Rel sighs. This is decidedly not what she wanted. If the Captain had said nothing, then she would be all for the fight, but she can't help thinking that the Captain had his reasons for commanding them to sail away. Still, if it is going to be a battle, then let us win it.
Since her four companions are crossing over, she herself casts Guidance on herself and makes for the lookout perch when she sees that the others are about to make it onto the deck of the pirate ship. If she fails to get to the perch, she will use her Fey TouchedMisty Step.
Seeing Thren call for his own Bless on herself and the others, Rel switches the three targets of her own angelic Bless to be Thren, Zandir, and a crewmember guarding the cargo hold door in case a spellcaster attempts to beguile the first mate or whichever crewmember is guarding the cargo hold door. (So now Rel, Tex, Zane, Bellamy, Thren, Zandir and helpful crewmember should all have Bless) on them.
She dons her shield but does not wield her black warhammer, leaving a hand free to hold on and cast spells, keeping an eye out for anyone that might be trying to sneak the other way, onto the Dragonfly, or for anything happening near the cargo hold door.
Bellamy and Zane both instinctually pounce at the ship, claws extended, and grab onto the side of the boat, climbing with ease. Zane tries to encourage Tex but the words are lost on the poor Kobold as he tries to hang on. Thren tries to jump but trips over his heavy armor and falls over the side of the Dragonfly. He manages to grab ahold of the other boat as he falls. Bellamy climbs over the railing, ties off a rope ends and drapes it down.
Meanwhile, Melby takes a gander of the ship and reports back to Bellamy.
Sorry I don't have a double ship map for this. Rel, the red rectangle represents the dragonfly. You are perched 30 feet up and have good view of the field.
"You come aboard at set my sails on fire! I will end you Piss on the Wind. Nyaghhh!" The bearded man slashes his scimitar at Captain Flame twice and again with a dagger in a flurry of anger. The agile Captain Flame dodges them all.
Bearded man three attacks at Captain Flame. To hit: 9, 7, 7 all miss.
DM: Please wait for Zane to act on what I messaged in the private message channel. Then Thren is up.
Upon climbing up Zane will attempt to sneak up on one of the crew (stealth check in game log: 26) and attack with advantage: 21 to hit, 5 piercing damage.
The pirate furthest west, seeing the boarding party unleashes a crossbow bolt at Zane. The bolts aim is off and hits the pirate next to Zane in the shoulder instead. Blood spurts from it "What the bloody hell man. Watch where you're shooting that thing."
Captain Flame shouts, "What are you doing? I said to flee to Port Damali! We can't take them on!" Captain Flame in an attempt to defend himself un-sheaths a dagger from his waste. Attacking three times at the bearded man. The blade draws blood, once from his thigh and once more from his forearm.
Crossbow attack on Zane. Natural 1 critical miss. Hits the Pirate near Zane for 4 piercing damage. That pirate is in critical condition.
Captain Flame, three dagger attacks on bearded pirate. 16, 6, 18, two attacks hit for 12 piercing damage.
Rel feels sick to her stomach. Her thoughts lurch, seeking frantically to blame anyone but herself:
Why wouldn't they listen to me? Captain Flame on Water clearly commanded us to sail away. He knows far more about these pirates than we do. What are we thinking, getting ourselves into a deadly mid-ocean fight against unknown enemies that may be part of a larger, deadly group of Revelry Pirates?
Yet aloud, she calls from her perch only: "I am sorry, Captain. It is my fault." Her voice sounds strangely flat and deadpan. Far away.
Once more, Rel's grey irises strobe black, once, twice, then remain as dark as her pupils. A thin, black ephemeral filament reaches out from her earrings, seeking and wafting over 30' to the Bearded Man, settling lightly on the top of his head. Attaching ever so gently. (Bonus Action: Hexblade's Curse).
A jet black beam of force shoots from her free hand at the Bearded Man: Eldritch Blast To Hit: 23 + 3 from Bless = 26 Eldritch Blast plus Hexblade's Curse Damage: 13 + 2 = 15 force damage Repelling Blast: the Bearded Man is slammed south and down 10' (depending on the angle). If down, might this knock him prone?
With her movement, Rel herself then drops prone on her perch to confer disadvantage to ranged attacks against her.
Zane continues attacking the same pirate he already did. Attack: 8+3(from Bless), damage (just in case): 9.
He looks around and sees Bellamy getting ready for action and says, "Nice climbing, lets do some killing now," granting him bardic inspiration dice (d6).
Tex grabbed Bellamy’s rope and started to climb up. ‘It’s way easier this way… ,’ he thinks just before the moment when both his feet slip to the side, leaving him dangling from the side of the ship and eliciting a grunt. ‘… or not.’
The Pirates, seeing one of their own drop, unleash a volley of crossbow bolts at their crewmates killer. Do of them strike Zane, one piercing deeper than the other, puncturing his liver.
You hear a strange voice come from the stairwell of the pirates ship. "Is there a problem up here?" You see a tall green skinned humanoid figure. Extremely skinny with pointed ears, dark spike hair, yellow eyes. Wearing almost tribal warrior attire. "Thought we were going to raid a goblin village. Looks like you are being raided yourself...by the Tabaxi smuggler no less"
You hear Captain Flame call out "Oh shit, he is still with you. This is why I told you all to flee!"
The tall skinny figure walks to the edge of the boat and misty step 's up to the railing of the perch with Rel. He holds onto the mast with one hand and with the other, holds a massive sword over his shoulder. "Good view from here, who would you say is winning?"
"We'll take care of em no problem"the bearded man shouts as he swings three more times at Captain Flame. The captain unable to avoid all strikes takes a cut from the scimitar to his shoulder,
All pirates shoot crossbows at Zane, 20, 18, 4 to hit. Total of 16 piercing damage. Two of them position strategically near the bearded man.
A new NPC has joined the initiative.
The bearded pirateswings three times at captain flame, 12, 21, 6 to hit. One hits for 7 slashing damage
Bellamy will aid his companions by tying a rope from his pack onto the railing and tossing the other end to his companions still on the ship.

He doe snot fall prone. I numbered the pirates both on the map and in initiative order so you can tell which one you target specifically.
Zane is up
Zane continues attacking the same pirate he already did. Attack: 8+3(from Bless), damage (just in case): 9.
He looks around and sees Bellamy getting ready for action and says, "Nice climbing, lets do some killing now," granting him bardic inspiration dice (d6).
The pirate dodges the rapier attack from Zane as he hangs on for dear life.
Zane rapier attack to hit: 9 misses
Bellamy is up
Bellamy quick cast magic missile at the same enemy Zane attacked
3 orbs of force slams into his intended target
Damage orb 1
4
Damage orb 2
2
Damage orb 3
5
If any enemy attacks Bellamy he will use shield to increase AC to 19
The force of the orbs pummel the pirate, though one would have been enough to kill him, Bellamy makes sure he is truly truly dead.
Pirate4 us no longer alive
Tex is up
Tex grabbed Bellamy’s rope and started to climb up. ‘It’s way easier this way… ,’ he thinks just before the moment when both his feet slip to the side, leaving him dangling from the side of the ship and eliciting a grunt. ‘… or not.’

Thren is up
Zane tried to use Cutting Words against the second attack of the pirate, but it wasn't enough to turn it aside.
On the pirates' turn, Rel casts Silvery Barbs (60' range) as a reaction to the pirate's critical hit on Zane, reaching to her Fey Touched ancestry.
The pirate must re-roll their attack and keep the lower roll (so no crit unless they crit again).
The spell also lets Rel grant advantage to a creature's next attack, ability check or save, and she chooses herself.
