Those inside Anathema's grasp attempt to flee. Some are successful, some need help.
Wes, after bellowing the command to flee, pick up the buckler and 2! moves a few feet before tripping over a moderately sized rock! Renae had similar luck, tripping and falling on her face! Razuna 3! manages to yank out his Gladius and high-tails it out of Anathema's slowly encircling body. Fureira flees and helps Wes up.
"You're really clumsy!" she exclaims as you both move out of the encirclement.
Zuko sheathes his sword and starts to run out of Anathema's reach 5! after seeing Renae fall flat on her face, he slows down and hurriedly helps her up. They try to run together but Renae has a Twisted Ankle! The crawlers regain their senses and begin their charge as Anathema shakes it's head vigorously! In desperation to get moving Zuko sweeps Renae off her feet and carries her, moving at a brisk pace. However Anathema's encirclement begins to close off, blocking their path! Zuko feels true horror in his stomach that Renae and he might meet a painful end when Anathema roars in pain and retract it's encirclement, allowing Zuko to escape with Renae in arms.
Kairy 5! had quick-loaded an Angelous bolt and Armour Melted Anathema's wound! The blazing bolt disappears into Anathema's flesh and the sound of burning flesh exploding echoes inside Anathema. Anathema's body quivers as it's head thrashes about. Silky strands of flesh shoot out from the seems of Anathema's wounds, weaving together to close it. This costs Anathema some time, and all the crawlers stall for a turn. Gourd perches himself on Razuna's shoulder.

"Damnit, this thing just won't die! Wes! Use Soothe Wounds on Renae's ankle, quick!"
I stare at Anathema's for a while, pondering what should my next move be, giving the difficulties we had so far with it. Then, I muttered to myself:
"Alright Zuko... Think! How could we kill this thing sooner?"

Busy, I see? Well, maybe if I post some tidbits of Post-Game content so you guys'll be more eager, eh!? Well, have at you!
500 Points to Distribute between these four "Categories"
Maximum of 200 Points in each catergory.
Travel- How far you travel an how quickly. Sea Routes always take the same amount of time no matter how many points you put into this.
Wealth- How much Ceil, weapons, armor, etc. that you find and horde on your adventure.
FriendShip- How many friends you make. Neglecting to put enough points here might result in you making enemies instead.
Growth- How much you grow, either by learning skills, leveling up, or increasing your reputation. Low points may lead to a declining reputation.
Putting enough points into a category will net you a benchmark bonus.
So, I expect you guys to post your actions soon!

Oooh! Interesting! XD
Okay, here I go:
Travel --> 90
Wealth --> 110
Friendship --> 140
Growth --> 160
C'mon people! Post so we can soon figure out what's this! XD
EDIT: Wait... I think I know what to do!
--------------
After thinking for a while, I decided that the best for now will be to focus on the Crawlers so that they won't be a problem later. That way, I proceeded to charge to the closest group of Crawlers and use Reaver Slash.

You'll wanna wait for me to post the benchmarks before doing that.
I'm clumsy? I'm not the only who tripped and fell there... "Oh, right! S-sorry, zoned out for a bit... Renae, stay still for a moment..." I'll cast Soothe Wounds on Renae, while watching the others to see if they need help.
(How long is Ominous Caw's cooldown again?) "Ugh, are it's wounds healing? You guys think we could stop it from doing that, or should we target a different area of it's body?"

That's a good question Razuna/Wes! :P
Let's see... Seiromem, can we see how much and in which parts we damaged Anathema so far?

5 turn cooldown.
It's body is covered in bruises from the landslide and there's a noticeable line where the wound was.
All creatures have endurance.

"Hey, guys? It's a bit risky, but I was thinking I could try to cut through where it's healing, to stop it from doin' so. Problem is, it might just keep healing where I cut through..."
Sheesh, I really kept you guys waiting this time. I'm terribly sorry for that. I was inactive during the last few weeks, although I did take a quick look at the site now and then, and I didn't even notice the game had continued again.
I hope you're not too annoyed with me...
-----------------------
"Nice shot, Kairy. Looks like that really did some damage... Damn it, that monster can heal itself, too?! Should have expected that, I guess."
Since there's not use in me staying behind Anathema by myself, I run around it and back to the rest of the group. When I'm there, I hand Fureira her chakrams back. If I have enough time left, I'll also cast Welken Bolster on her.
"Look, it hasn't healed its own eye! Maybe it can't do that. Quick, now we have a chance to get the other eye before the monster is done healing! Razuna, tell Gourd to go swoop at it!"

"Right, will do! Gourd!" I command Gourd to swoop down and attack Anathema's eye as Kairy suggested.
(Glad to have ya back!)

With glowing hands Wes attempts to pump healing energy into Renae 5! and Renae literally glows with health! Zuko sets her down and she looks him in the eye and thanks Zuko sincerely. Her smile quickly fades as they look towards Kairy who is running towards them 1! when tentacle emerge from Anathema's flesh! They catch Kairy off guard and attack! 1! They lash out and cause Kairy to stop moving, but they never manage to hit her as Anathema became pre-occupied with Gourd, who is 4! tearing at Anathema's frantic eye! Anathema is busy once more! Using this Opportunity, Fureira rushes to meet Kairy half-way and retrives the Chakrams while Zuko attacks the stalled crawlers with Reaver Slash! 4! Zuko's blade glows as Zuko launches a devasting slice, mauling several crawlers and defiling many others. There appear to only be 11 more inside Anathema's grasp, which has opened. Everyone is filled with Hope as they are no longer Fear-stricken, They get a +1 to all rolls when near Renae instead of the bonus being nullified.
Once Gourd finishes tear Anathema's eyes apart, he flies straight back to Razuna. However, in Anathema's flailing, a stray tentacle smacks Gourd out of the sky! He plummets and slams into the earth a good distance away.
Surprisingly, Anathema abruptly ceases it's thrashing. It's body quivers as a hissing noise is heard by all.

I could feel that we were closer to defeating Anathema than we were before, but there were still Crawlers threathening our advance, so I prepared a ball of Dark Fire looking to kill as many Crawlers as possible!

So, Seiromem: Are you posting the benchmarks of the postgame later, then?

Yeah, during the postgame. That was just a taste of what's to come in an attempt to get people to post more often.
"I think we've almost got it! We can do this, everyone!" I'll distract the Crawlers and try to get them all in one area that Zuko can aim his Dark Fire at, to hit as many of them as possible. After that I'll try to slay any remaining Crawlers or distract them from the rest of the group.
Just a little thought wildwes, I don't really know well how Razuna's personality operates (and I'm not asking you to change your action either...), but I think he would at least feel something when his bird is friggin' smacked away! XD
