With a pretty nasty gash from the Crab, Ramious attempts to pin the thing....making it harder for it to hurt him..... (Grappling Pin feature).
Athletics check to Pin : 24. If successful, both Ramious and the crab become restrained.
(Actually, since I realize that if both the crab AND Ramious become restrained...then....the crab still has straight rolls to attack him, so, this is a total waste of time and action.....)
Ramious grunts from the bad wound from the Crab, and anger rises into him, slipping into a rage, he whips his blade from its sheath and swings it down at the creature.....
(Athletic roll can be taken for not get restrained by the crab)
A true wonder to behold, Ramious managed to restrain the enormous crab with one hand, while stabbing him with another. Even if the wound is not fatal, it sure keeps crab's attention on the attacker.
Bernard would grab some jewels as a free action now and would grab the leather band that seems to be attached to something further down as his next action. Just incase whatever it's attached to is a trap.

(B 1 L 5 )
If the guardian was instructed to look after the chest, that instruction were all forgotten. Irritated beyond simple reflexes, the giant crab was only able to madly attack the one who kept it pinned under the growing heat.
vs Ramious: Attack: 13 Damage: 22
Crab's claw not just cut through the flesh - it stack, keeping the tiefling on place as much as he was keeping the crab on place too.
Meanwhile, A-Alyssa with the heavy weapon in hands, and Bernard with Leon were trying to get as much treasure from the chest as they could. Bernard: the band proved to be attached to the goggles, shaped as owl mask, that and a silk pouch with some gem inside were his catch of the round. Leon, despite the danger, hunted the pouches (with obviously higher value content) in the pile and fished out five of them.
However, now all treasure hunters saw the walls closing down, while enlarged Ramious not only saw it - he felt it, where the outer "skin" touched now his own (that did not got boiled only because his innate heat-resistance). A few more moments, and the warrior risked not to fit into the exit.

(Ooops, i've been forgetting concentration checks : First wound: 23 vs DC 10. Most recent wound : 18 vs DC 10. And I KEEP FORGETTING you can't concentrate on spells with Rage, so, since last round, he shrunk down anyway....I hope that doesn't mess things up too much....)
As the crab squeezes him, despite him raging and the damage not hurting him too bad, or perhaps because of his rage, he loses concentration and shrinks back down to normal size. But, glancing back, he sees his friends still standing around the chest. He curses, and strikes at the crab once again....
Attack: 22 Damage: 11
(He would like to 'bonus action: drop rage' and then 'action surge: misty step'....but he will only drop his rage and attempt to escape after his friends have made it safely past the crab...so.....depending on timing, i'm not sure how it will play out. I'll just announce his intention now...and let BlueBayou say if he takes another attack from the crab / wound, and has to hang around for another round...and have the thing collapse on him....in order to distract the crab long enough, in which case....getting away may be tougher...or something else....since I'm not sure on timing....)
Bugs would book it out of there with the others. If he's able to make it out and Ramious is still grappled, Bugs would use a charge of his animal friendship ring to try and cast fear on it in which it states it drops what it is holding and flees.
A would ensure everyone was heading out ahead of them. Should Ramious need assistance, they too had options available to help. They'd at least start their run towards the tiefling while waiting for whether Bernard's skills could distract the Crab enough for them to run the rest of the way.
"Get out everyone." Leon says. I plan on teleporting..." He then will grab whatever else he can this round, taking his action to do so. Then he will misty step out as far as possible, before using his movement to go another 30 feet.
It felt like that huge monster was not familiar with the concept of fear - not even a twitch of a lag, as if Bernard did not even try to cast anything.
The exit is 70ft away from the chest, so it's either dashing with last 10ft covered by Misty Steps, or normal move + action + Misty Steps to risk get stuck 10ft away from the exit.
For Ramious it's 50ft but his is enlarged and the exit is shrinking, Misty steps can come handy...
(Ramious is no longer enlarged, he shrank back to normal size after slipping into a Rage.... if everyone else is booking it and made it past the crab, then he Misty Step's 30 feet then runs the other 20 feet.)
Making sure everyone was out was not that easy. A-Alyssa, carrying very pretty but unfamiliar long weapon, lost their breath half the distance into the soft corridor. Bernard could run past, to the solid ground (fey helping to get momentum), where Leon just teleported. Ramious, who freed himself from the clutches of the crab and now had the normal size, hence, moved freely under the descending soft boiling hot ceiling, had a chance to push A with the Wave out practically not even loosing speed.
Should he help, the party found themselves on the very edge of the sunken ridge with the bubble collapsing right behind them, covering the crab, that still desperately tried to get out of the trap. Boiling water was slowly raising up covering the remains of the "skin" and the wide moves of the Wave's Guardian were getting slower and slower until the one last twitch signaled the death of "the expensive pet". Wet air now smelt of the well cooked crab meat.
When the boiling lake got its prey and settled down a bit, the familiar voice commented the situation. "Not bad, not bad. Not enough action, though. You know what? I might spice it up a bit, how about that? You would love it, right? Right?! I think you would. Let's see where you would go next." He quieted down (abruptly, as usual) and you could decide what to do next in relative peace and quiet.
"Now I'm just hungry." Leon says with a anoyed grunt, glancing back to where the well-cooked crab is beyond their reach. He sighs and turns to the others. "So, we have two choices, well three to be exact, the strange cylinder in that hall close to hear, or back to the two passages we didn't check out back by that cat-thing he is using as his greeter. If we go with the idea that each of those first three passages leads to a weapon, then going back there is likely our best choice, and trying one of those other passages." He settles down as he speaks, pulling out the items he took from the treasure chest, and handing them over to Bugs to place in the bag of holding. Then he looks to A. "So what is that weapon you found, is it one of the ones we are after?"
Ramious looks around at everyone, some blood dripping down his arm from a gash, "Hunh, well, waddya know. We made it. And we got the magic thing? That's great. Though, I'm a little tired, so if we rested, and took stock of the stuff we found, that might be nice. Sorry, feels like we just got here by I want another rest already. Must still be recovering from ....back in town."

"Understandable." Leon says, his tone a bit condescending. He shrugs. "Likely as good a place as any to rest though, as we aren't likely to find anything too concerning here, but how about we move back past one of these doors, let it close, and then settle in to rest there."
Bugs stares out at the cooked crab. If it's withinn30 feet he will send some bugs out to collect a few pounds worth of cooked meat from any cracked or exposed pieces. If he can get nothing he's disappointed.
"Well that was fun... I mean I didn't get hurt but big guy, since when could you become a bigger guy? That was crazy!"
No, no such luck as a chanck of meat - the crab is mostly under the boiling water and remains of the skin, leaving only the mouthwatering smell to linger in the very hot wet air - one more reason to move behind at least first metal door. Besides, the floor here is still covered with water, can not even sit with remote comfort.
You could count the treasure, though. In addition to those goggles, Bernard caught the deep blue gem (sapphire, worth 1000gp), Leon had five silk bags - one contained a ruby (1000 gp), three had smaller gems (750 gp all together) and one had a strange cool to the touch polished agate, pretty but unremarkable to the look.
And A got Wave itself - there were no doubts here, you had the picture. But even without the picture, the magnificent tridents just could not be anything else! It was glittering in A's hands and the hot steam formed big drops on the polished metal making it spark.
To A
A-Alyssa suddenly heard a voice in their head - so deep low at first it sounded as extension of the mountain rumbling: "Ah, it's so good to be out of the dark box and in the hands of the future follower of the great Poseidon! I can almost smell the ocean in our future travel. Who are you, mortal?"
