Phillip, this island isn't what they promised in the brochure but you gotta admit the views are pretty spectacular. As you descend the stone steps you hear the sounds of the fight echoing up. Sure beats poolside pilates.
Battle Music!
Ian makes for the wreck and joins Zale by the hatch.
Grog stabs at the pesky razorfish!
(4 + 4 piercing damage) The fish scatter, as if something other than Grog has scared them off...
(everyone in/on the water may take opportunity attacks vs. fleeing fish/sharks)
The hatch flies open, and Gemma comes scuttling out. Zale's flying fist surprises her, but she dodges it by mere inches. The hag tears into the water genasi with teeth and claws.
(18 piercing + 16 slashing)
Jack, the only one underwater, sees them coming but it's too late to warn anyone. With a groan, a lumbering giant, made entirely of seaweed and driftwood, bursts from the water in between the party and the wreck, Magda and Lilith perched on its shoulders.
"You idiots are too late! My sisters and I already ate the little brat!" Magda exults.
The mass of seaweed clubs Grog squarely on the head with a driftwood branch, but the raging dwarf hardly feels it.
(6 bludgeoning after DR)
Jineer doesn't do so well; another driftwood branch comes down and smashes the wind out of her sails!
(19 bludgeoning)
It's déjà vu for Nela as grabbing vines encircle her waist.
(7 bludgeoning, and Grappled. Can spend action for DC 15 escape.)
The grabbing vines reach for Jack too, but he manages to dodge them with some fancy swimming.
Magda croaks an incantation, causing even more entangling seaweed to sprout and grab everyone touching water. Grog and Jack muscle free, and Jineer's spell allows her to slip free, but Nela is held fast!
(Entangle. Nela, is Restrained. Can attempt DC 13 STR save on her turn to escape.) With a laugh, Magda turns invisible and dives into the water.
Hairs on the backs of necks stand on end as Lilith conjures an angry stormcloud high up in the cavern ceiling and brings a bolt of lightning stabbing down on the water.
(Call Lightning. Nela and Jack take 14 lightning damage. Jineer takes half.) Dozens of lightning-slain fish bob up to the water's surface.
Illuminated by the lightning flash, Lilith changes appearance right before everyone's eyes, transforming from a very ugly woman to a truly horrifying monster!
[ +- ] Nela, Jineer, Grog, Jack
Horrific Appearance
Any humanoid that starts its turn within 30 feet of the hag and can see the hag's true form must make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is
Frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the hag is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success.
OOC:
Jack is up first. After that, it's Nela, Zale, and Jineer in any order.
Phillip (and Zelrion, if joining) will arrive next round.
