Wrench suggests someone go chat up the lead mermaid. This is a terrible idea, and we will ignore him.

Otherwise, his distraction skills boil down to screaming "Hey, asshole, over here!" and then running / swimming away as fast as possible. ... though, hm. He might have one (or more, depending? mods, what say you?) of the water serpents in pokeballs from the coup, because he took one for himself but never used it. That might be something they could use?
