Stena and Gal were on shift with Jimjar, and they are both thrown to the deck, but the dwarf responds quickly, hopping up and vanishing into shadow to send two arrows sinking into the fish boy approaching her side of the boat.

As Neth and Stena are tossed to the deck, they each take 1 damage from bumping something painfully. Buppy and Ranador are tossed about inside the cabin with Neth and Lia, but she manages to catch herself against a wall and is fine.
Jimjar abandons the controls, and pulls free his hand crossbow, taking a shot at the same one that sprouted a pair of arrows from Stena.
Hand Crossbow Attack: 22 Damage: 6
Buppido runs to the deck, but seeing the merrow at a distance, just draws his shortsword and stands ready to dodge their attacks. Ranador runs out behind him, but he he holds his other arm out to keep the child away from the edge of the boat.

Neth's head slams to the deck as he falls. He slowly stands, trying to clear the fog from blow he took. He looks to the waters and sees the fishman to the north of the boat and begins his attack.
He summons a tentacle in the waters by the fishman and it lashes out. 27 D 4
He thens thinks of the fishman freezing and sinking to the bottom, willing the creature to be covered in ice Frostbite 14 D3
Galingal rises to one knee, looking over the makeshift gunwale of the boat. The big fishy sprouting arrows attracts his attention first and he points a finger at it, whispering under his voice as he does.

Lia manages to keep her footing and head out on deck to see what the commotion is. She sees one of the attackers impaled by arrows and bolts. She sees Neth’s tentacle attack too, and it gives her an idea…
If there’s one that’s not been attacked yet (or the one that’s been attacked the least if not), Lia casts phantasmal force, conjuring a non-existent vision in the enemy’s mind. Suddenly they think they’ve been set-upon by a giant octopus… huge tentacles grasping from all directions, wrapping round it, constricting and crushing, and biting them…
((INT saving throw (DC13) or suffer the effects of the spell for 1 minute (concentration).)).
If it takes hold I think it can inflict 1d6 psychic damage too (ie 4 psychic damage).
If the spell takes hold, Lia says, “This one’s mine!…”, with one hand out (‘force choke’ style) struggling to hold the creature and maintain concentration.

The injured one shudders as Galingal makes it consider its own mortality momentarily, while on the other side of the boat, one of the fish boys starts thrashing about, hollering in Abyssal (which Lia understands). "Ahh, get off me! I didn't know he was your brother, I'm sorry!"
The heavily injured one hurls its harpoon at Stena with a fishy snarl.
Attack: 14 Damage: 9, if it hits, contested STR for Stena vs 9

Stena dodges the harpoon, but the weapon thudding into the boat causes Ranador to cry out in surprise, and Buppido's attention is momentarily diverted, and the harpoon passes under his arm, the barbs digging into his arm and side as he's yanked overboard into the water towards the fishman who is rapidly reeling in its harpoon tether.
Jimjar loads another bolt, crying out, "Buppy overboard!", as he fires at the injured attacker.

Buppido managed to hold on to his shortsword, and tries to give as good as he got.

Galingal looks across to the other side of the boat when Jimjar shouts about Buppido.
"That could solve problem," Galingal says quietly to Stena.
But he's still useful, Galingal thinks to himself.
As none of the fish bois are close enough to engage in combat, and Stena and Neth look to have the one to the north in hand, he turns his attention to the one Buppido is struggling with and again points his finger out, whispering into the darkness of the death all around.
