Sloop points out the hellish markings on the side of the ship to the crew members who hung back (aka "the cool crew"). History check (what are the markings?): 5
Erriviel studies the symbol briefly, not knowing what it is but guessing the identity of its creators, and brings the onboard crew together for a meeting.
"It seems the Suel Imperium are aware of our existence and actively trying to stamp us out, so we will need to have stricter watches aboard the ship, even during the day. Chandor, Sloop, and Sana, I want you to take positions on the top deck so that you all are in sight of each other and have a good view of the harbor and surrounding waters. Grishkar, come with me and search the ship. If they could get this close to the ship to draw this marking, I'm sure there are hidden surprises waiting elsewhere."
If no one has any objections to Erriviel's orders, he'll begin to search the ship for any other traps or stowaways.

Grishkar follows with Jeremiah in tow, "When the others get back, we really must place crewmen throughout the wharf to ensure they aren't being followed back."

Sana chews her lip, worried. "Yes sir, Quartermaster," she says with a nod to Erriviel. Up on deck, Sana quietly positions herself near a gun before scanning the waters and dock carefully, looking for threats, fingers drumming on the hilt of her longsword.

Sloop quickly scampers up to the crows nest, where he can get a good 360 degree view all around the ship, and easily see those who are coming towards it.
"Stop hitting him and hit me instead, you ****ers!" Kali seethes, bringing the smack down on Cultist 3 with her greataxe.

When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly, giving you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using STR during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

Carrhae's going to spend her reaction to throw her shield in front of Kali and make that cultist roll again, because she doesn't like it when her friends get critted on.

Misha laughed. "Ya!" she agreed. "Hard to teech Suel Eemperium lesson when wheefing air!"
The sounds of the fight attracted more reinforcements. 3 more cultists join the fray with daggers drawn! "Get them!" One of them yells. "Ah! More target practice!" Misha said happily.
