The dragonborn draws his sword, "You there! You look good enough to eat!" With that, the draconic warlord charges at the closest crawdad, dealing it a decent blow. Damien notices a huge crab with giant pincers approaching Cyrus. "Dibs on the big one!" Damien shouts "They are all big ones!" he hears from one of his comrades "Exactly" as Damien sports a big grin.
