Chell
Vegepygmy
Sorrin gasps on pain! Argh! Keep the faith, Chell...
This was not going well. These things got the ambush and had successfully separated the group. Most of them were taking hits, she could see. And from what she heard they were walking towards a fight with a wereshark. Fo far she had been lucky and hadn't gotten hit but she also couldn't hit back well. But she wasn't sure if they should retreat or muscle on. "I...think we should retreat to the ship for now. I can give us cover that might help." she says hesitantly to Sorrin.
Sorrin slices again and hits the creature is still functioning, but it looks hacks up. Leaves are everywhere and there are chunks of woody material hacked off the plant.
sorrin risks two AOO to move to get in flanking position for Chell.

Round 3
Astrianna shouts in pain as she gets stabbed by a spear, gritting her teeth as she steps away from the blow, using her sword to turn the other pygmy's weapon away.
Wasn't expecting these damn leafy halflings to be so tough.
She sees that Embri is being threatened by one of the veggies and moves to cover her before beginning to sing a rousing sea shanty that she believes Chell will appreciate.
"It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog,
All gone for beer and tobacco."
None of that talk, priestess... Wrap your other hand around that shaft and show me what you can do!
Blushing at the double entendre, Chell does as she is told.
finally.
Worried about Astri being attacked by two of the buggers, Bri takes her sickle and attempts to trip one of them after taking a step up.
Flanking Example
When making a melee attack, you get a +2 flanking bonus if your opponent is threatened by another enemy character or creature on its opposite border or opposite corner.
When in doubt about whether two characters flank an opponent in the middle, trace an imaginary line between the two attackers' centers. If the line passes through opposite borders of the opponent's space (including corners of those borders), then the opponent is flanked.
Exception: If a flanker takes up more than 1 square, it gets the flanking bonus if any square it occupies counts for flanking.
Only a creature or character that threatens the defender can help an attacker get a flanking bonus.
Creatures with a reach of 0 feet can't flank an opponent.
You threaten all squares into which you can make a melee attack, even when it is not your turn. Generally, that means everything in all squares adjacent to your space (including diagonally). An enemy that takes certain actions while in a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity from you. If you're unarmed, you don't normally threaten any squares and thus can't make attacks of opportunity.
Reach Weapons
Most creatures of Medium or smaller size have a reach of only 5 feet. This means that they can make melee attacks only against creatures up to 5 feet (1 square) away. [However, Small and Medium creatures wielding reach weapons threaten more squares than a typical creature. In addition, most creatures larger than Medium have a natural reach of 10 feet or more.
I think you can threaten and flank with a reach weapon as long as you are 10 feet away (the extent of the reach). the flanking rules states you have to threaten the opponent and as long as Sorrin is in the opposite hex bordering the creature. Your weapon threatens more hexes. So I believe you are an exception to the flanking rule.
RD 3:
Bri - trips the plant
Astri - steps away and hits with her long sword
Sorrin - hit for 9
Adriel - hit for 7
Chell hits for 5 HP, I moved you to AQ:11 so he'd be in your reach. AQ:10 was out of your reach (12 ft technically)

Round 4
Astrianna nearly topples as her leg is stabbed by the vegepygmy on the ground, but she manages to keep her balance and shifts her weight off of the injured leg. "By Calistra I'm going to cut these bastards up and feed them to a horse! Bloody flaming cabbages!"
She takes her sword in two hands and attempts to brutally chop the prone vegepygmy into two pieces, hacking in time with her shanty.
"Spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
and across the western ocean I must wander..."
Chell continues backing up and attacking, unsure of what to do.
+1 weapon, duh
Sorrin looks to end the fearsome opponent. Then steps to flank once more with Chell.
Panting, he offers... Fear not, priestess! The Dawnflower and your Quell watch over us all, tonight!
Bri attempts to turn and trip the vegepygmy behind her, but completely fails to do so.
Astri's attack on the prone defender hits (-4 on it's AC).
Bri manages to hang on to her sickle after a sloppy attempt to hit.
sorrin finally manages to hack the leader veggy creature down, slicking through it's woody stalk, leaves flying everywhere.
One is down
One is injured and prone.
A third one has minor injuries.
Chell hits the plant. the puncturing nature of the weapon does some damage but not as much as she would have hoped.

i believe that hits correct?
You generally need only make a Fly check when you are attempting a complex maneuver. Without making a check, a flying creature can remain flying at the end of its turn so long as it moves a distance greater than half its speed. It can also turn up to 45 degrees by sacrificing 5 feet of movement, can rise at half speed at an angle of 45 degrees1, and can descend at any angle at normal speed. Note that these restrictions only apply to movement taken during your current turn. At the beginning of the next turn, you can move in a different direction than you did the previous turn without making a check. Taking any action that violates these rules requires a Fly check. The difficulty of these maneuvers varies depending upon the maneuver you are attempting, as noted on the following chart.
Round 5
Asstrianna growls in frustration as the plant creature tries to stab at her, twisting to get out of its reach.
She continues to hack away at the creature's extremities in an attempt to cut it into small pieces, ignoring the babbling noises it's making.
"Where are me boots, me noggy noggy boots,
They've all gone for beer and tobacco."
Frustrated, Bri takes a step over as she tightens her grip on her sickle and attacks the plant midget monster in front of her.
"Stop"
-2 to attacks for one round.
"hitting me."
The prone plant is smouldering, but it still jabs it's nasty little spear out in defense.
Adriel flies across AJ13 to AN13, maintaining his current elevation of 5ft
Now having a flank with Embrianna, the elf attempts to set her foe alight with his blade.
Stepping up to the creature distracted by Chell, Sorrin's movements are fluid as he lashes out.
Bri steps to prep for a flank but misses her attack.
Astri kills the prone plant...finally.
Adriel you are actually in AN:12 to flank since bri moved.

Bri strikes at the one between her and Adriel with her sickle.
Round 6
Astrianna gives a triumphant laugh as the prone veggie is cut into multiple, twitching, harmless pieces. Flourishing her longsword she turns to find the next threat, grimacing as two of the pygmies coordinate an attack on Embri.
"Bri!" The bard shouts as she rushes over to the witch's side, taking her sword into two hands and swinging at the nearest plant's head. All the while she continues to sing loudly and jovially.
"The leather's kicked about and the soles are all worn out,
And my toes are looking out for better weather."
It was difficult terrain but I let that slide because of my slow posting.
the extra 2 damage from IC, let sorrin kill the plant.
Astri hit and further damages the plant.
Adriel simply attacks the flanked plant thing.

His anger drives forcefully home...
"I don't have one," she says offhandedly, continuing the fight.

Scoundrel in priestess clothing... making me promise to buy you things already. They're all the rage, single-handed weapons. You'll need a shield as well.
I'd insist but it wouldn't be proper.
