Brachari WIS Save: 15

Harmony's complex spellcasting takes effect, and as the bound Brachari's daze wears off, it only struggles lightly against the bonds, no longer aggressive to the tiefling but still in a precarious position.
The others are not dissuaded, and all become visible as they slice and tear into Harmony and Abraxas's clothing, missing flesh by a mere distance. Mro Jus Bur parries a claw with his rapier and growls, "I don't think you can talk them out of it. Are we attacking?"
Round 2 Order: Players <===== Brachari
Placement: Six Brachari are attacking the party. Harmony is engaged in melee combat with two Brachari. Abraxas is engaged in melee combat with two Brachari. Mro Jus Bur is engaged in melee combat with one Brachari. One Brachari is bound and charmed by Harmony.
Tracking: Abraxas is lightly wounded. Harmony is lightly wounded.
Aisha will make her healing spirit move to the one that looks like they took more damage, and if the brachari refuse to be peaceful.. she will then use all 3 of her attacks if one gets close enough but not hit the one thats bound.

Abraxas casts Magic Missile at the demon crab closest to him: 13. White bolts spin from his hands. If possible, without moving out of melee range, he moves so the demon crab is between him and the water. He has studied swimming, but he wants to avoid actually doing it if he can.
Harmony was very glad as her spell worked, able to charm the bound Brachari. Unfortunately the others didn't listen as they attacked her and Abraxas, hearing Bur and thinking. "Don't attack this one!" she said, pointing to the bound one. She knew that she needed to untie that Brachari, taking a big risk by doing this. So she quickly runs over to behind it and unties them. "Can you please get your friends to stop attacking us?! We really don't want to fight, we just want to talk." Harmony would say to it, pleading with big puppy-dog eyes. She would also wink at Abraxas, giving him Bardic Inspiration just in case.
Movement: Moving without disengaging to behind the bound Brachari

One of the Brachari attacking Abraxas is torn asunder as the mage fires his spell point blank into the creature's shell. The missiles puncture it, leaving it dead, blood oozing from the holes in its carapace. The other Brachari lunges at Abraxas, but stops short when Garu pierces it with her jian. Vines covered in thorns sprout from her weapon, wrapping around the crab and locking it in place. It only lasts a few seconds; the creature struggles past the thorns biting into it and breaks free of the vines, its attack temporarily halted.
Aisha's healing spirit floats toward Abraxas and Garu's assailant, but soon disappears. Prepared for the relentless aggression, Aisha is at the ready when a Brachari leaves Harmony to strike at her. The tabaxi takes a claw to her offhand in the process, but lands two solid blows with the dagger in her main hand, creating panic in the feral creature's eyes.
The bound Brachari looks utterly confused. Harmony unties it, feeling a claw graze her leg as she does so, and it stands itself up, whipping its head around the battlefield. It stays close to Harmony, but makes no move toward its companions.
Mro Jus Bur trades a claw for a brutal thrust of his rapier down the side of his opponent. "Great move!" Mro Jus Bir calls out from the side, his eyes intently taking in the action.
Round 3 Order: Players <===== Brachari
Placement: Five Brachari remain. Harmony is engaged in melee combat with one Brachari. Aisha is engaged in melee combat with one Brachari. Abraxas and Garu are engaged in melee combat with one Brachari. Mro Jus Bur is engaged in melee combat with one Brachari. One Brachari is charmed by Harmony, standing by her.
Tracking: Abraxas is lightly wounded. Aisha is lightly wounded. Harmony is lightly wounded.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Abraxas will target a Brachari he is not in melee with, in an effort to avoid any disadvantage from a ranged attack, specifically the one closest to Harmony. He casts Ray of Frost: 25 to hit for 14 damage.
Harmony winced as she had felt the claw graze her leg, watching the Brachari. But it seemed like it wasn't doing what she wanted it to do, sighing. Guess talking will be impossible then. "Help protect me and defeat these others!" she would tell the charmed Brachari, referring to the other Brachari. Then she will face the other one that attacked her, thinking. She will cast Vicious Mockery on it and then use Healing Word on herself. If she gets damaged again, she will use her reaction to cast Hellish Rebuke on the attacker.
Action: Vicious Mockery on the Brachari in melee combat with - 15 WIS Save or take 5 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack roll
Bonus Action: 1st Lv Healing Word on herself - 6
Reaction: (only if damaged) Hellish Rebuke on attacker - 15 DEX Save, take 12 fire damage or half on success
OOC: Botting Aisha for this round with standard attacks.
Brachari WIS Save: 19
Dagger vs. Brachari: 22Damage: 4 Dagger vs. Brachari: 19Damage: 5 Dagger vs. Brachari: 25Damage: 1
Mro Jus Bir marvels as the cohesive unit on the raft, providing the verbal accompaniment to each impact as Abraxas covers Harmony with another well-placed ray of frost that blasts a Brachari dead back into the water, Garu stabs into another's side while Aisha slides in to finish it off with her dagger, somersaulting a few feet over to thrust the dagger into another Brachari's eye, then punches out with her off-hand, taking the last Brachari by surprise while it is distracted by Mro Jus Bur's footwork.
The last Brachari remaining stands patiently by Harmony's side.
"Well...that was remarkable," Mro Jus Bir says in the silence that follows.
Garu spots the torn clothing on Abraxas, the flesh beneath cut from the attacks by the Brachari. She looks at the wounds and reaches her hands, first up as to give thanks, then placed them around the wounds and uses Lay on Hands to heal his injuries.

Garu's divine light heals the cut and the scar from Abraxas, leaving him in fine shape.
A cheer arises from nearby as the rest of the Wysto guards arrive, filing around the raft. They part ways for their elder, who has arrived behind Mro Jus Bir, gazing at the sight of the party, victorious over the Brachari corpses. As the scene unfolds, the last remaining fiendish crab glances around, having shown no comprehension of Harmony's requests, and attempts to flee from the raft.
Garu will use her Feline Agility to bound past the Branchari and hold her action to slap him or her with the flat blade of the jian if an attempt to move past her is made.

Abraxas casts Slow on the demon crab. It needs to roll a WIS DC of 15 to escape the effects of the spell. "Restrain it until we're ready! Then we can release it and follow it back to its source! Hopefully someone or thing we can persuade to stop cutting nets," he says.
Harmony was relieved that they took care of the rest of the Brachari, only to see the one she charmed try to run away. "Get back here!" she says as she will try to grab at the crab with Aisha's help.
The demonic crab nearly halts from the pulse of Abraxas's magic, and in a brief moment, Harmony has grabbed it, restraining it as it flounders helplessly. After a few seconds, it gives up, peering up at the bard apologetically.
"Thank you, Garu, for improving my health," Abraxas says. He whispers to the others, "Let's see what we can learn from the elder, then release the demon crab." He whispers as quietly as he can, hoping the crab can't hear or understand it. "Then we can follow it and have a conversation with the source of the problem. Perhaps. What do you think?"
