Initiative order: Crab Alyssa Bernard Ramious Leon
"Hehehehehe" the giggle with clear notes of madness in it bounced from the walls like dry peas. "Mice ran into the cat's house! What would my little mice do now? The cat is hungry! I think the mice will get eaten. Hehehehehe" Once the laughter died out, the voice added in a pretty mundane tone. "Between you and me, Corval is always hungry. Makes upkeep problematic at times. Lets see what I get here - a well fed pet or a boiled crab?" "Well, go on with it!"
As if responce to the the words of your invisible spectator, the giant crab made one small step forward and with a surprising grace moved his claw with the ring in attempt to catch Ramious:
vs Ramious: Attack: 25 Damage: 31
(If allowed to hit - Ramious is also grappled (escape DC 14) )
((Careful with misses! Nat 1 - the bubble is punctured. Simple miss can be just that, or, if you feel like gambling, we can roll for consequences))
A's face would harden further at the voices confident taunt. Their blue hues would scan the area, calculating their surroundings and sizing up their foe. It was a precarious battlefield. "Mind the barrier with your sharp weapons and forceful strikes." They cautioned. "Make it do all the work." The group needed to fight smart.
The elf would inhale a calm breath raising a hand in the air. They'd speak out in a low singsong voice. "Hwo su fliaptlor." Followed by a snap of their fingers. A protective shimmering field that sensed of Alyssa's magic surrounds Ramious, making their wrestling tiefling a little harder for the crab to grasp.
"Let's test how swift you are." With a flick of their other wrist and yet another snap, A would call down their familiar flame-like blast of radiant light on the crab.

((Sorry, my fault - I did say the crab moved, but did not post the map. There is no room for walking around here. Though, Bernard would not get on the opposite side of the crab anyway - too far.))
Crab save: 15
The shimmering light covering Ramious was shining though the still closing claw, but radiant flame washed over the shell, while both Bernard's arrows went straight through it, now awkwardly protruding from the creature.
The massive Crab was still trying to squeeze his first victim.
Leon moves right up to the crab-thing and casts a spell, pulling out a feather from his component pouch with one hand as he gestures towards the crab with the other. Speaking the words of the spell, he creates, in the mind of the crab, an image of its worst fear... Leon will angle this so it will not hit the others, but only the crab, should be more than enough room to do so, with only Ramious near the thing...
It felt as if creature simply did not even noticed Leon's manipulations. Leon was sure he calculated the angle and the spell intensity right, yet crab staid unmoved - in every meaning of the word.
Now Ramious and Leon were shielding others from the giant crustacean.

Ramious reflexively casts shield as the massive crab tries to grab him....those claws look they could slice a horse in two!!! Looking at the massive thing, he and the shield around him, he doesn't dare pull his weapon out, and he needs to get his friends unstuck from this tunnel! The crab could easily pierce it!
Seeking new found power within himself, he lets his sorcery powers accelerate his spell as he casts Enlarge/Reducequickened on himself....suddenly growing larger. He steps forward, attempting to SHOVE the huge crab.... Athletics / SHOVE check: 24. If he's successful, he then walks into the room, circling the crab, so they can battle with less chance of damaging the walls.
Ramious begun to grow, filling in the section of the corridor and pushing back both Bernard and Leon. Now his wings were protecting those behind him, and he could feel the "skin" of the bubble with his elbows. And then with one mighty enormous push Ramious threw the creature inside the room, stepping around to keep monster's attention on himself. Quite successfully too - the crab attacked right away. But now other's could get inside the bubble and get at least some room for maneuvers.
One thing you noticed, though, - the crab moved very carefully as if fully aware of the danger behind the "skin". You could say for sure, the crab wanted to break the thin protecting layer no more than any of you, and was so cautious, that halt its own attack, risking to loose the "meal".

