As you rushed off to the next fight, your eldritch blast strikes one of the giant octopi that were fighting the captain and his first mate. Your shot lands true and does a decent amount of damage against the beast causing it to bleed, allowing the captain to take a shot at the beast. However these creatures were no mere wild animals; they were combat trained and being octopi, surprisingly capable in combat. The beast easily blocks the crossbow bolt with it's armor, and seeing that such an attack was useless for now, the captain engaged the octopus in melee, where the beast and the captain exchanged blows, neither able to bypass each other's defenses. Meanwhile Azure had just finished off a Sahuagin when one of the octopi leapt onto her back and began to crush her with it's powerful tentacles, threatening to suffocate her. In a reckless fury she slashed her sword across her back, which managed to cut into the head of the beast and doing some serious damage, though not enough to slay him.

"Come! Slay the beast before they drag the others into the ocean!" The master of arms roared as he charged the octopus strangling Azure. His blow landed squarely in the wound that Azure had created, causing even more damage and blood to spill. When he tried to follow up with his shield, he was able to land a blow but the creature's violent struggle turned what may have been a fairly effective attack into a glancing cut. There was still chaos around the ship but it seemed like for now, the sailors were holding their own against the Sahuagins. If the captain and his first mate were freed from combat, they could rally their men and drive off these beasts once and for all.
