Kvothe flies back to barge as fast as possible using his dash movement so as to get to the barge before it has progressed too much further.  As he gets closer to the barge, he yells out to Eku “steer away, their old alright but their ugly and they ain’t human.” He then lands back on the barge.

Kvothe knows and tells you that they are Sea Hags. 

"Turn the boat," Yellow says to Eku. "Keep your distance."

At Kvothe's warning, Solis incants a spell in Infernal, attempting to stay out of sight of the sea hags in the process.

Armor of Agathys

Stealth to hide the casting at disadvantage: 8 or 21  keep the lowest one

"Humph. I do see them," Krav says, having only partially heard Kvothe, "but 'hag' is a little...harsh, I think. Were they that unsightly?"

When corrected, he flushes momentarily, then gets to helping the others steer the barge clear of the island.

As Kvothe returns to the barge Taggart floats back down keeping his bow at the ready as they steer away and leave 

Eku begins to turn the barge and it is slow going but she manages to get it turned before that first mud island a good 35' away from the two old "women". The one lady that is standing keeps waving to you and you hear her saying. "Please help us. She is dying. We need help."

Eku looks over to Yellow but keeps the barge in a slow steady course.

Yellow catches Eku's look. Her tail is whipping back and forth like mad in agitation, almost hitting the people behind her. She looks around to see how the others are reacting to the hag's pleas, noticing that Solis has developed a layer of ice armor which is steaming like mad in the heat. "Hurry," she says not too loudly, indecision clearly coloring her voice, "what do you all think? Stop or not?"

"It's no skin of my nose one way or t'other" says Kvothe. “You’re the skipper, you make the call” he finishes with.

"I say we stop. If they are as dangerous as we think, we can handle them better than anyone that will wander this way. If they actually need help, we can do that. I'll go down and talk to them myself if we are going to stop." Solis says as he looks towards the old women.

"I am ready if you want to stop," She says some quick words in celestial and moves her hands around making a number of arane symbols and 3 illusory images of Drita appear, shifting and following her movement. 

Action: Mirror Image

Kvothe aims his crossbow at the unwounded Hag. if she makes a threatening move towards Solis (attacks or looks like she is going to cast a spell) or the party (looks like she is going to cast a spell) he fires. Once he fires his crossbow he flies 30 feet up into the air.

Attack: 18 Damage: 8

Krav snorts.

"With how you all are acting, I wouldn't blame 'em for acting dangerous."

 Krav checks his belt for his greatsword but does not draw it. He looks to Yellow.

 "It's your call, Yellow. We agreed to follow you on this voyage."

Yellow bites her lip and then turns back to Eku. "Is it too late to stop?"

Eku looks at Yellow, "nope" and begins stopping the barge. You wind up stopping at the end of the mud island. 

Yellow takes a deep breath. "Let's see if we can help." As Eku begins preparing to land the barge, Yellow looks around at everyone else. "Get ready for anything. If these are in fact hags, do not make any deals with them. If a deal is to be made, I'll be the one to make it. Be very careful. They are tricky and will twist your words. If you're not sure what to say, say nothing." Yellow makes direct eye contact with Drita. "This is no time to make friends. Do not be fooled. In fact, why don't you and ... " she looks around the craft, "Krav ... Taggart ... and you, Ahkmenos: You four stay on the barge with Eku. Kvothe, return to the sky and keep a keen eye on everything." She turns to look at the old women. "We're going to attempt to land," she calls out. "Please stand back." She gives Kaslo and Solis a quick nod and then puts her shield away and prepares to disembark.

Eku mumbles something under her breath and you push off once again and she navigates around the small mud island and land next to the "old ladies" 

The lady that isn't all bandaged up raises her hands to the sky. "Thank you. Please, my sister is dying. You need to save her. I will return the favor for you if you do. We were attacked and she is very badly wounded. I do not have magic to fix her."

 

 

As the barge bumps up onto the mud bar, Yellow jumps down and approaches the woman that flagged them down.

Insight on whether she looks like we just walked into their trap (I don't think my background will help, but I'll mention it just in case): 14

Solis grabs his staff and disembarks with Yellow and Kaslo. Addressing the old woman who spoke, he says "What attacked you two? Could it still be around?"

While still standing next to Yellow, Solis looks over the wounded woman to determine if her injuries are real.

Medicine: 9

As you approach you notice the wounds look genuine but you aren't sure from the distance you are keeping (really crappy roll). 

"My sisters and I were traveling towards home and we were overtunred by two crocodiles. My one sister got hurt pretty bad and as you can see she is dying. My other sister ran into the woods." She points towards where the other sister is hiding. "To lure them away from us and take care of them. We don't know any healing magic and I'm afraid her wounds are life threatening." 

The wounded "old lady" seems to be unconscious at the moment and the wounds are still bleeding under the really bad bandage job.
