Oh great, crabs. I recommend not getting hit by the necromantic abominations if you can manage it, we don't really want to waste time patching up wounds.

Unlike the oh-so-distracted Archeologist who evidently hasn't realized that we're being attacked by crabs, I would like to fight the crabs. Let's start by trying to burst the Soak like a bubble. I'll shoot it from my full (8 tile, I think?) bow range and then use my movement to stay at my maximum range, because kiting in plate armor is hilarious.

Battle of the Crabs, Turn 1

Red Group

Fenil summons dark brambles in front of one crab swarm, while Reed fires bolts at the Soaker.

To-Hit: [3][1]+2+3 = 9 vs 11, miss!

The bolts strike the ground around the crab, throwing up impressive showers of sand but little more. Everyone else repositions or readies themselves.

...except Solun, who hurls a boomerang at the soaker. 7 - 6 = 1 Damage.


The crabs shamble into action. The shambler and render to the west both charge towards Inade, rendering themselves Off-Balance (cannot use Reactions) in the process.

Shambler: [4][1]+8 = 13 vs 6, hit! 11 - 10 = 1 Damage!
Render: [4][1]+7 = 12 vs 6, hit! 11 - 10 = 1 Damage!

Both screeching abominations slam into their victim with horrifying force, eliciting a pair of dull dings from the gargantuan knight's armored legs.

The southwest swarm has considerably more luck with the brambles, scrabbling forward and hacking them apart in a fenzy of claws. They continue pouring over themselves to get at the delicious treats beyond. All brambles destroyed.

The southeastern shambler charges Solun, likewise becoming Off-Balance (cannot use Reactions), while the southeastern soaker shuffles forward and then returns fire at Reed. The stream of water ricochets off the kokiri and hits Solun as well.

Shambler: [5][4]+8 = 17 vs 11, hit! 11 - 5 = 6 Damage. Solun parries (-50%), 3 Damage!
Soaker vs Reed: 11 - 0 = 11 Damage! [6][1]+4 = 11 vs 12 Vitality, secondary effect misses!
Soaker vs Solun: 11 - 5 = 6 Damage! [1][6]+4 = 11 vs 12 Vitality, secondary effect misses!

Neither is Soaked from being hit by an aggressive stream of water, at least.

Finally, the eastern crab swarm scurries forward, sprinting but unable to close the distance.

Spoiler: Red Group Battlemap (click to show/hide)

Yellow Group

Arquen steps a tile southwest, fires on the soaker crab, and then skeddadles.

[3][6]+4+4 = 17 vs 11, hit! 11 - 6 = 5 Damage!

The crab, none too amused, responds by shuffling forward a bit and firing a stream of water at Arquen's distracted comrade instead.

[4][2]+5 = 11 vs 10, hit! 11 - 0 = 11 Damage! Vulnerability to Water: +4 Damage!

The diminutive scholar is flattened instantly by the barrage, rolling through the sand like a ragdoll.

The shambler rushes towards the remaining threat, but can't make it all the way there.

[Glass]

Solun takes a step forward (moves 1 square down on the map) before lobbing his boomerang at the soak crab. (Note: Windup Strike, and the boomerang comes back to me.)

Undead crabs. Who came up with this? Who thought this was a good idea?

1 Willpower 2 Magic 1 Arcana 1 Perception 1 Influence 1 Perform 4 Discipline 5 Enchanting

2 Accuracy 4 Stamina 1 Nature 2 Agility 1 Command 1 Insight 2 Guile 1 Cooking

Appearance: Solun is slimmer than one would likely expect from a blacksmith, especially one who smiths in the hardy style of the Gorons, and relatively tall, as well. His skin is moderately tanned, and his hands and forearms especially have a scattering of old burns from smithing and tinkering. Since the shipwreck, his clothes have been restricted to his black undershirt, his scorch-stained leather apron, and a pair of brown trousers, as well as a dark red hood that one of the pirates had been wearing. Under the hood, it's easy to see some lightly-colored beard scruff; further up, his light-brown eyes sometimes gleam red when the light hits them at a certain angle, though considering that he tends to keep them in the hood's shade, this is rare. Curiously, what few strands of his hair escape the hood appear to be an odd pink shade.

