"Let them come to us. The water is their strength.
Coraline cast her spell to rebuke death, causing her companion to heal for 1d4 hp, but she can not do it all the time. She then moves out with her friends.
Vasaam gets on the raft and pushes it away once the rest are on!
Leona shots a stone from her sling
which flies higher and arcing more then it should and just lands in front of one....
then gets a new stone for the next shot
After Caroline's healing hand, Aletha's eyes open again.
Grabbing her bardiche as she stands up, and seeing the others, except Leona, heading for the rafts, she does towards her own.
Leona's sling lands a soft splash just off the shore of the space the sahuagin are at.
==================================
Round 3
The sahuagin reload and, with something flying back at them, take some shots a second time.
The shots previously directed towards Aletha's and Caroline's positions, fly through thin air.
Leona sees a bolt fly by her some 5ft too far to the left of her.
Team fixers
Vasaam watches what he can see and keeps his head down. "Come on. Let them follow if they want to die. They've got too much advantage here."
CUKA BLYAD HUESOS KAKOI ETAT PIZDEZ!
Aletha swears whipseringly in a harsh yet oddly melodic language as he eyes open.
She readies a pilum throw, but is otherwise silent and moves with the party
Lariel continues with the group and says "We should create a light source that they can't just step over. Maybe from the top?"
He looks up trying to see a good place to place a light source so that he can shoot there.
[dice=Perception with Low-light vision]1d20+8
Lariel sees nothing yet, until a new light cantrip is cast.
Coraline would cast the light cantrip again, her talents here more useful for this than anything.
Leona shots a stone from her sling
and it lands between one's eyes on their forehead
Vasaam curses and then calls on his ring for magic that he hadn't prepared.... A magical arrow forms and streaks at the enemy that Leona had hit.
"Can we push this raft back and let them come to us? I can only fire that missile once but have better magic for short range!"
The flung stone manages to hit something, indeed.
Caroline lights up Lariel's arrow, who aims for the distant ceiling. It ricochets off the cavern ceiling, falling onto the ground below, illuminating the shore where the fireflies hinted at the stairs.
Leona decides to whirl a stone, which hits the sahuagin on the forehead.
Leona gets on the raft
Round 4
On the other shore, the sahuagin reload their crossbows.
As for the team, they hear 4 times something splashing into the water.

Being fairly strong at, at 3 hp, not in combat capable condition, Aletha is gonna row row row the boat.
Rowing is something she has never done, but might as well to get away from these hateful creatures. " We need to quickly regroup, and come up with a better method of attack."
Aletha moves her raft 30ft towards the shore, while the others move 60ft, putting the double in the pace.
Behind Aletha, the moist in the cavern turns into a fog screen hanging behind her.
=============
Round 5
Two sahuagin emerge a little behind Aletha, only to let out an angry gutteral sound, as she is hidden yet again from sight. Having seen the raft from underneath, they shoot at what they but guess she may be at.
But her raft having 2 spaces, shots get devided, and she sees two bolts fly past her.
The two other sahuagin follow the rest of the party, their heads and leveled crossbows emerging some 15 feet behind the raft.
Vasaam ducks away, but the bolt aimed at Leona hits.
Team fixers.
"Youch, be we still gotta move,
.. stroke, stroke."
Vasaam calls out to the sahuagin attacking. (in Aquan) "Don't make us kill you. We just want to leave."
He then sends a cone of flames at them.
Taking a small pebble, Coraline does exactly that, casting light on a stone before dropping it behind them, ensuring they could see but also not be targeted by anything at first.
" Here my friend, let the light of the true goddess guide you."
Lariel says "Thanks Coraline!", and waits until any sahuagin emerge before firing an arrow.
Ready action: Fire when a sahuagin gets out of the water
With the light on the distant shore snuffed, Vasaam and Lariel let an arrow and fire magic.
Lariel's arrow enters the water, but hits nothing, a sahuagin ducks under water as the burning hands goes off, the other one gets its arms singed. Caroline tosses the pebble, which was somehow on the raft, past them... *soft splash* Ahead of the raft, things become dark, as the pebble sinks into the water, yet revealing the two forms of the sahuagin more clearly.
Aletha rows 30ft, and is now 20ft from shore.
Having drawn his bow, and shooting, Lariel drops his bow next to him onto the raft.
Fireflies near the ceiling, start gathering into a large swarm, as they descend towards the sahuagin, glowing very bright briefly.
One of them resists, but the bright glow temporarily blinds them. Angry gurgling follows.
=======================================
Finally getting the point that not only the adventurers fight back, but even the cavern itself actively works against them, the sahuagin call off pursuit, and dive to swim back towards the other shore. The swarm of fireflies disperses, once again spreading out throughout the area, once more giving the cavern a soft pretty effect.
Caroline lights the feather of her tricorn, and you guys can prepare for shore without bumping over.....
