Alin drops the Coral Smasher in front of him.

Two of the sahuagin holding the ballista point it at the cluster of crewmen and sahuagin and fire, and then they drop it and dive into the water. They hit their target, the mast, and Crewman 2 and Sahuagin C-C1 take the brunt of the splintered shaft of the bolt from the ballista, and both drop from their wounds.

The mast has a large divot out of the side of it, but otherwise seems okay in the short-term. It is swaying from the impact of the weapon.

The coral smasher in the front of the ship yells, "SSSssslashefantOOOO, ssskkelkaten'KAT!!!" He then jumps into the water.

OOC:
Great job, you are out of initiative.

The captain yells, "Medics, crewmen below, come topside and help our friends who are hurt!"

He pulls out some kind of device in his pocket, taps it, holding it with the hand of his oozing arm, and the ship starts to turn away from the upcoming island, and submerges into the water.
OOC:
You are now officially in a submarine-like ship, headed through Shargon's Teeth.
The conscious crew look for those of their comrades that may still be alive but unconscious, and also look for possibly alive but unconscious sahuagin who may be able to be interrogated for answers.
OOC:
What do each of you do as the crew try to heal and search for survivors?

Kevin takes some leaves from a pocket and starts to thew them. He kneels down to a serously injured crewman , spits out the green mush and infuse it with magic. The green mush is consumed in a green light that enteres the crewman healing him.

The one crewman's wounds get stitched together, and he opens his eyes, and euphoria and gratitude fill his eyes with tears as he grasps Kevin by whatever he can and says, "Thank you! Thank YOU!"
OOC:
Anything else?

OOC:
Apparently the crewman are not panicked by being underwater?
Alin looks nervously at the bubble keeping the ship safe under the ocean and walks up to the captain. Alin says aloud

"I am certain that they will return, Capitan. One of the those trying to take you told me that you had stolen their technology, and frankly I believed what was said. How you deal with these people of the sea is none of my business, until it gets me or one of my friends killed, then it becomes very personal. Our agreement with you did not involve such secrets and dangers, and under other circumstances, what I feel you have done to us would swiftly earn you a visit to the Keeper."

Seraphina is happy to put her weapons away. Her heart is still beating so fast, and now there's time to think the fear is much worse even though the danger is gone. She has to double check her body to be sure she didn't get hurt. As tears start filling her eyes she starts having serious doubts about whether she's cut out for this adventure. So, she decides the best thing is to stay busy so her mind doesn't have time to think. She teams up with any medics and helps to bandage wounds.

It doesn't even really occur to her yet to wonder about the strange struts that rose out of the sides of the ship.

"Swimming without getting wet," Ghillie Dhu said as he became a dry submariner. He made his way to the captain, and offered to look at his injured arm before healing him.

Kevin is himself badly hurt but takes a seat next to his iron defender. From his seat next, he studies the new wall that keeps the water away.
This is a design I have never seen before in the 5 nations. It's not of the great houses is it? No, none of the houses does underwater travel. Where did it come from?

From them?

Alin stares at the Capitan, "You must get us to our destination and away from your foolishness, now."

Lets just get on with it without provoking more attacks from the original owners. Kevin is forming his own conclutions that this ship techology have been stolen from the sahuagin and it have pissed them off.

"I am sorry that you had to deal with that...unpleasantness. Since you have shared your aid to me and my people, I must share some details honestly with you all.

"I will call for you all later to share my secrets with you."

After some time and cleanup, the crew calms down, letting the engine take them closer to their destination.

Later, Captain calls for you all, and leads you down to his cabin, and he shuts the door. He then says, "Thank you, again, for your aid up there. I have not been honest with you all."

He takes off his shirt, and you see gills along his chest.

He says, "I am malenti, though shortly after my metamorphosis, I felt...emotion...for the life I consumed. I left the designs of my masters of the sahuagin, and took on the fellow's ship. I made these adjustments myself, do you like? Perhaps the engineer would like a closer look at my design."

Dhu nodded at the man's words while inspecting the odd physiology closer.

"I suspected some kind of hybridization after examining your arm. Your body is impressive, as is your diving ship. Also impressive is kidnapping us and assuming we won't finish the job your pure strain cousins started. Return us immediately to the surface and take us directly to Stormreach."

Alin listens intently, their fingers moving as if grasping and releasing an invisible dagger. "We were mind connected briefly Viktor, or whatever you name is, there is no use in trying to lie to us…. Actually, regardless of your story or your crimes, we insist you deliver us to our destination as we have obligations to meet"

I do have some thoughts about your design. Specially on the transition from above to below the surface. Some I would share were we not your prisoners.
Your history with these sahuagin is none of my business. More importantly, you transporting us to our destination, in the agreed fashion, IS our business.
Nov 18, 2021 8:39 am
"Yes, of course, you are all correct. We are headed to Stormreach still. You are no prisoners of mine; I fully intend on delivering you as agreed upon. It is safest for us in Shargon’s Teeth to remain below surface, as they will not be expecting it of a ship as large as ours.

"In truth, I saw the signs that sahuagin were following our ship, and I panicked, and decided that they wouldn’t be ready for underwater escapades with such a large ship. I apologize for startling you."

Glad to hear it.
From the gigantic warforged we know that movement .... tech speak ... Using a similar design, you could optimize the transformation.
I am curious one how you navigate underwater. By sight or by ekko location?
