Although Faylen's strike misses, it provides the opportunity for Jarrett and V'rekh to finish the shark.
Unfortunately, the shark Uthred had previously distracted made its way back and tries to sink its teeth into Faylen. (Bite v Faylen, 6 to hit, 9 piercing damage)

Jarrett lets a cocky grin slide onto his face as he takes quick aim at the last shark without taking a moment to re-calibrate the magical device upon his forearm. Just as he flicks his finger to send another of the fiery bolts out there is a flash as the strange device seems to overload and burns his arm slightly as smoke wafts from it. "No!" He curses briefly as he turns his attention to fixing the device with a strange set of tools from his belt.

Glad that a shark is down, V'rekh focuses on the remaining one. He moves his hand, pointing at the shark and exclaims "duratus tua squamae!" to cast frostbite on it.
OOC: the shark must make a DC 12 CON saving throw or take 1 cold damage and get disadvantage on its next weapon attack.

As Jarrett's device malfunctions, possibly from an influx of sea water, V'rekh again coats a shark in a thin icey shell. Faylen lands a glancing blow with one strike, but the awkwardness of fighting is water causes her second to miss.
The shark tries to shake off the numbing cold and bite at Faylen again. (Bite v Faylen, 5 to hit, 7 piercing damage)
Jarrett spends a moment calibrating his magical device and shaking some of the excess sea water from the contact points with a satisfied grin as it begins to spark again. He throws his arm up and another of the white-hot sparks shoots out, but impacts short of the shark with a hissing splash and puff of steam. "Damn it! Come now, this beast is no match for us!"

Again V'rekh's spell freezes the shark briefly. This time Jarrett's device fires but misses its target. Faylen attempts to dodge out of the way of the fish's attack. (Bite v Faylen, 16 to hit, 7 piercing damage)

Borax moved slowly in the water toward the shark attacking Faylen. As he stepped toward the beast, he moved his hands in signs of supplication, calling once more on the fires of Gond.
As the flames consumed the enraged shark, Borax turned slowly to scan the area. the water and sub-aquatic terrain was unfamiliar and he was unsure where threats might come from, still, he slowly gathered with the others.
"Ah, Borax! Very good!" Faylen wipes her brow. "Let's get those slippery beasts in their barrels, V'rekh, and get back onto the ship. I could do with a bit of rest before we delve back into that cave."
Borax turns and slowly starts to tread along the seabed as the others swim ahead of him. As he does so he turns his head to scan the area. The sand underfoot was pierced by the occasional boulder or tower of rock. Fish swam lazily nearby. Some seemed curious about Borax and swim close enough to inspect him. Finally, his head emerged from the water and he saw the others gathering on the shore, dealing with the octopi. Borax shook himself and worked his joints, trying to lose as much water as he could before settling down to check his gear and make sure everything was ready to inspect the door further.

Faylen switches her stance and comes at the last shark with dual strikes.

Faylen looks at her companions, then at the shark. "Let's get this done, then!"

Again V'rekh's spell freezes the shark briefly. This time Jarrett's device fires but misses its target. Faylen attempts to dodge out of the way of the fish's attack.

"This shark is not eating any of us!" V'rekh chants the spell again, trying to keep the shark distracted so it can't bite anyone.
OOC: frostbite damage: 2
(CON Save v frostbite, 13)
Frustrated at the being frozen and again, the now bloody shark attempts another strike.

V'rekh once again calls the frost "duratus tua pinnulas!" while pointing at the shark.
OOC: frostbite damage: 4

The shark resits the V'rekh's spell this time, only to be consumed by Borax's radiant flames.
(Out of initiative)
As the flames consumed the enraged shark, Borax turned slowly to scan the area. the water and sub-aquatic terrain was unfamiliar and he was unsure where threats might come from, still, he slowly gathered with the others.
"Nice one, Borax!" remarks V'rekh. He will then close the rest of the distance to the octopi and do his best to grab one.

No treats seem to be coming. In a moment, V'rekh is able to grab two octopi with ease.
"Ah, Borax! Very good!" Faylen wipes her brow. "Let's get those slippery beasts in their barrels, V'rekh, and get back onto the ship. I could do with a bit of rest before we delve back into that cave."
V'rekh will start slowly swimming back to the island "on my way."