Personality: Solun is a generally helpful person, which helps deal with the fact that most of what comes out of his mouth is usually either facts about the situation or sarcastic remarks. He seems to always expect things to go wrong if he's not watching over the process.
While smithing, he seems noticeably happier, and he's much more willing to engage in conversation and talk about his thoughts (especially on the topic of smithing, mechanics, or enchantment). Even during such times, however, he will clam up if anybody asks him about his past.

Rumors: They say...
...he's looking for the secret to ancient Sheikah technology.
...he hails from a secretive mountain clan.
...his home was destroyed by war.

EDIT: ...hello there, turn.


EDIT2: Current status of Solun is Helpless, with 0 HP.

EDIT3: I'd like to request a parry against the shambler.

[Egan_BW]

Taunt the Render, giving it a -2 to its stuff with absolutely no negative consequences whatsoever!
Then step Northeast and move 5 North.

Oh yeah, and use the Parry reaction if I'm attacked in melee. Obviously.

Rumors:
● The Shadesparrow family has a history of dealing with dark powers and has loose ties to the Yiga.
● When members of the secretive Shadesparrow family turn 18, they're sent off into the world to travel and experience on their own, to gather information and prove themselves.
● Isha was a child prodigy, loved by her family for her intelligence and will to learn.

Appearance:
A Shiekah teenager or young adult of limited stature, Isha doesn't seem much like the sort of person who could survive on her own. Though reasonably physically fit for someone her age, something in her posture or attitude makes her seem reluctant, uncertain.
She has quite long white hair kept in a bun, and as is normal for Shiekah, red eyes. She's fairly short, at 5' 2". She wears round spectacles, which are needed for her vision.
Also she talks in this accent.

Personality:
Isha is an inexhaustible source of naive optimism and positivity! Or at least, presents a passable front of the same. She is curious and clearly enjoys seeing and learning of new things. She is liable to complain a little about inclement weather or food of inadequate quality. She's used to getting at least a little attention and dislikes being alone.
In terms of combat, she prefers to avoid enemies or else destroy them as quickly as possible, minimizing risk. In a fight she follows orders and keeps quiet.

[syvarris]

((I asked Irony, and he decided to rule that Dark Brambles returns bound mana if destroyed by light/sharp, rather than fire damage.  The rulebook was ambiguous on this.

Also, Irony says we can go up.))

"Damn.  Everyone!  Flee north!  Parting shots, hit the ranged one if you can!"

Fire a Zola's fireball at the Soak.  9+5+(0.5*1)=14.5 damage, rounds up to 15.  Then move six tiles upward.

And parry, if melee'd.  Nope!  Egan pointed out that since staves are arcane weapons, not melee weapons, they can't parry.

Rumors:
● Fenil was groomed from a very young age to be a spy and assassin for her secretive masters, possibly the Yiga.
● Fenil is considered little more than a tool; valuable for her talents and power, but inherently disposable beyond them.
● Fenil conceals her true age through magic, to make her enemies underestimate her.

Appearance:
A somewhat short sheika woman, standing at 5' 4", whose intense red gaze betrays a calm violence sitting just under the surface.  Though she seems to be leaving her youth--she appears to be into her thirties--she's still quite beautiful, and willing to show it.  Her light armor hugs her form closely, and she proudly shows off her long, immaculately kept hair.

Her demeanor is aggressive and confident, almost imperious, but can flip at a moment's notice to a watchful silence, or a honeyed sultriness.  If one spends a great deal of time around her, they tend to get a sense of artificiality--that the woman's behavior is usually a precisely chosen act, rather than truthful expression.  It all seems genuine in the moment... but on reflection her emotions are simply too perfect.

Fluff:
An idealistic zora knight who tries to embody their conception of chivalric ideas as best they can. Standing nearly twice as tall as your average hylian even when not mounted, wielding a spear that is taller still, and clad all in shining armour, Inade cuts an imposing figure to enemies, and an inspiring one to friends. Their features are fairly average as zora go, with deep blue skin bordering on a dark purple and yellow eyes. They rarely smile and usually look concerned or worried, regardless of their feelings.
Born 80 years ago in Labrynna, they grew up idolizing the heroic figures of both zora and hylian legends, their martial prowess and virtues. They spent time among both races as they grew into adulthood and merged both martial traditions as they became the journey to knighthood. They were recognized for their martial prowess and selected to be a part of an expedition to Crescent Island to establish a colony. Disaster struck when half of the settlement inexplicably transformed into zola overnight, causing chaos from which only a few survivors made it out alive. Inade spent years living with the native Tokay people, but eventually struck out on their own again when sails finally appeared on the horizon again.

