"With me, Earthmother!"he calls and casts spiritual weapon. A golden sickle appears hovering in the air beside him, and also strikes at the cultist. Attack: 28 Damage: 8

Brother Siegfried's sickle blows--both the physical and the spiritual--cut deeply into the cultist who grins madly with the pain, despite seeming barely able to stand. The water at the base of the Fishery froths with the blood of the cultists mixed with that of the heroes.
Vandeyr's rapier pierces the berserker's throat, who dies with an eerie grin on her face. She drops into the bloody water, and floats facedown. Her slow drift is at odds with the battle raging around.
Rawlings adjusts her aim, and her magic slams into the next cultists. She can hear ribs snap inside the berserker, who looks in bad shape, but is still somehow upright, and continues to grin like a madman.
Tor's riposte cuts deeply into the cultist in front of him before he turns and, with two brutal cuts, eviscerates the cultist attacking Brother Sigi. The berserker drops to the ramp, his blood spilling down into the water.
Siegfried catches his breath and looks around. Leilon was supposed to be a fresh start; a chance to found a new temple to celebrate life. Yet here he was, not five minutes in town and standing ankle deep in gore and death. It was madness.
"Must you all die so senselessly!?" he cries, turning his sickle on the foe attacking Rawlings. Attack: 23 Damage: 5
As a bonus action, he moves the spiritual weapon to attack the same target. Attack: 15 Damage: 6

Once again, both of Brother Siegfried's sickles connect, cutting deeply into the berserker. A split second after the Priest's physical sickle cuts through the cultists' sea-stained leathers and deeply into his stomach, the spiritual sickle decapitates him. The man's head falls a second before his body does. The liquid in front of the Fishery now seems to be more blood than water.
Only one cultist remains. He laughs roughly at the carnage around him. "Blood for Talos! Destruction for the Storm Lord!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Knowing that their biggest foe would be back soon, Rawlings is glad they were making short work of these almost feral cultists. She lifts her arm again and sends her eldritch blast towards the maniacally laughing cultist.
(I suspect that the two combined attacks of Vandeyr and Rawlings will be enough to finish the last cultist off. This response is based on that assumption. Let me know if they do survive and I can change this post accordingly.)
Tor stands, breathing slowly but deeply. The brief, frenetic battle had gotten his blood pumping. Four bodies lay floating around them, gently leaking the last of their blood into the surf. He huffs, pulls out a rag, and begins to wipe his sword clean. Sheathing it he says "Right. Let's get these four up on land. Maybe someone will recognise them." He grabs one cultist by the wrists and begins to drag them up out of the water.
Vandeyr's blade pierces through the cultist's chest, but his second blow misses, as Vandeyr's experience expected him to move back in response to the pain of the first attack, but the berserker barely flinches in response to the wound.
Just as the berserker turns his grinning face and soulless eyes towards Vandeyr, Rawlings' Eldritch Blast slams into his face, and the berserker crumples without sound.
With his death, the quayside is eerily quiet, the only sound the bloody waves washing to shore.
(Everyone please make a perception check, and Rawlings let me know if there's anything you say/do before your spell expires. You do know she's native to this plane so she'll be coming back.)
(Also, unless you'd rather reroll, we can keep the same initiative, though you all have a little over 30 seconds before she returns).
"Tor, um, you can move that body if you'd like, but in about 30 seconds or so that priestess is coming back. So might be prudent to prepare for her and leave the bodies for the moment." Rawlings states as she looks at the carnage of the crazed cultists, stepping back out of the water about 20 feet.
"Coming back?" Tor raises an eyebrow in confusion, still gripping the cultist by the wrists. "I thought she was gone? Agh!" He throws the cultists arms back down in frustration. "Damn magic, it's never simple. That genie on the road stayed gone!" he directs towards Sigi. "Fine, I guess she's coming back where she left? If I just hold my sword there will she appear on it, like a kebab?"
Rawlings stifles a laugh as she pictures Tor kebabbing the priestess, "Yes, I know. But at least it bought us some time. You should try it though, I think she was standing right about there." and smiling, Rawlings points to the spot the priestess was 40 seconds ago.
