"Somebody get a bonfire between this one and the other one!"
Kirth
I am assuming a longish range one where a fire and then the pyrotechnics spell can delay the onslaught of beast number 2.....
Cricket lets off an entangle.
DC 14
Jaegr sees the second beast coming and attempts to end this one as quickly as possible
Status
AC increases to 28, Touch to 16 , CMD increases to 24, 0 Temp Hps
The monster, trampling even the tall sedge grasses, ignores Cricket's well-placed spell (Caspian is 15 feet back, inspiring, so he's OK).
Kelgan's turn (probably not going to use burning hands, I'd guess), then Jaegr.
Cricket attempts .... gets the Beastie from behind...DC 14
Caspian reconsiders since there is not enough time to use that this time he hopes Crickets entangle might allow them to reposition and do that....
Continues to inspire and hopes the first drake goes down before the second can arrive.....
Kelgan was prepared to unleash fire, but seeing the drake shrug off the firebomb changes his mind. He swings his glaive, looking to drop the drake before its mate arrives.
He will still harry the drake's legs to give Jaegr defense.

Wyvurn will attempt to flank with Jaegr or Kelgan, harrying the creature's opposite flank.

Round 2 so far:
1. Wyvurn tossed bomb
2. Cricket tried to entangle
3. Another drake appeared
4. Kelgan sliced with glaive
Kelgan's blow has heavily wounded the monster.
Next:
5. Jaegr, you're in a position to finish off the first drake, if you want me to keep your last post. Otherwise you can reconsider.
6. Dragon(s) act
7. Caspian
8. Tsarok
9. Wyvurn's flanking sword attack can happen, unless things have changed too much by then (they probably will have).
Jaegr finishes off the first drake with a pick to the head before it can grapple him, then moves 20 ft. towards the newcomer.
The first drake, being dead, is unable to act. Its mate trumpets in rage and runs towards you. Instead of applying a burst of speed, however, it stops 50 feet away and spits, creating a cloud around Jaegr, Kelgan, Wyvurn, and Tsarok.
Acid Damage:
The 10-ft. radius cloud around you counts as obscuring mist, limiting visibility to 5 ft. for everyone except Tsarok, whose mist sight allows his gaze to pierce the fog.
So Caspian, Tsarok, and then me. Got it. Can we tell if the cloud continues to be caustic?
Jaegr awaits the new dragon but instead gets hit by the caustic cloud. He manages to avoid the worst of it, but his vision get impaired by the lingering cloud
Tsarok coughs and chokes as the poisonous gases spread over them, but he manages to seal his nose-holes just in time and hold his breath through the worst of it.
Caspian realizes with his friends in the fog he is a sitting duck......
Caspian contines to inspire, and casts sanctuary upon himself, not wanting to end up an appetizer........
He blows his bagpipes to give his friends a point of reference in the fog......
Wyvurn has a feeling that the vapors will continue to eat away at flesh as long as they persist. Thankfully, Caspian's pipings and Tsarok's assistance can lead anyone out who wants to spend at least 10 feet of movement.
Caspian is now sanctuaried, and he maintains his inspiration on the others.
Tsarok moves 5 feet, beelining out of the fog, and calls to the others as a free action to help them get their bearings so they don't emerge in some random direction. He can still make an attack or cast a spell; That will end round 2.
After that, Wyvurn is up, starting round 3.
Then Cricket, then Kelgan, then Jaegr, then the second drake, if it's still alive.
Too busy gulping down the fresh air and trying to guide his new comrades out of the caustic fog to do much else, Tsarok barely has time to do anything but fire off a hasty and poorly-aimed spittle of electricity the way of the remaining su-nath-yee.
Round 3 begins: Wyvurn, you're up!
Jaegr will move towards where he last saw the creature and getting its attention once he gets closer (Double move that way)
Kelgan reaches out and shoves Tsarok behind the shield, protecting the lizard.
While the sorcerer blasts away at the Drake, Kelgan growls in frustration.
"Let us get out of this caustic cloud, Rock."
Wyvurn will move out of the cloud towards Tsarok. When he emerges he will take a quick survey of his surroundings and attempt to hide amongst the undergrowth somewhere between the second drake and the heavy hitting dwarves.
The drake's sight, attracted to movement, still fails to register Wyvurn's deceptively awkward-looking flat-footed shuffle, which nonetheless moves him at a fast clip across the landscape. Some 30 feet in advance of his original position -- within 20 feet of the monster -- the hobgoblin ducks behind some rocks and grass, 5 feet from the straight-line path the drake would follow on a charge, waiting to slash it as it leaves his threatened area.
Cricket -- your turn! (and don't forget about Wolvie)
Cricket adjusts himself on Wolvie's back and casts flaming sphere.
DC 14
Caspian is happy to see the flaming sphere and realizes that maybe he should one day have a long talk with that goblin about how flaming sphere is a spell that might make for a good combo with pyrotechnics....
as well as how far his allies might want to be away from it when it goes off....
Continues to inspire and watch the ranges carefully......
The dragon seems slightly annoyed with the ball of fire, while Kelgan gets out of the acid cloud and adopts a protective attitude in front of Tsarok. Meanwhile, Jaegr trots forward 40 ft., stopping 10 ft. in front of the monster with his pick held ready to strike.
The dragon, eager to confront this brazen display, takes a step forward and attacks!
Thankfully, Jaegr's new ceramic armor seems proof against the monster's fangs, and he is able to dodge the tail that tries to get a grip on him.
Caspian's up, then Tsarok.
Jaegr manages to hold off the dragon's attacks from landing but at the cost of his attack connecting. Cursing he prepares himself for another round of attacks.
Caspian simply continues to inspire seeing no real need to interfere in the situation as it is playing out....
Tsarok's turn.
Then Wyvurn (starting round 4),
then Cricket (I'm assuming he'll hit the drake with the flaming sphere again),
then Kelgan,
then Jaegr misses with his pick, as posted above.
If the dragon is still alive after all that, it can writhe all over Jaegr some more!
Wyvurn will attempt to tumble into position to flank with Jaegr. He will channel his ki in both his sword and fist.
Daze DC 13
The monster snaps at this new threat;
Appearing seemingly out of nowhere, Wyvurn dodges a nasty bite as he closes. He connects with his sword and follows up with a tremendous blow of his fist.
The monster is visibly injured.
Still waiting on Tsarok, then Cricket.
Kelgan follows the shaman out of the acidic fog, then curses.
"Damn. Forgot my steelband. Be right back."
Taking a deep breath, Kelgan darts back into the poisonous cloud, casting about for his crossbow - unwilling to let it get eaten like the grass.
Tsarok is pretty amazed to see Jaegr apparently impervious to the su-nath-yee's fearsome jaws. That seemed like a feat that no mortal being uninspired by the wisdom of the Great Spirit could ever achieve. He feels suddenly vindicated by his decision and luck to select these people in his mission, obviously blessed by the spirits that they were...
Of course, he's too busy being in awe to pay much attention to what he's doing, and his electrified dart sails harmlessly into a clump of reeds.
Cricket's ball of fire scorches the monster again, to little obvious effect.
Kelgan, go ahead and shoot your crossbow now!
Then we'll see if Jaegr can kill this one, too.
