Startled, quite a few of the attackers look back to the rail where Sebastian and others stand and not a few of these actually start moving to attack those by the rails. The arrow he launched at the priestess impacts with a meaty *thunk* and she shrieks in pain, adding to the deceptions verisimilitude.

Sal's main focus is ensuring that people are still alive at the end of this. If she can get through the sahuagin to the remaining dropped people (starting with the one that dropped earliest), she will attempt to resuscitate them. (Will wait for some DM guidance on this first)

Sebastian looks at S’ika with a little worried look. “That may have worked too well. Prepare yourself!”

S'ika Looked over towards Sebastian and slowly nods. Assuming she had enough space to safely cast, she opened her mouth to cast Faerie Fire. Each object and creature affected is covered in a Violet light.

Dex Save: 13

OOC - Sorry for the delay

While the ones Sal used Aid on are able to crawl, sneak or otherwise get themselves out of danger, she is unable to easily reach any of the others until a large number of them start moving away from the combat. With their retreat, two more Sahuagin go down from blows, leaving fewer foes to face! All four of the larger Sahuagin move to the rails to aid their leader, and another 5 regular ones move there as well, leaving only three in combat. S'ika's spell takes hold on most of the big guys, and all but two of the 5. 

OOC - Carolina's action before the big guys attack

Sal's priority is people who are dying, so she'll move to them, even if it provokes an Attack of Opportunity.

When Sal moves into the fracas, two foes are able to take a swing at her, with one successfully striking her with it's spear. 5 piercing damage. 

Carolinas decides to try another tactic, and says, "Get off out boat say I! Callah!" dismissing his Flaming Sphere.

He turns his backside towards the Sahuagin by the railing, takes his aim (factoring in wind direction and humidity), makes sure no open flames are in the area, and pulls his own index finger.

A massive Gust of Wind rips out of his rear, attempting to blast them overboard!

STR ST 13

Taken aback by this attack from an unexpected (hind) quarter, three of the Sahuagin topple over the edge of the ship and hit the water below. The Priestess below is heard saying a series of burbling noises (Sahuagin: *I'm fine, Anenome-feces! Get the talisman!*). The four big guys swing at S'ika and Sebastian, three of them glowingly outlined by the spell, while the others move back to the adventurers, confused. The four lash out with supple necks and violent spears, their bodies glowing from multiple effects. Some of the attacks seem oddly altered, the accuracy strangely twisted somehow. 

Sebastian takes 8 damage from two blows, S'ika takes 5 from one. Bless and Bane are competing. 

Rook weaves through the crowd as best he can without getting wrecked and grips his pact sword.  He finds a target close to Sal if possible, or at least getting between the enemy and the healer, perhaps opting for one glowing with Faerie Fire to make the most of his strikes.  He thinks of his training with Bruz as he executes on of the attacks the more experienced fighter taught him.

"Sal, what is this?  Are you ok?!"

Pact blade attack: 15

Hex damage: 3

Weapon damage: 12

Sebastian winces at the blows, gritting his teeth. Carrying his bow in his off hand, he draws his rapier and thrusts into the closest and most wounded of his enemies. 

18 for piercing damage

7

If no advantage - Though he seems to slip on slimey water dripping off of his enemies and throws off his balance. 

Adv of glowing 16 - Sebastian thrusts his rapier into the Sahaugin in front of him  

S'ika grit her teeth as she was struck. Her anger quickly passes as she looks back towards her attacker with eyes like daggers. "Hey!  Why don't you give me your weapon so I can hit myself with it, because that'd be more effective than you trying it!" Vicious Mockery She says this as she walks behind whoever is closer to her.

Mockery Save: 13

Rooks arrival in the fracas begins with a sundering blow that cuts deep into the torso of one of illuminated foes! His mighty two handed blade rips through fishy flesh and bone and sends this particular enemy to it's death! Sebastian's blow, while far less spectacular, is just enough to dispatch his target, the rapier sliding in between what presumably would be it's viscera and out it's back in a small spray of blood. It, too drops to the deck, still shining from the Faerie Fire. S'ika also succeeds in having an effect on a foe, the magic-empowered statement making the Sahuagin stagger but not drop. 

The rest of the Sahuagin, less baffled now, gang up on the adventurers and are successful in bringing another one down, leaving two - the cleric and a warrior.Their forces reduced severely by the unexpected defenses they've encountered, they still strike out at any foolish enough to remain within reach. Another passenger goes down, but what seemed to be an insurmountable group has been whittled down considerably. Glancing over the side, Sebastian still sees the group of sharks still strangely waiting in the water, three Sahuagin are swimming back to the ship, but the priestess is out of sight. 

*Note* the 4 are still up, but there are only 7 of the others, of which one is still Held and 3 are affected by FF. 3 of these 7 are overboard. 2 of the four are also FF. All are injured in some fashion or another. 

In case it's not clear, we are into a new round again with Carolinas as first post. 

Sal will continue to move around, getting to the other dying people and attempting to stabilise them.

Medicine: 15

 Carolinas keeps the Gust of Wind blasting out of him and aims his backside towards any Sahuagin that are still lingering near the rail, attempting to blast them overboard as well. If none are near the rails, he will aim for the closest ones.

STR ST 13

Carolinas' ongoing anal turbulence succeeds in sending two of the rail-side combatants over! The remaining two by the rail see the odds are now against them and Disengage, jumping over as well and landing smoothly in the water. There are four remaining on board, and they too are looking a bit nervous, except for the Held one, who just stands there immobile. The priestess, seeing the progress of the tide, yells something upwards to the deck, exposing only her face to do so. *Return to the water! The Lady's prize is out of reach!*, at which point one more disengages and jumps overboard. The last two mobile Sahuagin are rather slow, but look ready to do the same. 

OOC - Rook, then Sebastian can go before they get an action.

Rook moves quickly to try to take down one of the fleeing Sahuagin before it can escape to help make these enemies think twice before attacking them in the future.  Glittering with frost on his chain armor and brandishing his unusually dark, shining sword he moves his hex onto the creature, hindering it's dexterity.  He takes a large swing in hopes of dropping the enemy swiftly before it escapes over the side of the ship, leaving the enemy sheathed in arcane energy upon a hit.

Booming Blade attack: 17

Weapon damage: 12

Hex damage: 3

Thunder damage if enemy moves: 4

Sebastian shoots at one of the fleeing fish men and moves to the magically held creature putting his bow away. Looking at a nearby crew mate, “Help me tie this one up before the magic wears off. The Capt’n will want to ask it some questions fer sure.”

Bow 8 for 9 piercing

Rook's spectacular blow utterly divides the poor creature, two halves sailing over the railing, glowing with the charged energies until they erupt with a concussion when the two parts hit the water, squeezing the innards out onto the water messily. Sebastian's arrow also transfixes the last fleeing Sahuagin, the arrow punching through a shoulder and rupturing it's lung. The adventurer Cleric keeps up the fierce concentration on the Held one as he also casts a spell that reaches out to touch all the still fallen combatants, trickling a healing into all of them until they groggily stir and come awake.

*Note* There are no fighting Sahuagin aboard now, just the ones fleeing in the water. They dive and are out of sight before anyone can get a bow on them, the sharks milling around the hull and devouring the damaged.
