The Human is able to run up and attack the 🦀 pinching Blue.

Attack: 19

Damage: 2

The Human stabs at the crab, but the hard carapace diverts the tip of his dagger from anything vital.

The crab that has hold of Blue pinches at him with its other claw, and is joined by a second crab attempting the same, while one of the other crabs goes after The Human.

 ((How far distant would Big Un be?))

Blue, you're getting a bit more than you bargained for, and really don't like getting pinched... you feel your toes lift up off the sand, as a breeze swirls around you. ((You know you can cast levitate, and regain a Memory Die.))

I drag the sledge along effortlessly, following Talon's lead as where to drop it. Following along with what he is doing, I help gather leaves. Once complete, I nod approvingly.

"Well done. If I hadn't dragged it here myself, I wouldn't know it existed.  Lead on, my friend - you've the lay of the land much better than I."

I strap my axe to my back and walk with Talon through the woods, pushing aside branches and brambles with my shield.  I keep my eyes and ears open for any possible dangers as we travel, and prepare to intercept anything that may go after Talon.

Perception: 16 

Edit: autocorrect changed Talons name

Mark moves through the vegetation, making good progress and clearing the way for Talon, when he steps in something wet. Something splatters on his shoulder, and looking down, he sees a pool of blood... wiping his shoulder... more blood. Looking up into the crook of a tree, he sees an arm, blood trickling down the forearm to drip off the pinky.

A discarded pack lies at the base of the tree, among some ferns.

Big'Un will stay 100' back and shoot another fire bolt at the crab that has Blue attack: 15  damage: 1

yelling: Let him go or those claws will be roasting on our fire tonight

Stopping suddenly, I hold my hand out for Talon to stop where he is.  Lowering my voice some, I issue a warning while pointing to my discovery.

"Be wary.....It appears not all around here is friendly, and based on the fact it is still dripping this was not done long ago."

I approach the tree cautiously, taking a closer look at the arm, trying to determine the nature of the wound.  I then pick up the pack and rifle through the contents.

Medicine: 18

Investigation: 20 

Peeking over the top of the barrel she is hiding behind, she can see her companions getting pinched and bloodied by the crabs. Ember wants to be helpful, so will prepare for their return. 

Can Ember find any sail parts (fabric) to rip apart to make bandages? 

She will also try to sneak to the edge of the forest away from the crabs to look for any potential useable plants. Vines? Herbs?

Investigation: 17

Nature: 20

(Let me know if any other checks are relevant)

At Mark's warning, I lay low trying to hide and keep a lookout while he is investigating the site. I pull out the rapier.

Stealth: 18

Perception: 18

It's hard to tell, the arm is 20 or so feet up, and is the only part visible, but it's rather a lot of blood.

The pack is a bit damp, but seems to contain some rations, a lamp and some oil, a case of some sort and what seems to be a book wrapped in heavy waxed cloth.

A low snarl comes from somewhere nearby... to Talon's hearing, it is slightly behind them.

Ember prepares for her companions to return with injuries, and sets about establishing a makeshift triage. ((It'll take you more than 1 round to do that, so we'll just keep those rolls and apply them after the others are out of combat.))

I quickly drop the pack and pull out my battle axe.  Not immediately seeing Talon, I put my back up against the tree and drop into a defensive posture, attempting to determine the direction of the noise and preparing for an attack.

Perception: 4

(Assuming I'll need it) Initiative: 12

When Mark turns around, the bird fellow is gone. Talon must have left you here! 

((I'll take initiative from Talon too.))

Blue will indeed cast levitate, pulling the crabs with him if possible.

(If using the memory dice wouldn't be an action, he'll try to remember what kind of fighting style he's used to: 12)

(Moving the full 20 feet)

Initiative: 6

Big Un sends what amounts to a strong warning shot skipping across the first crab, but it still has a hold of Blue.

Initiative: 10

I dart my eyes around, taking as much in as I can, looking for any signs of my possible assailant or indications that Talon may have been dragged off.  I drop my body slightly, putting the weight on the balls of my feet, ready to move whichever way and DODGE any possible attack.

(OOC: Taking the Dodge Action)

((So, I goofed up the initiative for the first group, but didn't realize until Caladris asked about Mark's initiative in the chat. I forgot to add your modifiers! So Big Un and The Human both go before the crabs, so to get us on track, once The Human goes, crabs get skipped, and then Blue will levitate before it's back to Big Un again.))

Mark waits warily, but he isn't left in suspense as a creature bigger than him leaps from the brush, long teeth and vicious claws raking at him as it snarls.

Attack: 20 Damage: 15

Damage: 19  = 7

Its claws rake downward, buckling the beefy man's knees.. (Make a STR save, please!) 

Caught off guard as the creature leaps out of the woods, I move my shield to intercept, but judge poorly as the creature swings low and strikes my  knees.

Strength: 6 

Mark drops to the forest floor, getting rolled in the pool of blood as it hisses in feline anger as it bites at him.

Attack: 19 Damage: 11

The long upper teeth sink deep into his shoulder as it savages him, but while he is feeling VERY unwell, he's got the feeling that if he's prepared, he can bear down and withstand more damage if he gets attacked again. ((You have Stone's Endurance, and once per rest, can use  your reaction to reduce damage taken by 1d12+CON, and have regained a Memory Die.))

The big cat turns and leaps back into the underbrush. ((Mark, you can make and opportunity attack at disadvantage.))

Talon, you can see it's not going well for Mark, despite his new armor and weaponry.

As the cat turns to run, I push myself to my feet and take a swing at the cat.

Attack: 2

Damage: 2
