There is one person in charge (the musher), who uses handle animal skill to control the sled. Each sled can also carry one other passenger.
Mushers have three actions they can perform.
Mush
Mush speeds up the sled as a move action. Handle Animal DC 12 increases the speed by +1 increment.
Break
Break slows the sled down as a move action. Handle Animal DC 12 decreases the speed by –1 increment. As a fullround action, the musher can also attempt a full stop with a successful DC 20 Handle Animal check. The sled still moves its maximum distance for that round, however at the end of the round the sled’s movement is 0.
Maneuver Turn
Turn allows a musher to alter the direction of the sled within about 60 degrees to either side of the direction it is traveling. The Handle Animal skill check DC is 10 + 1 per every 5 degrees turned. Sleds moving faster than 5 increments risk tipping over. If a driver attempting a high-speed-turn fails the Handle Animal check by more than 10, the dogs maneuver erratically, causing the sled to tip over.
Slam
An attacker whose sled is parallel to his target can drive his sled into his opponent’s as a slam attack. A DC 18 Strength check in order to muscle the sled into a quick, violent turn that deals 2d6 damage to the sled and knocks it off course, changing its direction by 30 degrees. The musher of the targeted sled must then make a Handle Animal check (DC 10 + damage to regain control of his sled) or he loses his next action. If a slam attack deals more than 10 points of damage, the targeted sled flips
Grapple
Following a successful slam attack, riders within either sled can attempt to grapple the opponent’s sled, or individuals on the sled. This requires a melee touch attack, either against the sled (AC 8) or an individual within reach. All individuals in a moving sled are considered flat-footed. At the start of the next round, grappled sleds make opposed Handle Animal checks to see who controls the movement of both sleds. Individuals on either sled then attack as determined by initiative. They can attempt any partial combat maneuver they so desire (including a move action to climb into the other sled), provided they first make a successful DC 14 acrobatics
check. Anyone failing the check is thrown from the sled.
Regardless, the musher must remain at the reigns of the sled or the sled goes out of control, traveling in the direction it was before the loss of the musher for 1d4 rounds before tipping over and crashing.
Executing the Break maneuver during a grapple always causes one of the grappled sleds to flip, 50% chance for either

With the creature down and the sound of angry ppl approaching them he shakes his head at Pierre. "I doubt we have time for that, better to get this relic out of the ground and get the hell out of here, maybe use the scrolls offered from Rocky?" And with that said he started to assist the others in getting the item out as soon as possible
The group digs down through the ice. After a few minutes digging you uncover the capstone with a spiral of runes. You would guess that whatever you want is hidden beneath that.

Turning his head to listen to the drums he sighs for a moment before turning to his companions. "We need to hurry, not much time left... Leg it or we are going to be run over by barbarians that want our heads..."
The stone seals a small chamber filled with a bed of charcoal. Atop the charcoal sits a rolled up leather blanket tied closed with knotted silk rope. The leather blanket is lined with red and orange silks that bind together a collection of bones, intricately scrimshawed with fine calligraphy and rubbed with gold leaf, to make the runes stand out.
Rocky is indeed cursed. He feels the weight of years come upon him. A hot breaze as if from a desert blows in his face, and the scent of the long dead wafts up his nose.
But rocky is made of stern stuff. Rock even. Rock with veins of iron, hardened by his years of studying the marital arts.
The curse finds no where to take hold on his form and vanishes, off into the winds, who knows where to land.
And as Rocky is immune to disease, no Mummy Rot for him.
In the distance you see several more of the white ape-men starting to run towards your group. Time to either exit stage left, or fight.
Pitbull extracts an odd prism from the beasts guts and the team high-tails it for the way out.
Dozens of shaggy beastmen howl from the fog-enshrouded precipices, their chants seemingly silenced by the death of monstrous worm-creature. Then slowly, the drums start beating. The tempo rises furiously, followed by an enraged chorus of violent, howling screams.
A volley of spears is thrown at you as you depart.
A number of them find soft fleshy targets
Rogar:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Pierre:1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Pitbull:3d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 5, 5) + 9 = 21
The Taer look to follow you, but screams of rage and horror greet the discovery of the dead Remorhaz. You can't help but think you have not seen the last of them.
Going down without sleds is tough work.
And helpfully not handled by the scenario
Working your way out of the Maw, thought The Eye and down to the Wings, you hear the Taer cries falling slowly behind.
Probably time for Rocky to make another Fort save against the altitude. Let me know any healing or other plans you have at this stage.

Not seeing the obvious but seeing the haste they will make he takes the risk to sacrifice his lay on hands to get rid of the fatigue from his party members.
using Mercy (fatigue) to remove the fatigue from Hakime, Pierre, Pitbull and Asbo... 5 LoH's used so far, 3 left
"Looks like we have friends coming to say hello, suppose we better put on a welcoming committee. Four sleds, looks like they are bringing us a replacement"
Pitbull and Asbo move into cover to avoid any archers as they approach.

Turning his heads towards the sleds coming down he positioned himself with his back to a rock, ready to let the first one to come close to defend himseld

Rogar moves slightly towards Hakime and Rocky then takes out his bow and shoots at the incoming red sled:"Come and get us if you can, beastmen!" he shouts.
Pitbull and Asbo move into cover while Kor prepares a strike. Rogar, ever quick to the fray fires an arrow at one of the men in the slay.
who:1d2 ⇒ 1
His arrow strikes the Musher!
The sleds continue to close at a breakneck pace.

With readied actions, plesae roll the dice for them when you ready. Rocky, I assume you have updated your inline AC to include the barkskin

Seeing the sled being this close he moves forward and takes a swing at the driver of the sled.
I am taking that the sled is just a 5" long creature, and not 10". So a 10" step forward for the attack, if I can take a swing from 5" I will do that and then make 2 attacks
Hakime drops two shots into the musher on the red sled and he falls. The sled, out of control, continues on at its hectic pace.
Rocky charges the purple sled, knocking the driver out of it and onto the snow.
Rogar fires, but this time misses.
Asbo and Pitbull double team the driver of the blue sled.
Kor then takes out the passenger.
The purple sled passenger strikes at Pitbull as the shed swoops past. Realising the driver is down he steps clear of the impending crash.
attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
The red passenger charges at Hakime, determined to take out the bowman who killed his driver.
attack:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
The last sled also swoops past the archer
attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 damage:2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
An almost invisible short sword appears next to Hakime, slashing at her
attack:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
The passenger then reaches out to try and touch her..

Do you have a way to avoid AOOs when firing in melee range?
Two arrows slam home into the passenger on the purple sled, causing them to slump in the back.
