Luckily the crew had enough time to react to the surprise attack to prevent a disastrous ambush. The druidess' moonbeam singed the slimy, scale skin of the horrid creatures that recoiled in anger and disgust even from the dim light. Their third in number, outside the pale light that made his brothers flesh bubble stared for a moment then fell limp on the deck, completely unconscious and seemingly asleep.<br/>When the captain fired a crossbow bolt, it went a bit to the side, and couldn't hit the flailing and screaming fishman raider. As she moved to engage the closest one, the lightbearer joined her at her side and struck the creature with his radiant blade, drawing another pained hiss from the monster.<br/><br/>In return, the one further away from them that wasn't in melee yet, threw his spear at the woman who called the despicable light that burned them, but the weapon went off to the side and avoided her. With an angry hiss, the creature re-positioned itself so it wasn't in the illuminated area.<br/>The one engaged with the armored warriors tried to stab Norton with its spear in retaliation, sinking the spearhead under his shoulder plate and causing a light injury to his shield arm. Then, it tries to leap at him and go for his throat with its slimy, razor-sharp teeth, but the blow from the magic sword seemed to disorient it just enough so it didn't have the momentum it needed and allowed the paladin to avoid the attack.<br/><br/>The sailors fight the remaining sauhagin, working together to engage them better, though there are injuries on both sides, as two of the men also take a spear thrust to their sides, but the crew manages to wound the three sahuagin in return.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Enemy turn</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sleep affects one sahuagin, the other two take damage from moonbeam (4 and 2 respectively). The one further away tries to chuck its spear to disrupt the druid from concentrating on the spell but fails, so it moves into melee and out of moonbeam's area, engaging Alyssa in melee (though weaponless). The other one already in melee with the fighters almost crits Norton, but luckily does only 5 damage instead, and misses its bite attack against him. What you seem to realize from this is that the sahuagin are sort of blood crazed, now that Norton is wounded. In fact, they have advantage against targets who are not at full hit points, so a bloody creature will likely draw the attention of the beasts.</div></div>
