@DM: Oh I wasn't planning on manning the ship myself.
Zack raises his voice to make sure the Captain can hear him. "Captain! We need to get out of here and away from the ruins so that they can't target us anymore. I'm going to try to reduce the amount of fire we're taking while you steer the ship."
True to his word, Zack will try to reduce the number of active threats by casting Sleep on R7 and R8. He knows that it's unlikely he'll be able to put them both to sleep but he hopes to drop one of them.
Zack slings a spell of sleep towards the pair of raptors. Surprising to him, they both seem to slowly lower into amorphous blobs on the side of the ruins.
Ankor decides to keep on the defence, ready to dodge any further assault from the spitting ones.
"A captial idea!" The hippo man tells Zack, returning to the helm and sheathing his weapon. "There is one slight problem with the current plan, though. Our rudder is currently requiring repairs, which will need to wait until we arrive at land suitable enough to setup a small workshop."

Tef's Dex Save(DC 12):13.
"Then we must end this swiftly." Tefkae says while trying to sidestep some acid. Putting away her dagger mid-turn, she spins out of it, whipping up a finger gun at one of the still "conscious" slime critters. "Bang." She said calmly as metal fingertips pop away to reveal barrels glowing red prior to unleashing an explosive round of magic. Hit or miss, her attention immediately turns upon her non-target, searching for a better read on their movements.

"Not to worry,"The hippo captain says, holding his hands firm on the helm. "We've been drifting slowly down the current. It shouldn't be too long before we are away from those rapscallions."
Tefkae deftly dodges, turning to fire on one raptor while working out the other's next moves. The raptor explodes in a pile of black goo. (Raptor #10: Defeated. 12 damage.) Raptor #9's Deception:16 The movements of these creatures is still too foreign for Tefkae to predict.

Ankor's Next turn ( Have a busy day at work) He will walk up to the bow and just take a look around as the battle happened rather quickly when he awoke and he feels he is in no danger from the raptors as the ship slowly drifts onwar., Ankor is quiet, not much for starting a conversation, but tries to listen and pay attention to what his surroundings are offering. wether it is a hostile environment or somewhere he can let his guard down and gather his thoughts as to where they are and how they arrived in such a place. something very foriegn to his usual sceneary.
The remaining conscious raptor looks around, lets out a strange squeak and seems to return to a puddle-like state before seeping into the rocks of the ruin it is standing upon.
"Not to worry, chaps." Captain Obaysch informs the others. "Everything's under control. We should be away from here in a jiffy."
(OOC: I'll drop it out of initiative rounds for now, given that there's two unconscious ones remaining and the ship should be out of their range by the time they awaken.)
Zack sighs and sits down. He doesn't say much. He keeps to himself mostly. He looks around at the scenery. After a bit, he will bring out a blank book from his backpack and begins scrawling something on it.
The ship slowly drifts onwards, the remaining raptors left either sleeping or hiding. "Look at this mess." Captain Obaysch complains, looking at the darkened stains upon the deck. "We need this ship to be impeccable. What if my CO were to have survived? She would have me on latrine duty for a whole cycle." The hippo man stamps his foot on the deck. "Eight-Bit, get up here, we have a deck that needs mopping!"
After a couple of seconds a strange semi-mechanical creature with a spherical body and a large singular eye at its centre steps up from a hole at the back of the ship. On its back are a pair of metallic wings, though one of them is bent badly out of shape. In its hands there is a crooked broom shaft with several strands of undefinable material making a mop head attached to one end.
"Ah, there you are." The captain states jovially. "There's a horrible spill over there." He gestures to where the raptors were. "See to it, will you?"
Eight-Bit's single eye looks from Captain Obaysch to the deck, then it steps forward and places the mop to the deck, beginning to clean.
Tefkae cants her head to the sides twice as she eyes Eight-Bit, and then to the mess. "A moment, Captain. Eight-Bit. I would like to collect some samples to study later." If given the chance the warforged sets to working trying to at least scoop up one vial full of the slime to cap and put away. Immediately after, and with her familiar on her shoulder, she spends the next good while walking around Eight Bit in wide enough circles not to disturb his work. "Captain. Are we to be assigned positions, or given specific tasks to further alleviate this craft's ongoing issues?"

