Tasya fires a bolt up at the guard who is trying to make his way across the rope. The bolt narrowly misses him as he swings to reposition his hand.
Taresh, looking like he was about to jump into the water after the creature, instead reacts to the harpoon hurled at him. After noting its trajectory, he closes his eyes and prepares to dodge it.
Mischa also closes her eyes and brings one hand to her temple. She then opens her eyes and looks up at the guard swinging across the rope. The guard lets out a painful scream as a sharp pain fills his head. Through the flash of pain, he does all he can to focus on keeping his grip on the rope.

Admiral slashes through the rope attached to the mast before he leaps down to the deck below, digging his claws into the mast to slow his fall. His claws leave long furrows in the polished wood. He lands lightly on the deck beside Tasya and whirls to face the Merrow, swords and teeth bared.
OOC:
I'm cutting the rope as an action, using cat's claws and feline agility to move 40ft down the mast and onto the deck, and then targeting the Merrow with Hexblade's curse as a bonus action. Also I think you maybe skipped Skeev in the initiative?Sep 19, 2023 4:29 am
OOC:
Oops. You're right. Thanks! I forgot to put Skeev on the list, therefore I skipped over him, which is funny because I did have an idea what he might attempt. Anyway we can fix that...Admiral's slash at the rope severs its connection to the ship mast and sends the guard hurling into the gorge wall. He hits it with a heavy thud accompanied by the the clank of his armor, still managing to hold on to the rope as he now hangs straight down from the sewer pipe.
Then, with his feline agility, Admiral swiftly gets down to the deck moving close enough to the Merrow to place a curse on it.
Petalwing chuckles on Tasya's shoulder, "Ha ha. Mad strong, strong can't come, come."
Briya follows Skeev's lead and takes control of another ballista, while the four remaining crew member back away from the edge of the deck.
The Merrow hisses as he prepares to pull his next prey (Taresh) into the water as soon as his harpoon lodges into his victim, but Taresh dodges the harpoon, which clanks on to the deck.
Two guards appear at the pipe opening. One begins to pull up the rope from which his comrade dangles below. The other loads and fires a crossbow toward the ship.

Tasya's bolt hits the gorge wall below the pipe opening, right next to the guard dangling from the rope.

Taresh leaps at the harpoon as it misses him. The merrow pulls on the harpoon's rope to reclaim his weapon, but Taresh thrusts his goblin staff in the harpoon's path and the retracting harpoon gets stuck when it catches the staff and wedges itself and the staff in the ship's rail.
...
Mischa raises her hand to her temple again and attempts to penetrate the mind of the guard with the crossbow. After a moment of intently trying, she lowers her hand; she cannot seem to penetrate his current focus.
...
Skeev fires a ballista projectile at the merrow. The heavy ammunition slams into the creature (for 14 damage) while it angrily pulls on its harpoon rope trying to--unsuccessfully--retrieve its weapon.

The Merrow is in the water, yes? Is Admiral able to attack it with a sword or is it too deep/too far from the edge of the boat? Sep 20, 2023 3:08 am
OOC:
Yes the merrow is in the water and out of range of a melee attack with a sword. The creature is 8 or 10 feet off the starboard side of the ship. Its head and torso are above water and from its waist down it is submerged. Sep 20, 2023 7:28 am
Admiral leaps aside as a crossbow bolt whizzes past him, badly grazing his shoulder. He hisses up at the guard who fired it at him, but maintains his focus on the Merrow. Once the fish is taken care of, the crew can get the ship moving again and they can leave the guards behind them. Unable to get at the monster with his swords, he fires another eldritch blast at it.

Admiral's blast causes the water around the merrow to crackle with energy, but when the energy dissipates the creature seems unaffected and still fiercely focussed on retrieving its wedged harpoon.
...
"Aww...miss, miss friend. I help." Petalwing says sypathetically to Tasya, still on her shoulder. Then the sprite chuckles and says mischievously, "I make mad strong, strong see mousy big, big." She then goes invisible and Tasya feels her hop off her shoulder.
...
Briya, at the ballista on the port side of the ship, quickly turns the loaded weapon upward as far as she can. She is only able to get a shot at the guard hanging on the rope. But the angle is not right and the shot falls short sending rubble flying from the the gorge wall. The rest of the crew remains noticeably scared and still unsure what to do.
...
The merrow is angered and gives his harpoon rope a hefty pull to try to dislodge it (which would most likely mean ripping apart the starboard rail it is wedged on.) Its rage grows as it still cannot seem to pull its weapon free.
...
One guard keeps pulling up the other on the rope. The whole time putrid waist water spills from the pipe. The hanging guard continues to be soaked by it. It makes the gorge wall slippery, and his feet slip every time he tries to use them to help his ascent. Meanwhile, the guard with the crossbow loads and takes aim at his last attacker, Tasya. His focus on his shot is interrupted by something and he yells to his comrade pulling the rope, "A giant rat!!"...the shot lets loose and flies completely off course thudding into the ship deck.

Admiral decides it’s time to go. "Hoist the sails! We’re getting out of here," he shouts to the frightened crew.
The Merrow’s harpoon is wedged in the railing thanks to Taresh and the creature itself is badly wounded thanks to Skeev, so Admiral does not think it poses much of a threat to the crew right now. Even so, he leaps up onto the starboard railing (a little to the left of where the harpoon is wedged) and hurls another eldritch blast at the creature.
"Over here, you ugly bastard!" he snarls, trying to distract the Merrow to keep it from picking off any more of his crew while they attend to the sails.

The crew is motivated by Admirals direction. They quell their individual fears and return to their stations intent on getting the ship moving.
As Admiral jumps onto the starboard rail, Taresh cuts the harpoon's rope with Skeev's dagger. When the rope is severed, the merrow jerks backward in the water. Admiral's taunt from the railing and his blast that charges the water near the creature makes the merrow realize he is sufficiently wounded and his prospect for more meat than the one crew member he pulled in earlier is lost. In disgust, he dives and disappears, giving up on his harpoon, which falls to the deck with a metallic thud.
...
When the crew raises the sails and the ship begins to lunge forward once again, Petalwing--who, in her invisible state, climbed the mast to get close enough--enjoys taunting the guard with an attack from the imaginary giant rat under her command. At the same time Mischa attempts to deliver the guard more psychic pain. The guard himself drops his crossbow at his side and draws his sword to attack the 'rat', ferociously attacking it...so intent on it, Mischa cannot penetrate his mind.
The other guard still is making progress pulling up the rope with the fallen one dangling from it.
