((Can Stanley use a reaction to that attack?  I have Chronal Shift...))

Yeah, definitely. Please do.

So, I just read Chronal Shift (definitely a cool feature) and it causes the attacker to re-roll and no matter the roll (better or worse) we have to go with the new roll. So, here's the new attack roll (with disadvantage):

• Attack: 18 Damage: 10 

That's still going to be a hit and enough damage to knock Stanley into death saving throws.

I think it's safe to say, at this point that it's Snurk's turn. lol ((We tried!))

Snurk will stab the shark head before him with his spear, then use his patient defense feature to dodge

Attack: 18 Damage: 8 

DC 12 Con save or 6 

((jumping ahead a bit because I can't check in as regularly these days))

On his turn, Usul continues to swim back a bit to keep range, and will loose another crossbow bolt at the one in front of Snurk ((or if it's dead, another that is engaged with a party member))

Snurk successfully hits the aberration for 8 damage, and he is badly injured at this point. 

Sharkbody Abomination 2 DC12 CON save: 8. He doesn't take any extra poison damage, though. Another attack like that, however, and you suspect he might go down.

Stanley's turn is next. Since the only thing he can do is Death Saving Throws, I'm going to go ahead and roll the d20 for him: 19. And that's one save!

Selachai and the Sahuagin all seem content to watch as events unfold.

Next up is Nalos.

Nalos points a finger at Sharkbody Abomination 3, says something in Primordial, and hexes the creature. 

Then, Nalos uses his bonus action to attack him, again with Grasp of the Deep (with Hex adding another 1d6 of damage): 

• Attack: 12 Damage: 11 Lightning Damage + 6 Necrotic Damage (if the attack hits) 

The sharkbody takes all of the damage, clearly hurt from his recent attacks. (I haven't forgotten about Bardic Inspiration. I'm waiting to use it.)

Next up is Usul!

Round 3, Turn 1 - Beginning of Usul's Turn (the map hasn't changed)

Attack: 15 Damage: 9

 

Usul backs up another 10' away from Sharkbody Abomination 3, and looses another crossbow bolt at Sharkbody 2. It hits it, right in the gills, and after a few moments of struggle, the creature stops moving, just slowly sinking into the trench lifeless. 

Darla is next!

Updated Map - Round 3, Turn 2 - Beginning of Darla's Turn

Darla will concentrate healing energy into her hand, and swim just close enough to Snurk to tap him with a finger, casting cure wounds(10 ) then swim closer to Usul, glaring daggers at the sharkbody that knocked Stanley unconscious.

Darla swims 5' forward, heals Snurk, and then swims 5' back, ending up were she was to begin with. 

It is now the Sharkbodies' turn.

Sharkbody Abomination 1 will move 15' forward and bite at Darla (vs AC14):

• Attack: 26 Damage: 13 
• Darla avoids taking any damage from this one

Sharkbody Abomination 3 is going to attack Nalos (vs AC15), again:

• Attack: 24 Damage: 14  (he should have rolled with DIS bc he is Hexed)
• Attack: 7 Damage: 13 
• Nalos narrowly escapes getting bitten, as well.

Next up is Snurk!

Updated Map  - Round 3, Turn 5 - Beginning of Snurk's Turn

Snurk stabs and kicks at SA1

Attack: 15 Damage: 7 DC12 Con save 5 Poison damage

Attack: 20 Damage: 5 

((Same plan for Usul)) Letting another bolt go, this time at the one attacking Darla.

Attack: 13 Damage: 7 DC12 Con save 6 Poison damage

Attack: 17 Damage: 6 

DC12 CON save: 22 - he does not take the poison damage, but all of the other damage, he does take. Sharkbody Abomination 1 is clearly hurting at this point, having less than half of his health left.

Gotcha. I'll add it in there on your next turn.

Next up is Stanley, who is rolling death saving throw #2: 16 - that's a save!

So, that brings us to Nalos.

For Nalos's main action, he is going to cast eldritch blast at Sharkbody Abomination 3, followed up with his bonus action attack from Grasp of the Deep:

• Eldritch Blast: Attack: 7 Damage: 8 Force Damage
• Grasp of the Deep: Attack: 17 Damage: 4 Lightning Damage

 The crackling stream of force energy left Nalos's hands and made a direct impact on the creature, clearly hurting it deeply causing a misty cloud of watery bloody to start coming out of its mouth. Then, with the tentacles whipping at him with lightning damage, he found himself electrocuted to death. Sharkbody 3 is dead and starts to sink into the trench. 

Next up is Usul. 

Updated Map - Round 4, Turn 1 - Beginning of Usul's Turn

Usul looses another bolt, this time at Sharkbody Abomination 1 as it tries to attack Darla. His bolt silently cuts through the water with its aero- and apparently hydrodynamic shape and weaves its way into the creature's mouth (since it's still open from trying to bite Darla) and finds purchase in the top back of the creature's mouth. The aberration's head is knocked back with the impact and the body begins to sink, lifelessly. 

We are still initiative and it is Darla's turn!

Updated Map - Round 4, Turn 2 - Beginning of Darla's Turn

Up to now, even though Selachai ordered her minions to take care of the group of you, her 5 sahuagin worshipers formed a quarter-circle around her, facing you all, in a very defensive position. they haven't moved (yet?) towards you, but they are obviously ready for an encounter.

Darla will swim up to Stanley and place a hand on his cheek, focusing her healing energy into the touch, and casts cure wounds, healing 6 (re-roll with inspiration with permission 4 )
