Koya nods in thanks to Kaelen and finishes tying their knots. When both their tether and their makeshift hook are completed they'll begin to slowly climb down the side of the ship to the body.

Kaelen’s sharp eyes catch the faint ripples in the water, movement barely noticeable but enough to set him on edge. His hand instinctively moves to draw his shortbow, the string pulled taut as he keeps his gaze fixed on the disturbance. Without breaking his focus, he calls out to Koya in a calm, measured voice.
"Koya, movement in the water—thirty feet to your right. Stay sharp."
Kaelen keeps his arrow nocked, ready to loose it at a moment's notice, all the while maintaining his cool, knowing that panic could cost them more than a corpse.
At Kaelen's call, and feeling somewhat reassured by Kaelen's nocked arrow, Koya will pause on the rope and attempt to get a better look at the movement from their vantage point– Also, how close are they to the body?
Perception: 11

Koya is going to try pull Ted towards them and use their hook to tie the spare rope securely around Ted's chest. If they're able to get it to a place that feels secure they'll call up to Squall and the other crew members to begin pulling on Ted's rope, and then they'll begin to climb their own.

Kaelen watches as the movement in the water inches closer, the dark shape gliding beneath the surface with unsettling speed. He can see Koya struggling to reach the body, but there’s little time left. His grip on the bow tightens, eyes narrowing as he tracks the approaching threat.
"Koya, it's closing in," he warns.
His fingers hover over the arrow’s fletching, ready to loose the shot the moment the creature breaks the surface. Every muscle in his body is coiled, prepared for whatever might emerge from the depths.
“Koya! Leave it!” Kaelen calls out, his voice sharp now. His eyes stay locked on the approaching shape as he looses his arrow, aiming for where the creature will surface.
Arrow to hit: 7
Without hesitation, Kaelen reaches for another arrow, already preparing his next shot, determined to give Koya a fighting chance to escape.
When Kuhkay hears Kaelen warning about the movement in the water, the harengon will move over to near the railing of the ship. Spear ready to assist in fighting whatever is moving in the water.
Koya, you see the movement drawing closer and closer. 10 feet... 8 feet... 5 feet... 2 feet... and then nothing. There's no movement whatsoever. The water goes still.
Koya, make one more strength check, this time with advantage, due to the adrenalline coursing through your veins.

Kaelen keeps watch over the area intently as Koya starts to climb down.
Perception: 18
Squall walks up and helps hold the rope as they lower them down.

As Koya starts lowering down, Kaelen, you see some movement in the water (Signified by the red dot)

The body is within reaching distance, but it'll take a reasonable amount of Strength to pull him up and out of the water.
Koya isn't able to see the movement Kaelen's talking about.
Kaelen only:
you see the movement draw closer.

To pull Ted towards you, go ahead and make a DC12 Strength check.

Koya swears under their breath and will attempt to throw the rope so that it hooks Ted.

Oof. tough luck. roll that again.
Koya, you are now able to see the ripples of something moving in the water 10 feet off to your right.