Rumours:
They once defended a ford single-handedly for an entire day, cutting down dozens of enemies and letting civilians evacuate.
They once were challenged by, and defeated, three Hylian knights in duels on the same day, befriending them all afterward.
They have spent months living among the Lizalfos tribes and have learnt their language.

Reed, taking in the results of his attack and the counterattack made by the crabs alike, considers the available data and comes to a conclusion. "Right. Time to leave."

Oh, he was still a Kokiri, fairy friend and all, but most Kokiri have more earthly interests then ancient lore, ancient history, modern history, and strange machines. As such Reed, unlike most Kokiri, spent most of his time exploring the ancient and molding ruins of his forest home, learning from the fading wall paintings and somewhat broken carvings, and discussing the secrets of magic with the fairies of the woods. And so things continued for an indeterminate amount of time, for the ever-youthful Kokiri was satisfied with his life. Until, that is, a traveler asked him a question.

"Huh. Sounds like you've learned everything you can here. What are you going to do next?"

That question left Reed unsettled from his normal routine, and haunted his thoughts. For on consideration, the traveler was right. Reed had learned all that he could here, and was no longer growing. In order to learn more, he'd have to... well, leave.

And so, eventually, Reed left his forest home, to travel the world beyond in search of new lore and new learning. In all honesty, it went wrong fairly quickly, given that Reed's barely been out of the forest for a year before, in response to rumors of ancient ruins in far away lands, he bought a passenger's spot on a ship only to wind up shipwrecked on this strange land, fairy friend nowhere to be seen after they'd been separated in the storm.

((...Okay, Happery, I usually try not to micromanage other people, but that's a really really bad action.  First, healing yourself with fairy's light is a bad idea on multiple levels.  It contributes nothing to your ability to survive, since everything we've seen attack does enough damage to oneshot you whether you have 5 or 3 HP, and secondly, it actively makes you easier to kill, because you have a feat which gives you an effective +2 to dodge when at 3 or less HP.  On top of that, it doesn't contribute to the fight; if you instead use Wizzrobe's wave on the soak, between your attack and mine we'd guarantee a kill on the only ranged unit, unless it has fire resist--and even then it'd be close to death.

If you want to selfishly survive, sprint 12 north so you're out of range of any attacks.  If you want to minimize our total losses, help kill the enemy mage.))

[Happerry]

(Fair enough point on the 'shoot the Soak', but in terms of Fairy's Light, uh... actually, healing me by two HP leaves me at three, which is exactly 25% of my health so Clutch Dodger would still be in effect. Also a fair point on the 'if it hits you will still die' thing though. I'll edit to Waving the Soak.)

[syvarris]

((Oh, apologies.  I didn't realize you had edited your health pre-emptively, and apparently wasn't paying close attention.  Kinda dumb of me, since I knew the soak did 11 per hit.  Thanks for helping kill it.))

[Egan_BW]

((That should be enough guaranteed damage to kill the Soak, so I'll change my action to something else. Again.))

[Glass]

Solun staggers back a bit after parrying the shambling husk's strike, before reeling after a massive blast of water to his gut.
We need to get the fuck out of here. My boomerang did nothing to that thing.
Following his own advice, Solun grits his teeth through the pain he's in, stows his weapon, and sprints 12 spaces north.

Appearance: Solun is slimmer than one would likely expect from a blacksmith, especially one who smiths in the hardy style of the Gorons, and relatively tall, as well. His skin is moderately tanned, and his hands and forearms especially have a scattering of old burns from smithing and tinkering. Since the shipwreck, his clothes have been restricted to his black undershirt, his scorch-stained leather apron, and a pair of brown trousers, as well as a dark red hood that one of the pirates had been wearing. Under the hood, it's easy to see some lightly-colored beard scruff; further up, his light-brown eyes sometimes gleam red when the light hits them at a certain angle, though considering that he tends to keep them in the hood's shade, this is rare. Curiously, what few strands of his hair escape the hood appear to be an odd pink shade.

