With the others watching the creatures in the water, Brotherhood will shift his focus to the shore, keeping eye for anything suspicious while preparing to go ashore.
You continue onward, and the island is soon only a little ways away. The boat slows down, and preparations are made to anchor the ship. Suddenly, you all hear a voice in your head.
We warned you.
The shapes, which until now merely followed the ship, suddenly swim closer and begin to surface. First a bumpy, spiky, broad head, with bulbous, yellow eyes and a wide, dripping mouth, filled with thousands of sharp teeth. As they begin to scale the ship, you can see their long, clawed fingers, four to each hand. They're like massive, hellish frogs, straight out of a thalassophobe's nightmares.
Roll Initiative, y'all!

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Renn has heard of these creatures. They are fiends, yugoloths, to be exact. They ordinarily live inside the cold waters of the river Styx, so she finds it quite odd to see them so far from their home.
Initiative order:
Aka & Pierpont
Hydroloths 1 & 3
Brotherhood
Hydroloth 2
Helena & Renn
Aka & Pierpont, you're up! The hydroloths are surrounding the ship, two on the port side, one on the starboard side. At the moment they seem to only be clinging to the sides of the ship, not climbing.
Aka looks at the creatures on the port side beginning a spell and then states, "Well obviously you don't belong here as well, so begone!" finishing the spell.
Twinned 4th Level banishment using 4 sorcery points.
The arrow strikes true, and the yugoloth flinches as it burrows itself into its hide.
Hydroloths 1 & 3 are up!
Both fiends finish climbing up the side of the ship, and immediately begin wreaking havoc. The portside hydroloth immediately goes after Aka, dagger-like claws bared. It makes two quick slashes at her.
Attack: 25 Damage: 14
Attack: 16 Damage: 13
The other yugoloth picks up a sailor and flings him into the inky black water. It then lets out a horrible howl, and all those near it are filled with panic.
The Hydroloth casts fear, targeting Brotherhood, Helena, and Renn! DC 16 Wis Save or suffer the effects of the spell!

Pierpont, standing in the port side, sees the first of these creatures vanishes he quickly raises his bow and fires at the other one.

Aka, make a concentration check, as you were hit by one attack.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
OOC: because of my assassinate trait my hit before should have been a critical hit, which means there would be an extra 5d6 damage.
17
can you add this if not too late?
Concentration: 22
Since Brotherhood failed the save, on his turn he will end up dashing to the opposite end of the ship away from the creature.
Alright, so Hydroloth 1 has taken 44 damage.
Renn Save: 21
Brotherhood dashes away, and is now well out of the Hydroloth's reach.
Hydroloth 2 has been zooped away, so Helena and Renn are up!
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Renn moves into melee with the closer Hydroloth, casting booming blade, then attacking with her greatsword.
Attack: 12 Damage: 32
On a hit, the Hydroloth takes 3d8 Thunder damage if it moves before my next turn.
