This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Using the first die of each of Aisha's rolls. The attacks are not at disadvantage because the creature that attacked her became visible. Garu and the creature she is fighting are just out of range of slow, so applying Abraxas's ray of frost. Garu's jian (rapier) attacks are at disadvantage underwater (only daggers, javelins, shortswords, spears, or tridents do not have disadvantage underwater). Lastly, just to clarify the semantics, ensnaring strike must be cast before it applies to an attack.

Abraxas fires a ray of frost into the side of the moving creature, causing it to stumble long enough for Aisha to land a strike as well, punching her dagger into its carapace. Wounded, it screeches, and sprays an array of lights atop the trio on the raft. Aisha is [Tooltip Not Found] by the display. The creature skitters around, preparing to pounce, unaffected by Harmony's mockery.
Sighing, Mro Jus Bir gingerly sets down his book and reaches into his pack, pulling out a length of rope. "Do not worry, I will make sure this one is taken care of," he says. Mro Jus Bur reaches the raft as well, rolling around Aisha and striking with his rapier, missing the crab as it moves, and sticking the end into the wood.
Underwater, Garu finds her attacks slowed, but does manage to evade an attack and land a blow into one of her assailant's legs, coloring the ocean red around her.
Turn Order: Enemies Players <=====
Placement: Abraxas, Aisha, and Harmony are atop the raft with two enemies, one of which is incapacitated. Garu is 45 feet away, underwater. Aisha is engaged in melee combat with one enemy. Garu is engaged in melee combat with one enemy.
Tracking: One enemy on the raft is incapacitated for 42 seconds. The other enemy on the raft is badly wounded. The enemy fighting Garu is lightly wounded.
Aisha is lightly wounded.
Aisha has bardic inspiration (1d8) for 60 seconds. Aisha is blinded. Aisha's healing spirit is active for 54 seconds.
Harmony pouted as her cantrip hadn't worked until she saw Aisha get blinded by the color spray. "Aisha!" she says as she quickly moves to behind Aisha and pats her back, casting Lesser Restoration to get rid of the blindness. She hears Bir, thankful that he will take care of tying up the other one and glad to see Bur coming to help beat this crab too.
Movement: Move to behind Aisha
Action: Cast Lesser Restoration on Aisha, ending the Blinded condition
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
For a moment, All Aisha can see is white.. everywhere. And just as she's beginning to lose her bearings, Harmony blesses her with magic to end it. This one thanks you... she would say to harmony quickly, before becoming another dervish of blades as both her arms lash out with her twin daggers, this time.. turning her head to the side, to hopefully avoid the worst of the effect.. should it happen again.
Attack: 8 Damage: 5
Attack: 21 Damage: 7
(OOC- LOL Also unless i'm misinterpreting two weapon fighting... I should be able to get in a third attack; Will post it below after everything else... ) As both blades find their marks... She feels the energy of her spirit flow through her, since she isn't aware of anyone else taking damage.
Spirit: 2
When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you're holding in the other hand. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.
If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.
If applicable.... Attack: 14 Damage: 7
Also since harmony touched Aisha.. I feel she would also get the spirit heal for temp HP since she technically entered its range?
OOC: Aisha does indeed get a third attack using her bonus action, however as the rule says, you do not add your ability modifier to an offhand attack, so the third attack will do 2 damage instead of 5.
The healing spirit occupies only a 5 foot cube, and since no part of any person's movement can end within another creature's space, it is not possible for Harmony and Aisha to both receive the healing from the spirit, and unless I'm missing something, it doesn't give any temp HP, only heals 1d6.
Aisha's vision clears, the beneficiary of Harmony's healing, and tabaxi goes to work, moving too quickly for the crab-like creature. She punches her dagger into its back three times before Abraxas ends it with a well placed ray of frost. Garu grabs the arm of the creature underwater, just beneath its claw, and thrusts her jian through its underbelly. The others soon see it float to the top of the water, dead.
"There, simple enough. What did you do to this one? I've never seen a Brachari in such a stupor,"Mro Jus Bir comments as he finishes the bindings of the incapacitated creature.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ah i just read through it, and apparently I've been under a misunderstanding. for quite a long time.. I always thought any healing over max became temp HP, just that you couldn't overwrite it, etc. Noted. And aye I had forgotten and just copypastad..
This one thanks you again Harrmony. Aisha almost saw the light for a moment. she looks at the creature that was unconscious, for only a moment, keeping her eyes and ears out for any more movement or noise that could indicate more as her spirit continues to mend her wounds (3)
Ah, it is a trick she often uses... she catches herself as she realizes the tease of 'eating its soul' or whatnot would likely make Harmony upset. This one does not understand how it works, but like most spells, Aisha does not believe it will last overly long... Whatevre we are going to do, we should do it swiftly, before it awakens.... Bind it more, and .. if possible.. question it.
Harmony nodded, grinning as Aisha thanked her twice. "You're welcome!" she had said, watching as they defeated the crab and then another crab came floating up on the water dead. Then Bir had finished up tying the one, asking what they did to it and calling it a Brachari. She had heard Aisha, nodding back in agreement with her. "I had cast a spell called Hypnotic Pattern on it. It makes those in an area see twisting colors for a moment and if it works, they end up charmed and incapacitated for a while. That is true, it does not last long though. I can question it, just let me know when you've bound it more first. But you seem to know what these crabs are, what exactly are Brachari?" Harmony said back with a cheerful smile, happy that she was able to help out.
"It has been a long time since I have seen one,"Mro Jus Bir comments as he finishes the bindings. "They are demonic little creatures. Luckily, they stay deep within the ocean...or, stayed deep within the ocean, as it were. You will have a hard time questioning it, if that is your goal. I do not know if they speak any language, let alone ours."
“Hmm,” Abraxas says. “ Are there other ways to communicate with it? Mind to mind perhaps? Forming a friendship with these animals? Or can we trace it back to its origins? Are there crab footprints on the bottom of the bay?”
Harmony had heard Bir, nodding back and thinking. "If it does speak a language, I should be able to understand it thanks to my spell. But we don't know if we don't try to question it first, and if it's not friendly, I have another way to possibly make it friendly for an hour. Though, it might be more willing to talk if it thinks that I'm the only one here as opposed to being surrounded by unfamiliar people." she had said back, casting Tongues on herself. Then she looks around, wondering if Garu is still in the water. "Is Garu in the water still? You guys should go find her and wait nearby. If anything happens or I need help, I'll let you know." Harmony told everyone as she smiles, reassuring them. Then she will stand 10 feet from the crab in front of it, waiting for it to wake up as she will smile and give off a friendly demeanor.
Garu emerges from the water. "We should find a final resting place for this one," referring to the recently-deceased crab critter floating on the surface.
"Anything learned about the live one yet?"

