The party closes in on the tentacles and kills them as a large octopus rises to the surface floating and lifeless. Snap kick slides down the mast until reaching the deck. The sharks begin to bang against the ship. One takes a bite doing significant damage to the ship. Boards crack though the hull remains in tact.

"Whoah we have beasts on deck. "The sailors fire cross bolts into one of the sharks.

"More marine creatures!" notes Arrogaio. "These are not - what is it? - birds of a feather. And these fish seeks more than food. They follow some commanding intelligence. Let us hope your 'sea hag' soon presents herself before my blade." Arrogaio draws a javelin. "Until then..." With a smooth motion, the fighter sends the big dart through the air, to land 9 damagesolidly in one of the sharks.

Duha the owl, apparently I keep forgetting to use the ADV.unable to coordinate effectively with its master, flutters to distract the shark after Arrogaio's attack, opening up its defenses to the others.

One squid down, two sharks to goConfor's crow caws in approval of the squid's demise, then cock's his head at his warlock. <Stay on your shoulder?> Stay on my shoulder. <Just as well, not my kind of fight.> Confor's mental smile doesn't reach his face as he quickly bonus action, shifted Hex spell effect to the wounded sharkshifts the curse to another target. He loads and aims his crossbow, timing the shot to take advantage of the owl's flyby. Arrogaio is actually pretty useful to have around, he admitted to himself. Better he die while leading from the front than Snapkick!

Snap Kick
right-aligned image



Snap Kick rushes to the rail and whistles in fear at the crunching sound when the shark bites the boat. He retrieves a dart from his quiver and hurls it at the ravenous fish below.

It becomes the world's first shark to have a blowhole.

Cha-kra
right-aligned image

If Cha-kra was surprised to see an octopus and a pair of sharks attack their ship in cohesion and without regard for their own survival, then he obviously didn't show it. From above he simply drew another arrow and struck true as one of the mindless sharks was pierced through its rubbery skin.

Briggs takes aim at one of the sharks with his crossbow, but the bolt just misses its target, Briggs having neglected to account for the refraction of the water. "Damn you, geometry!"

Arrogaio hits the shark as duha flies out to help distract the sharks. Confor shifts his gaze to the injured shark and attacks as well. Snapkick shoots a dart at the shark creating a new hole. Cha kra attacks the shark with an arrow clearly uncaring of the situation. Briggs and rhazor miss completely.

The sharks attempt to attack the fluttering bird to no Avail.

"There attacking the ship keep them distracted or were going down. Hey, great job bird keep doing your thing it's working." They fire but only hit water.

Snap Kick
right-aligned image



Snap Kick squints at one of the sharks and takes aim with another dart. He calls out grimly, "Smile, you son of a bitch!" The missile flies from his hand and lodges in the fish's flank.

Cha-kra
right-aligned image

From above in the nest, Cha-kra could clearly see the whole of the battle raging between men and sea animals. There was no dialog that he offered while shooting his arrows, just a sort of alien stoicism as he aimed his next shot. He presented himself as a four-armed archer, and clearly he had determined it best to remain in his current position outside of the water, his gythka staying unused on his back as he kept to his longbow. The next projectile flew past all the other attacks aimed at the most wounded shark, but despite the Thri-kreen's good angle on the sharks, his next shot appeared to miss.

ConforArrogaio instructed his familiar to help Confor, who would have been more grateful without the armored mage's idea of friendly banter. "I've met less annoying paladins than this @$$," the warlock muttered under his breath. But he knew better than to turn his nose up to the assistance of the owl. Taking aim at injured shark, or next shark if it is deadhis target, he fired a third bolt as the scaly predator snapped uselessly at Duha as the familiar attack has Adv due to Help action by Duhaflew by the shark. The bolt sank into the creature's head with a meaty thud.

The third time's the charm for Briggs, who finally puts a bolt in a shark, with deadly effect.

Through joint effort one of the sharks is killed leaving a Solo shark who attempts to hit the ship but misses before swimming down into the depths of the ocean.

"Hey you all ok? Those creatures seemed agressive. Let's hope we don't have further dangers."

You see ahead of you an island with jagged rocks in between. On the rocks are humanoid like creatures climbing around on all fours.
