Once the group has caught up she begins to move toward the direction of the shark keeping an eye out for more threats or any evidence of what they're looking for.
Aloysia catches sight of the shark bumping its head against a door in the stern of the ship before turning around and heading straight for her!
Seeing the shark approaching Nicolai calls out "Aloysia, fall back. I don't want to catch you with any of my spells." So saying he prepares to cat a spell as soon as the shark is within range.
Aloysia follows Nicolai's intent and heads back to where he is and prepares to attack anything that gets close
Aloysia barely manages to swim backward. This causes the shark to rush forward to get her, allowing Nicolai to fire off a spell as it approaches.
The spray of color doesn't stop the shark's attack as it lunges at Aloysia.
Aloysia's surprise that Nicolai's spell didn't work is palpable as the shark rips into her leg. Her anatomy lessons let her know that it just missed an artery that would have bled her out in seconds. In the aft end of the ship the door opens revealing a horrifying green skinned woman with a shortspear.
Gamon, still peering down on the ship and his fellow explorers, swam towards Aloysia and the shark until he was nearly above them.
Despite feeling a surge of sympathetic pain from his spiritual bond with Aloysia, in his leg like hers, Jolon easily swims after the others.
When he sees the hag, he recognizes her from the vision Zellara gave him, and he glares at her.
"My blood ignites!" he says, though it's probably lost in the water. As the others are busy dealing with the shark and somewhat in the way, he instead turns to Aloysia and casts a healing spell on her.
You can hear the hag cackling underwater as she readies her short spear.
Nicolai begins casting a spell as he yells at the laughing woman "Hope you find this funny as well." "Fragor Fulgor." he says as a ball of light explodes in front of the woman.
Aloysia tries to return the pain back to the shark
Aloysia isn't used to movement underwater as the shark nimbly avoids the thrust of her daggers.
The sea hag screams and thrashes as the burst Nicolai places before her blinds her. She settles back and begins a chant, working toward some nefarious means.
With Aloysia's blood already in the water the shark continues its attack on her.
Greataxe in hand, Gamon lashes out with two mighty blows in an attempt to distract the shark from Aloysia.
8 damage
"She's summoning reinforcements." he tells the others. The beginning of a spell on his lips he warns the old hag "They'll be none of that."
Jolon grunts as he takes some of Aloysia's injuries himself, and he glowers a bit. As the others make their strikes, he tries to swim around them in the cramped confines of the wreck to get a clear shot at the shark.
Gamon's swipe, despite being slowed by the water, is still powerful and cuts through the shark's natural tough skin. Jolon is hampered by the unfamiliar terrain and environment.
Aloysia continues to try to carve up the shark
Nicolai shouts out as a bolt of lightning races from his outstretched hands toward Yvicca. He curses a string of profanities as the electricity washes over the hag but leaves her untouched "Beware, she's resistant to magic." he needlessly tells the others.
"Then swords will succeed where magic fails!" Jolon replies.
Aloysia can't quite get the hang of fighting underwater. She is used to being more nimble than her opponents, but the shark continues to dash back and forth. In pain from the wound in its side it bites at Gamon as the hag finishes her spell.
A partially rotting dolphin appears within thirty feet of her and begins swimming towards Nicolai as she shouts, "Get the dirty Varisian!" It swims underneath and past the rest of you and attempts to slam full force into Nicolai.
It hurtles past him and hits a bulkhead before re-orienting itself and facing the human once more. The sea hag begins chanting another spell, this time closing the wounds from her still steaming eyes. She sighs in relief as her vision begins returning to her.
Gamon lands another powerful blow against the shark as the water churns around them from the movement of the nearby dolphin.
7 damage
Gamon's axe nearly bisects the shark, leaving it twitching in the water.
Jolon begins swimming towards the hag, looking to hack at her with his sword!
Aloysia continues to try to fight off the shark attacking her
Aloysia's dagger digs into the shark's heart, causing the beast to twitch and swiftly expire from her precise strikes.
As Jolon gets closer to the Hag and takes in her full appearance he realizes just how horrific she really is. Skin sickly, warty, and rubbery. Bones just slightly out of proportion for humanoids. Eyes a milky white, but focused with killing intent. The strength in his arms wants to flee in the face of such horror.
Nicolai attempts to put some distance between himself and the dolphin and due to his unfamiliar surroundings he inadvertently leaves opens himself up to attack.
Unable to move away he concentrates on casting his spell so as to not further antagonize the creature.
Successful, he shouts as a wave of coruscating light washes over the creature.
The hag's horrific ugliness only adds to the righteous fury of Jolon and his ancestors as he closes the distance.
"FERIK NIKLIT FORENK SKOANS!" he cries as he swings his sword at her, the spirits echoing the words in harsh whispers.
The dolphin seems to dance in the light show streaming from Nicolai's fingers before throwing its body at him again.
It zooms past the varisian and explodes into bubbles upon connecting with the wall behind him.
The Sea Hag herself swims forward, casting a baleful eye at Jolon as the half orc swims out to meet her.
Gamon lashes out at the dolphin as it comes within axe range.
6 damage
11 damage
With the shark vanquished, Gamon swims in determined fashion towards the hag.
The hag's stare causes Jolon's forward momentum to falter, as his ancestors whisper curses and threats at her.
Aloysia starts her dog paddle toward the hag with Gamon
Nicolai shouts out as he finishes his spell. Bolstered by magic Aloysia, Gamon, and Jolon begin to move and swim faster.
Aloysia's lighter gear load lets her swim a bit further than Gamon and Jolon and brings the hag to line up with her first, swimming forward to stab with her spear.
Gamon follows Aloysia towards the hag, lashing out with his axe as soon as he comes within range.
9 damage
Jolon follows after the others and positions himself to strike at the hag.
