Jimjar, being unable to see, doesn't manage to get a firm hold on Stena, and she wriggles in his grasp, managing to pull free.
Darkmantle Attack on Stena: 13 Damage: 5
FOG, you feel the creature release your arm, and eventually the sphere of darkness moves away from you, and you can make out faint glimmers of various sources on the tunnel walls around you, though it's still very hard to see in here.
Galingal sputters as he comes to consciousness, the cawing of ravens echoing through his mind, only to find cold, fishy lips pressed against his, engulfing both mouth and nose at Plibbleburp breathes into his face. He can see the surface of the water, a bit of the boat, and the KT coming in for another breath.

"No more." Galingal says. He kneels up, looking around for any sign of the darkmantles.
He shuffles over to where Stena is on the deck, reaches in to the darkness surrounding her head, looking to make contact with the leathery creature strangling her.
If he makes contact, he says "aiheuttaa haavoja," and dark light traces out the raven on his cheek before racing along his arm and into the darkness.
Casts: Inflict Wounds Attack: 10 Damage: 26 necrotic damage (assuming still at disadvantage to make contact)
FOG can see the a few flight feathers on the tip of a glowing spectral wing extending up above a sphere of darkness.
Galingal shoves Plibbleburp away, who says something back at him in Undercommon, but despite the lack of a shared tongue, the KT is able to tell the elf is doing better.
"I saved him! Plibbleburp is a hero!"
Galingal swims to the edge of the boat, feeling around in the darkness and grasping what he is certain is a darkmantle, until at the last moment he realizes is Stena's unconscious fingers and he lets go just in time, the spell fizzling into the ether.
FOG, weakened as he is in the water, is in no state to fight. Or even really do anything. There are base instincts running in his body, sure, but most of those base instincts need SOMETHING. Why can't he just recall what the something is?! But before he is just dobbing around in the water uselessly, however, there is one more thing. Gears clicking.
These things don't like water, huh?
His hand raises. A gesture moves. And then, the water right next to the boat shifts. Trying to launch itself in the midst of one of those dark spheres.
(I'm trying to use shape water to splash. Won't damage, but if they hate water enough...)
((OOC: With her movement on her last turn, Lia let go of Stena and tried to find someone else to help… Did she get to anyone? Can she tell who? Are they moving or still? Do they have a creature on their head? Thanks))
((She saw Jimjar, who headed in to help Stena, but otherwise the boat seems to be fairly clear of spheres of darkness, there are a few half submerged in the water around the boat at varying distances.))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Realising that ‘the blob of darkness’ she just left, with Stena inside, has slumped back down, Lia opens her mouth, her wings flare out, and her eyes glow brighter, and a silent scream comes out. It vibrates the air, but no one hears a sound… except the creature on Stena’s head…
Cast a spell action (dissonant whispers, doesn’t need sight to target): WIS save DC13 or take 5 (psychic damage) and use reaction to move away (or take half and don’t move).
Radiant Soul increases the damage by +3 (radiant damage).

There's a muffled squawk of pain that becomes more audible, along with a slithering sucking sound as the darkmantle and its sphere of darkness detach from Stena and take flight, flapping up towards the ceiling and revealing the unconscious dwarf lying against the side of the boat.
Jimjar falls to his knees next to her, shaking her. "Five gold says you're too forking stubborn to die!"

As the creature moves away, Lia's ethereal wings and glowing eyes are visible to everyone nearby and conscious, and she is able to spot some of her companions in the water, Galingal next to the boat near Stena, and FOG a bit farther out. Jimjar is kneeling near Stena, and Plibble is ten feet or so from the boat on the same side, but he swims over to help FOG back to the boat, pulling the slender old fellow through the water easily.
Neth, Ranador and Buppy are not immediately visible.
Still very disoriented Stena relies on her standard response,
"Huh? What? No! Stop."

A wobbling sphere of water sloshes over the deck of the boat, wetting Lia's feet.
