How does a red dragon blow out the candles on its birthday cake?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Adray slips to one side as Chior moves through the other. With her offering up the mace, he grabs it. Finishing the last few feet he strikes down at a diagonal angle and then spins with the momentum and strikes down hard and then nearly jumps up with a heavy kick aimed at it's head.
(Forgot! Hound Wis save: 21 Guess the fiend gig not get the joke)
That was a wise decision on Choir/Adray's part - the monk was a killing machine and with three precise strikes dropped the last hellhound to the ground.
The corridor in front of the group looked clear of the devils now.
On the other side (where kids and Lulu went) Ordrag was preparing to fight more devilish creations.
Polly is starting to panic a little. No magic that she cast has any effect and she is almost out of power. She has her fire bolt but that doesn’t seem to work either.
she gives up on magic and replace the want with the crossbow that Fran gave to her and takes aim the dog.
(Actually, Polly could see that the magic was hurting the devil (and after studying devils in Candlekeep to understand the mechanic behind it), but in case she did not pay attention - crossbow might be just as good here).
Fran whistles, sending her loyal companion towards the closest threat in defence of the children. She will reach into her leathers for her trusty daggers, to her surprise she's out. "Aye! Go on ahead. I got teh rear til I get sorted." She'd call out to Adray, Choir and Polly. The artificer will hang back to allow the others to catch up and react. She'll retrieve her daggers from the battlefield, specifically her favoured righty Tighty and lefty Lucy that slew the devil.
(If she can she'd like to collect all her daggers, and any extras that happen to be within range of hers that were out on the battle field. I think there were at least 3? I would assume to collect the daggers it would use all of her movement etc. So she'll do so and keep an eye on their rear in case anything comes up while they regroup and she reequips.)
Now, when full attention could be paid to the northern side of the crypt, Harkina and both dwarves - even the half burned one - rushed there. The twisted deformed crab was not alone, of course: after the first one came another and you could be sure there are more behind the corner. Mindless creature did not even slow down, seeing protectors of the crypt. If not for the narrow corridors, the place might as well be overrun by them.
Druid tried to summon plants to slow the beasts down. (17, 9, 10, 19) yet only one got entangled, leaving the druid more lost and discouraged, than Polly.
Initiative order is the same, crabs are trying to fill in the corridor.
Polly Adray Harkina Dwarves Choir Lulu Fran Brutus Ordrag Crabs
Polly will only yell “We need to get out of here!” Then she try once mor to cast Tashas hideous laughter on the first crab to slow the rest. “Hey Crab dude! Why don’t crabs donate to charity? Because they are shellfish!”
Hearing some fuss going on to the north, Choir runs that way.

It's a bit crowded now in the northern corridor, and Ordrag with Lulu - those who can see the bigger part of it - can not be sure how many crabs are coming. For now they can see six of them, while protectors of the southern corridor (meaning, everyone else) can only see one or two.
Still, Polly tried to drop down at least that one visible. (Crab's save: 7 )
Surprisingly, the beast remained standing.
Harkina shoot: Attack: 20 Damage: 7
And the dwarfs, that managed to recover their axes, threw them again: Attack: 16 Damage: 7 and Attack: 22 Damage: 6
((OOC: Very interesting - sometimes rolls change without giving warnings - had it before, got it now with the crab's save. I'll accept the second one, crab is prone now, but for the size of it - no disadvantage on the range weapon)
Actually, the first crab is dead. For all their twisted spiky shell - they were still the beasts.
Ordrag worked practically as a shredder - second crab died before it got anywhere near the rest of the group, and seriously wounded the next one.
Choir and Adray can try their luck and get through the crowd now.
Choir pushes her way to the northern corridor, and seeing the crabs, backs away toward Lulu so there's room for Adray. She will try heaving a javelin over Ordrag's head and into a crab.

Adray will run as close as he can to get to the crab creatures. If he can get to range sttackdd distance he will toss two darts again. If he can't he will take the dodge action.

Did the hellhound save against my hideous laughter? Wisdom save 15? If not it should be prone and all melee Attacks have advantage?
it can save again after every time it takes damage with advantage and normal save every time it is it’s turn

Hey little crab, come and meet my friends, taunts Ordrag as he swings his longsword and warhammer. I reckon I could do with a feed of crabs, eh?
He strolls down the corridor to meet the first crab, pushing through to the next and the next and climbing over the broken crab shells as he goes.

Seeing that there is not much she can do for now, Polly will go over to the alter thing by H15 and check it out.
