Windlass sends a blast of thunder energy out, slamming into 3 of the 4 crabs near her. All three are blasted back from her ten feet, landing near Xerronios. One of those crabs does not get back up, while the other two shake themselves and are still alive. Not certain what your reaction was, the tooltip did not work, so let me know when it comes into play...
Kanlos
Kanlos sends an arrow slamming into the hulking crab dragging Io away. The bolt drives ind eep, crippling one of the crab's legs, but it remains up.
Io
Io still is unable to find a chink in the crab's shell to get his sword in to anything soft. He does heal himself for some vitality though as he casts a spell.
Crab2
Shaking off sand, the crab gets up from where Windlass blasted it with thunderwave. It is still frightened of Xerronios, so moves away from him and towards Windlass again. It tries to grab her with its claw... Xerronios can have an opportunity attack if you wish. Even though frightened still, the crab goes after Windlass... To hit, with disadvantage, is a 13, damage, if it hits, is 6 and Windlass would be grappled.
Crab 3
Crab three goes to attack Xerronios. If sanctuary is still up, I.E. Xerronios did not use the above opportunity attack option, then the crab just clicks its claw in frustration, unable to get past the sanctuary spell's affect. If Xerronios did use the opportunity attack, then the crab would be able to attack this round... To hit is a 14, damage is 4 and Xerronios would be grappled.
Hulking Crab
The hulking crab feels Io moving to attack it, so clamps its claw tighter around Io as it continues skuttling away from the others. To hit is a 24, damage is 18. Io is pulled another 30 feet North, away from the main group. This puts him 105 feet from Kanlos's current position, and half-way hidden behind one of the wrecks.
Xerronios
You are up. Io is still being dragged away by the huge crab, but the one you did not scare with your roar last time is right next to you. It is your turn to act.
Ah, the tooltip not found error was shield -- won't go back to edit in case we get the red banner of doom. Seems like nothing hit, so it's not relevant. And if she really got all the crabs surrounding her away from her, she'd move around them towards the hulking crab carrying Io, to try to get away from them and also position herself to be useful to help him.
Strumming quickly on his Doss Lute, Xerronios sings out, "The eyes are fools, trust them not my lovely crabs, but Kanlos listen to my words!" With that, he shimmers from sight and then takes off after Io.
ooc: He casts Invisibility on himself then runs after Io. Uses his Bonus Action to give an Inspiration Die (1d6) to Kanlos.
Xerronios plays music and then vanishes, as he sends inspiration to Kanlos. Sandy footprints then move towards Io.
Crab4
Crab4 is still next to Windlass, she had 4 on her previously, but blasted 3 of them away from her. #4 was not in the area of the thunderwave spell. That crab tries to grab Windlass with a claw, but misses.
Windlass, Kanlos, and Io
Io is far to the North and a bit East now, half-way behind a ship wreck. Xerronios has vanished, turning himself invisible. Three crabs are left in the sand around Windlass, one in melee with her, the other two likely to be shortly. Kanlos is 105 feet from Io currently, and the crab has half-cover as well from Kanlos's current position. He can move North and get into position to shoot at the hulking crab, but that will also put him closer to the 3 remaining other crabs.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Windlass casts toll the dead on the crab still in melee with her for 3 necrotic damage on a failed WIS 16 save. She thinks absentmindedly that necrotic damage likely does not do much for the taste of crab.
Windlass causes a bell to toll for the crab nearest her. The crab takes damage as it fails to resist the necrotic sound.
Kanlos
Kanlos stays put, calling on his long work at hitting targets no matter the distance or obsticles in the way. His arrow flies true, slamming into one of the chinks in the crab's shell. The hulking crab is still up, though sorely injured now.
Io
This time Io does find an opening in the shell to strike, dealing damage and healing himself for 5 hp. The whirling blades he summons though are unable to do the same, finding nothing but too-hard shell to hit.
Crab2
Crab2, with no one nearby, scuttles back to Windlass and tries to claw her. It misses though.
Crab3
Also with its target gone, crab3 moves to attack Windlass as well. It too misses its attack.
Hulking Crab
The hulking crab pinches down on Io again, trying to stop him from hurting it further... To hit is a 13, damage is 17 if it hits. It continues to move to the East, putting the bulk of the ship wreck between it and most of the group. It now has full cover from Kanlos's current position.
<h2Xerronios You left the smaller crabs behind and have moved to the North. You can still see some of the hulking crab that has Io, as you are far enough north to see around the wreck a bit. It has half-cover from you currently, but you can move to have full line of sight if you have something you wish to do at range.
Io's thick golden armor prevents the claws from digging into him. The pinches but fails to do any damage to Io.
(Assuming Io can talk when it's not his turn and he can see Xerronios. If he can't do the thing mentioned, ignore the rest of the post)
Io will shout out hoping Xerronios can hear him. "I have this big crab under control for now. Help the others. Then we can gang up on this crab when their numbers are down and we have the upper hand!"
Io cannot see Xerronios, as Xerronios is invisible. Io would have to say if they make the speach even if they cannot see Xerronios. Nothing prevents him from speaking, so it is up to Io if he said it or not. He might just call out as he has seen arrows hitting the crab and can figure at least Kanlos is still attacking the hulking crab. will leave it up to Io though.
I forgot that Xerronios was invisible. However, I think Io would have at least seen him Cast his spell to become invisible so he will make that speech in spite of not seeing Xerronios.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Xerronios halts his pursuit of Io and returns to the others, shaking his head. He stops when he is 30 feet from the nearest crab. "You're shell is thin and weak, and your claw smaller than a beak!"
Xerronios moves back to face the smaller crabs, shouting an insult at one of them. The crab seems unphased by the taunt though. (Made Wis save.) As he calls the insult Xerronios becomes visible again.
Crab4
One of the crabs tries to grab Windlass with a claw, but misses.
Windlass, Kanlos, and Io
You three are up again. Kanlos does not have line of sight on the huge crab any longer. The smaller crabs are all around Windlass. Io is still in the claws of the hulking crab.
Assuming it's Io's turn. Io tries to drain the life force from the crab that's carrying him away again. He jams his vampiric sword into the crab.
Action: Vampiric Touch effect: 11 Dmg: 12 Necrotic. On hit, Io will recover HP equal to half the damage dealt.
Io will use BA to healing word himself 3rd level: 9 HP heal
Kanlos will target the larger crab carrying his companion.
Attack: 20 Damage: 22
Need Windlass's action still...
Windlass tries to angle a thunderwave at as many of the crabs as possible, without getting an ally. 9 thunder damage on failed CON 14 save.
May use reaction to either do [Tooltip Not Found] or wrath of the storm, depending on what's coming.

Io continues to try and stab the crab that's carrying him off.
Vampiric Touch: 23 Dmg: 10 Necrotic
On hit, Io will heal HP equal to half damage done.
He then summons his trusty twister of spectral scythes right on top of the crab to slash it up.
BA: Spiritual Weapon: 25 Dmg: 11 Force
Windlass casts toll the dead on the crab still in melee with her for 3 necrotic damage on a failed WIS 16 save. She thinks absentmindedly that necrotic damage likely does not do much for the taste of crab.
Kanlos fires another arrow at the hulking crab.

You three are up again. Kanlos does not have line of sight on the huge crab any longer. The smaller crabs are all around Windlass. Io is still in the claws of the hulking crab.
Io continues to drain the life from the big crab.

Meanwhile the whirlwind of ghostly scythes slash across the Crab's shell and look for openings where the blades can sink into the crab's flesh.
