OOC: Barking enough to be worthy of intimidation would indeed be an action.
The large crawlers click and hiss as the vines sprout around them. One is held back by Hex's spell, but its companion tears through the vines and slithers hungrily across the spillway floor toward Briny and Sylyra, paying no mind to the barking or the mental arcane assault. Uragum chucks an orb of lightning past the oncoming creature.
Round 2 Order: Players <===== Carrion Crawlers
Placement: One carrion crawler is restrained, 60 feet away from Briny and Sylyra and 80 feet away from Hex and Uragum. One carrion crawler is 15 feet away from Briny and Sylyra and 35 feet away from Hex and Uragum.
(Posting now but, if possible, holding turn until someone else damages the unrestrained crawler to proc Colussus Slayer. I always forget I have this feature lmao)
With one restrained, Hex focuses her attention onto the other and takes a shot before moving back to put some more distance between herself and the creature.
Briny's eyes widen and she starts talking out loud, half to herself. "Uh, not good. Ok, well this is gonna be stupid. Sylyra, I really hope your bite is worse than your bark!" With that she throws out a line of lightning in an attempt to rope the approaching creature and pull it all the way into reach.
Cast Lightning Lure: Str save DC 13 or be pulled 10 ft in a straight line toward me and take 5 lightning damage
If lightning lure works: Reaction - cast Shield if it looks like I'll be hit by an attack from the creature
If the cantrip fails: move back behind Hex and Uragam
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sylyra-mutt turns his eyes up toward Briny, clearly unimpressed by her comment. As her lightning lure is extended, the dog form shimmers and grows, once again taking elf form. As soon as he is able, he encants a spell, causing what appears to be a tear in space above the nearest crawler. A beam of moonlight streams down upon it.
Bonus: revert to elf form
Action: moonbeam on the nearest crawler — 11 radiant damage at the beginning of its next turn
OOC: Holy moly, what a week it's been. Sorry folks.
The unrestrained carrion crawler lurches across the ground toward Sylyra, closing in as the druid brings radiant moonlight crashing down upon its back. Uragum's ball of lightning slams into its torso, followed soon after by an arrow from Hex, but the large monstrosity barely slows. Briny pulls back as the creature nears, all but ignoring her lightning lure. As she backtracks, the crawler whips a tentacle across Sylyra's neck. Visibly, little more than a welt shows where the tentacle impacted, but Sylyra slows as the burn of poison courses through his skin, halting his movement completely. Standing now directly over him, the carrion crawler chews at his studded leather, trying to engulf the druid whole.
At the back of the spillway, the sound of shredding vines blends into the rushing water as the second crawler frees itself and crawls hungrily toward the sounds of combat.
Round 3 Order: Players <===== Carrion Crawlers
Placement: One carrion crawler is 30 feet away from Sylyra, 50 feet away from Uragum, 55 feet away from Briny, and 65 feet away from Hex. One carrion crawler is engaged in melee combat with Sylyra, 20 feet away from Uragum, 25 feet away from Briny, and 35 feet away from Hex.
Health: The carrion crawler fighting Sylyra is lightly wounded.
Sylyra is lightly wounded, poisoned, and paralyzed. He can repeat a CON saving throw at the end of his turn.
Briny decides that there's no time like the present to try something bigger, especially if it helps out a companion. Reaching once more inside of herself to touch that roiling and shifting core of magic she releases a bolt of... something at the creature attacking Sylyra.
Cast Chaos Bolt: 25 for potentially 14 damage (type tbd)
The air is rent by Briny's bolt, a slight shimmer that strikes the carrion crawler's face with a vicious eruption of sound. Its head rocks backward and it levels it toward the sorceress, its mandibles in a wide hiss - the perfect opening for Hex's next arrow. Uragum's flaming sphere behind it is its final straw; leaving Sylyra behind, still locked in paralysis, the creature rumbles and splashes through the narrow canal toward Uragum, lashing a tentacle across his chest as it bears down on him. The poison seems to affect the goliath less, as his limbs still respond, but that does not stop the large creature from sinking its teeth into his shoulder.
The adept wizard maintains his concentration on the fiery sphere hovering just beyond Sylyra, and the second carrion crawler pauses its frenzied dash to heed it. Clicking its mandibles in apparent frustration, the creature sidles to the wall and begins to wriggle its way upward, moving beyond Sylyra toward the rest of the party where the ceiling above the sewer path is lower.
Round 4 Order: Players <===== Carrion Crawlers
Placement: One carrion crawler is crawling along the ceiling, 15 feet past Sylyra, 15 feet away from Uragum, 20 feet away from Briny, and 30 feet away from Hex. One carrion crawler is engaged in melee combat with Uragum, 20 feet past Sylyra, 5 feet away from Briny, and 15 feet away from Hex.
Health: The carrion crawler fighting Sylyra is severely wounded.
Sylyra is lightly wounded, poisoned, and paralyzed. He can repeat a CON saving throw at the end of his turn. Uragum is lightly wounded.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Her vines no longer needed to slow the creatures down, Hex drops her concentration on them and instead focuses down on the severely injured crawler, trying to end its life before it can do anymore damage.
Bonus Action: Hunter's Mark on the crawler fighting Sylyra
OOC: Awaiting actions from Briny, Sylyra, and Uragum for this round. Hex's arrow will slay the wounded carrion crawler, leaving only the crawler on the ceiling.
Hex's arrow meets its mark again, striking the already-wounded carrion crawler in its throat. It stretches upward, hissing, reaching nearly the full extent of the sewer ceiling, before falling dead onto its back.
A tentacle flails from the ceiling down upon Uragum, striking the goliath's head. The poison still does little to slow Uragum's movements, and the mage clenches his fist, attempting to slow the creature as Briny casts a spell to assault its mind. Though it reels against Briny's magic, it is unaffected by the growing frost from Uragum's spell, and it falls upon the goliath, dropping from the ceiling and lunging face-first, practically inhaling his arm as it chomps down.
Further ahead, Sylyra remains paralyzed, hearing the sounds of pain and combat behind him but unable to see the state of his companions.
Round 5 Order: Players <===== Carrion Crawler
Placement: The remaining carrion crawler is engaged in melee combat with Uragum, 20 feet past Sylyra, 5 feet away from Briny, and 15 feet away from Hex.
Health: The carrion crawler is lightly wounded.
Uragum is badly wounded. Sylyra is lightly wounded, poisoned, and paralyzed. He can repeat a CON saving throw at the end of his turn.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Reaction from that last attack, Stone's Endurance to reduce damage by 11
Uragum takes another bite and grits his teeth. With a free hand he pulls the flaming sphere back towards him and into the back of the crawler. Then with the other, he draws forth lightning and tries to ram it into the creatures neck.
Bonus action: move flaming sphere. Dex save DC 13 for half of 10 fire damage
Action: Shocking grasp Attack: 25 Damage: 2 electric

Uragum summons a ball of fire behind the nearest crawler, opposite side of Sylyra and rams it into the crawler.
