Ackam raises his double-bladed scimitar over his head and screams like a castrated banshee as he goes into a barbaric rage. His sword held high he rushes into combat slicing at the Merrow's (M2) chest. "Ya smell like a condemned whore house, ya basterd!"
Feeling a slight magical boost from Mikkael’s blessing and a sudden craving for sushi thanks to Agency, she launches all three magic missiles at the monstrous squid-like creature. Hey look, fried calamari you guys!!
Agency launches her attack at the hideous Sahuagin swinging her staff at his neck but his fishy quickness and innate desire to protect his gills allow him to avoid the blow, however, this leaves him off balance when her tail slams into him knocking him off the railing. He somehow manages to keep his feet and narrows his eyes and swishes his own tail in annoyance.
Aedra sends her magic missiles flying into the injured giant octopus, technically a septapus now, not doing a ton of damgage, but scaring the beast enough to send a second smaller burst of ink into Tibus' face.
Issa moves to the aft side of Mer1 and raises his scimitar which seems to almost glimmer in the darkness Attack: 9 Damage: 8 almost at the same time he attacks with his curved dagger Attack: 1 Damage: 1 the Merrow catches the scimitar on his harpoon and with a flick of his tail sends Issa's dagger spinning into the sea.
Ackam feels the fury of his rage flow through his body as he brings his double bladed scimitar to bear on the prone Merrow the blade biting deeply into it's flesh. The Merrow's laughter falters for a moment 8 but he is unable to stifle it.
Garda, seeing her captain in distress rushes as silently as she can to flank Mer1 and attempt a sneak attack Attack: 9 Damage: 4 sure footed by her aquatic heritage and a lifetime on the sea, she launches herself into the air and drives her trident into the Merrows unprotected side dealing 18 damage.
Sah 4 and 5 move to attack Ackam Sah 4 lunges forward jaws snapping Attack: 9 Damage: 4 and raking at the hafling with his claws Attack: 7 Damage: 3 the Sah 5 moves in biting Attack: 23 Damage: 7 and stabbing with his spear Attack: 19 Damage: 5 the hafling expertly dodges the first attack, but this leaves him open to the second which leaves him bloodied
Varris, seeing his comrades looks towards G1, moves down to 17A. Upon reaching his destination he starts a dark incantation, placing a Hex on it to curse its Wisdom. On beat, as he finishes the incantation he points at G1, smiles, and says time marches on, friend. With that, the sound of dolorous bells fill the fishy air.
I don't wanna backseat, but wouldn't Gard get advantage and Ackam have resistance?
Yes, Ackam gets resistance i don’t think there’s a way to include that in the attack roll, but yes, the damage is halved. I’ll try to remember to refer to it for flavor’s sake. I thought I put advantage on Garda’s attack but in my haste I guess I missed it.. I’ll roll to retcon that.
Garda, seeing her captain in distress rushes as silently as she can to flank Mer1 and attempt a sneak attack Attack: 11 Damage: 5 sure footed by her aquatic heritage and a lifetime on the sea, she launches herself into the air and drives her trident into the Merrows unprotected side dealing 18 damage.
“Aw no ye don’ yeh mershites!” Earthhand moves up and left one (D17) and casts faerie fire on B-E10-13. Two of the small mercreatures, as well as one of the larger ones, (S1, S2, and M2) find themselves illuminated with green light and must make a dexterity save (DC14) to avoid the spell.
OOC: With the updated map I am retconning to this.
Varris looks over at the dead body of S4 as well as the very live body of S5, and decides he needs to reposition. Reciting an incantation from his younger days, Varris places a Hex on S5 cursing it’s wisdom. With the curse in place, Varris puts an outstretched hand on S5’s face. Smiling he says letMishkala’slightflowthroughyou and casts Shocking Grasp.
Roll:Attack: 19 Damage: 1 Hex bonus: 6
If the attack is successful he moves to A16 if not, he stands in place and will use shield on any successful attack.
Sahuagin 1 and 2 and Merrow2 begin to glow in the darkness. Their glowing outlines remind Ackam of the effect St. Edrogans fire which sometimes affects masts and riggings at sea. The two Sahuagin bat at their limbs trying to extinguish the phantom flames, the Merrow looks at the flames surrounding his body and burst forth in a fresh gale of gurgling laughter.
Sah 4 is still very much alive, unless I missed something, this will be the first hit to land on one of the Sahuagin... if this changes your move let me know and we’ll retcon the retcon.
Sahuagin 5 is taken completely off guard as Varris makes this seemingly gentle and intimate gesture. Do these airbreathers mean no harm? Do they wish to be friends? Will Schloplebur finally have a... what are they called again, friend? Flipping your fins you don’t get to far, legs are required for AAARGH OH MY GLUB,WHYYYY???? He thinks to himself as Mishkala’s concentrated glory courses through his face, turning his cheek into a lightly fried fish fillet. He jolts as the human moves away and after a moment puts his hand to his charred face. This, Scloplebur, this is what comes of trusting the airbreathers.

BASTION moves quickly up next to ACKAM (c14) and brings an Iron Fist directly into the scaly maw of S1. The soft burn of the Faerie Fire reflecting off its metallic skin. A second punch follows quickly behind.

Mer1 Screams a wet scream as Garda’s spear bites into its flesh. It snaps at Issa Attack: 9 Damage: 9 but he deftly jumps back out of reach of his jaws. Turning his attention from the captain, the Merrow directs a backhand swing with his harpoon at Garda Attack: 19 Damage: 10 the blow strikes her a crushing blow to the side, she cries out in pain before biting down and gritting her teeth through the pain. She claps her hand to her side as dark blood begins to seep through her fingers.
The octopus looks at the architect of its dismemberment and directs an attack at Tibus Attack: 25 Damage: 16 the tentacles wrap around the hulking Minotaur, and despite his struggles, lift him kicking into the air. The octopus turns and drops the thrashing Minotaur off the side of the boat. Tibus reaches out frantically to catch the railing as he falls past 9 he misses and tumbled into the water. The Octopus sets its sights in the one who sent the magic missiles at it and moves 10 feet towards Aedra.
Merrow 2 tries to think about something serious 1 he thinks about his son who he never talks to anymore and grows somber. He struggles to an upright posistion and looks for an opponent to take his feelings of inadequacy as a father out on. His eyes lock on Bael.
I think Agency also landed a tail strike, though that was a different Sahuagin, S8 I believe. Also oh **** @ the Minotaur, how far away from the boat is he??
Well, shit. Barely even lukewarm calamari.
How big are the Merrow?

Bardic inspiration
Ackam raises his double-bladed scimitar over his head and screams like a castrated banshee as he goes into a barbaric rage. His sword held high he rushes into combat slicing at the Merrow's (M2) chest. "Ya smell like a condemned whore house, ya basterd!"
Double-Bladed Scimitar: Attack: 12 Damage: 8
Rage Bonus: +2 to Damage
If that doesn't hit then I'll use my bardic inspiration: 1
are we talking about one of the Merrows? or the giant octopus? lol there's a lot of squid like creatures right now.
large
Oops! Giant octopus!
