The crocodile Crunches down yet again with it's giant Maw and blows the breath completely from Calains lungs.
The bite broke multiple ribs and he was coughing blood but for some reason the thing let him go.
He could barely stand and he considered withdrawing... he was faster than his allies and could get a bit of distance up the bank but that would leave Arrgh right in front of the crocodile with no protection.
He needed to be the last to leave. He was right in front of the Croc and his allies would die if he fled first. But Crocodile was massive and had not left the river. Perhaps the Swamp trees up on the bank made it too difficult to move freely.
RUN! All of you. NOW! To the tighter trees. It might not be able to follow!
Aggrah was about to cast a healing spell on the barbarian but before she can do so he yells out calling for a retreat... She obeys the order and runs to the trees all the while thinking about how nice the croc boots would have been
Bradan follows instructions, moving away from the fray while loosing a single arrow.
PBS, Precise Shot, Desdly Aim, Inspire[/dice] to hit, for damage
Moving like he did, his shaft goes wide and completely misses the reptile.
"Calain, hes gonna kill ya! Get away!"

*I'm not sure which save you needed.
With Arragh and Bradan at least heeding his warning, the Barbarian uses the WITHDRAW action to move directly away from the Crocodile and back to the trees, trying to put a thick trunk or 2 between himself and the best so it couldn't charge if it left the water.
He could have but was not prepared to run past Arrgh and leave her unguarded.
He calls out to Ms Turner and all the others.
Get back here away from the water!
To Arrgh he puffs, and coughs up blood again, trying to hold his guts in with hands that were covered in his own blood.
Think my lungs are bleeding
Poke Poke pokes at the large lizard
Dr Tes bonks the croc on it's head causing it to have a headache. Poke Poke jabs and slashes at the thick croc hide but his small blade hits home.
Calain withdraws as his comrades flank the crock, giving him time to withdraw and heal up.
The croc bites at the goblin, ; ;plus grab.
then it thrashes it's tail at Dr Tes, ;
The little goblin is firmly in the jaws of death, while Dr. Tes gets swatted away like a gnat.
Poke Poke gushes out blood as the croc crunches down
to hit, PBS, Inspired, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, for damage
to hit, PBS, Inspired, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, for damage
Bradan holds his position as PokePoke gets grabbed, loosing one well placed shaft while the other sails wide of the croc.
"I'm doing what I can, get away from the damned thing!"
The arrow hits home and the croc looks back at the safety of the mucky water. the crock does look badly injured but it is still alive.
Mrs Turner and Milo withdraw to safety, leaving only Dr Tes, Poke Poke, Ulfrec and Geri in harms way.

Beorn keeps inspiring 10/12
And throws his dagger at the croc
Calain feels the healing from Aargh's spell knit alot of his wounds, yet despite this he was still badly bleeding.
He sees the stupid goblin get snatched up in the Maw of the Giant Croc and curses. Why didn't the fools move away?
He had an oppourtuniy while the Goblin was being chewed, however so he rushes back in, drawing his Lucerine Hammer from his back as part of the action (he was not going to let the large animal swat him with the tail by trying to close)
He stops short and use the Reach weapon to attack the Croc again, trying to spear it in the heart with the spike atop the Lucerine Hammer as the creature raises it's head to much the Goblin.
The Barbarian roars. GORUM! and drives with all his might into thick hide. Despite the resistance of the folded leather his arms flex and bury the tip of the spike deep into the Croc, hot blood erupts from the wound and he twists the shaft trying to tear the wound open and allow it's lifeblood to flow......
Beorn's dagger bounces off the thick hide of the croc. Then Calain moves in and shoves his lucerine hammer deep into the croc's chest. The raging human roars with battle rage and the croc twists and turns in tremendous pain while the goblins dirty legs flail and kick. Then as suddenly as attack began, it ends with the enormous prehistoric reptile slumped on edge of the water. Boots for everyone...

Calain takes a brief moment to inspect the thing is dead and spits in his hands and grabs the Maw with Taloned fingers (dropping the Hammer). He Moves swiftly and inserts his fingers between the Jaws and wrenches them apart with a great heave
The jaws nearly snap apart at the broad man's strength, but he collapses after the effort as he dismissed his Fury and lay on the muddy bank, Fatigued from his efforts and still bleeding alot.
Laying in his back, he listened for the goblin to (probably) slither his way out.
*Huff*...Forgive my...*Huff*....not waiting for you to call for help pipsqueak....*Huff*.... I figured I wouldn't be able to hear you call from inside it's guts......Next time..if the big fighter calls you to flee. You flee. Can't stab it in the back if it's looking right at you.
"Wow, would you look at the size of that beast? Must be 15, 20 feet long if it's an inch! Its damn lucky neither of you lads were snapped in half by it."
Bradan moves to recover any of his shafts that missed, then draws his knife and heads towards the critter for skinning and butchery.
"No sense in letting the mest go to waste, and this hide would make quite tough leather. I say we take about and heal up while Ulfrec and I prep the beast for travel. Any objections?"
Ulfrec holds his whip, waiting for something else to jump out of the water or otherwise...

"We had it until you ran away Grumpy. If you would work as a team like Dr Tes and Poke Poke we'd all be a lot better."
Poke Poke eye up the croc. "Doctor give me a hand." and starts cutting the head off. " this will make Poke Poke a nice helmet."
"No sense in letting the mest go to waste, and this hide would make quite tough leather. I say we take about and heal up while Ulfrec and I prep the beast for travel. Any objections?"
Hearing Stinky say this and feeling the blood loss. Poke Poke decides it my be better to let the long shanks and short shanks do the work.
Poke Poke pops out one of the crocs eyeballs and shoves in his toothy maw, then walks from the waters edge and collapses.
"Helmet? That things big enough to make a goblin-boat, PokePoke."
"We had it until you ran away Grumpy. If you would work as a team like Dr Tes and Poke Poke we'd all be a lot better."

And you also could have moved up the bank like I told you and not almost got swallowed. Crocs are ambush hunters and rarely leave the water I'f their prey is not pulled in after the first strike. Ask the Ranger. I might swing a hammer for a living but I'm not stupid. We could have moved into the trees and shot it from a distance. Instead you stayed in melee with something that could swallow you whole that you didn't need to. Genius plan pipsqueak.
Duncan was still getting his breath but started to gather himself to stand. One bothering to read into his words might notice despite what was coming out of his mouth the man did not appear angry and was in fact smiling.
Hahahaha. Oh, gods. Well, you did give me the opportunity to stab it's heart. Looks like goblin makes a fine distraction for monsters. Well done Poke Poke, sound tactic. I'll remember your genius should you complete the move again. Take care I am close enough
though, otherwise you might be holding your breath uncomfortably long while we cut you out of the stomach
Calain was imagining dangling the goblin from a long pole like a worm on a lure, but for much bigger prey.
"Well Grumpy next time Poke Poke and Dr. Tes will just leave you in the croc's mouth, or the zombies, or whatever you decide you can fight your byself. You're welcome for saving you again."
Exhausted from the humans annoying "grumpy" banter Poke Poke lays back, shuts his eyes, and rests a bit enjoying his croc eyeball treat
Poke Poke and Calain are now Croc buddies with matching maw marks.
Nothing else jumps out or troubles you as you prep the 24 ft croc.
Beorn casts a CLW on himself,Poke, and Calain
