"OK!" She grabs her staff and an orb that twinkles like the night sky. "This ritual takes some time.. No laughing..." She starts dancing around the group as she does the tattoos on her skin start to glow a bit brighter. She just hops around waving her orb and wand around all the while chanting:
"Tenebris sub aquis, congregamus hic,
Potestatem quaerere, metum nostrum sedare.
Benedictione aquae et gratia oceani,
Nobis dona huius spatii aquosi."
"Amplexus aquae, animas nostras jungimus,
In profundo spiramus, per ritum divinum.""
She keeps this up for about 10 mins until the magic trickles down like falling starts on the group. Glowing temporary tattoos appear on everyone's neck that resemble gills.

Just want to let you know am still waiting for players to either agree to move story to next morning or interact with the NPC. Only have one player voted to move

Glow-gilled Seelah examines the ship’s weapons. Perhaps side-stepping constructs, stopping only to grab and enjoy a tasty piece of fruit!
Interesting ship, and weapons! I’m more apt for melee combat, so maybe I can man the guns until foes get close. These weapons are a bit better than any ranged attacks I can personally offer.

Can we just assume she cast Water Breathing every morning on the party. Last 24hrs takes 10min to cast.

Digging into another pastry, Paetina pipes in "Maybe not a demon, but there are tons of planes each with their own native beings. Outsiders are capable of staying on most planes." with a mouth full of snacks preventing her from making her words clear.

OOC:
Absolutely, let's assume everyone have Water Breathing all the timeYou each sleep in your own private room. Ship appears to have exactly 6 of them. In the morning you meet each other and
Bajaz who looks no more like a butcher. More appropriate for a sea voyage.
I believe we are still safe today. But need to organize watch next night. If that demon is flying it would makes sense for min to attack during the night to avoid Mangonel fire
After half day of a travel you notice a that you can't see birds any more. No fish in the water. Bajaz - worried about phenomena - excuse himself "to consult with his patron" and leaves into captain's cabin, closing the doors.
After another half hour you finally notice a movement in the water - some creatures are still alive there! The next moment two huge sea serpents attack your ship instantly breaking it's mast and lifeboats
The Gargantuan creatures seems like talking to each other, while watching you on the deck as if choosing a victim. You are quite small for and they don't seem afraid of you in any way.
OOC:
I found languages stated in some charsheets, but not everyone, so please let me know if anyone speak Dracinic as this is the language creatures are talking to each other right now, probably you would know what they are talking.Please everyone describe their immediate actions, if the action you want to perform is an offensive action I will roll initiative for everyone and move you to a combat thread, but we are not in combat yet.

Walking into the middle of the deck Atlas first looks the broken mast. She looks around and call out to the others "Is that supposed to be like that?"
Looking out into the water she finally notices the two large sea snakes. She yells out "Ooo Myyy God!!!" She starts jumping up and down and waves at the creatures. Yelling much too loudly and waving her arms she calls out to them in Common "HELLO!!! You two look Amazing!!! Can we Get a Ride!?!?!? I Think Something Broke Our Boat!!!"

Kenjidor walked to the edge to look at what’s causing the commotion. "That looks rather intimidating. Sounds like they’re speaking. Anyone speak their language?"

Seelah bows her head in brief prayer.
Guard us in faith, Watchful One, she says simply, but reverently. Within six seconds, a figure stands tall and spiritual five feet away from our paladin. Bearing sword and shield, assuming form emblazoned with indescribable holy power.

A short halfling with icing covering her face steps onto the deck to see a giant snake. "OH COOL!!" she yells, rushing to the side of the vessel the serpent is on, "I've never seen one of those before. What is it called? If we catch it, can we keep it?" The excitement ended a moment later as Paetina scratched her chin "How can we get it through customs?"
She looks at the serpent and shouts "You know it is Ruuuuuuude to talk in a foreign language when there are others around that don't know that language? Please use the trade tongue so we can all hear."

@Sarge1967 Paetina Cherry-Cheeks scored 13 on charsima check, please decide and let me know before my next post if you want to use Peerless Skill to improve that. Rules say you must decide "before the GM tells you whether you succeed or fail" so I'm not yet telling that

Atlas jumps up and down excitedly. "Ohh!! You can talk... She waits for the Creatures to talk somemore. It is ok. I understand talking is hard...
Oct 22, 2023 9:57 pm
Kenjidor listened to the conversation the creatures were having with his companions, pondering over their situation. "Seelah, perhaps you can ascertain some sense of their intentions? Are they evil?"
He casts another spell before speaking to the creatures in common, as the others were doing. "Greetings, fair creatures. We're simply passing by, and it seems our mast has broken. We may be susceptible to danger. Are we in dangerous waters?"
Cast.

Meanwhile his familiar hovers out of sight, slipping beneath the waves as it changes into a toad and swims around the boat, keeping an eye on it from below. Starting invisible the entire time.

Since the sea dragons are talking Pin activates a psionic spell 2 sorcerery points no spell components to try and senses the reason for the attack and their reactions to the parties questions. He then relays the information to Kenjidor telepathically.
[ +- ] Detect Thoughts
Detect Thoughts
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a copper piece)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak any language, the creature is unaffected.
You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature—what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature’s mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that loom s large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends.
Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation.
You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language.
Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can’t see it, but it must still be within range.

[ +- ] Telepathic Speech
Starting at 1st level, you can form a telepathic connection between your mind and the mind of another. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You and the chosen creature can speak telepathically with each other while the two of you are within a number of miles of each other equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 mile). To understand each other, you each must speak mentally in a language the other knows.
The telepathic connection lasts for a number of minutes equal to your sorcerer level. It ends early if you are incapacitated or die or if you use this ability to form a connection with a different creature.
