From above the waves, Abby and Lili'fey would see Taizee's shiny lure flicker and dim, and a large cloud of blood spread out from the mermaid's chest-wound as well as mouth as she reeled back after that vital strike. Yet, even as she steadily grew more pale than she already normally was, what other option did Tai really have other than continue to fight? Without feet, she'd use way to long trying to climb back up into the ship! At least here under water, she didn't need to hold back her tears...<br/><br/>And so with a frightened panic, the mermaid retaliated without even thinking any more of it, first bashing her tail up into the already wounded sharkperson's chest, likely sending him flying up above the waves and finishing them off, though sadly 15 feet away from the ship so it wouldn't be very easy for Lili'fey to catch them. Tai had of course not even registered that request in the middle of this frantic fight, being way too busy and fully submerged while she fought. Returning the favor to the sahuagin closest to the ship, Tai proceeded to drive her sword into it's gut, running them through with it, but possibly not nicking any vital organs or arteries.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Mechanics:<br/><br/>Tail Slap Attack roll against the uppermost, wounded Sahuagin: 18: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://orokos.com/roll/738971">https://orokos.com/roll/738971</a><!-- m --><br/>Tail Slap Damage roll against the same one: 6: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://orokos.com/roll/738972">https://orokos.com/roll/738972</a><!-- m --><br/><br/>Greatsword Attack roll against the Sahuagin that pierced Tai: 20: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://orokos.com/roll/738973">https://orokos.com/roll/738973</a><!-- m --><br/>Greatsword Damage roll against the same one: 13: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://orokos.com/roll/738974">https://orokos.com/roll/738974</a><!-- m --><br/><br/>OOC: Hey, that's how the dice fall sometimes, and it at least makes the combat real tense for the mer, if nothing else! Also shout-out to the Pala-taur! Without that 6 healing Taizee would be unconscious! Edit: Forgot to add the +1 from our bard to my damage rolls as well, so that should put the total damage taken on the starboard side to 16 and 13, not 14 and 12 (since I also forgot to add it last round)</div></div></div>
