Longtooth's sword suddenly appears in his hand. He dodges around behind the monster attacking Mother Vorst, barely avoiding a bite. His first swipe back doesn't connect and puts the beast on it's guard.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

longsword v red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Morther Vorst whacks the beast on the head from behind hard with her iron symbol of office, before moving to the south.

iron rod v red (flank): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
THREAT!
confirm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 additional damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The Hedge Maze (EVERYONE Edition!)

Alia's sword flashes in front of the creature's snout causing it to flinch.

Terrified the little dog tries to hide in among the party scampering under the group's feet barking.

Durgan dodges the strikes, then retaliates at the nearest beast with his axe.
Attack vs Yellow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

He is somewhat relieved to see how capable Mother Vorst is in combat.
She's got a much better attack bonus than he does. Higher level, we know.

Durgan lands a glancing blow against the monster. It stops ann looks at him and in the dwarf's own voice says "Well, that wasn't very nice, now was it?"

... Darn these things were surprisingly hard to hit.

"Illthir, can you use your song again?"
With so many fighters on our side, it seems like its effect would be very significant. Next round? Not sure how many rounds you have left.

Serena closes to assist Longtooth, slashing with her scimitar.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Alia sidesteps the assault, to draw the creatures attention further to herself, and give Alak Dool some space to launch another fusilade of magic projectiles.

"So your choices are: strongly agree, somewhat agree, neither agree nor disagree, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree." explains the devilish little poster to Fergus.

Matheus duels with the beast to the party's east.

rapier v Pink: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 miss

Kozen fires off another magic missile from his wand past the fighter.

magic missile v Pink: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Mother Vorst steps in with her mace to aid the rear guard. Her iron rod bangs off of the creatures head again to the sound of ringing metal.

iron rod v red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 hit

Then Longtooth stabs the monster from behind.

longsword v red (flank): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 damage (sneak attack!): 1d8 + 3 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (4, 1, 1, 3, 4) = 18
THREAT!
confirm?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 additional damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 hit, crit

"YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP!" Jewel continues to bark and getting underfoot.

Fergus, distracted answers with the most non-committal answer he can.

Neither agree nor disagree Before moving up and striking at red.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5) + 5 = 14

In the maze's heart the gang of Dools drops their "shield" and draw their lightning-shaped wands. With a flick and word they let loose a blast of lightning at such close range that everyone's hair (aside from their own greased back hair) stands on end.

lightning bolt v Green: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3, 2) = 12

Green reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

The creature dodges aside with its flank tanned.

Fergus, distracted answers with the most non-committal answer he can.

Neither agree nor disagree Before moving up and striking at red.

Between Serena and the Reverend Mother there is not enough room for Fergus to score a hit with his giant sticker. The ladies provide soft cover.

The leucrotta redouble their efforts.

yellow bite v Durgan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 miss
yellow hoof v Durgan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 miss

Serena moves to flank, if possible. If not, ignore the +2.

Serena w/scimitar vs. Leucrotta: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Durgan praises dwarven craftmanship and Alia's enchantments as his armor holds. He continues to hack at his foe.

Attack vs Yellow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Taking it down slow and steady, the dwarven way.

Alia's frosty blade darkens into rime-covered black steel as she stabs at the creature once more.
Black Blade strike, +2 damage for a minute or two.

The mob of Dool's point their wands at the beast (and dangerouly close to Alia) and let fly another blast of electricity, but it only brushes past the monster.

lightning bolt v Green: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 6, 2) = 18

Green reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Kozen too let's fly with his wand to lesser effect.

magic missile v Pink: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Longtooth races around the corner and out of sight of Serena only appear behind Durgan's foe delivering it a deathblow with his sword.

longsword v yellow (flank): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 damage (sneak attack!): 1d8 + 3 + 5d6 ⇒ (7) + 3 + (1, 6, 5, 5, 3) = 30

Matheus's riposte scores a furrow down the creature's flank, causing it to scream a particularly bloodcurdling human cry.

rapier v Pink: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

More later!

Mother Vorst rushes after Longtooth.

Jewel does likewise spinning about and manically barking at everything.

"YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP!"

Fergus I guess continues to take his survey.

"How likely are you to recommend the Burning Barn to your friends and family: Very Likely, Likely, Not Sure, Unlikely, Very Unlikely. Please explain."

The remaining leucrotta redouble their redoubled efforts, with the one that Alia is fighting coming to stand over the prone Zokon.

Alia withdraws her blade and dodges the counterattack in a spin she uses to build momentum, then stabs straight towards the animal amalgams face switching her lead hand.

Attack Green: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Stabby Damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 1) + 9 = 12 Nonlethal Freezy Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 +Fatigue

And here's hoping it stays down...

Serena follows the barking dog, figuring that it will lead her to the others.

Fergus pauses a moment to cast a bewildered glance at the imp.
Which attraction would you be sir Imp? And unlikely. It got me all fired up, but then burnt me out quick. Also wasn't good for the beard.

He states before following after the others.

Welp. Hard to hammer the last one. Not that she'd do much good even if she could reach it, going by previous attempts. So she squeezes north and calls out for Matheus. "Take a step back and we can help you pummel it!"

Alia sends the last creature visible to her to the cobbles.

"Quit shoving!" Kozen turns and shouts at Illthir.

Matheus's gives a final stab before retreating back up the stone steps (difficult terrain) and is snapped at in return.

rapier v Pink: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 miss

Serena follows the barking dog, figuring that it will lead her to the others.

Jewel turns and growls at Serena. "Grrr! Grrr!"

intimidate v Serena (Demoralize, DC 19, smaller size): 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (17) - 6 = 11

"'Not good for beards.'" repeats the imp as it notes the fact down in the comment's section of the survey.

Serena cocks an eyebrow and sighs. "Really? Just take me to the others."
