"Acknowledged, captain.," Sae replies.   "I'll try and ambush him from behind that door as he comes out.  And ... ,"  she rubs the gem on her helm as she speaks, "this little toy will give me some idea what he's thinking and planning.  I'll try and signal you if I can; the other thing about this helm is that if I want to risk revealing myself to him, i might  be able to use it to enforce a magical suggestion."   Walking over to the corner she has indicated, she will try and see in at the door.  If she thinks she can do it without Black Bart noticing, she will slide or push her hunting trap in front of the door so he has to step over or around it to get out/

===========================

(so I think the breakdown in game terms would be:

Action: walk over and possibly slide trap into place

BA (Cunning Action): Hide 17

Round 1
As you finish making all your preparations, another cheer rises up from the pirates as the door creaks open. A mighty roar can be heard as a hulking black dragonborn in half-plate armor charges into the arena... in his left hand he wields a dagger, dripping with black liquid. And in his right is his scimitar... the weapon's blade wreathed in flames.

But no sooner than he appears, Emrys' bathes him in an eerie stillness. He looks around, for a moment unsure of himself. In the confusion, he doesn't notice the steel trap that Sae laid out in front of the door until he feels the pressure plate under his foot. Even so, with the trained reflexes of a skilled warrior he somehow manages to avoid getting his leg caught in the steel jaws of the trap (he passed his Dex save)

Sayyida already declared her intention to rush at the Dragonborn and attempt to hit him; her strike missed.

Emrys, Areleo, and Sae may now take their turns in any order.

Areleo will look at the Dragonborn and feel a bit a fear rise in him but it quickly transform into excitement as he summons the beast of the sea to empower him to fight. With claws extended he will stick the dragon.

“No need to call me captain anymore, Sae, and I trust your judgement in combat.”

Those were the last words before the spell, before Black Bart entered the arena. Emrys advanced his hand, thrusting his focus as a swordsman would thrust a rapier, releasing the emerging held there. As the enemy started to understand the situation the warlock started to plan his next move. His first instinct was to use the Pactkeeper and recover his energies, the ability to cast another spell. Armor of Agathys had served him more than well, after all. But then it became clear that they needed to inflict damage on the pirate. Eldritch Blast and the Tentacle could do that. Could do even better if he took the time to apply Hex. Hex and Eldritch Blast? He contemplated. That would be a good start and make his next offensive more dangerous but then he would be unable to cast more complex magic. 

“His strength will be reduced!” He shouted before remembering the Silence. ****! Emrys started to whisper incomprehensible words and move his hands as if weaving an invisible cloth. Tendrils of shadow started to rise around the dragonbonrn, attaching to its body, infusing a curse into it. Hoping the phenomena would make his companions look around trying to understand what was happening, the halfling start to move further away from the melee then held an arm high, grabbed it with his free hand and pointed to the pirate in an attempt to mimic a message– grapple Bart.

Notes: Emrys spends his bonus action to cast Hex and impose disadvantage on strength checks. He then upends his action to recover a Spell Slot with the Rod of the Pact Keeper and his movement to back further 25ft away from the fight (so not even with Dash + Action Surge Bart would be able to reach him next turn).

"Damn, he's good.," Sae mutters to herself, seeing the ease with which Bart evaded her trap.  "We've got to put him down fast."  Realizing that her bow is still the best damage dealing weapon she has until pressed to rapier range, she nocks her heaviest arrow and draws the string back to her ear.  As she releases the shaft, she focuses all her warrior training into hitting the spot just above his midriff that would stagger the dragonborn's balance for one critical moment and allow one of her comrade's blades to slip in ...

===================

Longbow attack: 18       Damage on hit: 7

- sneak attack (Sayyida within 5'): 8

- distracting strike (martial adept): "When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to distract the creature, giving your allies an opening. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn."

(OOC: I don't think that Emrys can get much farther away... he's already pretty much in the farthest corner of the arena.)

As Emrys casts his hex, he drops his concentration on silence. Bart lets out a roar of pain and rage as both Areleo and Sae hit him... but he doesn't look like he's going down soon. Seeing Areleo on one side of him and Sayyida on the other, he rapidly slashes at Areleo twice with his flame tongue scimitar, and with his left hand he attempts to stab Sayyida with his dagger of venom

Action
FT Scimitar attack 1 (Areleo): 21, Damage: 10 (Slashing) +10 (fire)
FT Scimitar attack 2 (Areleo): 21, Damage: 9 (Slashing) +7 (fire)

Bonus action
Dagger of Venom attack (Sayyida): 26, Damage: 6 (Piercing)

Sayyida, please make a DC 15 Con save against the dagger's venom. On a failed save you'll take an additional 14 Poison damage and be poisoned for 1 minute.

Wade will cast Hold Person on Bart and then have his Spiritual Weapon (cast before) attack. (It is in the form of a shark swimming though the air - ala JAWS) 

Hold Person save is WIS 14

Spiritual Weapon - Attack: 18 Damage: 10

Sayyida Con Save- 11

Wis save: 15; you force him to burn his use of Indomidable.

Bart casts shield to block the Spiritual Weapon attack (since Emrys dropped concentration on silence to hex him, he is able to cast spells now)

( Nope)

(OOC: I just remembered that, because of Sae's Distracting Strike, Wade's attack should have had advantage. I went ahead and rolled a second attack for you, but the result on that second die was a Nat 1)

Top of Round 2

Bart took a bit of a pounding between Areleo and Sae, but the Dragonborn is still standing strong. Meanwhile, the venom from his magic dagger courses through Sayyida's veins, as she feels waves of nausea rolling over her.

Combat tracker:

Emrys, Areleo, Sae, and Sayyida are up (in any order)!

Areleo will smile as blood sprays from his body feels that he might fall to a worthy foe. But he will attack with all he has

Claw attack 1: 16  Damage: 8

Claw Attack 2# 13 Damage: 8

Sayyida winced and called on the Ocean to wash the poison from her blood.

Action- Lay on Hands - 5 hp to Neutralise poison.

Emrys cast eldritch blast and used Tentacle of the Deep on Bart. The EB attack missed, the Tentacle hit. Bart took 7 Cold damage from the tentacle and 5 Necrotic damage from hex. Bart is also slowed by 10 ft until the start of Emrys' next turn.
