Unlikely hidden, but with no time to create his illusion, usul simply readies and shoots a bolt from his crossbow towards S1.

"I cannae speak for the lot, but I'll do what I'm able." Darla says, setting Snurk down gently.

Unlikely hidden, but with no time to create his illusion, usul simply readies and shoots a bolt from his crossbow towards S1.

Attack: 19 Damage: 7

Usul looses a bolt right at S1, hitting it square. The creature had no idea that was coming and takes an extra 6 damage on top of the 7 he already took.

With that, everyone rolls initiative!

For now, neither Snurk nor Nalos is going to roll. If/when the villager heals them, they'll roll their initiative and we'll insert them as appropriate.

• Darla: 17
• Stanley: 9
• Usul: 12
• Villager: 8
• Sahuagin (both): 14
• Giant Crabs (all 4): 18
• Sailors (all 4): 9

Initiative Order:

1. Giant Crabs
2. Darla
3. Sahuagin
4. Usul
5. Stanley
6. Sailors
7. Villager

Round 1, Turns 1-4 - Beginning of the Giant Crabs' Turns

Giant Crab 1:

• Movement: it is moving 15' directly up in order to attempt to attack Sailor 1 (all the way on the left)
• Attack: 20 Damage: 2 
  • If successful, Sailor 1 has to make a DC11 STR or DEX save (DEX) or be grappled: 13

Giant Crab 2:

• Movement: it is moving 10' directly up in order to attempt to attack Sailor 1 (all the way on the left)
• Attack: 15 Damage: 4 
  • If successful, Sailor 1 has to make a DC11 STR or DEX save (DEX) or be grappled: 7

Giant Crab 3:

• Movement: it is moving 5' east and then 10' north in order to attempt to attack Sailor 2 (all the way on the left)
• Attack: 14 Damage: 7 
  • If successful, Sailor 1 has to make a DC11 STR or DEX save (DEX) or be grappled: 15

Giant Crab 4:

• Movement: it is moving 10' east and then swimming under the ship, 10' north in order to attempt to attack Sailor 3 (all the way on the left)
• Attack: 11 Damage: 6 
  • If successful, Sailor 1 has to make a DC11 STR or DEX save (DEX) or be grappled: 5

Crabs 1, 2, and 3 hit their intended targets, but Crab 4 missed; now Sailors 1 and 2 are particularly hurt. Sailor 1 is grappled by Crab 2.

Updated Map - Round 1, Turn 5 - Beginning of Darla's Turn

Giving a prayer to Lliira to keep her unconscious companion safe, Darla points her rapier at the Sahaugen(#1) straight in front of her, calling out mockingly, "Oi, ye scabby shite! If yer maws looks a whit like the lot of ye, I wouldnae ride'em in tae battle!" (Damage: 1 ), before running, hoping to draw the enemies attention toward her(three up, on diagonally to the right, and one more up).

Sahuagin 1 WIS save: 8

Sahuagin 1 has a bolt sticking out of his ribs in it left side and is now wincing from the psychological damage Darla just caused.

((So, you're putting Darla right above the villager?))

(two above and three to the left of the villager, between them and Usul, but closer to Usul, and further North)

👍 I'll update the map as soon as I can, then take the Sahuagins' turns.

((I'll post the updated map after the Sahuagins' turns so I don't have to do it twice in a row. lol))

Sahuagin 1, who is clearly unexpectedly hurt and bleeding, is going to throw his spear at Usul out of sheer anger. Sitting there behind the tree, we'll consider Usul to be behind partial cover.

• Attack: 8 Damage: 2 

The spear goes flying past Usul, and the Sahuagin yells in anger, "You will regret getting involved in this, little one!"

Sahuagin 2 moves to the left 5' and up 10' (standing directly to the left of S1) and attacks Sailor 1 with a multi-attack:

• Attack: 17 Damage: 3 piercing damage
• Attack: 20 Damage: 5 slashing damage

Sailor 1, who was being held by a crab and then just got slashed in the gut and then had his throat ripped out by S2's bite drops to the ground in a heap. He's dead.

Updated Map - Round 1, Turn 8 - Beginning of Usul's Turn

Usul peeps out from behind his tree, and launches another bolt at S1, who is engaged with the sailor.

Once again, the bolt strikes true, hitting S1 in the neck and causing it to bleed out. He looks at you in anger, agony, and disbelief, all at the same time. He is dead.

The map hasn't changed, then (except for S1 being dead). So, I won't post a map update, but...

It is now Stanley's turn!

Stanley is simply exasperated. Sweating from pulling the Triton along, and coming upon this scene, he feels agitated.  Gently placing the Triton behind the tree, Stanley decides to light more fires.  He starts with Create Bonfire right under the feet of Sahaugin 2.  ((Dex 13))  If failed - 7 

Sahuagin 2 DEX save throw (DC13): 2

Stanley, on the verge of a nerd tantrum ((lol...sorry, I'm just picturing this nerdy librarian type getting frustrated about dragging 125lbs worth of stranger up the beach and then coming upon another fight he doesn't want to be apart of...)), and lights a bonfire under S2, damaging his feet as he attempts to stamp it out while Stanley maintains concentration on it.

Next up are the sailors.

Sailor 2 swings his scimitar downward at Crab 1:

• Attack: 17 Damage: 7 

Sailor 3 takes a side swipe at Crab 3 with his scimitar

• Attack: 15 Damage: 5 

Both of the above sailors hit their targets. When sailor 2's scimitar hit the crab there was a loud *crack!* and part of the sharp blade was momentarily lodged in the shell before being pulled free.

Sailor 4 disengages and uses his movement to run to the boat, yelling, "Quickly, everyone! Get to the boat! Forget the creatures and run for the boat! The island is sinking!"

Next up is the Villager:

The villager rushes over to Snurk, being careful to stay out of the range of Crab 2's claws, and casts Cure Wounds on him, healing him for 6 points. Snurk is now awake, and still not quite fully healed, but he's functional. ((I already added the points to Snurk's character sheet.))

Next up are the Crabs...

Updated Map - Round 2, Turns 1-4 - The Giant Crabs' Turns

Crab 1 is going to attempt to pinch and grab at Sailor 2:

• Attack: 18 Damage: 7 
• If successful, the sailor needs to make a DC11 DEX save: 2 or be grappled
• Crab 1 lashes out with its claw at Sailor 2 and pinches his leg right on the femoral artery and the sailor bleeds out. He's dead.

Crab 2 walks 5' to the right, standing right on top of the dead body of Sailor 1 and is going to attempt to pinch and grab at Sailor 2:

• Attack: 11 Damage: 7 
• If successful, the sailor needs to make a DC11 DEX save: 16 or be grappled
• Crab 2 grabs at the sailor just as he's falling down from Crab 1's attack and he misses. 

Crab 3 is going to attempt to pinch and grab at Sailor 3:

• Attack: 9 Damage: 3 
• If successful, the sailor needs to make a DC11 DEX save: 3 or be grappled
• Crab 3 pinches Sailor 3 for 2 damage, but can't manage to grapple him

Crab 4 is going to attempt to pinch and grab at Sailor 3, as well, since Sailor 4 is now on the ship:

• Attack: 5 Damage: 2 
• If successful, the sailor needs to make a DC11 DEX save: 4 or be grappled
• Crab 4, wanting this to be over, and wanting to make its masters happy, puts everything it has into its pinch, and it pinches the sailor's leg off at the thigh, also causing him to bleed out from his femoral artery. Sailor 3 is dead.
