"I don't detect anything magical in the room."
"Now it's time to see if Lamm is below, let's finish this." Slumper moves towards the way deeper into the warhouse.
"Agreed" Brim follows Slumper keeping his senses sharp as they make their way downward.
Quickly you realize that there is no deeper in this warehouse; the only way to the lower level seems to be through the derelict barge docked out back. You head out a side door through the office and find yourself on a dicey looking pier that heads toward the boat, which seems not to float so much as sit upon several thick poles sunk into the water below.
A slippery boardwalk clings to the side of the fishery, held together by barnacle-thick pilings that have been worn halfway through their thickness at the waterline. As you step onto it, it creaks loudly and sways slightly. You're not certain how much weight it will hold. It's a good 60 feet until you reach the safety of the barge, which bears the faded name 'Kraken's Folly'.
"Eh.... I suggest we take turns crossing here unless anyone would like to swim with that jigsaw shark below. I'll test it out first" Brim uses agile feet to get across.
"Hmm this doesn't look good, but I have an idea."
Slumper goes back into the warehouse. You hear a few thumps from inside. He's gone for only a moment before walking back out carrying the human, orc, and gnome heads.
With a sheepish smile Slumper addresses the group. "Normally this is beyond even what I would be willing to do but I will have my revenge on Lamm"
"I'll go last, if anyone has any problems I'll throw the heads into the water away from the boardwalk to hopefully draw the shark."
Pax shudders and agrees with the plan.
Brim dances across the slick surface, his feet supernaturally fleet and agile. Emerging onto the deck of the barge, he finds that the rotten deck of the this ancient barge seems to be barely intact, its hull worn and thick with seaweed and barnacles. The barge is held together primarily by the layers of old rope that lash it securely to the pilings that support the fishery and the nearby boardwalk. A single wooden door leading into the aft cabin bears a crude painting of a red fish on its surface.
Thrak will go then I will follow once he is across.
I smile at Slumper's surprising efficiency and after the summomer I will carefully cross to the barge.
Paxs, make an Acrobatics check for me.
With a loud "Oof!" and a subsequent splash, Paxs slips over the side and into the water. The shark, sensing motion in the water, heads over to investigate.
Slumper throws the gnome head behind the shark hoping to draw his attention
Seeing a choice between splashing and blood in the water, the shark heads toward the heads, giving you a few moments to retrieve the summoner.
Slumper makes a rope throwing motion to Brim while getting his ready from his pack just in case.
I'll grab the end of the rope, to assist Slumper in getting Paxs out of the water.
Brim tosses a rope hoping to retrieve Paxs before the shark goes for seconds.
Slumper gestures at Brim, and Brim responds, throwing a rope to the summoner and hauling him aboard the barge, which creaks menacingly under their combined weight.
Slumper shakily makes it to the other side letting out an audible sigh of relief.
Brim takes a look around to see if the creaking is attracting unwanted attention.
Slumper crosses, moving steadily and manages to avoid going for a swim.

acrobatics
Corbyn manages to make the slippery crossing look easy, joining the others on the deck of the barge. Only Jeb remains.
acrobatics
aw Hades . . and I float like a brick . .
Brim tosses the rope out again trying to hide his laughter but not doing a good job at it. "Throw another head out there!"
Jeb steps onto the pier and for a moment, feels pretty good about it. Then his foot hits a slick spot and off he goes! falling over the side in time to see a sleek black form slide past him...
A rope hits the water above him, and Jeb's hands grasp at it, but the form slides past him in the water, hitting him lightly with its tail as it goes.
"Punch him in the nose if he gets too close to ya, Jeb!"
Slumped throws a rope to Jeb trying to pull him in.
son of a . . . Yer mudders a barnacle !!
Jeb gets a good glimpse at the shark as it glides closer to him. Jagged markings decorate the body of this human-sized shark. A multitude of stains on its large teeth tell of the frequency and ferocity with which it uses its bite. It slips by him and then suddenly doubles back to strike!
Fortunately it catches on Jeb's clothing, tearing a chunk from them, but not reaching flesh!
Two people splashing and everyone yelling has my caution up.

Climb:
With Slumper's help, Jeb climbs out of the water onto the deck of the barge, gasping and just ahead of the shark, who launches itself out of the water to snap jaws shut on air.
Corbyn's paranoia leads him to pad a little closer to the door of the barge, which may prove particularly fortunate...
As the rest of the party hauls Jeb up, the barge gives one final tortured creak as the deck collapses under the combined weight of Slumper, Jeb, Brim, Paxs and Thrak.
The excitement of the moment was intense. Laughter turned to fear then things turned worse as the deck gave in to the combined weight of Brim and his companions. Brim tried his best to fall with grace.
Cayden's Crumpet !! Aiigh !!

Slumper falls into a heep with the majority of his companions.
Brim will channel healing for hp gained for companions within 30 feet of Brim.
With a series of crashes and yells, the band falls through the floor, all save Thrak and Corbyn, who look helplessly on as the four fall. Still lying prone, Brim channels his god's might to heal his friends. Dark and dank, the ship’s hold smells of mildew. Several barrels, crates, and other containers lie stacked here and there, and a shallow layer of river water has collected in puddles. A soft scratching sound comes from behind a few of the crates. In the sudden light caused by the collapsed hold, you can see five cat-sized spiders, hunting spiders by their look, appear in the light around you. Chittering loudly, they move to attack!
