Fianna does what she can to dodge the attacks but still finds herself struck a couple of times. This quickly turned into a disaster but there was little for it now except to try to survive. Still, amidst it all, Fianna pauses a moment to look at the stout women who has run up next to her... "Oh sunshine, you don't want to harm li'l ole me now, do you?" Fianna asks, using her Fey Presence to try to charm the woman...

A ear-splitting, thunderous blast detonates on the port side of the ship.
Constitution saves: Hook-handed man: 5 Old crossbowman: 2 Sailor 1: 9 Sailor 2: 13 Crossbowman in Doorway #1: 20 Crossbowman in Doorway #2: 8
Three of the sailors are killed outright in the blast, including the old crossbowman on the forecastle, and the others are sent reeling, badly injured. Katernin, still grappled by the hook, manages to stay just clear of the explosion.
A third door under the forecastle is forced open in the blast (the portmost one), and you can hear pots and pans flying and crashing.
Katernin may act. She is still grappled by the hook; the hook-handed man and one surviving attacker are next to her. One crossbowman in the nearby doorway survived the concussion.
Katernin buries her handaxe deep into her captor's chest even as he fends off the levitating vine-weapon. He wheezes and gasps – he looks gravely injured – but he makes one last, panicky swing with his hammer:
His weak attack is fruitless. Dain and Kelnan may act next.
The crew is in bad shape; they currently consist of: hook-handed man: in very bad shape; currently holding Katernin grappled with his hook boy-formerly-with-lantern: injured; surrendering to Dain. two-scimitar bald woman: in good shape, not putting up with Fianna's shenanegans sailor-with-scimitar: in bad shape; was attacking Katernin sailor-in-doorway-with-crossbow: in bad shape crossbow-attacker -in-rigging: ?

Dain will run to the edge of the railing of the deck he is on and throw a hammer, end over end, at the distant hook-handed man, hoping to finish him off. He'll then leap over the rails and try to close the distance with the nearest melee combatatnt.
Action: Attack: 12 Damage: 6 (I've given myself Disadvantage for range) Move: Move as far as possible, jumping the railing if possible. Other: In case it helps, Athletics check: 16 Note: The ranged, thrown attack keeps my rage going.
Dain runs across the poop deck and launches a hammer – it misses the hookman and flies cleanly into the open hatch behind him, where you hear crockery shatter. He the leaps the railing and drops the eight or so feet down to the main deck (fall damage mitigated by impressively athletic roll-and-recover.) He's now on the main deck next to the dead or dying captain's body.

Kelnan is nervous as his shield fades, lacking the reserves to refresh it again, but spying Fianna in peril, he points and fires a Ray of Frost at her attacker.

Kelnan hits Fianna's attacker with a blast of bluish arcane frost, inflicting minor injuries and encrusting her with a patina of dirty frost.
The unseen crossbowman above fires again at Molo: Light Crossbow Attack (vs Molo): 8 Piercing damage: 3
The stout woman charges Fianna with her frosted scimitar: Scimitar Attack (vs Fianna): 23 Slashing damage: 5
Katernin, still hooked and grappled by the barely-standing one-armed man, continues to be assaulted by a wounded sailor: Scimitar Attack (vs Katernin): 9 Slashing damage: 2 "Get her!" shouts the hookman.
A crossbowmen fires at Dain from the open doorway under the forecastle: Light Crossbow Attack (vs. Dain): 8 Piercing damage: 9
Fianna uses Eldritch Blast versus the scimitar wielding woman who is all up in her face... Shouting to her compatriots "So... Just as we planned, huh?"
A beam of crackling purple plasm sears Fianna's attacker. She staggers and a look of fear crosses her face as she realizes that their battle to defend their ship is going poorly.
Katernin (still hooked) and Molo (hobbled and atop the poop deck) may act next. The burly bosun, bleeding heavily, prepares to whack Katernin again with his hammer.
Katernin manages to take down both of her attackers in simultaneous blows, freeing her from the hook as well. They collapse into a growing pile of bloody corpses at her feet.
The injured crossbowman in the doorway gasps and retreats back into the hatch.
Dain and Kelnan may act next. The only visible attacker left is the stout woman attacking Fianna with her scimitar.
Dain storms forward and crushes Fianna's attacker with a single blow.
It's suddenly very quiet on the dark ship. There are no more visible opponents.
Kelnan may act if he has an action, otherwise combat may be paused or ended. The bodies of the dead lay strewn across the vessel.
There are three doors under the forecastle - the leftmost one is blown open; the center one is also open and contains the body of a crossbow-wielding sailor. There are four door under the poop deck; all closed. Another large hatch lay flush on the deck (with the captain's body atop it), presumably a cargo hatch into the hold.

The woman pauses and looks at Fianna curiously. Wis Save: 13
She struggles with her thoughts momentarily, but then clarity comes back into her eyes. "Fish'll pick yer bones tonight, ye' demon..."
Katernin and Molo may act next.
Molo let’s a shriek loose and casts shatter behind the sailors crowding the main deck to avoid catching his allies.

Kelnan digs deep and produces another Shield, deflecting the incoming bolt.

"Nobody else gets frozen if you walk away now!"
Katernin swipes at the man with her handaxe, as the glowing scimitar moves and slashes at the man as well.

Katernin is up next.
Katernin takes another swipe with her handaxe at the man, while the scimitar turns it's focus to the other thug attacking her.
