Vhon's bolt flies true and buries itself in the chest of the monster knocking it off the sea stack into the sea swirling at its base.
As the song which had so enchanted Floki stops he shakes his head (Wis DC 11 - 4) , however the second song soon takes over and he continues to force his way up the cliff, pushing past the others to reach E8. (OOC: at the end of his turn Floki gets to make another DC 11 [Wis] save)
Simultaneously Gilly attracted by the song starts to climb the path up towards the singing. He eventually reaches D11. (OOC: at the end of his turn Gilly gets to make another DC 11 [Wis] save)
Zepher also attracted by the song pushes past both Vhon Cedark and Floki to reach F7 where he teeters on the edge of the cliff. (OOC: Zeph you get to make two saves - DC 11 [Wis] the first is for being in a dangerous position and the second is for it being the end of your turn.
Seeing both Floki and Gilly snap out of the trance and realising that with Rib now being food for crabs, Thigh realises that the battle is far more one sided than she would prefer. She takes off to the east - covering 80 feet - screeching out as she does "wait till I tell Ma what you did to Rib!. You'll be sorry!"
As she stops signing Zeph snaps out of his trance finding himself standing on the edge of a cliff!
Floki spits on the ground in the direction of the fleeing harpy. "And cowards too! They didn't give Bessy a chance to say G'day!" he mutters as he pats the head of the axe on his right hip.
As Gilly regains his senses, his eyes narrow and his skin visibly darkens. He watches as the harpy attempts to escape. Any of his comrades watching him see his lips move, but they hear nothing.
As Gilly regains his senses, his eyes narrow and his skin visibly darkens. But then he closes his eyes, takes a few deep breaths, and his skin returns to its watery blue. Opening his eyes, he looks at Vhon with a sideways grin. "Sorry I couldn't stop 'em, Cap'n. But it looks like we all made it OK."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"We need to get away from the cliff edge in case it comes back which it's mother, and maybe more of its kind, we can't risk being made to walk off the cliff side by that damn song, keep your weapons to hand lads, shoot before they get in range if you can Zin, that longbow might be enough to scare them off." As Vhon speaks he moves himself away from the edge and looks out to see which direction the harpy has headed off in. Aiming a third shot he mutters "Well you never know..." before sending another bt at the harpy despite the long distance and the wind.

"Of course don't let me stop you from shooting it down first."
As the crew are standing on the clifftop watching the Harpy fly away, Floki peers closely at the mess of bones - some human, some not - sticks and other rubbish that formed the Harpies' nest, look away, rub his eyes and then peer at the nest again. He turns to Vhon Cedark and says "I'm not absolutely sure but it looks like there is something gleaming in the nest over there" pointing to the middle of the nest.
Vhon Cedark looks where Floki is pointing and says "I think you're right!"

"So, which of you brave fellows is going to climb down and then up there and check out whatever that is glinting over in the nest?"Checking the mechanism of the crossbow he reloads it "Don't worry I'll have you covered in case our friend comes back - three for three so far, not bad for a poor old captain eh?"
OOC - Vhon is in his 40's but as a half elf looks younger.
"I'll get it captain!" The tabaxi will say as he takes a few steps back from the ledge and looks to Vhon. "Although I don't really like the sound of all that climbing.. Maybe we can try something a little different" Zephyr would say with a toothy grin. He would then make his way to the edge of the cliff once a gain, standing at the closest point between the cliff and the nest. Reaching up he will place one of his black clawed hands around the crystal dangling form his neck. taking a few steps backwards, the tabaxi will take a deep breath before quickly moving towards the edge of the cliff. Right before jumping, Zephyr would cast jump on himself as a small cyclone seems to encase his body for just a moment. As Zephyr flies through the air towards the nest, he would use his tempest magic to help aid him in crossing the gap.
Tempestuous MagicSCAG, pg. 52
As a bonus action, you can cause gusts of air to surround you before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that allows you to fly up to 10 ft. without provoking opportunity attacks.
Tempestuous Magic: 1 Bonus Action
Jump Spell: You touch a creature. The creature's jump distance is tripled until the spell ends.
"Good idea Zeph" Vhon calls over to the tabaxi as he lands from the jump. As he does he keeps his crossbow ready looking back towards the east in case the harpy returns. "What did you find?"

"Standback" Zeph says to the rest of the crew as he moves back ten feet, places one of his black clawed hands around the crystal dangling from his neck, takes a deep breath before quickly moving towards the edge of the cliff. Right before jumping, the crystal flashes and Zeph launches into the air. Realising that he has misjudged how close the distance is, it is only because a strong northerly gust (crosswind) suddenly hits him that he lands on the far side of the nest rather than overshooting it. Even so he has to frantically scrabble for a footing to avoid falling into the ocean on the far side. He quickly sorts through the detritus of the nest and grabs some coins, several gemstones and two scroll cases before taking a more measured run-off and easily clearing the distance back to the cliff-top.
"What did you find?"Vhon Cedark asks
"About 50 Danter (GP), five gems, this must have been the one that caught Floki's eye" holding up a brilliant pink stone "and these two scroll cases" Zeph replies
"Booty to be split down the middle I think gentlemen, despite half of you bumbling around the entire time" the Captain says with a chuckle as he take s a piece of Obsidian and some coins, "Ten Danter each and a shiny little stone to play with as well. Zeph you going to keep hold of those scrolls, if you can use them great, if not we'll try and sell them and split the cash."
