She nodded at Ashley's suggestion, then quickly thought a moment more. Two things. Crew members, and two pirates. There's me and Ash, and she's an amazing healer, so that's a plus. They might hurt the captives if i'm too aggressive, and plus Ash won't like that either. Try and find out what they're looking for, and then..let them go? We still have friends fighting up deck.
Ok, enough thinking, here goes nothing. Time to do something right.
"Hi, guys!" Crispy whips around and enters the room, waving. "Whatcha men lookin' for?" She gives them all a great big Crispysmile.
"We're looking for a girl with lots of gold and jewels on her, if you haven't seen her, just let us search and we'll leave the ship intact." They answer, although their attention is mostly focused on the cargo.
Hatt, you arrive at the top deck and join by Ominak's side. He's currently wrestling with a pirate.
(Gasp still your turn but you are charmed and feel compulsed to move toward the cabins.)
Crispy does a little quick thinking. Girl with lots of gold and jewels...?
"Oooh! She sounds like a princess! How beautiful she must be! Let me think. I MIGHT have seen her..?" Crispy says excitedly. A little more excitedly than she usually is, obviously. "Tell me more about her while I help you guys look!" Crispy walks over to the cargo, winking at the crew members when the pirates have their back to Crispy, and begins to "pretend" to "help" look.
Maybe if I seem helpful, they'll give me the information i'm looking for. They don't know Ash is behind the wall out in the hall. Let's see if I can make her proud of me.

(I’ll post my turn now, if that’s okay)
Hatt is saddened and confused by what he sees when he reaches the deck. He’d heard the sounds of battle as he’d come close, so the bodies were expected. He now also sees a tortle, which is a surprise, and some more new arrivals dressed like the ones below. They seem to be behaving strangely and converging on Ominak’s cabin, but not necessarily in an aggressive way? He’s unsure how to interpret all this, and feels overwhelmed. Okay, stop, think, just do your job. He looks to Karra, to Bennett and then to Gasp, and sees that Bennett and Gasp are wounded. Bennett seems to be the one in the middle of a fight, so he casts Healing Word as a bonus action, 4 hit points for Bennett. He then shouts What’s going on? to no-one in particular, and will ready the cantrip Sacred Flame to cast on any of the new arrivals who takes an aggressive action against one of his allies. His ‘allies’ include Bennett, Gasp, Karra, the captain or her crew, but not Ominak, and the cantrip will deal 4 Radiant damage if the target fails a DEX 13 save.

Gasp blinks for a moment and then turns his attention to the cabin. What's there? Why do they want in so badly? With this question burning in Gasp's mind, he flutters over to the cabin, using the dash action if needed, and attempts to see what's inside.
If possible, I'll go ahead and roll to see if Gasp can break the charm.

Karra, seeing the tortle attempting to gain the spotlight, uses this time to attempt to find a good vantage point from which to loose an arrow at the brigand. (Cunning Action: Hide) He then readies his arrow and releases it.

Wisdom Save: 15
For Gasp:
You fly by Ominak as he struggles with a pirate. He manages to see you out of the corner of his eyes and just tries to pull you back but the pirate stops him. As you fly inside, you see a pirate is pulling at a figure, cloaked in velvet silks and adorned with jewelry of the expensive kind. The pirate manages to take the figure's head cloak off, revealing a stunning beauty. She has fair skin and delicate features that make you think of a graceful dove, easy to admire but easier to break. Her hair is long and straight with the colors of an clear sunrise, bright and inviting you to come out. But her eyes, they seem to the only trait that does not belong to this one, yet seems to entice you. Slits similar to a snake takes place of her pupils as they frantically dart about the room as she fights with the pirate. And as you look at her, you feel that pull once more. Its awkward at first but something is whispering in the back of your mind that it's alright. That you can make her yours. And she will be your one and only. You manage to pull yourself back from those whispers as you remember the situation.

"Sit down with the others, we ain't got time for maybes. Cap will blow this ship to the deep if we don't hurry." One of the two look to Crispy as they motion to the crew huddled together. Then goes back to their search through the cargo. (Not done but will wait after Bennett)
The tortle charges forward to Ominak, bringing his greataxe upon the grappled dragonborn and an uppercut with it.
Attack: 28 Damage: 14
Extra Attack: 25 Damage: 17
The pirates that were besides him rush up to Bennett's and Karra's overlook, the lead one finding himself under bright white fire descend upon him

They burn the man as they still make their way up to Bennett, each one going for a swing at him.
Attack: 21 Damage: 5
Attack: 23 Damage: 5
They both manage to connect their strikes to Bennett. And as the they raise their scimitars back up, you all see a small storm forming above the tortle. The tortle is looking down at Hatt, he saw Hatt use his magic against the pirates and growls. The muscles on the tortle start to tighten and bulge as the storm grows bigger, centered on the tortle. He's enraged.
Karra would like to glimpse around the scene, checking for any sort of advantage they could get on the tortle after the heavy blows came in.
(Basically, he's seeing if there's something he could use to perhaps knock the tortle overboard, since that sort of battle prowess seems once again to be above their fighting standard)
Not knowing what’s happening topside, Crispy scoffs at the pirates. “Sorry, boys, i’m not a crewmember. I’m so much worse.“ She stops helping and turns to them. “Look. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Come on. All you need to do is tell me the details, and I won’t smash both of your faces against the cargo crates.” she gives them that award winning smile. “Here. I’ll even make it easy for you guys.”
Crispy unbuckles her sword belt and tosses it towards the doorway into the hall with a loud clatter. She takes off her jacket, and streches a bit, making it obvious this might turn into a good ole brawl.

"Ouch! That ******* hurts. I'm outta here." Bennett pumps his chest and holds his right hand up, back of hand facing them with his index and middle finger up at the sky. "Peace, canines"
Bonus Action: Cast Misty Step to "GTFO" 30 feet away wherever there isn't combat, but while keeping in range with Eldritch Blast.
Action: Cast Eldritch Blast at the tortle pirate. Attack: 20 Damage: 11
Crispy planted her feet firmly on the floor, got into a more comfortable stance. She raised her fists up, and squeezed, her knuckles cracking. She craned neck and snapped out the kinks. She had been in plenty of fistfights, and she asked the pirates nicely. Now she was gonna pound it out of them. Her heart rate increased in anticipation and she tightened her core, buckling up for the blows and pains to come. She prayed that Ashley noticed she tossed her blades so that she saw them in case things got to hairy. She tossed them in that direction on purpose, and would thank her later if she grabbed them should Crispy need them.
”Come on, don’t keep a lady waiting..!!” Crispy taunted. She flexed her arms in a menacing manner while she held them up. "Talk. Or your faces hit the crates."

He shakes off whatever enchantment had befallen him. Was it this...snake-eyed lady? No matter. The pirates appear to be after her for whatever reason. Gasp resolves himself to stop them! He lunges forward, boots fluttering and Flare alight in blazing radiant fire!

(Needed one since you did enter the room.)
You head round the mast and wait for the right moment to strike. But your arrow simply bounces off the tortle's shell as it clinks against it.
(You have total cover now.)
(Everyone topside can pretty much see small Gasp flying over into the cabin.)
