Round 3-6
The yellow crab gets stabbed repeatedly and it tries to flee. Morre stabbing follows it.
Round 7
She appears out of thin air behind the yellow crab skewering it with her daggers.
From above you see Aukan chasing the crabs and looking for kills. Alexandria stands beside Nima protectively while concentrating on the spell.
Round 3
Davod will jump off the rock and help his fellow adventurers.
Round 2
Round 3
Davod jumps off the rock and moves towards the yellowed crab, his shooting starknife slices into the hard carapace of the crustacean finding a break in the armor. Alalhys takes two shots and they bounce off.
The crabs turn to try to get Sasha. Nope.
Round 4
The crab tries to get Sasha again. Nope, he easily dodges the claws as they come in to find her flesh.
Round 2
Nima shouts out from the protection of the fire, "Do I need to come heal anyone?!"
Round 2
he hacks at the crab, taking it down.
Round 3
He emerges from the flames and moves towards Davod. The unarmored giantkin easily dodges the swings of the crabs.
Round 4
He goes for a cleave on the two crabs before him, winding up his swing to make the blade cut along its path.
He hits the yellow crab first and cuts off three legs of the black crab taking it down.
Round 2
she emerges behind the crab and slashes her dagger into it giving Davod flanking when he returns.
(1d6 fire, 1d6 sneak, studied target)
Round 3
Davod rushes up to flank the creature cutting it with his starknife and she can continue with sneak as they are flanking. The crab falls before their attacks. After it tries to get Sasha.
(1d6 fire, 1d6 sneak, studied target)
Round 3
She steps out of the fire partially and brings her glaive to bear, stabbing it into the dark red hued crab. Cutting large holes into the crab as it falls to pieces.
Round 4
She cleaves the three crabs leaving one severely hurt as the others drop.
She quickly states a little frustrated, "There is no safe place for us to meet up. When Alexandria clears the area around her land and I will be there."
Round 4
Seeing Aukan defeat the yellow crab, Davod turns and double moves to get into flank with the last remaining crab not in the flames.
Taken aback by the rapid developments in the swirling melee, Vivi divine favors herself in round 2
-----------Round 3
and then applies her greatsword to various target she sees and which are engaged with her allies
-----------Round 4
It looks like all the crabs have been slain from the groups attacks.
Aukan nods and moves through the flames once more.
She nods and quickly follows Aukan.
She nods in response to Sasha and Aukan, then she states, "Nima you can come through."
She takes a few rounds to make sure the crabs are finished off and even pulls a pincer off before cracking it open to find the tender flesh inside. She holds up the sizzling meat and asks, "Anyone for some crab meat?"
"Oh yes! Please!" Davod answers the efreeti, rubbing his hands. "Ala'lhys! Come! There's enough for you and Khamsin!"
As the group gathers for food she channels the light,
Davod chuckles. "I don't know, Friend Ala'lhys. I did not ask!"
In a mock squealing voice, she utters, "No please dddont eat me!" She laughs, takes a bite and tears out some more.
She asks the pegasus, "Khamsin, do you need any more healing?" She looks over his wounds and if needed she expends a first level spell slot to cast cure light wounds.
With Khamsin all healed up she brushes his hair with her hand and pats him before joining in on the meal. She sits next to Ala’Ihys and asks, "Why do you serve the flame?"
Round 13 arrives and the fire wall dissipates. You can see the sand closest to the wall has been turned to glass and you can see the final crabs falling to Aukan and Sasha's attacks.
The suli wipes his face of crab juice. "Yes. This was a wonderful repast", Davod says, as he holds in a loud burp. "Thank you Lady Pharos for the food, and Lady Nima for the heals."
Nima helps Ala'lhys pick up and reclaim the arrows, as they continue to talk. She seems very curious if not unsure as well listening and when he finishes she asks, "Dawnflower? What or who is the Dawnflower?"
---
Later as the group is walking she points out, "So will Khasin just fly around and look for things to eat? If so I guess you will just have to stay in the back with me."
===
Within 40 feet of the fleece.
Davod walks up to Sasha and Aukan as they return. Aukan nods noticing that Davod was looking more at Sasha. He speaks in a hushed tone to her and she nods, then she shouts,
She pushes him and walks back to the group with a smile.
She is trying to blow him off covering what he was trying to say to her. Obviously from her smile it was something else. She says quietly, "Good. I am glad. Being a rogue it is."
===
Within 35 feet of the fleece just kitty corner to Aukan.
