They flap to within close proximity and circle the boat, preparing to dive in and feed. Jimjar has a dagger ready, and Buppido with his remaining short sword, has positioned himself between the stirges and Ranador, his eyes shining fervently as he awaits the attack.
((Any ranged stuff from the party, or readied actions?))

You all rest and take your ease until you're starting to feel anxious to get moving again, Stena taking an opportunity to run Ranador through his paces again.

He follows some of it, but seems to be re-learning some of the things you'd showed him previously. Eventually you call a halt to it as it's time to set out and raise anchor.

((Which 2 are taking the first shift on the pole-oars? Are you having Jimjar or Buppido on the wheel for which shift, and are you using Ranador as a lookout now or in the afternoon?))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Stena spots jagged stones lurking under the water level and is able to alert Lia and Buppido at the last moment, allowing them to try to avoid grinding over them.
((Dex Checks from Stena and Lia.))

Stena drops three, an impressive feat for 2 arrows that are now lost to the darkness.
There are still 5 that are now taking much more interest in your boat, and will be on you very soon.

Seeing the stirges are still too far away to do anything about, Galingal just raises his shield and gets ready for their arrival.
They flap to within close proximity and circle the boat, preparing to dive in and feed. Jimjar has a dagger ready, and Buppido with his remaining short sword, has positioned himself between the stirges and Ranador, his eyes shining fervently as he awaits the attack.

Stena would fire again, as they closed.
Attack: 17 Damage: 10
Lia would mock one of them, as they circle above: “You’re not even flapping in time with the others!…”
Cast a spell action (vicious mockery): DC13 WIS save or take 4 (psychic damage) and have disadvantage on the next attack.

Stena looks out over the water, regretting the lose of her precious arrows.
"Always something here. Get the rest you can."
She says as she eases back into sight.
((Is it a new day? If so she'd give Ranador another lesson on handling a sword: 12))
You all rest and take your ease until you're starting to feel anxious to get moving again, Stena taking an opportunity to run Ranador through his paces again.

Lia is easy. She’s happy to help with the first oar shift. She leaves the other details to someone more qualified to make a judgment.
