Round 1 (End)
Summary: Four eels come out of the wriggling mass of eels, all of them moving to Morgan. Their jaws biting and tearing at her flesh, the majority of them injecting her with some kind of simple poison, the liquid burning through her veins. (3 piercing + 8 poison) Wilson lands, lining up a shot and letting loose with his rifle. The sound cracking the air as two of the automatons light up in a shower of sparks and whirling gears (13). He quickly reloads, ejecting a shell before loading another one in. This time the shot going off a bit too soon before being properly lined up; the barrel still too hot to fire another round properly. Lafetha calls out, warning all of those that can hear. The lone undamaged automaton unleashes another burst of two concussive blasts; the force rippling through the air and causing the normally still lake water to splash about. The first slams into the mast; it cracking in half and falling over into the water. The second strikes the front ballista of the ship. Abigail swims up, only to see the mast falling from the Windhook and into the nearby water. Morgan and Sim, now together, each begin to cut the eels in two. All four slithering creatures soon to be in the water, dead. The two sparking automatons turn their attention to Wilson, each letting out a blast. (13 + 9 Force Damage: 22 force damage total.) Rollo and Firmin begin to turn the boat and move about 20 feet further away from the shore.
Round 2 (Begin)
Setup: Sim and Morgan are about 45 feet underwater. Roughly 10 feet away, further into the back of the hold, is a wriggling mass of eels. Seemingly to endless be slipping around one another like a knot. Abigail is on the surface, about 80 feet away from the shore of the automatons, and now 20 feet away from the Windhook. The mast is still floating there, having just been severed. Wilson is (25ish?) feet from the first Automaton, with the second being not too far after that. Lafetha, on the windhook, is about 100 feet away from the Automatons.
Both Automaton A & B are nearly destroyed.
(Initiative 22)
The mass of eels.... (spawns 2 more on a 5, 4 more on a 6): 2 just roils and twirls on itself.
Morgan looks at Sim, "well done Mr. Sim'Al'Ren. Mr. Wilson needs your help, he only fires that quickly when... He's highly motivated. I've got the nest!"
If Sim leaves
"First the Leviathan and now this?! I don't know why all of the sudden there are tentacle monster trying to eat me all the sudden. Here's a message for all the tentacle monsters out there... Mine's bigger!" Morgan slices their sword in the air a corresponding gash opens up in reality itself and innumerable night-black tentacles spill into room as Morgan hurries (whole move) through the hole. hunger of Hadar5 cold damage.
If Sim kills all the eel
"Awwwww, my cool one liner! Also you can do that? I feel like as your direct supervisor I should be privy to abilities or special talents" before Sim can answer, "shit! Wilson needs back up!" Double move to top of the ship.
If there are eels that are alive
"Awwwww, my cool one liner! Uuuuh, uh, uh... Die last? You get the blast!" Attack: 20 Damage: 6 Attack: 10 Damage: 5
Abigail starts to swim toward the shore. ((Even with her Action and Movement that is only 30 feet. So, they will probably be dead before she even gets to the shore... but she does not know that)).
Summary: No new eels churn out from the swarm. Wilson loads a cartridge into the chamber; trying to aim. The sparks of nearly destroyed automatons a bit too bright; causing the shot to strike a section that was already damaged. Lafetha looks out, believing they will be fine. Abigail begins to swim closer to the shore. Sim and Morgan blast the spawn of eels. The automatons fire once again. Once striking the boat, the vessel shaking. One of the breaking automatons fires and misses Wilson, but the other striking him (10).
Round 3 (Start)
Setup: Morgan and Sim are about 45 feet down into the water, and 80 feet to the shore. Abigail is 50 feet to the shore. Lafetha is on the boat, 120 feet from the shore. Wilson, on the shore, is about 20 feet away from one of the sparking automatons.
(Initiative 22)
The slithering mass of eels stops. A small apple sized casket gem with red veins spread throughout falls to the ground as the remaining eels fade away into nothing.
Summary: The mass of eels is destroyed; their bits seeming to just fade into the water. A casket-crystal falling down from where they once were. Abigail swims closer to shore. Morgan begins to swim up towards the surface. Sim, grabs the crystal and takes a quick look around, but it's dark and murky; preventing him from noticing anything out of the ordinary. Wilson takes a shot, this time the automaton being struck and exploding; bits of metal and wood flying out in different directions. The main husk of the automaton incinerated, leaving nothing behind. Lafetha jumps in the water, sending a healing wave of energy from the unknown to waft over Wilson (+7 HP, +2 TEMP HP). One of the sparking automatons takes a shot at Wilson as it's leg wobbles. The shot going wide as the blast strikes a tree. The third automaton continues it's two blasts on the Windhook; cracks forming in the hull from the impacts.
Round 5 (Begin)
Setup: Wilson is 40 feet away from Automaton B, and 80 feet away from Automaton C. Morgan is about 15 feet under water, and 80ish feet from either automaton. Abigail, in the final strokes of her swimming, can head the remaining 20 feet to either automaton B or automaton C. Sim is 45 feet under water. Lafetha is bobbing in the water, 115ish feet away from Wilson, and 40ish feet from the wreckage.
Morgan swims up to the surface, "What are those? Hey you! What are you? Stop blasting holes in my partner!... and My ship! Fine! be that way!" If there is a choice on which one to attack, they attack the one attacking Wilson first eldritch blast Attack: 18 Damage: 8 Attack: 7 Damage: 12
Feeling his injuries lessen Wilson glances and sees the others coming up towards the shore, He takes to the air Aiming at the furthest Cannon and Fires again,

Round 5 (End) Combat Over
Summary: Wilson launches up into the air, before aiming down the long barrel of the musket and taking a shot over at the clockwork thing (C). It begins to shower and spark. Abigail notices both the automatons are sparking, and heads over to the one that just got pinged. Darting out of the water and digging her blades deep into the mechanical structure. The wood falling to the side as it begins to collapse in itself. But whatever enables it to fire these blasts of magic seems to go critical, causing it to explode with her right in it's path. Sim and Morgan both pop up out of the water at the same time, the twin energies of the eldrict blast flying around Sim's arrow before colliding against the lone remaining automaton. It also exploding before being a vaporized pile.
Abigail DC 12 DEX Save for Half: 5 Fire Damage
The Windhook begins to turn back around to pick up the crew. "If you're done, we've got business. I need two people on the oars, and someone to dig the mast out of the water 'n hold it down while we row!" Captain Wednesday yells as the boat gets closer to the wreckage.
(Once you have finished doing any sort of further exploring of the wreckage, you can climb aboard. 3 characters will not get a short rest as they row and another keeps the broken mast and sails together)
Sim climbs back up onto the Windhook to rig up a pulley and rope. Then takes the end of the rope and dives down into the water to tie it to the mast and bring it back up. Once it is on board he will tie mast down to secure it as needed.