Frowning as his spell seemed to ahve no affect at all, Leon drew out his warhammer, leaving his greatsword sheathed across his back. Wielding the smaller weapon with both hands, he moved to the attack.

Bugs held his ground and sized up the creature. "Anyone got butter in their rations? Thinking lunch sounds good after this," Bugs calls out as he takes another two measured shots at the crab.
Leon, jumping into the opening, played drums on crab's shell with his hammer, pleased to hear the dull answers of the hurt flesh beneath it. And Bernard sent two more arrows, one of which joined the feathery decoration the creature, but the other only scratched the surface and felt flat to the floor. At least that how it looked like, and yet, both Leon and Ramious felt the the air got a bit hotter and wetter around the giant crab. It was easier for Ramious to find the source of disturbance - a small puncture right above crabs right claw. As careful as the smart crustacean was, the might push from tiefling made him loose his footing for a moment and the bubble was punctured. At the top - probably the safest place - but the structure would not hold for long anymore.

Ramious yells, "Get to the chest, I'll handle this crab!! This place is going to collapse soon!" He attempts to grab and carry or shove the crab, picking it up or whatever he can to move it to one side.
Athletics for Grapple and carry, or for a shove, or whatever DM deems would be most effective in moving the crab about... : 29

A held their position, patiently observing the battled field. They did not want to act in haste until they knew the full consequences of the battle. As they feared, the membrane was compromised. At Ramious' call, blue hues darted, calculating with confidence. Without hesitation, they'd kick off. "On it!" The elf would sprint full speed, strafing by Leon, ducking below the Crab's claw being maneuvered by Ramious, sliding and skidding to a stop at the chest.

Not only Ramious managed to get hold of the crab Despite all its strength and enormous size the crab could not free himself from Ramious's iron grip. The tiefling dragged the monster along the stone floor making the shell produce the excruciatingly loud sound of fingernails on a chalkboard - it was a wonder the bubble did not burst from that noise alone. But it did not (yet) and A darted all the way across the room to the chest. The thing seemed to be unlocked, though A would not know until try it. It is as massive as the beast guarding it, even the lead looks heavy ((an action to open up)) and if the weapon is anywhere in this place - it's there.
The monster probably never had to deal with such big (and aggressive) prey. Ignoring smaller targets assaulting it or running around, the crab attacked his capture again:
vs Ramious: Attack: 13 Damage: 31
The whistling of the hot steam from above you is getting louder (as is the hole) but the skin will last for some more seconds: 4 - not that many, though ((2 rounds, to be precise, beginning with the next one)).
A would look over their shoulder to keep an eye on the others they could see. Being sure to inhale deep steady breaths to keep their lungs filled with fresh air, they'd look back to the chest. They'd reach to open it, taking a thorough look inside while their ears remained attentive to the sounds around them. The priority was wave, anything else could find their way into their bag depending on value and their ability to shove it into their pack before anything precarious happened.
Bugs slung his bow back over his should and shouted out to A. "I've got the bag! I'll join you!" He then rushes over to the chest with her. If given time he would begin to pull items into the bag of holding.
Bernard did reach the chest and since A opened it (the lead was very heavy indeed!) can even grab an item. The choice is quite wide: first of all, it is, yes, Wave - as gorgeous as it was described and depicted (better - the weapon radiates magic!), but the trident itself lies on top of pile of treasure: coins mixed with small silky bags where jewelers keep the gems, a leather band, for some reason, may be attached to something deeper inside the pile.
The sound of steam getting louder by the second and walls seemed to get closer.
A would take Wave first, as it was one of the three main goals of this place. Next, the leather band. The elf would make sure to take another look around to check on the others and the scene. Then they'd consider scooping the jewelers bags and coins with Bernard's help.
((DM is going to be super mean here - A gets Wave (that is two handed heavy weapon) as a free action after opening the chest. Leather band is for Bernard (if he wants it) as a free action now and grab some handful of treasure from the chest for an action next round - the last before collapse)).
