Dajarkal has been ritual casting Locate Animals or Plants for about 8 minutes, speaking in a some magical tongue.
The only word that Oden and Dillyu recognise is "sahuagin" which she repeats several times... she then stops and says "sahuagin!" louder raising her hand and gesturing, then again "SAHUAGIN!!" this time followed by "OVER THERE, ON THE SHIP, SAHUAGIN!!!" and she points towards the port side of the ship.
Everyone turns to see six sahuagin coming over the rails onto the ship along with a hulking, shark-headed humanoid. Another two sahuagin and another hulking, shark-headed humanoid are currently trying to climb the side of the ship (they failed their athletics rolls, as per the spoiler in the earlier post).
[Oops, was typing the above up while Oden and Reguh were posting. If Reguh wants to have moved to (x4, y13) to speak to Dajarkal, I'm OK with that (let me know with your initiative roll).]
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
[It is late in the PM where I am, so I'll let everyone with an initiative of above 18 go prior to Aliez and Reguh rolling. When you two roll, if you roll 18 or above, you can take your turn straight away.]
Boerth's eyes widen, he pulls out his musket and fires his one shot at sahuagin S1: Attack: 23 Damage: 11 and then drops the musket at his feet as a free action.
Sharkbody Abomination A1 runs to (x5,y9) and bites at Vincent: Attack: 17 Damage: 12
Beatrice and Oden are up.
Oden, make a perception check on your turn.
[Damn, I don't know why I can't roll that well when I'm a player. It looks like Vincent is down in the first attack. I am using the homerule that drinking a potion can be done as a bonus action, though unfortunately administering it to someone else takes an action. This may become valuable information in this fight. Boerth also damages S1.]
Sharkbody Abomination A1's tattered pants and remnants of armour are exactly the same as those Jhenles was wearing before he was dragged away by the sudden tide. If this was once Jhenles, there is nothing left of his humanity (or was it elfinity?) and he is now a blood thirsty beast with evil intent in his eyes.
Also, don't forget to roll for Steve if he is going to be providing help actions, delivering any touch spells etc. The help actions needs to make sense and how Steve helps needs to be described.

"Deep Sashelas! She was telling the truth about the rituals!" With fury in his eyes, Oden descends a few steps to attack the closest Sahuagin. He swings the coral branch at its head just as a sleek blade of water takes shape.

Seeing Vincent collapse, Beatrice is gonna rage, then run in a straight line and vault over the railing to get to x10y5, slamming her greataxe down on A1's head.
Beatrice rushes over to her fallen ally and attacks the monstrosity that stands over him. Whilst her blow does not damage A1, it is enough to attract the creature's attention away from the unconscious Vincent. Unfortunately it also attracts the attention of a few of the closest sahuagin (S3, S4 and S7) whose blood-thirsty gaze also fall on Beatrice.
Dillyu moves to (x3,y13) and fires his crossbow at A1 (with sneak attack): Attack: 16 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.. Dillyu misses.
S5 and S6 and A2 attempt to climb onto the ship (though given the lack of space along the side when they go, only the highest roll will actually be able to then take movement and do anything useful): S5: 18, S6: 14, A2: 12. Only S5 makes it on board anyway. I don’t know how much of a caravel sits on top of the water, but eyeballing it on the ship/nautical rules we are using, suggests it is about 10ft. This means S5 only makes it as far as (x3,y8).
S8 attacks Oden: Bite Attack: 15 Damage: 2 (I'll roll spear attack after I know if this hits *1). It just hits.
S4 moves up next to Beatrice (x4,y10) and takes a Bite Attack: 12 Damage: 4 (I'll roll spear attack after I know if this hits *2). It misses.
S7 moves up next to Beatrice (x4,y11) and takes a Bite Attack: (I'll roll attacks after I know if any of the previous attacks hit, as all other sahuagin attacks will have advantage *3)
Dajarkal sees her friends in trouble and calls out "Oh no!!! Don't worry, our friendship is magic", and she runs her full movement to (x6,y10), summoning a unicorn spirit totem in her own space and casting cure wounds on Vincent healing him 6 hp. The unicorn spirit totem heals both Vincent and Beatrice3 hp as well.
S2 is going to squeeze up the stairs to (x3,y4) and attack Kenton - Bite Attack: 20 Damage: 5 (I'll roll spear attack after I know if this hits *4). It misses.
S1 is also going to squeeze up the stairs to (x3,y3) and attack Kenton - Bite Attack: 14 Damage: 5 (I'll roll spear attack after I know if this hits *5). It misses.
S3 moves up to Vincent (x6,y8) and takes a bite attack and claw attack with advantage (the max healing won't have restored him to full health): Bite Attack: 17 Damage: 5; Spear Attack: 21 Damage: 4. Vincent is down again.
*1 S8 Spear attack with advantage against Oden: Attack: 23 Damage: 17
Reguh smiles at Dajarkal and hesitates a moment”...you know, you take care of Steve for me and give me that bark skin!”
Reguh turns to Oden “there is a chance my use of the scroll won’t work, I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it in a moment”

Steve initiative.8 And I’ll be by Dajarkal because our conversation and Steve.
"Deep Sashelas! She was telling the truth about the rituals!" With fury in his eyes, Oden descends a few steps to attack the closest Sahuagin. He swings the coral branch at its head just as a sleek blade of water takes shape.
BA: Hunter's Mark
Attack: 27 Damage: 14
...forgot Hunter's Mark damage 5
[I've moved Reguh to (x4,y13). I've moved Oden to (x3,y12).]
Oden's attack cuts deep and S8 is looking very hurt.
Beatrice is up and Aliez is still to roll initiative.
Changes to the field of play:
Seeing Vincent collapse, Beatrice is gonna rage, then run in a straight line and vault over the railing to get to x10y5, slamming her greataxe down on A1's head.

Damage: 13
Beatrice rushes over to her fallen ally and attacks the monstrosity that stands over him.
