Snapped back to attention once the others started shouting about frogs, hearing all the commotion going on down the stream. "W-woah! Careful guys!" Elyot exclaims, granted he can see or hear all of this with only his torch in hand. (Approximately how far out is everyone if Elyot is standing on land by the first piton?)
He then takes out a handful of rocks which he had previously collected and rubs a silken thread across each one, giving them a faint glow, Magic Stone. Preparing to defend himself if worse would come to it.
Continues tracing the thread of silk across the rocks to prolong the effect, turning one over and offering one of the rocks to Alhorn as he approaches. "A sliver of residual magic lingers in the thread, enough to enhance these rocks. Use it wisely, the effect will not last for very long. Though I would not agitate the beasts just yet..." A leather cord is also unwrapped from the Halfling's wrist as he says that, it appears to be a sling, standing ready to assist the others.
Rather than hold up combat whilst I'm tucked up in bed, Galfaen will cast faerie fire (Dex 13 save) on the two frogs, then shillelagh (as a bonus action).
If he knows anything of the nature (11) of the beasts, he will convey that to the party.
"can you guys make it back to shore!" he yells out to Brac and Bardan.
Alhorn runs over next to Elyot and sees the stones "what did you do to the rocks halfling?"
He stands with his attention to the two still out in the muck. Hand on hilt, hoping they can make it back to the group.
Alhorn trys to determine what the creatures are going to do.
Animal Handling 1d20 + 2 5
man the dice are not on my side
Alhorn accepts the strange glowing rock from Elyot, "thank you my friend, but what do i do with this? throw it at them?"
as he stand on the rivers edge with rock in hand i exclaim "I will not make the first move"
Brac and Barden have enough time to scramble back to the riverbank before the giant frogs come.
Once they are back, Elyot will have a very good view on how big these frogs are, as they will have moved into range of the torch.
Galfaen will call out to the frogs, "We mean you no harm! We simply wish to cross the river".
(Persuasion: 18)
1 giant frog pauses in thought, but the others are set in their determination. "We hunger and you are food"
Everyone please roll initiative.
Enemies 2 giant frogs.

Brac Initiative = 1 + 1 = 2

Round 1 has begun, Post when able.
Giant Frog A lunges and tries to bite Brac
Attack: 7 Damage: 4
The Giant Frog bites Brac's arm and grapples him.
the target is grappled (escape DC 11). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the frog can't bite another target.
Elyot's magic stone attack misses landing harmlessly in the swamp water.
Its Galfaen's Turn
Can I ask how far away the frogs are? or do I need to wait till my turn?
Wait after Galfaen's turn.
Giant Frog A is right next to Brac as it has Brac grappled
Giant Frog B is 10ft away at the edge of the riverbank