Personality: Solun is a generally helpful person, which helps deal with the fact that most of what comes out of his mouth is usually either facts about the situation or sarcastic remarks. He seems to always expect things to go wrong if he's not watching over the process.
While smithing, he seems noticeably happier, and he's much more willing to engage in conversation and talk about his thoughts (especially on the topic of smithing, mechanics, or enchantment). Even during such times, however, he will clam up if anybody asks him about his past.

Rumors: They say...
...he's looking for the secret to ancient Sheikah technology.
...he hails from a secretive mountain clan.
...his home was destroyed by war.

Crab Disaster, Continued


Red Team

Isha blows raspberries at the render crab, then runs for it. [3][5]+3+3 = 14 vs 12 Concentration, hit! The crab screeches in unholy rage. Isha is now Distracting the Render: All foes other than Isha are Hard To Hit (-2 to accuracy rolls, spells and techniques no longer autohit).

Fenil hurls a fireball at the soaker before fleeing. 15 - 6 = 9 Damage. It is badly charred but continues to stand.

Inade kicks off the render, landing heavily before lunging forward again. [6][4]+2+5 = 17 vs 11 Evasion, hit! 10-8 = 2 Damage!

Reed hurls a spell at the soaker, finally bursting what's left of it like a water balloon. The sand around it is soaked and turns to quicksand. Soaker slain! He and Solun then book it north.


The two shamblers lunge at Inade with their menacing claws.

Left Shambler: Threatening Blow: 11-10 = 1 Damage! [3][6]+4 = 13 vs 12 Concentration, hit! Inade and Fenil are now Distracted by the leftmost Shambler.
Right Shambler: Threatening Blow: 11-10 = 1 Damage! [4][1]+4 = 9 vs 12 Concentration, no effect!

The render screeches in rage at Isha, then lunges furiously at Inade anyway. Claw Frenzy: [5][2]+5-2 = 11 vs 6 Evasion, Hit! [1][1]+5-2 = 5 vs 6 Evasion, miss! 11-10 = 1 Damage!

Despite its relentless assault, it somehow manages to completely miss the huge knight with half of its attacks.

The swarms then move in to feast.

The left one scurries towards Inade, largely blocked by the larger crabs, but a few pour through. Weigh Down: 5-10 = 1 Damage! [6][1]+4 = 11 vs 14 Vitality, miss! The knight is once against dinged by innumerable tiny crab claws, but their attempts to impede the zora's movement fails.

The right one flows towards the rest, particularly seeming to eye Reed, but their small, shambling legs can only carry them so fast.

Yellow Team

Arquen fires at the shambler. [3][3]+4+4+1 = 15 vs 9 Evasion, hit! 11 - 10 = 1 Damage!

The arrow plinks nearly harmlessly off its thick hide. You run for it. The crabs follow.

[Egan_BW]

Alright, the enemy no longer has ranged units, and all move slower than us. I propose that we can now safely sprint away until we're just out of their charge range (8 tiles) and pelt them with 1 damage rocks until they succumb, being dumb crab zombies which don't know how to outmaneuver us. This plan is safe and reliable, but might take a few turns.
So, autoresolve please? :3

Rumors:
● The Shadesparrow family has a history of dealing with dark powers and has loose ties to the Yiga.
● When members of the secretive Shadesparrow family turn 18, they're sent off into the world to travel and experience on their own, to gather information and prove themselves.
● Isha was a child prodigy, loved by her family for her intelligence and will to learn.

Appearance:
A Shiekah teenager or young adult of limited stature, Isha doesn't seem much like the sort of person who could survive on her own. Though reasonably physically fit for someone her age, something in her posture or attitude makes her seem reluctant, uncertain.
She has quite long white hair kept in a bun, and as is normal for Shiekah, red eyes. She's fairly short, at 5' 2". She wears round spectacles, which are needed for her vision.
Also she talks in this accent.

Personality:
Isha is an inexhaustible source of naive optimism and positivity! Or at least, presents a passable front of the same. She is curious and clearly enjoys seeing and learning of new things. She is liable to complain a little about inclement weather or food of inadequate quality. She's used to getting at least a little attention and dislikes being alone.
In terms of combat, she prefers to avoid enemies or else destroy them as quickly as possible, minimizing risk. In a fight she follows orders and keeps quiet.
