Fortunately for Dojima, Eustace was quick to react, slowed only by the number of blots that had appeared. He had also been accosted, but he managed to draw his long knife and stab one through, freeing himself so that he could tail whip another and completely break free from the small mob. Seeing Dojima precarious situation, he charged forward, cutting through the water to ram into one of the blot mermen holding Dojima's leg. He then proceeds to slash at the one at his neck, and soon their attention shifts onto their attacker.

It should at least be enough to loosen their grip for Dojima to break free from their grasp.
