Sure, you can call the Mermen anytime. By using the ability (remember,
it's more like a dramatic ability than a simulation) you can summon them
to the scene anywhere. However the 'degree of appropriateness' would
modify the chance of them appearing. In this scene for example, it would
be a simple test with no modifiers - it is ideal conditions. Trying to
introduce the mermen whilst you're in the frozen tundra of Pent would be
a different matter. As for hacking with a sword underwater, that would
also incur a significant penalty, probably about -10 or thereabout.
