Looking at the hand curiously, Zeng says, I’m Zeng sir, I-“ before hearing the shouting on deck. Rushing upstairs, Zeng looks around to spot the red ball. (Have they seen anything like this before? Do they know what it is? History if needed 14)
If Zeng is at all familiar with the monsters of Limbo, Zeng has a pretty good idea what it might be: a Slaad, using Limbo's subjective gravity to hurtle through the void at targets of opportunity.
Seeing the slaad, Zeng rushes to the railing, pulling their crude longbow into their hands. “Kill it! Kill it now! Don’t let it come close!” Pulling our an arrow, they ready it for when it comes into their longbows furthest range (600 ft) and then firing until it’s either dead or it’s dead.
"HOLD FIRE! I CAN'T HAVE YOU SHOOTING AT ANYTHING KID! TELL ME WHAT IT IS FIRST" Allea calls then tries herself to identify the object (History:12) the the ship turns in her hands lining up the port side. "Someone ready on sails in case we need to leave quickly! kid get on the ballista but hold fire until we know what it is" suddenly an unknown crew member bursts on to the deck firing on the red thing "WHO IN THE NINE HELLS ARE YOU? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY SHIP!?" her jovial smile now gone furious eyes now fixate on the dwarfish figure

"AYE AYE CAPTAIN."Alphonse wastes no time in taking up his position at the ballista, excitement creeping through him at the possibility of practicing his marksmanship.
Alphonse will ready his action to shoot the red object, once he receives confirmation that it is hostile.
"Stand Firm, my friends, if an enemy approaches, we will have the Gods on our side!" Shouts Wilhelm and Casts Bless on Allea, Zeng and Alphonse.
OOC: As I don't really know who's closest, I just chose the three last posters, though if any of them is too far from Wilhelm, feel free to reassign the buff to whoever else is closes to Wilhelm.

Breeze grumbles as folks begin spiraling out into order shouting and other such nonsense. She climbs back down the rigging from the crows nest as the object continues to get closer. A snap of her fingers puts Steve back around her neck as she walks over to the action.
The Kenku girl heads over to Zeng. Standing within 10 feet of the archer. Her head turns as she gives a small nod. With a fewarcane words, mystic energy scatters into her hand with a sharp sound of static.
If the creature is within 150 feet, blasting now. If not.. hold action: blast when it gets within 150.

Seeing Alphonse hop onto the ballista Addison will do the sails by himself attempting to watch what's going on.
7 Perception
Under his breath while he works the sails Addison will whisper to himself "I'm the man before the mast That ploughs the raging sea And on this simple subject Will you please enlighten me Common sailors we are called Come tell me the reason why"
giving Inspiration to Alphonse
OOC: I know the creature needs to hear me but I was wondering if since I'm college of whispers if I could whisper it and have it just carry on the wind or something. If not he will just sing it out loud instead of whispering.
( I have a plan to end the encounter but I'm going to need all of you. And DM I'm going to need to know if this is possible ? can we hit the slaad really hard with the full force of the boat like a bat by using the anchor ? if so i have blessing I'm gonna need inspiration to pull this off and alphonse, zeng and breeze on port side to hit it after we baseball bat it so it doesn't come back. wilhelm on anchor not only to drop it but to raise it and addison on sails also would appreciate advantage of a help action) (below is the proposed plan)
“I am Zeng! And that is a slaad. It will put eggs in us and make babies out of our corpses! Not pretty sight, trust me ma’am.” Ignoring the order to stop firing, Zeng will attack again. (How far away is it? How fast does it seem to be going?)
The Slaad is close; two more arrows sink into it, it is still coming!
(I love the idea of hitting it like a baseball bat with the ship's anchor; make a Water Vehicles (Dexterity) check to pilot the ship like crazy, you'll need a good roll to do it but it's possible!)

(Not sure if the readied action went off once the Slaad was in range...)

Breeze notices the creatue land. Her left talon, reaches into her pocket. The petrified eye of a newt rolling into her fingers while she casts Hex on the Slaad. (Chosen ability: DEX). She moves about 30 feet away from the creature as quickly as possible, before her right hand once again charges as she chants that static. Another two blasts volleying at the creature.

As the object gets closer, Allea has a pretty good hunch that the circular red object is either a Slaad or, worse, a Beholder.
With amazing markspersonship, Zeng nails the approaching object with two arrows! It is still approaching fast, however.

(Closeness are farness are relative things, especially in Limbo; you're good.)

Noticing the captain yelling order Addison will assume something big is planned and he will whisper another verse.
"Come all you young sailormen, listen to me
I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea"
Allea has inspiration
The Slaad avoids the anchor, smashing into the deck at high speed! The Slaad stands, and croaks threateningly!
