INSIDE THE FISHERY
Gadeann, Girri, and Orman take a moment to savor their victory. Girri kneels to make a quick search of Lamm's person, but finds, in addition to his weapons (masterwork hand crossbow, masterwork dagger, 10 bolts) only a ring of keys.
In the quiet aftermath of the battle, the party suddenly hears multiple splashes from outside, followed by Karastro's voice shouting, "Help! Shark!"

Beathing hard and with heart racing becuase of the circumstances, Edlin is suddenly feeling lucky that the shark didn't come his way. He now turns his attention to rescuing Karastro, or at least to get his head above water so that the warlock does not drown.

SHARK IN THE WATER - ROUND 3
Karastro floats, senseless, in the river, and does not regain consciousness. Lucky Edlin, indeed fortunate that the shark went after Coldan instead, is able to dog paddle over to where the warlock floats. He clumsily wraps one arm around Karastro's chest from behind, and manages to pull his head up above the surface of the water. He can only hope that it is not too late to save his companion's life.
Meanwhile, under the river's surface, Coldan and the jigsaw shark engage in a bitter struggle to gain the upper hand. The shark's rows of serrated teeth again fail to penetrate the knight's gruesome armor, but Coldan likewise cannot score a damaging blow, as his spiked gauntlet fails to breach the animal's tough skin.
[sblock=Combat Crunch]Karastro's stability roll succeeds, no condition change.
The shark makes a bite attack on Coldan, but misses.
Edlin makes a successful Swim check, managing to get Karastro's head above water.
Coldan fails his Swim check, and cannot surface. He attacks the shark, missing with spiked gauntlet.[/sblock]
Initiative Round 4
22: Karastro (-1/6 hp, Dying, No Strikes)
11: Shark (-5 hp)
11: Edlin
6: Coldan
OOC: Edlin will need to make continued Swim checks to hold Karastro's head above water and/or try to get to the shore. Coldan has 24 rounds of breath left to him as he struggles with the shark. Meanwhile, Orman (at least...not sure yet about Gadeann and Girri) will arrive on the scene in another round or two.

Coldan grits his teeth, flashing back to his training. The dreaded Bezekira Legions were used to teach underwater fighting, their sleek feline form revealed in the murky water where normal sight would fail. Too many times did the knight enfant succumb to the murky depths, only to awaken to the stern iron helms of the Order, their silence stern disapproval. This time, there would be no rescue. Victory or defeat, and the all the punishment the Realm beyond promised, were his only two choices now.
OOC: Rinse and repeat (swim/grapple or attack).

Girri grabs Lamm's hand crossbow, dagger, the bolts, and--swinging the keys on an index finger--stands from her crouch. Girri looks for the dagger she threw at Lamm that missed then hustles after Orman and Gadaenn.
