This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The first merrow to burst from the water is stabbed, bludgeoned and blasted by the party, and while its wounds are significant, it rears up in the water and attacks at random (1=Yurk 2=Ash 3=Lophii: 1), first with its jagged needle teeth (21 attack for 10 piercing damage) and then with its claws (15 attack for 12 slashing damage).
The second merrow lands on the ground and throws a mighty harpoon at Og (25 attack for 10 piercing damage).

It doesn't take long for the battle lust to rise within Lophii, and he lets out crazed laughter. "Yes!! Feel the pain the Misstress has in store for you!" He raises his warhammer and swings it at the same merrow.
Seeing the marrow launch the spear at him, Og manages to side step at the last second. "OG NOT NEED TOOTHPICK." You see his muscles flex as Og goes into a rage, stepping around the hole in the floor to attack the spear thrower.
Yurk reels slightly from the Merrow's bite before he's able to raise his shield to block its claws. He stares directly at the creature banging his spear off his shield while muttering a barely audible chant.
Casting Toll the Dead on the same Merrow who attacked him. (WIS DC13). For 6 necrotic damage.
He then places his hands together invoking another enchantment and closes his eyes, casting Healing Word on himself, regaining 6 hit points.
OOC: I don't think it is based on the map, but if the other Merrow is within 5 ft the spell also effect it due to the Reaper class feature.
The beleaguered merrow, leaking green blood and pus, bites at Yurk again (22 bite attack for 12 piercing damage), then lashes out at the tortle with his spindly claws (8 claw attack for 8 slashing damage).
The second merrow attempts to wrap Og in its long, scaly arms (Og, roll Athletics or Acrobatics, DC 18 )
The water is nearly to the lip of the hole — you estimate that it will spill over soon (next round it will be about puddle depth, and the round after will be difficult terrain for about 3 rounds).
(Yeah, Ash still has his Round 2 action. Also, since Og and the merrow tied, things remain the same as before the contest, i.e. Og isn't grappled.)

As Darksniffer's arrow spits its throat, the merrow in the water (F6) lets out a guttural moan, thrashes a bit and sinks below the surface, its blood staining the water green.
Seeing the first merrow sink lifelessly back into the water Lophii makes his was to the fallen tortle. He kneels and places a hand on Yurk, "Pain teaches. Be resilient and push through the pain." He jumps back into the water but just floats at the surface,"Can you guys handle this last one!? Need to get this water shut off before it gets any higher!"

OOC: I'll try to get a LoH on Yurk when we get this frist one down.
The water is nearly to the lip of the hole — you estimate that it will spill over soon (next round it will be about puddle depth, and the round after will be difficult terrain for about 3 rounds).
(Yeah, Ash still has his Round 2 action. Also, since Og and the merrow tied, things remain the same as before the contest, i.e. Og isn't grappled.)
Ash will move in between the two monsters and cast Arms of Hadar to take them both in the range. Dam 9
He tries to keep the others from harm way.
OOC: Sorry for the delay. I was at my sister's wedding. Next time if I don't respond just do a move for me. Usually, it's pretty straightforward.

If we are in the next round, Darksniffer will use another arrow against the most injured merrow.
(Attack: 13. Damage: 8. Sneak attack: 5)
(Edit: please take 3 off the Sneak Attack damage. I copy-pasted my damage roll flsince they're both 1d6, but forgot to remove the DEX mod.)

(Lay on Hands for 1HP to Yurk)
Yurk inhales sharply as he see Lophii standing above him, "My thanks. We should be able to handle this last one, do hurry though."
OOC: Unsure whether I get an action or not after being unconscious here, but I'll post one just in case to move things along
Yurk rises to his feet and casts Cure Wounds on himself to regain 11 HP.
