Again, Vars arrow flies true and accurate, penetrating the soft skin between the hard shells of the crab.
Eberk, seeing the gash in the crabs leg from the now deceased First mates cutlass, daringly rushes in to administer some blunt force trauma to the same area. Cracking it a mighty blow, fracturing the shell around its leg. It immediately picks the injured leg up and holds it aloft.
Sparhawk follows Eberk into close combat with the crab and deals a mighty blow to another of its legs.
The Light from Bjorn’s crystals bathes the crab in its greenish mist of sleepy time. The crab, sways a little bit. Seems to calm for a second before renewing its forward movement.
Sorsha again attempts to pierce the beast with her crossbow bolts, but it’s just not accurate enough to get the bolt where it can do some good.
Crewman1 considers giving up and fleeing 18
But, steels his courage and strikes in at the crab that is now focused on you guys.
A Line of town guard archers forms at the top of the beach as a group of 12 soldiers move towards the crab, still about 100 yards away from melee range.
Frangipani waves to the departing crab and tries not to look too hungry with the piles of delicious meat lying around....crab meat......totally crab meat....definitely not getting flashbacks to her Mothers punishment feasts back home.......
[Am I correct in understanding that there's only one survivor from Dock 4, and he's not the captain? And no other sailors in the immediate area?]
( that is correct. The Captain didn’t come ashore with the men, the first mate was their leader, may he Rest In Peace.)
with Another successful swing of his sword, Sparhawk cuts one of the legs off the crab as it struggles to get to the water. Bloody trailing from its numerous wounds.
As the beast is about to make it to the water, the archers from up the beach let loose their arrows. The missiles whistle through the air, most impacting uselessly on its shell, it a few find a soft spot and the beast drops for good. The soldiers make it up to you with disappointment on their faces that they didn’t get a chance to strike at the once in a lifetime beast.
"Good work crew."Sorsha says quickly as the battle seems to be over, checking that the crew are to be able to proceed. "Let's not tarry, we still have a job to do and we don't want to get mixed up with any of this businees with the town guard if we can avoid it." She adds quickly in a lowered voice, ushering the others along towards the Arcane Host Tower.
Erbek surveys the damage from the beast. "Well, that was more exciting than my usual night time walk-about." He checks over the group. "Is anyone injured?"
[Yeah, 20 on the die. And don't worry, you go before me. Nice hits, both of you!]
Yes, only on nat 20

Frangipani looked around waiting to see if the spell took affect, if it did not she would strike again.
( If Sleep doesn't take effect: Then Poison Spray. 12 Con Save. Dam: 9 )

Attack: 17 Damage: 10
His spear just barely finds a target and a burst of blood spill from the crabs leg
Frangipani seeing the grave wounding of the crab unleashes another spurt of green toxin.
Crab sav. Con8
Again, the poisonous fluid finds a sensitive area of the crabs skin.
A Line of town guard archers forms at the top of the beach as a group of 12 soldiers move towards the crab, still about 100 yards away from melee range.
The severely wounded monster takes note of the new comers and will attempt to flee to the safety of the water.
Eberk, Sparhawk, and Crewman1 get to take an opportunity attack on the fleeing crab
Eberk swings again with his warhammer.
Attack: 23 Damage: 3
Frangipani waves to the departing crab and tries not to look too hungry with the piles of delicious meat lying around....crab meat......totally crab meat....definitely not getting flashbacks to her Mothers punishment feasts back home.......
Eberk chips off another piece of crab leg.
Sparhawk takes one last opportunity attack at the fleeing crustacean in case it decides to try to kill someone else! Attack: 24 Damage: 11
“Yes! Run!” Vars shouts at the crab. He’s grinning wildly in spite of the death surrounding him, caught up in the thrill of the fight.

Frangipani begins collecting some choice bits of crab flesh and shoving them into her back...also a kidney....must have gotten in there by mistake....
Then hurries after Sorsha.
