all afternoon.
I did a serious face-palm on this! So many times incidents like this happen in AD&D.
Yeah. I picked
Faerie Fire over
Speak With Animals at the beginning of the encounter because I thought they were too far away, and wouldn't hear it under water. I figured FF would help everybody do enough damage to drive them off in the first couple of rounds. Then the dice went to crap, everybody missed (except the whales!) and suddenly the ship is sinking

. So I went with SWA to try and stall them and of course everybody scores hit after hit.
Still, I don't know how we could have negotiated with them anyway, other than by offering to toss another couple of grannies over the side. And that still would have been a typical AD&D moment
