For the first time in a long time you see Irostine crack a smile into a cackle of laughter almost grasping for air: "AHAHAHA!! Great show lads! How's the waters!?!" Iro goes back to laughing
Grabbing the axe from Dom’s outstretched hand Saryn swam for the surface. As soon as she breaks the surface she starts laughing uproariously while looking around for a way back onto the ship or the dock.

Dom just barely manages to gasp for air before going back under the waves. He pulls out his dagger and tries to jam in the hull to have a handhold 10 The blade manages to find some grip and Dominique holds on to it for his dear life
As Dom struggles to hold onto his dagger, he suddenly feels the buffeting wind start to cling to his body. The winds rush up from underneath him, lifting him and his dagger 30ft. into the air before depositing him on his feet on the deck of the ship, dripping water soaking the boards. Before you have chance to catch breath, a flamboyantly dressed figure rappels down from a yard above and lands deftly a few meters away. You see a female Air Genasi dressed like a sailor, tricorn hat and all, the right side of her face disfigured by scars that only fire could be responsible for. She removes her hat, showing the bandana beneath keeping her flowing white hair in check, before bowing respectfully to the group.
Her blue eyes land on Dom.
"Are you well, sir? Sincerest apologies for the lift, but that dagger would not have held for long against the waves. You may call me Whistle, I believe that we are to be D party?"
[OoC: I cast Levitate on Dom as per my racial ability.]

The young half-elf stows his blades and wipes aside the wet hair sticking to his face. "Yes well, I am now" Dominique answers, panting as he recovers his breath. "thanks to you that is. Dominique Westward, *Huf... huf* ... pleasure to meet you. Could you lend Saryn the same courtesy or shall we throw her a rope? " he gestures to the edge of the ship where the roars of victory can still be heard from the depts
Whistle leans over the rails and scans the water below.
"By the Stormbringer! I had assumed that was a shark from the way it wildly thrashed about! However, I have upset the blessed winds enough for today. I think a rope will do fine."
The genasi looks to the pair of half-elf men and the human woman expectantly, bearing a smile that seems to tug at her scars and cause discomfort.
He nods in compliance and grabs a rope. One end he knots down along the ships rigging and then throws the rest down for Saryn to grab. Jesl, could you lend me a hand pulling him up? Saryn may be small, but he had a feeling she would be just as frantic in her climbing as she was in her fighting

As everyone pulls themselves back over the side of the ship, a few of the sailors laugh, exchanging some coins. Captain Seafoam scowls slightly, seeming to have lost a bet to her first mate. As Saryn pulls herself over the side of the ship, a loud thunk can be heard as a spear slams into the side of the ship, sending splinters flying in every direction. Looking over the edge, you all can see a collection of shapes swimming alongside the ship. One has a rope tied to the spear, and in a few seconds, the creatures surface, revealing themselves to be sahuagin! The creatures begin to clamber up the side of the ship, seemingly intent on taking at least one of you down with them.
Roll for initiative!

initiative 5Oh crap. Time to put those lessons in teamwork to action. Jesl, tie that rope around your waist. Same to you Saryn. Dominique motions the rope they used to hoist Saryn up, as he starts knotting down the center of it to the riggings ankerpoint Iro, Whisper, ready your bows to pop any face that raises above the edge.
As five sahuagin clamber up your side of the ship, you can hear cries from behind you as the rest of the crew takes on a multitude of sahuagin that have climbed on the other side.
When he is certain the rope is secured, Dominique grabs his bow (move action) and turns to Saryn and Jesl "You are the frontline, the wall of steel! Not because its your job, but because it is who you are. Your indestructable, Impenetrable and unsurmountable. No Fear! No Surrender!" (action: cast Heroism on Jesl, you get 3 temporary hitpoints at the start of every one of your turns) (bonus action: inspire on Saryn, you have a d6 that you can add to 1 attack roll, a save or an ability check during the encounter after you rolled the d20 but before you hear the result)

Irostine's arrow flies just above a sahuagin's head before it pulls itself onto the deck of the ship. The sahuagin scans the deck for the offender and locks eyes with Dominique and his shortbow. Hefting its spear, it hurls it at Dominique, seeking retribution for an injury it didn't even suffer. As the spear leaves its hands, two more sahuagin pull themselves over the edge of the boat and onto the deck.
Sahuagin Thrown Spear Attack against Dominique: 14 for 5 piercing damage.
[Currently, there are 3 sahuagin on the deck of the ship with 2 on the side. One is spearless, having thrown it at Dominique. The other two used their actions to climb the rest of the way.]

Whistle takes out her crossbow and loads a bolt. "Sahuagin shouldn't be a problem Dom, it's the waves you need to be careful of!"

Irostine shakes out of his laughing fit with a face of shock. "Looks like action came to us sooner than we thought!" As he prepares his bow.
Irostine initiative: 15
(Action is coming! Action is coming!)
Jesl starts to nervously whisper something under her breath
Jesl initiative: 11
Initiative Order: Dominque, Irostine, Sahuagin, Whistle, Jesl, Saryn
As five sahuagin clamber up your side of the ship, you can hear cries from behind you as the rest of the crew takes on a multitude of sahuagin that have climbed on the other side.
First up is Dominique!
When he is certain the rope is secured, Dominique grabs his bow (move action) and turns to Saryn and Jesl "You are the frontline, the wall of steel! Not because its your job, but because it is who you are. Your indestructable, Impenetrable and unsurmountable. No Fear! No Surrender!" (action: cast Heroism on Jesl, you get 3 temporary hitpoints at the start of every one of your turns) (bonus action: inspire on Saryn, you have a d6 that you can add to 1 attack roll, a save or an ability check during the encounter after you rolled the d20 but before you hear the result)
Irostine nocks an arrow into his longbow and fires at the nearest threat.
Attack: 14 Damage: 11
(end of turn)
Irostine's arrow flies just above a sahuagin's head before it pulls itself onto the deck of the ship. The sahuagin scans the deck for the offender and locks eyes with Dominique and his shortbow.