"Perhaps now that we know the demon crabs are responsible for the damage to the nets, the Wyso elder can help us find where they are coming from," Abraxas says. He asks one of the Wyso to find the elder, inform them what has happened, and ask for a visit or suggestions. In the meantime, he will stand to one side of Harmony ready to try and be helpful if he can.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Garu emerges from the water, so too do the other Wysto guards, approaching the raft with looks of concern and shock. "Brachari? What are they doing so close to the surface?"
The guards nod at Abraxas. "Yes of course, we will get the elder," one says, and they rush off toward the center of the village.
A brief moment passes, and as the dazed Brachari stirs, the water to the side of the raft erupts from all sides, signaling the presence of more of these invisible creatures.
Placement: There seem to be around a half dozen Brachari (based on the splashes) that have leapt onto the raft, all invisible, all within movement range. One Brachari is visible, currently bound.
Harmony waited as the one Brachari started to wake up, shocked when water erupted from all sides of the raft but couldn't see anything. It must be more of the invisible Brachari! She had heard Garu, nodding back in agreement. "Please, calm down. We just want to talk." she called out as she looks at the bound Brachari. She then casts Charm Monster on it, really hoping that this works.
Action: Charm Monster on the bound Brachari, 15 WIS Save
Abraxas is not sure how this will work, trying to communicate with the Brachari. He cast Mage Armor earlier in the day. So, as discreetly as possible, he'll cast Blade Ward now. He'll try not to look dangerous and hopes the Brachari don't attack.
OOC: The crab became visible to Garu once it attacked her. Sorry, I definitely didn't make that clear.

In that case, Garu strikes with her jian twice:
Attack: 26 Damage: 11
Attack: 12 Damage: 10

Frustrated by the slowed movements using her favorite weapon, Garu regroups and thinks through her actions.
As a bonus action, she casts Ensnaring Strike and attempts again to hit the creature:

Abraxas will cast Ray of Frost at the demon crab closest to him: 19 for 9. He eyes Garu's opponent and wonders about Magic Missile underwater.
