Brethren of Grath - Gameplay

ROUND 4:

Raakz (20/20 , waterwalk): "Abjurations." Raakz scoffs. "Yeah, good job, Earl." Changing the damage type of his arcane weapon to lightning, he moves north to the steps of the ship leading to the captain's deck, and fires at Merrow #5. The bolt lands in the Merrow's flesh causing 4 piercing and 6 lighting damage, for a total of 10 damage.

Zylo (31/35, Blessed, waterwalk): Zylo moves himself closer to his comrades waiting for the monsters to storm the ship.

Gordy (16/16, waterwalk): "Oh Geez, Raakz! I don't know what to do!" Gordy squeaked, dashing up onto the captain's deck to hide behind the mast near the captain. (He readies an attack on any Merrow who jumps on deck.)

Aerl: "What are you doing?!" He says as he casts Fireball into the water, missing the Merrows. "You can walk on water for an hour!"

Merrow 2 (42 damage, prone): Appears on the other side of the ship and hurls a harpoon at Raakz, but misses.

Merrow 4 (8 damage): Launches a harpoon at Zylo, but misses. It submerges into the water.

Merrow 5, (10 damage): Also throws a harpoon, this time targeting Ragnar which sinks into the barbarian's shoulder causing 11 damage. The harpoon is tugged back toward the Merrow, trying to drag Ragnar, but the barbarian is too strong, and hold his ground.

Ragnar (11/22, Blessed, waterwalk): Ragnar screams in both joy and frustration, pulls out a Javelin and hurls it at the submerged head of the 4th Merrow and surprisingly hits it's mark and causes 8 damage! Then Ragnar runs towards the fishy monster, but it has disappeared under the water.

Ordrak (15/23, Blessed, Shield of Faith +2 AC, waterwalk): I move to and 'Lay on Hands' to Zylo for the full 10 HP pool. Zylo is healed for 10 HP

Geliah (19/19, waterwalk): Geliah, tired of not landing a hit with her crossbow, runs to the other side of the ship and leaps off the side and transforms into a wolf using her wildshape ability mid-air! She bites Merrow 2 and deals 4 damage and causing the creature to tumble off balance in the water (prone condition). Geliah lands on the water gently after her attack.

Merrow 3 (43 damage, Dead): Dead as fuck

Merrow 1: (49 damage, Dead) Dead as fuck

Aerl: Yells at the captain, "We need to get out of here!" and casts Waterwalk on the entire party. "You all do not have to worry about falling into the water. "Kill these abjurations!"

"Abjurations." Raakz scoffs. "Yeah, good job, Earl." Changing the damage type of his arcane weapon to lightning, he moves north to the steps of the ship leading to the captain's deck, and fires at Merrow #5.

"Oh Geez, Raakz! I don't know what to do!" Gordy squeaked, dashing up onto the captain's deck to hide behind the mast near the captain. (He readies an attack on any Merrow who jumps on deck.)

Ragnar screams in both joy and frustration, pulls out a Javelin and hurls it at the head of the 4th Merrow then running towards it.

I move to and 'Lay on Hands' to Zylo for the full 10 HP pool I have at Lvl 2.

Raakz (20/20 , waterwalk): "Yeah, yeah, that's real good. Jump off the fucking ship. Smart!" Raakz fires another arcane bolt, this time at the preposterously water-prone mermonster. The mermonster in question is hit and shocked to death and fried nicely from the lightning damage, maybe a yummy snack after all this is over with.

Ragnar (11/22, Blessed, waterwalk): Ragnar hops back to the ship realizing the creature has submerged itself, not wanting to get attacked from underneath.

The Merrow lets out a howl in it's evil language.

Aerl: Moves to the west side of the ship. "Pick on someone your own size!" He shouts as he casts Reduce on Merrow 5. The fish monster suddenly shrinks to a size Medium! "That will show you!"

Merrow 2 (DEAD AF):

Merrow 4 (14 damage): Merrow 4 reemerges from the water, seeing as it has prey within it's grasp. Its thrusts it's harpoon at Zylo, missing the Wolfboi. It follows up with a slash from it's claws on Ordrak, catching the Dragonborn in the face, causing 7 damage!

Merrow 5, (15 damage, Reduced): The newly medium sized monster shows it's frustration by attacking Geliah! It thrusts it's small harpoon at her, it digs into her wolf flesh for 10 damage! The Merrow follows up with a bite on the druid, but Geliah is too quick and dodges the attack.

As Gordy clambers back onboard, Raakz busies himself gathering up the harpoons of the dead, and whatever icky funky things that might prove useful.

"Wooo-wee!" Gordy exclaims. "Now th-that was was pretty crazy, huh, guys? Everybody okay?"

Gordy finds 2 harpoons, but they are larger than he can carry. Each of the merrows onboard can be harvested for 200 lbs of fish meat.

Can Raakz drag them for storage and use later?

Ord walks back onto the deck of the ship and seems that his entire body lets out a huge exhale as his stance relaxes immensely.

"Phew. Finally." Ord mutters lowly.

As the party gets back on the ship, they get back on course. The rest of the ride to Grathport is uneventful, save for the Captain drinking too much and slurring insults at everyone for no reason.

As the voyage nears Grathport, you see a grand city with a large port. "Welcome to Grathport, friends." Aerl says as the ship docks. "Largest port on the island. And hopefully where we will find some answers."

(Yall can post shenanigans you did on the ship ride after the Merrow Attack)
