Naval combat, how interesting. I will get my hot air balloon up. But while the ladies keep the enemy in range... Pelner rushes over to his balloon and pulls the monkey covering his ears off his shield, placing it on the platform of the basket closest to the retreating ship and chants hear no evil, Hear No Evil, HEAR NO EVIL!. The monkey activates and and a large bolt of energy leaves it mouth aimed at the other ships helm.
[ +- ] Force Ballista (Hear no Evil)
Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the turret, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the turret.
Rolls
Turret attack, damage - (1d20+8, 2d8)
1d20+8 : (7) + 8 = 15

The EleMental RingMagic ring (Requires attunement)
While wearing this ring and touching water, you can use an action to summon a water elemental, as if you had cast the Conjure Elemental spell. The ring can't be used this way again until the next dawn.
You have a telepathic link to the elemental you summon. If the conjured elemental is slain, banished, or dispelled by anyone other than you, the mental backlash causes you to go crazy as if under the effects of the Confusion spell. This effects lasts for half as long as the elemental was in existence.

OOC:
When you have had a short rest to attune, you will discover these weapons' properties. Until then, they will function as an ordinary cutlass and flintlock pistol.[ +- ] From Dusk Til Dawn
Magic flintlock pistol (requires attunement)
This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with it. It needs neither ammunition, nor powder, and can be shot underwater. The damage it deals is radiant damage. It has a maximum of 5 charges and regains 1d4+1 charges each day at dusk. When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack using this weapon, you can spend 1 charge as a reaction to deal 1d8 radiant damage to a second creature within 10 feet of the original target.

[ +- ] Footloose Blade
Magic cutlass (1d6 slashing; 3 lb.; finesse, light), (requires attunement)
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues. You can use a bonus action to toss this magic sword into the air and speak the command phrase, "Everybody, cut footloose!" When you do so, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it. The sword uses your attack roll and ability score modifier to damage rolls.
While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same bonus action, you can cause the sword to attack one creature within 5 feet of it.
After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you grasp it or move more than 30 feet away from it.
If you crit with this weapon, it casts Otto's Irresistible Dance on the target and another creature of your choice within 10ft of it.

Jineer begins quacking while throwing a duck figurine on the deck of the ship. 7 giant ducks appear on deck and Jineer jumps up on one. "Anyone for a boarding party?" Jineer will wait for her comrades to mount up before moving.
[ +- ] The Mighty Duck Dynasty
(Wondrous Item)
This wooden figurine of a duck wearing a crown is small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to quack the correct duck call and throw the figurine to a point on the ground (or water's surface) within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a flock of 7 giant ducks for up to 6 hours. Each duck has the same stats as giant ravens, but add a Swim Speed of 20 ft. If the space where the ducks would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn't enough space for the them, the figurine doesn't become a flock of ducks. After 6 hours have passed, the flock reverts to figurine form. The flock reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to quack the command again while touching it. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 5 days have passed.
The ducks are friendly to you and your companions. They can be used as mounts by Medium or smaller creatures to fly in V-formation. The ducks fight only to defend themselves. They understand your languages and obey your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the ducks defend themselves but take no other actions.

Jineer activates the Duck Dynasty and leaps astride the lead duck, then calls on her companions to join her in an aerial assault on the enemy vessel. (no takers?)
Jack shoots the fore cannon. One of the Strumpet's sails goes limp as a hole is blown through it. (32 damage to he sails. –10 ft. speed per 25 damage taken.)
The scurvy dogs are momentarily shocked when Zale arrives all alone in the middle of the Strumpet's deck. They recognize this person as the one who killed their captain. Yelling curses, half a dozen of them come at Zale with cutlasses and hooks! (9 slashing damage)
Zale's elemental slams its watery fists into the Strumpet's hull. The crew scrambles to plug the resulting leaks below deck. (Hull takes 20+16 damage)
