Not sure the mindless animals would understand him, he, nevertheless, tried to hiss a few words of encouragement: "Kill the moving humans! They came to murder you and your family and wear your skin for clothes!"
The pirates only hear hissing from the triton, but their eyes betray their concern. In a moment of doubt, Cardmon looks at a nearby snake, exposing his neck. Kairus takes the opportunity to land a killing blow. It takes two attempts, but the piercing motion of the bard's dagger catches an artery and drops the would-be captain. (Cardmon takes 5 piercing damage and is DEFEATED.)
In the distance, Dinsly Windblower continues her escape. She is now swimming toward the ship (off the map).
(Yulmiath, Hun, and Krodhen are up next. They all need to roll a DEATH saving throw. Mrs. Thinn and the Poisonous Snakes can also take their turn.)

Hun coughs and squirms a bit, but otherwise remained on the knife's edge of life and death...
Meanwhile, with so many claiming the "Leader" spot all at once, Mrs. Thinn held her hands up by her head and shook the latter, as subroutines began to run in conflict over how to proceed with her next course of action. So as if to try and repair the clearly damaged circuitry, she shudders for a moment as sparks can be seen dancing across her metallic hide, then seemed to fall on more basic programming as she marched forth to stand to the north of Kairus as if readying to shield him from archers further along the beach.
Future Reaction(Mrs. Thinn): Deflect Attack vs 1st attack made in melee vs Kairus.
"What? What was that he said?" Rasped Splinter, risking a glance in Kairus direction. "I 'unno. Something about wearing our skin?" Replied Rocksteady. "Not cool, brother. Not cool at all."Bebop commented as he looked up to the nearest pirate and shook his head. "The only thing they'll be wearing is their own blood! Strike them down, my brothers!"Demanded Shredder, as he tried to lead by example in attacking the nearest pirate. After that, though with varying degrees of commitment to the cause the others followed suit, if but to make sure the nearest pirates wouldn't continue to be a threat to their well being.

(OOC: As discussed in our OOC Chat, Krodhen is using his Bardic Inspiration die to force a success in the DEATH save above. For the sake of completeness, let me roll that here: 1 (2).)
Most Snakers remain on the ground. Yulmiath's scales are looking paler by the second, while Hun's keep their color for now. More positively, Krodhen's body seem to have achieved some sort of stable condition. (Yulmiathfails a DEATH saving throw; Hunsucceeds a DEATH saving throw; Krodhensucceeds a DEATH saving throw and is now STABLE.)
Mrs. Thinn is still up for a fight and, in preparation for the continued bout, the automaton performs some quick field repairs. (Mrs. Thinn recovers 14 HP.)
The various snakes continue to hiss and focus their defensive strikes at those who still pose a threat. Shredder dispenses some venom into a nearby pirate, and two other reptiles do the same. One of the pirates does not react well to the poison and crumbles. (Pirate Crew#9 {OV-34} takes 4 piercing and poison damage; Pirate Crew#8 {OW-30} takes 12 piercing and poison damage and is DEFEATED.)
(@Ori: With 30ft of movement and at least one square of difficult terrain in front of her due to fallen humanoids, Rocksteady can only reach {OS-34}.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The remaining pirates' continue to show what happens once they are faced with a lack of gripping leadership. The two pirates who started to swim after Dinsly jump further into the water and continue to make their escape (off the map).
Two others continue their fight for captaincy, with the one wielding a ranged weapon (Pirate Crew#6 {OU-36}) getting a shot at it first:
Closer to the main brawl, another pirate (Pirate Crew#2 {OV-30}) tries to defend himself by attacking a nearby snake. Regardless of the outcome, it seems the flight instinct kicks in and the pirate begins to run into the sea {OV-24} like a few of his companions:
-> Cutlass(Bane) vs. Bebop {OW-29}: Attack: 9 Damage: 5 (Nat20,-1,11)
The last remaining pirate (Pirate Crew#9 {OV-34}) feels cornered and simply lashes out:
-> Cutlass(Bane) vs. Kairus: Attack: 17 Damage: 2 (18,-3,7)
The savvier pirate gets his kill before he has to face his rival's blade. Looking about afterwards, this pirate realizes his claim at captaincy is in danger of being nullified simply because others may reach the ship before him. Accordingly, he begins to run toward the ocean as well {OT-30}. He doesn't even realize how close to a snake he passes. (Pirate Crew#5 takes 2 piercing damage and is DEFEATED.)
Another runaway pirate manages a near-clean escape by swinging his blade just as Bebop rears up for its next strike. The snake pays the ultimate price. (Bebop takes 11 slashing damage and is DEFEATED.)
Kairus also pays a price for ganging up (alongside Mrs. Thinn and Shredder) on the only pirate who still has some fight in him. (Kairus takes 7 slashing damage.)
(Rhogal is up next. He needs to roll a DEATH saving throw. Kairus needs to roll a concentration check. @Ori may want to perform the snakes' opportunity attacks.)
Ignorance is bliss and the would-be next captain passes by Rocksteady without ever noticing the snake's attempt at his ankle. The other late-fleeing pirate is not as lucky. He carries with him some of Splinter's poison, though it doesn't look like he is about to succumb to its effects. (Pirate Crew#2 {OV-24} takes 4 piercing and poison damage.)
Despite the solid hit, Kairus knows that keeping his spell going is crucial to the team's victory, as narrow as it is shaping up to be.
Rhogal's breathing stabilizes. (Rhogalsucceeds a DEATH saving throw and is now STABLE.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kairus would much prefer to go after the swimming away pirates but the one cursed stubborn fool was still endangering the the unconscious companions (and one conscious him). He had to finish him off.
Unconscious on the ground, Rhogal bleeds some more (Rhogal fails one DEATH saving throw.)
-> Yulmiath's Rage dropped once he became incapacitated.

SHIP ACTION
Noisy preparations continue on the ship. No other projectiles are launched at this time.
(Kairus is up next.)
It's not like Kairus had much choice here, the pirate near him was set on murder. Kairus simply turned around and attacked Cardmon with both weapons.
Dagger (action): Attack: 11 Damage: 5
Handaxe (BA): Attack: 13 Damage: 2
Not sure the mindless animals would understand him, he, nevertheless, tried to hiss a few words of encouragement: "Kill the moving humans! They came to murder you and your family and wear your skin for clothes!"
