Have faith in Xankarvo's ability to resolve the whole metal man issue in a grand magical gesture. It's how we solved our previous predicament, right?

Xan is...he's much harder to believe in, it seems. Despite his rather stunning series of successes as of late.
"Right, do something quickly now I don't like the way he's looking at me!"
Make the flames intensify! Melt the fucker!
Keep my distance/dodge if he attacks me.

You duck under a round house punch that looks like it could take your head clean off and press your hand right up against the statue's face. It's not easy, you have to stand on your toes. The fire, rather than burning your entire hand, instead instantly consumes your pinky, burning it to ash right down to the hand. The flame then gathers on your hand and, for a moment, intensifies. For a brief second the force and heat of a high power jet engine blasts out of your hand and straight into the head of the statue. The statue man is shot up, straight through the ceiling, leaving a charred hole in the roof.
"Did someone go overboard? I think we have a man... rock... thing overboard!"
Cut the damn ropes!

You charge over on your little dinosaur legs and leap up, wrapping your beak around it and biting down as hard as you can. You snip and slice through a good chunk of it and the tension on the other end finishes the job. Thats the last of the ropes attached to the thing, at least up here. Now then...about that crab-man.
Yell at the engine spirit to stop the warbeast.
You hobble over to the door and shout at the engine spirit, commanding it to stay and fight. But also to try not to crush your friends. Friends? Crew members.
The crab-man sees his statue companion get mortared out of the crew house and immediately charges towards it. Hyenakles is the first one in his way.

He grabs Hyenankles with his larger claw, crushes down and then hurls him aside.

He lands in a heap near the edge of the deck, leaving a smear of blood behind him. He's alive, but only just. The crushing has broken most of his ribs and a few vertebrae, and the claw has cut deeply into his flesh.
