Erden struggles for just a moment, torn between helping his friend and saving the boat. Trusting in Baracus, Erden dives over to the boat and secures it, tying it to anything that he can find.
Episode 2: Welcome to the Jungle!

Erden is able to secure the boat by tying the line to one of the bamboo trees. The wind is starting to pick up, bearing a strong scent of rain and setting the bamboo a-creaking.
OOC:
Ybus is up.
Aug 3, 2018 4:56 pm
Ybus scrunches his nose in confusion, wondering why Baracus has opted to play with the fish and why he can't join in the fun. As the helicoprion swims away, Ybus thrusts his spear out to try and harpoon the creature.
If the spear does not hit, I'll take a different action.
OOC:
I'd like to try something here. If the OA spear hits, can I leave it in and hold onto the spear and ride the fish as it swims? I assume it'll be like a grapple so I'll include an Athletics roll.If the spear does not hit, I'll take a different action.

"Och, he'p ma bob!" Ybus bubbles underwater. "Ahab it!" He streamlines his body and kicks his legs, dashing towards the fleeing fish. As he closes, he bathes the form of Baracus in a warm yellow light, not unlike the sensation of someone relieving themselves underwater.

Baracus's eye twitches as the helicoprion pulls him along. He tries to roar:
"I PITTY THE FOOL THAT MISTAKES BARACUS FOR FOOD!"
But instead it comes out as bubbling nonsense as he flails in the water for the fish.
No more Mr. Nice Halforc.
Using open hand technique: if I hit the first flurry, I'll attempt to push the fish 15 feet (str save DC 12) toward the shore and then swim toward it for the next attack. If I hit the second time, I'll attempt again again to push it 15 feet (str save again) toward the shore and move as much as I can toward it. I am assuming I am in difficult terrain and only have 40/2=20 feet of movement to work with.(Oops forgot to add mod in first sword attack, added it in above summary)

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate your enemy’s ki when you harness your own. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:
It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked Prone.
It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
It can’t take reactions until the end of your next turn.

Baracus beats the helicoprion back with such ferocity it breaks the monster's grip on the half-orc.(20 damage) Enraged, the creature lashes out at Baracus anew. The helicoprion wraps the half-orc in its crushing grip and dives! The rapid descent makes Baracus' ears pop and the sounds of the surface fade away as he and his foe are enveloped in the murk. Ybus can just barely make out the battling pair in the gloom. He knows that if the monster dives any deeper he will lose sight of them entirely!
On the surface the thunderstorm descends on the river in full force. The trees sway violently in the gale and the boat bobs crazily in the water. Erden knows he needs to help his friends somehow so they can shelter.
• Baracus takes 9 piercing damage and is Grappled again, 40ft deep. Escape DC 12.
• Ybus and Erden are up.

Baracus is none to pleased with his situation. Getting pulled under was bad enough but getting Ybus's fingers up his nose was worse! When he realizes what Ybus poured down his throat (on account of his lungs working again) he declares:
"Too clever by far!"
He cracks his knuckles. Now was the time to finish this.

Erden ducks his head underwater but sees no sign of the monster or his friends. He can only hope that Ybus and Baracus have not ended up as fish-food. Up on the surface, with the downpour, the visibility isn't great either except when the lightning flashes. And with the din of the storm calling out would be pointless.
Lightning flashes again, and out of the corner of his eye Erden thinks he saw a figure further up the bank, watching him. But when he looks again there's nothing there.
Baracus can go for Round 6.

The monster fish convulses and dies skewered on the First Sword. It appears that Baracus and Ybus can now swim to the surface unchallenged. You know that with so much blood in the water it won't be long until other hungry predators show up. What do you do?
Aug 5, 2018 1:56 pm
Baracus will swim to the surface with the body of the fish in tow and head for the gap in the trees in the western shore. When he gets there he will plunk down the fish's body and announce:
"Anyone hungry?"
He brandishes the first sword like a filet knife.

You are now in a tiny hollow in the trees, with barely enough room with everyone huddled together. There isn't even a spot to plunk a trout down on the muddy ground, let alone the 15-foot helicoprion. You realize that to get a proper camp going you'll need to move inland. And unless you widen the gap to beach the boat you'll have to leave the vessel and trust that the mooring line will hold against the now raging current. As you discuss this there's a loud thud as a floating branch as thick as Baracus' arm smashes against the boat. Luckily it was a glancing hit. If it had been head on or if it had been a bigger piece of debris the boat could've been damaged or lost.
