You all creep your way through this damp cargo bay. Chubby out first, followed by Crispy- Liam is next, Nia and then Gregor behind... It looks like the boiler has actually leaked, which has resulted in water spilling out all over the floor, about an inch deep. Nia alone, notices some sort of condensation on the roof of this enclosed space also, and can hear occasional 'slithering' sounds like ripples through water. You all hear a high pitched ring as Liam's Dagger of Warning begins to ping a constant alarm. But this is different- It begins to squeal, like a high pitched dog whistle. It rings... and rings... and keeps on ringing. Something is down here, and you are in constant danger.
"Well, I guess that means we're on the right track," Liam attempts to whisper, although it's not all that quiet as he's trying to be heard over Vigilance's alert ping. "Does anyone see anything?"
Nia noticed the condensation on the ceiling before hand. As you make your way as carefully as you are able through the shallow water, you feel a drop of water fall on your shoulder. Then another, and another. You look up at the ceiling, expecting to see the source of a leak. Instead, you come face to face with a serpantine like creature, with a Dwarven head leering at you from the ceiling. You see a rotting Dwarven face- thin and malnourished staring straight into your eyes. It's jaw hyper extends, as it lets out a bubbling, muffled scream, which sounds like someone screaming underwater. It rears back, before slamming it's head into yours.
Slam Attack: 24 Damage: 4
After which, it attempts to wrap its body around your head and neck- a liquid, python like form, cutting off your access to air! Please make a DC13 DEX saving throw.
Everyone, please roll initiative.
Bonus points to NeoMagus for guessing the creature ;)
Nia cries out as she gets slammed, making a mental note to learn Hellish Rebuke as soon as possible, and then tries to dodge the squirming, snakelike body of her opponent.
As Nia manages to scramble and push it off, it falls with a splash into the water underneath your feet. Its liquid form disperses in the water slightly before reforming and slithering up Liam’s leg, attempting to wrap itself around his torso and head.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Liam's DexST: 12
"Shit..." Liam snaps reflexively as the blood-tainted elemental slithers its way toward him. As is starts to curl up his leg he manages to flip his body over a barrel standing next to him, flinging the creature off and pulling his leg away.
It goes flying through the air, over a pile of crates. A wet ‘splat’ can be heard at it hits the wall. It sticks there for a moment, before grinning and slithering off the wall down into the water, out of immediate view.
I will update a combat map asap, currently you are all in a more confined space, surrounded by crates on either side. The space does open up more a little further into the hull near the boiler.
Gregor will shout “MR. BOSS MAN, WE BE FIGHTING EVIL WATER DOWN HERE” and then use the help action to give either Nia or Liam advantage on their turn, whichever one thinks they need it.
Yeah...I don't think the dice agree with you on the "low profile" thing...
Mkay.
Something's Stealth roll: 24

Memo to me, next time just roll the save and let the DM decide what happens! :p
Gregor will shout “MR. BOSS MAN, WE BE FIGHTING EVIL WATER DOWN HERE” and then use the help action to give either Nia or Liam advantage on their turn, whichever one thinks they need it.
Nice work, Gregor! Next up is Chubby.
