After all, as long as he stays out of reach, what does he care how many arms a creature has. Seeing an opening as the tentacles busy themselves attacking Finnean and Cyrus, Ardens blasts the creature with another wave of searing flames.     Jesse from the back lines, felt quite safe. He decided to help the front lines, which seemed to struggling with the brute force of the Craud Crusher. Instead of casting a spell however, Jesse went into fits of coughs. As he stood straight, blood was trickling from his mouth. "Ugh, still in bad shape. Better get further." he thought. He hobbled along, stumbling once or twice, blood dripping from his chin.     Ixenvalignat lolls lifelessly in the claw of the oversized crab, unconscious, but still breathing (barely).     "NOOO LITTLE ONE DON'T DIE ON ME!!!" He shouts as he bounds to Finn's side and clutches the tiny halfling in his arms. He gingerly pours the potion down his comrades throat with surprising dexterity considering his paw is twice the size of the potion.     Still in the grasp of the crusher, Finnean decides the best course is to try to keep Cyrus up. He reaches into his pocket and grabs his own healing potion, which he drinks down. He then, even more carefully dislodges himself from the claw of the crusher, landing gently on the ground dislodging the last of the swarm from his body.     Cyrus shrugs off the surge of pain that the swarm of shrimp caused to him before lunging forwards once again to slash out at the Craud Crusher.     Seeing Damien run past and hop atop a higher chunk of exposed coral, the last craud impaler makes good of an opening and swipes at Ardens.     The craud crusher hisses through its carapace, angered by its meal’s (A.K.A. Finnean) escape. It tries to crush Cyrus with its claw.      [sblock=Enemy Actions]Craud Shrimp Swarm: dead     Craud Impaler 1: dead     Craud Impaler 2: dead     Craud Impaler 3: Move from V10 to W11; Standard: atk vs. Ardens: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3019352/" target="_blank">HITS for 6</a>      Craud Impaler 4: fled     Craud Crusher 1: Standard: atk vs. Cyrus: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3019356/" target="_blank">MISSES</a>     Craud Crusher 2: dead      [/sblock]     [sblock=Terrain, Please Read]Coral Atoll (whitish area): firm ground, not difficult terrain; if knocked prone, that PC takes 1d4 damage in addition to any other damage.     Coral Mounds (C7: D8; G10:H12; J10:L11; U7:V8; Y10:Z11; AB10:AC11): considered difficult terrain.     Submerged Coral (light green area): Consider one FULL square adjacent to the Coral Atoll to be underwater and difficult terrain, this also applies to the area between the two coral atolls. Depth ranges from 1 to 2 feet of water.     Deep Water: Beyond one square from the coral atoll is a 20-foot vertical drop to the sea floor.     Swimming:  Swim or Tread: (as part of movement): DC 10 (calm waters) If swimming north or south, every 2 squares of movement towards the coral atoll will slide you 1 square to the east. If swimming to the west, you can only move 1/4 speed. If swimming east, double your swimming movement.     Success: you swim half your speed     Failure (by 4 or less): you can’t swim any further as part of a movement action, but you are treading water  Failure (by 5 or more): you can’t move any further and you sink 1 square.     *NOTE: The sea grass becomes thicker as you move away from the coral atoll. The DC to swim increases by 2 for each square beyond the start of the Deep Water (EX: DC 10 - 1 sq away from the Submerged Coral; DC 12 - 2 sq away, etc).     **NOTE: There is no Athletics check to climb up onto the difficult terrain of the Submerged Coral areas.     [/sblock]     [sblock=Map] <img src="http://i.imgur.com/0QKPf.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]     [sblock=Combatants]Locations:  Finnean: T8; BLOODIED  Ixenvalignat: T7; BLOODIED; Unconscious (MADE Death Save - no improvement)  Cyrus: S8; BLOODIED  Damien: X9  Ardens: X10  Jesse:  AB8     Craud Shrimp Swarm: dead   Craud Impaler 1: dead   Craud Impaler 2: dead  Craud Impaler 3: W10 (on atoll)  Craud Impaler 4: fled  Craud Crusher 1: S7 (in water; difficult terrain)  Craud Crusher 2: dead     [sblock=Notes on Aquatic Combat]*Any power that has the keyword FIRE takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls.
