Chumtooth rends his foe, adding to the ichor and blood-filled water. The lifeless body sinks quickly to the bottom, where small fish dart in and out, snagging gibbets of flesh. Kaede and Dantes stand ready, but stay clear of the melee. Alexander moves to help Faengrim and pierces the enemy deeply, but it remains in the fight.
Faengrim quickly finishes off the wounded fishman even as Janus sends a bolt through the water to hit the most menacing-looking of those remaining. The bolt explodes, sending the sahuagin reeling, but still very much alive.
The remaining sahuagin scatter to the currents, except the one that Janus hit, which surges forward to attack Faengrim. The attack misses as Faengrim twists to avoid the trident.
Janus will ready another bolt, but trust his shipmates to take down the last threat.
Chumtooth moves to retrieve his harpoon, giving Faengrim the honor of slaying his sworn enemy without assistance.
He looks around to see if he can determine which direction the remaining sahuagin fled.
"Arrgh!"

Chumtooth moves the North curtain aside with the point of his harpoon, ready to stab anything waiting on the other side of it.
"Phaw, ngoikore!" Chumtooth spits as he lets the curtain fall. He moves towards the open corridor to the Northwest.
Alexander will follow, keeping his eyes open.
Continues to follow along, crossbow ever ready.
Chumtooth turns to the others and says, "Let us see where this goes." He moves cautiously into the passage, harpoon at the ready.
Faengrim goes with his captain.
Chumtooth keeps his harpoon at the ready, prepared to spear anything that might be lurking inside.
Faengrim goes into the chamber.
Janus pulls a bolt and swims in to position behind Faengrim, prepared to fire a deadly bolt as soon as he can.
Chumtooth moves into the gap beside Faengrim and thrusts his harpoon at the massive shark.
Faengrim backpaddles and uses his natural connection with sharks to befriend the giant shark.
Charm Animal (aquatic only) DC 12
Dantes watches on while Faengrim tries to bond with his distant cousin.

Alexander, upon hearing Faengrim's plan, delays. Chumtooth slams his harpoon into the shark's side, drawing gouts of blood.
(+5 because Chumtooth wounded it, though, with that roll, it wouldn't have mattered)
Faengrim reaches out his hand but withdraws it quickly when the shark snaps at him. The shark narrowly misses taking a few fingers.
Chumtooth lunges at the shark with his harpoon again.
Faengrim tried to do this the nice way.

Alexander pokes at the shark.

The shark is quickly dispatched by the hail of attacks. In the room beyond, you can see a massive, four-armed sahuagin and two fearsome-looking females covered in vile tattoos. The male seems infuriated that you have killed his pet!

Chumtooth moves to engage the approaching female, lunging with his harpoon at her.
Janus swims forward with the group and takes a potshot at the big guy in the back.
Faengrim charges at the closest sahuagin.

Janus hurls his bomb at the big male, but the blast falls short. Chumtooth and Faengrim make short work of the female that came forward. The other female snarls and charges at Janus! She slashes with her claws, but her hasty attack misses. The big fellow moves in, provoking an attack of opportunity from Janus (if he has a melee weapon handy) and attacks Faengrim with his trident! The blow is a savage one, very nearly impaling the shark-kin, and Faengrim feels the flesh around the wound starting to calcify and turn to coral!
Chumtooth lunges with his harpoon at the large sahaugin.
He also bites at the creature with his teeth.
Janus swims back in response to the new threat and downs a potion with some difficulty.
Faengrim is shocked and amazed by the ferocity of sahaugin's attack. He returns that ferocity with his own.

Seeing how vicious this particular sahaugin is, Dantes bolsters his captain's defensive with a touch.

Janus downs a potion and disappears from sight. Chumtooth slashes and bites, though only the slash draws blood from the vicious fish-man. The bite does not penetrate the creature's scaly hide. Dantes taps him on the shoulder, and Chumtooth feels his skin harden slightly. Ignoring the hardening of his own joints, Faengrim slashes at the giant sahuagin, adding to the wound inflicted by Chumtooth! As with Chumtooth, only his first attack gets past the creature's hide.
The female bites and slashes at Faengrim, since she can no longer see Janus. Neither of her attacks connects.
The giant turns its attention to Chumtooth and slashes at the captain with its trident and bites in return. The trident bites deeply, inflicting a grievous wound! Chumtooth feels his flesh begin to calcify. The creature then turns its attention to Faengrim, slashing again with the weapon and raking with its two free hands. One set of claws manages to connect, and Faengrim winces in pain.
Faengrim keeps attacking the large sahuagin.

Chumtooth snarls as he feels as if he is suddenly trying to move through thick mud, instead of water.
He lashes out at the big sahaugin with his harpoon, still trying to kill it.
Seeing the nasty effects that the sahaugin are having on the officers, Dantes tries to slow them down. He casts a spell that sparkles as it streams past the crew and streams past the sahaugin before exploding behind them and coating them in the enchantment.
Janus floats a bit farther back, firing a single crossbow bolt with its attached bomb at their giant foe and breaking his invisibility.
Alexander will start up an upbeat sea shanty involving different ways to eat fish.

Alexander begins a sea-shanty to encourage his companions. Janus fires at the big sahuagin, the bomb exploding as it contacts the creature's toughened flesh (thrown splash weapons are a touch attack). The explosion injures both and enrages the sahuagin, but both survive the attack. Chumtooth stabs at the larger fish-man, but cannot get past its natural armor still. Dantes blasts the sahuagin with glitterdust, resulting in the female being blinded! Faengrim attacks the big one, but his attacks, too, are turned away by the creature's armor!
The big male goes into a battle frenzy and stabs at Chumtooth and Faengrim with its trident, dividing its attacks between them. It also bites at Chumtooth and slashes with its remaining two arms at Faengrim. Chumtooth is bitten once. Faengrim is slashed three times! The female comes forward and flails at Janus, managing to claw him once.

Janus floats back 5' trying to stay out of the females claws. He fires a bolt into the creature trying to take her out.
Faengrim growls and redoubles his attack.

Alexander keeps up his shanty before moving to aid those battling the large fishman. He tries to help surround their foe before striking out with his blade

Alexander finds a place to slip into the melee and attempts to hit the male, but his blade is turned aside by the creature's natural armor. Janus backpedals and fires at the female, the shot going wide and narrowly missing the bigger creature. Chumtooth strikes at the big male but misses. Faengrim redoubles his attack, but cannot seem to hit the male sahuagin either!
The male retaliates, stabbing at Chumtooth with the trident and connecting! Chumtooth feels his muscles calcifying again. It follows up with a savage bite, tearing at Chumtooth's flesh! With blinding speed, it turns and follows through with a stab and two slashes at Faengrim! The trident again bites into flesh, and one of the claw attacks gets through.
The female, denied her initial prey, takes her anger out on Alexander, biting and tearing at him!
(no save necessary)
Chumtooth strikes with his harpoon again.
Unaffected by the calcifying power, he bites at the large sahaugin, also.
Alexander lets out a "tch" as his blade doesn't penetrate he takes a small step back and weaves in some a bit of magic. Suddenly a cloud of sticky golden glitter bursts around the two enemies.
