For Korgen and Malirys, you are able to fight against the turbulent waters pretty easily, getting within eyeline of the sunken island within a minute or two. However, for Ant and Auraani, the waters knock them around a bit, causing them to take a couple extra minutes to get down.
You are floating amongst the sea unconscious, before you are woken up by the sounds of fighting and splashing. Off in the distance, about 100ft out, you see a ship that appears to be stationary. Whether you want to or not, the current seems to be slowly pushing you closer to the ship.
Everyone;
What remains of the sunken island is wedged precariously in the undersea trench. The skeletal frames of its houses still stand, and the gruesome remains of villagers are strewn about.
Five Sahuagin flanked by three of the shark-like abominations you fought earlier kneel within the ruins before a Sahuagin wearing a magnificent headdress. This figure is chanting something in an unknown language and holds aloft a gleaming scepter tipped with a glowing amber eye.
Floating in the water in front of the Sahuagin mage is a dead body. The mage is chanting something unrecognizable and moving the staff around, as they do this, dark purple energy starts to swirl and surround the body.
Auraani looks down, getting a clear view of what they are up against below. "Holy-, Well, they are clearly going to have the upper hand here, what should we do?"
The Sahuagin at the center of everything continues her ritual. Too focused on what she is currently doing to notice anything else that is going on around her.
As you swim closer to the boat, one of the ship mates happens to look over the edge of the ship, noticing you. He shouts over to the others. "Eh! We have a drifter! Send over the rope!" and shortly after a rope ladder falls over the edge of the ship, close to where you are floating.
As you make your way up the ladder, you are met with 3 to 4 shipmates weilding an assortment of weapons at you. Standing in the middle is a Female Tabaxi with a big luxurious captains hat. She looks down at you and gives you a big toothy grin. "Well Hello there, welcome aboard!"
As Korgen fires a spear at the priestess, she lets out a loud scream and looks up at you. She points up to you and commands her followers to attack. As she does this, the Sahuagin back up behind her and kneel, continuing to chant while the Abominations move toward you all.
Round 1;
Player Group: Malirys Auraani Korgen Abominations x3 Ant
Seeing the abominations closing in, Auraani casts Enhance Ability, giving herself Bear's Endurance as she moves slightly ahead and in front of the rest of the party.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Malirys begins to wave their hands around and shoots out a ray of slow at 'Abomination 1'.
Attack: 17 Damage: 4
The priestess grabs the spears that hit her and she looks up in anger. She shouts up to them, and the words echo to you all as if you are on land. "Leave now and you will leave unharmed!" She waves the staff around and a Sahuagin shaped bubble forms around just the outer layer of her skin.
Abominations/Priestess;
The 3 Abominations close the distance on the group, and float next to them, un-aggressive at the moment.

“I count eight. Nine if that mage is doing what I think it is. I dont care for these odds.” Korgen looks around for anything to even the odds
Paladin - warforged - orange
“Perhaps a diversion to lead some away up to the ship? They seem to have a good grasp on defeating these things”
Auraani looks down, getting a clear view of what they are up against below. "Holy-, Well, they are clearly going to have the upper hand here, what should we do?"

"I suggest a diversion from above them to lure them away and make the numbers easier for the ones left behind."
Zherrus is going to start quietly paddling over.
"I can attempt that if you wish. A few spears into the mage there ought to be plenty distracting."
Korgren swims over above the fish people and will fire a spear at the priestess from max range, using grit to cancel the disadvantage.
