Some of the grindylows are on their way to to stab the intruders - who intrude from the wrong side.

Grindylow Attack Jarrus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Grindylow Attack Noonan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Grindylow Attack Estelle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Trytton will continue his tactic of throwing blasts of water.
Attack : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage : 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 6) + 8 = 19

Trytton disintegrates a grindylow with his water blast.

And now even the slowest grindylow notices what's going on. And flees. Only to come back with eight more of them.

Trytton blasts again.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

Estelle moves to the edge of the group of Grindylows.

Trytton blows up another grindylow. Noonan claws two more to death. But only if you count Lito's morale bonus. Estelle knocks one out with the second try.

Now I have to go and count dead grindylows. Just a moment please.

Estelle is 1/33 hp i just noticed haha.

The remaining eight grindylows attack.

Trytton attacks again after swimming back 5 ft.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

Stabilize: 1d20 + 5 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 6 = 5

-7/33
Con 14

Estelle goes belly up in the water, bleeding from multiple small holes in her body.

Trytton sends another grindylow to the bottom.

Lito keeps directing the fight even while he stabs at the grindylow in front of him with his charged dagger.

Inspire Courage + 1(Round 9/12)

Dagger + Inspiration: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
Damage + Inspiriation + Arcane Strike: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 5

And just misses as the thing swims out of the way.

Sandara grabs the wand from Lito's pocket and swims over to Estelle using it on her.
Swim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

I'll wait for Jarrus and Noonan to reduce the grindylows further before I write a post for the enemies.

Jarrus, with pirate fury just hacks at the grindylow that attacked him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Just die already ye barnacle chewing bastiches!"

Jarrus hits the grindilow, but not hard enough to kill it.

Noonan uses his claws again.
Swim: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Claw,Rage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20
Claw,Rage: 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
Claw,Rage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27
Claw,Rage: 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
I checked your stats and with PA+Rage you'd to 1d6+6+2 Damage. But as it is not needed I took the higher to hit to correct the rolls.

Which ends two more grindylows. Suddenly one of the grindylows notices something and calls out in Aquan "<They have the queens spear! She is dead!>" On that all grindylows turn around and with a jet of water propel themselves out of the cave and through the tunnel.

Sandara ticks Estelle once more with the wand and holds her head above the water.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

stabilize: 1d20 + 5 - 7 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 7 = 14

Estelle stops bleeding and after Sandara pokes her twice, Estelle's eyes flash open and she rushes to the surface to keep from drowning. Gasping for breath, Estelle shakes her head to clear it, taking a a deep breath she dives back in to the fight.

On next round: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 271d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 1d4 bleed
confirm crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

You stabilize automatically once you're healed at least one HP.
Estelle hits the water really hard until she notices that all the enemies are gone already.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. The grindylow's jet ability gives them 200feet movement. They are gone for good and you would have to put in quite some effort to hunt them down. They left into the open sea.

Estelle looks around, the water still dark from blood and debris. She realizes that she was hitting nothing, after realizing she might look foolish Estelle surfaces again. Waiting for the others to surface.

"Sos we keeps going or we goes back?"

We go back! We hurt real bad!

After a quick search of the cave/bodies:

Yes, it is time to go.

Lito leads the group back the way they came all the way back to the exit (if possible)

Did we find Sandara's hat?

Sandara grabs her hat that is floating in this cave. "Shouldn't we heal everyone up again?" she asks. "Who knows what is waiting around the next corner?"

Trytton recognizes the features of he exit of this cave. Obviously this chain of caves forms a circle that connects at the exit of this cave.

Lito reaches for the wand in his pocket and looks confused until he sees it in Sandara's hand.

He says to Sandara.
That's a good idea. Make it so..

Then he winks at her:
I must say: Mighty forward if you, grabbing the stick in my pocket...

Sandara chuckles "I wouldn't dare to. I'm not going to find out if that would earn me lashes from the captain." Then she starts using the wand on everyone who looks hurt.

CLW Estelle: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW Estelle: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW Estelle: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CLW Sandara: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
back to 20

"Trytton, how are you?" she asks.

"Thank ye kindly Sandara, them squidlings got me pretty good aye. But I fear we're not quite done here yet." Jarrus says swimming close to her.

Estelle stretches out her muscles, smiling large at Sandara.

"Thank ye, now lets get the hell out o' this hole. Trytton lead on ye seem to know where ye going."

Lito chuckles.

You forget, Estelle and I are in charge of discipline not the captain.

I'm sure neither of us would use the lash for saving Estelle

"I am a bit hurt." Trytton says inspecting his body. 10 dmg

Sandara applies the stick to Trytton too.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"I think we're ready now." Sandara states.

"Thank you."

Swimming through the tunnel shows two options. One is back to the crater you came into the cove. The increasing movement in the water indicates that the way further along the tunnel leads to the open sea.

As most of the group are no big swimmers you go back to the crater. Looking up you notice some kind of nest. It is well hidden in a cleft halfway up the highest crater wall but with the creatures moving about it is obvious. About half a dozen bat winged insects the size of a cat scurry around.

Distance to nest: 40 foot; Swimming is DC 15 here. Climbing the walls is DC15 too. Only one roll needed, but three full rounds time. You get a surprise round as the pests are busy with something else at the moment.

Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Lito points at the nest.
Thats not good. Stirges. Huge bloodsucking Mosquitos.
They will feast on us if we try to climb.

I suggest we either swim out the other way, or The rest of us retreat and Trytton fires water at the nest and retreats under the water when they get close.

"If you all retreat to a safe distance I will deal with them."

Retreat but try to keep an eye on Trytton to make sure he is not in over his head.

Estelle will stay close to Trytton just in case something else comes up, she will watch the man take out the beasts from a distance with water.

Trytton swims about 20ft below the surface of the water and then starts summoning water blasts to throw at the stirges one after another.
Gather power move action to increase range, 120ft blast.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9
He keeps throwing blasts until he can't see any more stirges.

Trytton shoots blindly through the churnign water in the general direction of the nest. The first one is a hit that scares up the swarm. He then takes down another one before the rest flies away.

Ugh. Nasty things. It ok to climb?

Noonan scratches his head. Wait, we climbed down already? Were bugs asleep? Noonan points at the rope they tied to help get down.

It may have been attracted to something. We should check out the nest.
Climb up rope: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Is that a good enough check To climb with the rope?

Rope up the wall is DC 5. But the crater has different heights at the various sides. The lowest 40feet and the highest 80 feet. I assume you used the 50feet rope from the lowest point. And the nest is in the middle of the highest. So you end up on the wrong side but you can for sure climb down on the other side again.

Lito looks down at the nest from above.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

I can't see anything of the nest from up here....

Sandara follows Lito up the rope. "What do you expect to find?" she asks looking at the nest.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
"Are you sure we're looking at the right wall?"

Jarrus keeps checking the water as he treads water, a little paranoid that something's going to take a bite out of him.

A good way not to e bitten in the water is climbing out ;)

Estelle goes up behind Sandara, Attempting to reach up and grab the woman's buttocks as they climb.

climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Nearly falling Estelle quickly grabs the rope again.
