Right at that moment, Liam, you feel a vibration on your belt. An audible gurgling can be heard from the bath drain as your dagger of warning begins to activate.

 Feeling Vigilance start to tingle in his hand, and hearing the noise from the drain, Liam shoves Crispy to the side and unleashes the Chromatic Orb he'd only been intending as a threat.  A sphere of sparking, electrical energy flies from his hand toward the tub.

Ranged Spell Attack: 13

Lighting Damage: 22

Nia blinks. "A gurgling sound?" She whips around as Liam lets loose his spell. She gathers the energy to cast Eldritch Blast, but holds off till she can see what comes out.

Sparks of arcane electricity light up the bath- small pools of water flash with blinding light. A wild spark leaps out of the bath, onto the still damp floor- Gunna need DEX saves from Nia, Liam and Crispy.

Dex save: 3

Liam's Dex Save: 16

As we're waiting on Crispy's DEX save,

Gregor, you see a bright flash of light emit from the bathroom accross the deck from where you're standing!
Re: Gregor's insight check to remember any unusual behaviour before the murder: You cannot discern anything. The crew were running around getting the ship moving, business as usual. The only thing you remember which stood out was seeing Gregor bossing Fimlin around below deck.

Gregor knocks on the door and says “Mr Boss man, Gregor be seeing bad magic by the crime scene. What would you be advising Gregor to do?”

Liam was so busy being angry and unfocused he didn't even feel Crispy's short sword tip against his belly as he got in her face, nice and close, where she could do some real damage.

"Ohhh...." She says sadly, begging. "Please? Try something. I'm not scared of you. Go on. Try something."

She looks deep in his eyes, unflinching, clearly the years of combat and discipline showing no fear. But at this moment, there's nothing more dangerous in the room than an ex-special forces investigator...turned sour. Or, whatever was behind the lizardman who's taking serious chances.

DEX: 15

"You might wanna turn around before you get gutted. Either by me, or whatever's behind you."

 Gregor is interrupted by the door swinging open mid sentence. The tall figure of Ruven walks swiftly by, motioning him to follow.

Liam takes 11 lightning damage as a wild spark arcs from the rub and onto a wet patch on the floor which he's just not quite able to get out of.

Chubby hears a loud BANG and electrical buzzing up in the amenities room, followed by the sound of rushing water through the pipes of the ship behind the wall he's resting on.

The bath tub's drain lets out a slow descending slurp and gurgle sound once again as it subsides...

Ruven appears in the doorway; "I'll assume by all this noise, some progress is being made?" He stands, looking expectantly at the group.

Liam staggers as he isn't able to evade the backlash of his spell, but he clearly hears the continued noise from the drain.  When Ruven appears in the doorway, Liam turns to him, wincing in lingering pain from the motion.

"Where do the pipes in here flow on this ship?  We need to know NOW!"

Crispy unsheathes her other short sword, as elementals of any kind would be immune to poison, and slips out of the doorway, ready to go wherever Ruven says the pipes lead to.

"Watch your step there, Liam" She mentions, a combination of sarcasm and warning. But mostly sarcasm.

“Uhhh, most lead down to the exhaust, which is located in the cargo bay beneath the crew deck. It accumulates in a slow drip filter. What exactly are we dealing with here?” He inquires.

Upon hearing the BANG, which startled him quite a bit, Chubby grabs his axe and shield and hustles up the stairs to the amenities room. Upon meeting the others, Chubby let’s out a winded “What was THAT?!” and then proceeds to inspect the gathering crowd, trying to ascertain what happened, if there is any immediate danger, and if anyone is hurt.

"I suspect a corrupted water elemental of some sort," Liam says quickly as he makes his way out of the forecastle.  "One that can apparently use the pipes on the ship to get around."

He immediately makes for the staircase leading below deck.

Chubby immediately places his hand on his belly...afraid that maybe that last bottle of ale that he thought was just a little too bubbly was perhaps a bottle of water elemental?  He lets out a rather large burrrrrrrrrrrrp, shakes his head, then wheels about and follows Liam down the stairs.

As they’re hustling down the stairs, to Liam: “A water elemental?!  Can’t say I’ve ever encountered one of those b’fore. I’ve pretty much hunted down everything that bleeds on, above, and below this green earth. How in the nine hells does one attack water?”

"Hey Chubbs" Crispy mentions as they all go downstairs. "Remember that one time you put your face to that door and it was a mimic?" 

"Very carefully," Liam responds to Chubby's question, "and preferably with magic, if it's available."

Nia smiled. "I have lots of fire, so this could get steamy." She joked.
