The red stridermander notes itself being the last member of its pack left in the lair and it roars in anger at the assembled heroes before spraying urine on the cave floor and savagely tearing into Nako...
...its jagged fangs rip viciously into the weary soldier helper, her life-fluids draining out as she collapses to the floor.
The enraged stridermander snarls and turns its attention to Dakoyo and scrambles towards him.
Go for Gazigaz!
"Yeouch!"
Gaz directs fire at the remaining stridermander and fires his pistol.
Making her weapon glow with extra zap-em juice, Quonx fires a shot at red and they yawns wide.
After the shot, she pulls out a mk1 serum of healing with one of her free hands.
Gazigaz's shot almost hits.
Quonx adds a bottle of volatile energized chemicals in liquid form (not for biological consumption) to her rifle that makes the underground darkness around her ebb briefly as her overcharged shot finds its mark. Seek immediate engineering help if your firearm experiences an erected charge lasting more than 4 hours.

Gazigaz
Nako blinks a few times, grabs the curve blade, and activates her hyper racial ability to stand up. She slashes at the Stridermander.
The stridermander attempts to strike at Nako with its feeding tendril as Nako circles around to flank it...
...and strikes the savage soldier but is unable to attach and grapple her!
The beast recognizes it being covered on both sides and hisses as it moves away to attack a single target...
...and it moves viciously upon Dakoyo!
It bites the meticulous mystic as ferociously as it can!
Gaz moves closer to the fight and keeps encouraging his allies to shoot the scary monster.
Full attack.
Instructional and heartwarming calls from Gazigaz keep the team combat focused on the stridermander that will not back down.
Quonx brings swift and fierce shots onto the brutish beast!
Nako takes a 5 ft step and swings at the Stridermander hoping to end this finally.
"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!"

The helpful heroes wipe away the copious amount of stridermander blood that cascaded everywhere from Nako's bombastic strike and note three bodies laying in the corner of the beasts' lair. Three pahtras are found on the animal skins and with a minor amount of first aid, the hunting lodge clients can exit the caverns with only a bit of assistance. The would-be hunters are a bit delirious from their ordeal but are able to mutter thanks to their saviors, especially when they emerge into the light of day.
Nakonechkin is relieved to see his crew when they appear at the cave entrance, going so far as to embrace them in one big hug. He then realizes that he has an audience and clears his throat with embarrassment. Syvatsolex is lucid enough to drive her vehicle back to Ewagadravona, mostly with aid from famed vesk inventor Elon Vusk's Veskla self driving system. Both groups arrive back at the city before dusk. Biconiamaca is similarly thrilled to see their friend and the customers who made it back alive. They hand over any promised reward on behalf of Gadraveech Tours. If asked, Biconiamaca promises that they will inform the city authorities of the newly connected caverns and deeper entrance into Gadraveech. Protocol dictates that the caves be fully explored by a seasoned team of spelunkers before they can be used recreationally. Biconiamaca jokingly suggests that the heroic scavenger crew should volunteer for the job, which is followed by Nakonechkin laughing nervously and escorting his employees out of the building. Such an adventure will have to wait for another day!