As the group rallies to continue to the near by fleece Aukan stops the group asking, "Okay we weren't with you at the start of this place. What have you fought so far? Is the random creature attack normal? Uh, Davod it looks like you will be flying solo from now on, so sorry 'Carpet'. Well Ala'lhys do you think Nima can fit on your pegasus with you when we move out from the fleece? Sasha and I can stay on the ground and trip up anything that is on the ground. Davod has his carpet. Alexandria can carry Vivi. Yeah that should do it. Okay with that settled let's check out this fleece."
He leads the way once the conversation is over, with Sasha in his wake. Soon enough they get within 30 feet of the fleece.
Looking at the magical rug its frayed edges have finally weaved back together though he is much smaller than before.
Carpet comes up to Davod and takes off his ring and replaces it with another one. Then the magical ring is pushed over one of its tassels.
---
A Hydra of some type and a sand alligator? I dont know if thats how they are actually called.
Vivi gives the blow by blow of the first fights.
"So before anyone lands, we need to clear the landing zone!" He points out.
Davod is started by outburst, then mildly embarrassed. "Desna..!" The suli mutters to himself as he return to Carpet.

Looking at the magical rug its frayed edges have finally weaved back together though he is much smaller than before.
Carpet comes up to Davod and takes off his ring and replaces it with another one. Then the magical ring is pushed over one of its tassels.
"Oh! My poor Carpet. Are you alright? I'm so sorry!" The thief says mournfully, as he reaches out and hugs his animated fly rug. "Hopefully, once we get pout of this place, we can find someone to help fix you."
✩✩✩✩✩"Careful! Some snakes have made a home in those coins", Davod warns.
She says the name slowly to make sure she is saying it correctly, "Sa-ren-Rae?" With the correct pronunciation she seems to giggle then explains, "I did not know the flame had a name. Thank you for this Alyhis! Now it seems I will be able to praise her more properly."
As he talks about getting chain for his mount, she offers, "Tomorrow make a wish with Alexandria to have up to a magical suit of chain armor for him up to 25,000 gold in value."
"No, look at Sasha's face. She is likely having a good ole time and just covering up what he really said. She is a sly one. Oh you likely didn't know, Sasha and Alexandria are my sisters."
"Ah excellent! Yes that sounds just great!" He calls back to Alyhys.
As Davod rises into the air with the compact-size Carpet, the thief looks around for the missing DJyn.
At Davod's mention Aukan stops and asks, "Anyone know what this tree is? It appears to be an abberation of some kind but my mind isn't working."
The roper is an ambush hunter. Capable of altering the coloration and shape of its body, a roper in hiding looks remarkably like a stalagmite of stone or ice (or in low-ceilinged chambers, a stony or icy pillar). In areas without such features to hide among, a roper can compress its body into a much more squat, boulder-like shape. The strands it extrudes are not flesh but a thick, semiliquid material similar to partially melted wax but with the strength of an iron chain and the ability to numb flesh and sap strength. The roper can manipulate these strands with great finesse, and can fling them as far as 50 feet to snatch objects that attract its attention.
Although alien and monstrous in shape, the roper is in fact one of the most intelligent denizens of the deep caverns of the world. They do not form large societies (although ropers can be found living among some deep-dwelling denizens like the intellect devourers or neothelids, with whom they have been known to sometimes ally), but often congregate in small clusters. Particularly interested in the philosophy of life and death and the finer points of the more cruel and sinister religions of the world, a roper can talk or argue for hours with those it initially sought merely to eat. Stories speak of particularly skilled debaters and philosophers who have been kept for days or even years as pets or conversational companions by roper clusters, but in the end, if such pets don’t eventually escape, a roper’s appetite always wins out over its intellectual curiosity—especially in cases where pets are constantly outmaneuvering their keeper’s wits and patience.
She stares down at the creature and waits ready to pounce.
"Ooo!" Davod remarks. "So THAT is a roper, eh?"
Looking around, seeing how the majority of the party is already in the air, the suli adds, "We could just fly away from it."
Within 40 feet of the fleece.
The roper's hidden eye opens revealing a golden glowing dark grey iris. It's mouth opens as well as it says, "Ahhh so you saw through my disguise. At least you are cautious otherwise you may slipped into my trap. This golden fleece is wonderful!"
Any of you may act in surprise round, Though it has not attacked yet or even really been aggressive.
Aukan and Sasha are on the ground in the lead. Next comes Ala'lhys with Nima behind him. Vivi is somewhere among them. Finally Alexandria pulls up the rear. They are all walking.
The Suli is the only one airborne.
"Uhhh yeah... so are we good? We were looking for the golden ram have you seen it recently?" He utters as he is not the most eloquent in word usage.
Whereas she pipes up, she graciously states, "Do forgive Aukan, he is rather forward and straight to the point. I am Sasha, what is your name? How did you come by such a wonderful fleece? What does it confer to you?"
