note, then lets the silence build until it seems to trap the sahuagin in front of him (hold person, I believe they’re humanoids).

(DC 15 Wis save)

He’ll command his tentacle on to the same one, placing the chill of the deep into it.

Attack: 24 (Adv: 7) Damage: 6 cold and 10 ft speed reduction, 5 if auto crit

In Gulp's books (assuming he read any) the shark was not the biggest threat (well, it was, but only by size). The monk was going to ignore it and going after the masters. However, that overgrown future breakfast (not to himself to not forget to take the good parts with them) almost ate up the youngster under his care. The good thing, Gl'Ulp did not even have to move anywhere to hit the target - it was right here and too big to miss.

Attack 1: Emboldening Bond 3 + Attack: 16 Damage: 6

1 Ki for Stunning Strike (the target is stunned until the end of your next turn if it fails a CON saving throw (DC 15).)

Attack 2: Attack: 17 Damage: 8

BA: Flurry of Blows:  Attack: 22 Damage: 9

                                     Attack: 10 Damage: 6

If Stunning Strike worked, then 3 more attack rolls for advantage from stun:  24,  24 and 23

Use Drunken Technique to move to R6 ((Special): Whenever you use Flurry of Blows, you gain the benefit of the Disengage action, and your walking speed increases by 10 ft. until the end of the current turn.)

MAP:

NOTES: The Driftglobe is on the deck of the ship, on {N-8}.

(Bubbles, Shanty, Gulp, and Undertow are up next.) 

(@MuggsHill, @Shadow, and @Blue: I know you have already posted but I figured I'd give you a chance to revise anything you see fit now that the updated initiative tracker and map are up. Don't forget that you each have one extra d4 to add to a single attack in your turn.)

Correction to Gulp's move: it will be R6 (changed it in the post as well)

Edited - Bubbles, after getting hit with the reach weapon, decides to deal with the immediate threat to avoid any chance of an opportunity attack, so please amend in line with below

Roll 1 - first attack (now targeting light sahuagin) Att 17, Dam 30 (with Divine Fury)

Roll 2 - Great Weapon Master bonus attack if opponent went down (would be on heavy Sahuagin closest)  Att 25, Dam 20

Roll 3 - second attack (which would be used on Light Sahuagin if did not go down, or the Heavy if it did)  Att 18, Dam 20

If the hold person goes through Shanty will move backwards to R12.

Bubbles continues to duel the more lightly armored sahuagin just in front of him. The contrast in style between Bubbles and Barnacle is mesmerizing. The fighter jabs his trident with precisely measured movements, accurately aimed vitals, and well-practiced foot/fin-work. The barbarian jams his pike into the nearest enemy recklessly, opening cavernous wounds and causing enough internal damage that it almost doesn't matter what organs were struck. What a duo!

Bubbles' enchanted pike (can we get a name for it?) thrusts forward, bursting into holy light once inside the sahuagin's torso. A second jab at the same spot causes the tip of the pike to appear on the other side of the enemy. Despite the massive amount of damage, the sahuagin is still moving. (Light Sahuagin#2 takes 50 magical piercing and radiant damage.) 

(@MuggsHill: He didn't die, so the third/extra attack from the Great Weapon Master feat is not triggered.) 

DM's Screen:

Gulp sees that Undertow is in peril and rushes to his aid. The first strike against the shark is a headbutt which, despite not stunning the target as intended, leads the way in damaging the shark. Gulp follows that up with two more rapid kung-fu chops, each leaving a nearly-instant bruise on the overgrown dogfish. A third chop is attempted, but the delivery is not as hardy (Giant Shark takes 23 magical bludgeoning damage.)

As the monk backs up a bit from the shark, he notices that the previously stunned sahuagin is just now shaking himself awake again. 

DM's Screen:

(@Shadow: If you want, you can use your Emboldened Bond d4 on your tentacle attacks.)

Shanty attempts to trap the heavily armored sahuagin in front of him before whipping the summoned tentacle at him as well. The plan works like a charm, paralyzing the enemy and whacking it on the side of the head. (Assuming you moved the tentacle to within 5ft of the target,) the defenseless sahuagin cannot avoid the attack. (Heavy Sahuagin#1 takes 11 cold damage.) 

As a sheet of ice forms over the enemy's left eye, Shanty backs up a bit.

-> Concentration on Detect Magic is dropped. 

(Undertow's turn is still up.) 

(OOC: This turn will also be auto-piloted.)

Fighting off the pain and surprise associated with the devastating bite, Undertow quickly shifts from his crossbow to his enchanted short blade and stabs the shark twice. Undertow also commands Riptide to whip the shark with its tentacles. 

-> Shortsword, +2 vs Giant Shark: Attack (Emboldened Bond): 29 Damage: 12  

-> Shortsword, +2 vs Giant Shark: Attack: 22 Damage: 11  

-> Binding Strike vs. Giant Shark: Attack: 15 Damage: 14   

The locathah-octopus duo deliver blow after blow, filling the waters about them with shark blood. (Giant Shark takes 30 magical piercing and bludgeoning damage.) 

All the blood in the water fuels the sahuagins' wrath. The pole-arm wielding one dueling Bubbles continues to attack in spite of being heavily wounded.  

-> Glaive-like Pole Arm vs. Bubbles: Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.  

-> Glaive-like Pole Arm vs. Bubbles: Attack: 24 Damage: 32  

Bubbles blocks one of the attacks with the shaft of his pike, but the other swing hits his belly. (Bubbles takes 4 slashing damage, already halved.)

No longer stunned, the other lightly armored sahuagin swims forward {Q-6} to meet Gulp in combat. There is a glint of vengeance on his fishy eyes. 

-> Bite vs. Gulp: Attack: 17 Damage: 6  

The skin on Gulp's left shoulder apparently makes for a good snack. The monk can't help but wince a bit. The taste of fresh food drives the sahuagin to attack even more fiercely (Gulp takes 7 piercing damage.) 

-> Claws vs. Gulp: Attack: 22 Damage: 9  

-> Claws vs. Gulp: Attack: 21 Damage: 9 

Gulp is more aware of the assault now and reacts accordingly. Both attempted clawings fail. 

(Sandlot and Barnacle are up next.)