Victoria goes and picks up her book and quill and writes about the encounter they just had. Then she looks up to ask "what's our goal here? Where are we sailing to anyways?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zack stops what he's doing and stares at 8-bit. While it works, he continues to study it from afar, trying to figure out if the thing is "alive" and sentient or not from its mannerisms, activities, body movements etc.
Not sure if this is Investigation or Insight so going to cover both bases.
Insight:13 If Investigation: 18
He tries to drone out all the stuff happening around him to just focus on 8-bit.
@Tefkae, as mentioned in an earlier post, the goop effectively soaks into the wood. You can get a tiny sample, but not a full alchemical vial's worth.
"Well that is still to be determined." Captain Obaysch replies to Victoria. "There is plenty of this astral sea to explore, but there are some... anomalies that I have spotted on my travels; some of which may take us out of this area." The hippo man points a chunky finger at another set of ruins in the shape of an archway. "You see, where I to throw a piece of flotsam into that arcing gap, most likely we would nary see it appear on the other side. Seems like some sort of mystical portal, but to where and whether it is a perfectly safe locale?" The giff pats his lapel again, then mumbles, "Cursed matches. I must find a vendor sometime soon."
Zack examines the strange little creature that the captain calls Eight-Bit. Its movements are fluid as one would expect from a natural creature, though the outer casing depicts some sort of artifical lifeform. However, that eye is most definitely an organic organ, and the part beneath the eye seems flesh-like. It is almost like it is a hybrid of the two. This creature seems completely transfixed on its current task, not noticing Zacks' examination of it as it rhythmically moves the mop from side to side.
Zack continues to stare, lost in though. Zack has decided to call machine-flesh hybrids "Cyborgs"
After a moment or two of doing this, Zack takes out another book and begins to write something while looking at the creature, almost as if he is taking notes.
Ankor, still standing at the bow of the ship. he sheathes his sword and takes a look at his wounds from those beasts. "Vile creatures..." he mutters. then thinks about how the ones who died seemed to just 'melt' into the ground and ships top deck. using Lay on Hands to heal himself back to full using 16 of his 25 points available. After tending to himself he turns and notices the orb machine moping the deck and the others watching intently scribing notes. He walks right over in between Zack and Tefake to the thing and picks it up with both hands, "Never seen a servent like this before..." as he twists and examines the wings noting the one that is partially damaged. "Does it speak?"
Zack stops writing when Ankor picks it up. He seems to be slightly annoyed at the interruption but perks up at the question of 8-ball's speaking capabilities. He hovers his pen over the note book, ready to continue writing.
OOC: By the way, does this count as a Short Rest? If yes, I would like to use Arcane recovery to regain my spent spell slot and also use Second Wind to heal HP since it would come back again at short rest.
(Note: It has only been about 2 minutes since you had your fight. A short rest takes about 1 hour to complete, so no there hasn't been one yet.)
Ankor goes over to Eight-Bit and picks it up. The creature seems transfixed on the spot it was cleaning that it attempts to wiggle its legs, like when a puppy hasn't realised it is picked up off of the ground.
"Unhand them." Captain Obaysch tells Ankor with a hint of warning in his tone. "That one's been through a lot. Found that modron broken into eight pieces when I woke up, but with some Giff engineering expertise those parts are put together. It doesn't seem capable of talking, so I named it Eight-Bit, as that is how I found it. Clever name, isn't it?"
Eight-Bit continues to stare at the spot, looking somewhat desperate as it can with its limited facial features. "You're going to upset it if it can't do its task."
@DM: Oh I wasn't planning on manning the ship myself.
Zack raises his voice to make sure the Captain can hear him. "Captain! We need to get out of here and away from the ruins so that they can't target us anymore. I'm going to try to reduce the amount of fire we're taking while you steer the ship."
True to his word, Zack will try to reduce the number of active threats by casting Sleep on R7 and R8. He knows that it's unlikely he'll be able to put them both to sleep but he hopes to drop one of them.
Sleep HP: 20
Feeling like he is far enough away from these creatures Ankor will take the Dodge this turn to avoid any further damage.

Victoria stands her ground to make sure the raptors don't continue to follow. Hopefully the ship will move far away enough the raptors can't follow.
