The creature who burst through the soil is displeased at the appearance of the lobster, but contents itself with trying to drag Nymph underground.
It fails to retain hold of the ranger.
Go.

Ayre sends a spear hurtling toward the critter
Freed Nymph keeps hacking and chomping at the overly friendly bug.
A massive white lobster appears next to the beast, promting Galean to shout out to the others. "Woah!"
The crustacean begins clacking its clacky things at the creature, attempting to rend it to pieces.
The lobster begins rending the flesh of the monster as its futile attempts to get down with Nymph go to fault.
"Woo! Get him!", shouts Galean, charging the monster with his cutlass, missing completely, as the battle of the beasts unfolds.
What is this creature..., thinks Galean, as he realizes the fact that he, as the resident naturalist, should probably know something about it.
Yuki uses her bow again, but this time only one arrow to preserve her aim. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to help.
The creature isn't natural, that much Galean is sure of, but it matters not because Nymph's shortsword punctures the terrible creature and it shudders and dies.
The Brobdingnagian burrowing bug's bellicosity notwithstanding, you now stand in motionless in the field, waiting for the other shoe to drop...several seconds pass and nothing else seems to stir.
Relieved at her attacker's ending Nymph falls flat onto her back. "I. Hate. Shellfish." she growls out through heavy breaths.
cooking-edible?
You would not recommend it.
After taking a moment to catch her breath, Yuki tries to recover her used arrows, finding two still usable.
"I doubt that thing had any valuable stashed nearby, let's keep moving." She suggests afterwards.
Nymph nods stupidly in agreement before standing back up and following in behind Yuki.
Ayre and Rocky diligently search for treasure!!
in Ayre's nose apparently
Seeing Ayre and Rocky searching around for... something Nymph decides to help out, though she has no idea what she's looking for.
Nymph, you come across a body that has a vial with a light gray liquid in it. It catches the light like water.
Nymph cautiously pokes the body a few times with her shortsword before picking up the vial and taking it over for Ayre to inspect.
Is that a spell crafts or an alchemy check
+9 spellcraft +8alcjemy
It appears to be a potion of water breathing.
"I guess there was valuable stuff here after all!" Yuki says with a half-smile, "We should probably move on now, though."
Nymph nods before moving on.
You make your way along the shoreline, coming to a point where high cliffs surrounding a deep cove churning with dark seawater. The cliffs around the cove vary from 40 to 80 feet high.
"Woah! That's a steep climb...", exclaim Galean, seeing the cove. "I'd bet that would make for a sick pirate hideout, though, if you have a good navigator!", he continues, clearly meaning himself. "And, Nymph, please be nice to Moby, he's not used to be here in the warm weather, give him a praise now and again.", he grins, clearly meaning the albino giant lobster.
Based on the color of the water you're pretty sure there's no rocks below the surface. With a decent dive you'd be able to go straight down without climbing.
Arching a brow at the Druid Nymph turns to the great white lobster, if it's still here, and gives the creature a tentative thumbs up.
Turning back to the water below Nymph takes a deep breath as she allows her body to shift, fins and gills cutting across her body as she lets her shark teeth fall out, leaving a smile of humanoid teeth she shows to the others before jumping over the side.
Nymph successfully plunges into the water, the icy grips of the water pulling her towards a tunnel in the rear of the cove which was hidden from view.
swim
"Ah, well. Woooo!", shouts Galean, following the two into the water.
Yuki attempts to dive down after the rest, although not quite as graceful as the others.
After you plunge into the water, you turn and see Yuki belly flop into the cove.
Meanwhile, attracted by the plunges into the water, several of the goblin squids you are so familiar with swim up through the cove.
Cringing at hearing the loud smack Yuki's tummy made she looks over her shoulder to make sure the other woman isn't drowning before surging forth at the aquatic goblin things. With a mental note to offer Yuki a belly massage afterwards.
Ayre sends a spear at one

Galean begins summoning another one of his feathery friends , and a seagull's scream is heard.

Swim Speed A creature with a swim speed can move through water at its indicated speed without making Swim checks. It gains a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform a special action or avoid a hazard. The creature can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered when swimming. Such a creature can use the run action while swimming, provided that it swims in a straight line.
"Oomph, arrgggh, oooouch!" Yuki exclaims painfully as she hits some rocks on the way down.
Her desire to take a few moments to recover her dignity thwarted by the appearance of octo-gobs, Yuki swims as necessary to avoid cover penalties and fires an arrow into whichever enemy appears the most injured.
Galean summons a dolphin into the waters and Yuki's arrow hits home.
One of the creatures squeals as Ayre's arrow pierces it and the one Nymph attacks screams terribly as it dies, its blood floods into the water in response to her vicious attack.
The creatures surround attack the dolphin summoned in their midst.
Emboldened by her success despite holding onto the cursed nodachi, Yuki fires two arrows into the grindylow she has a clear view of, switching targets if the first arrows kills it.
