The party looks around both the bodies and the room. One of the skulkers hid a lesser healing potion in a small ball of smelly mud. but there isn't much else on them or in the room.
To the southeast you hear the sound of claws scraping against the floor. You get the distinct impression that they were trying to be quiet and failed...

After the heal spell washes over everyone, Chark opens her mouth to peak but her head snaps toward the curtain to the south. Pressing her finger against her lips to ask for quiet, she points at the curtain and motions to ask Tiny to investigate.
"We all ready tp press on?" Charlie looks ahead and down the hallway as it loops around
With Chark's hush, the bard picks up on what she's putting down. To provide some cover, Dendillion continues as if nothing is amiss, plucking notes on his lute to help provide a distracting cover for anyone trying to sneak.
Tiny will sneak up and take a peek.

Tiny's approach is not enough to surprise the xulgath's on the other side. A xulgath, stronger and larger than any you've faced, snarls with a command to attack as another pair of dinosaurs gnash their teeth, expectant of a good meal.

Chark steps behind Tiny, fairly unsurprised by more of the dino-xulgaths. She conjures a yellow-orange ball of flame and hurls it at Blue.
Chark's fire strikes the dinosaur in the face, just shy of sending it down the creature's throat!

Dendillion races to catch up at the sound of combat, immediately transitioning from the carefree noodling of composition to the inspired anthem the group commonly hears.
Dendillion brings a welcome refrain to the fight as both sides close for mortal combat. The heroes can plainly see there is no other egress, this is a fight to the death.
The remaining xulgath grabs a javelin and hurls it at Tiny. He then grabs another and throws that one too:

Tiny grunts as the javelin strikes him.
Why didn't I just stay low thinks Tiny as he drops into his tiger stance and mauls green twice before calling Þóðᛞrekkr over to the battlefield side of the room.
Tiny's hit is light, but effective. The follow up misses by a fair bit. . The damage is done though as the dinosaur is stunned by the short.
charlie and Goliath bring even more pain, and the deinonchyus nearly falls from the onslaught.

If that fells Green, she will confidently move opposite Tiny on Blue. If not, she will conjure up a disc of force for protection.
Chark and Haldan alike just barely miss their target! the dinosaurs respond with savage violence:

The weakness coming from the day's usage of magic is clearly getting to Haldan. The card he launches fizzles within feet of him.
Haldan's card is wildly off target.
The lone dinosaur goes after Tiny with abandon:
But the dwarf's defense is impenetrable.
One of the xulgath leaders decides to put this to the test, closing with an axe!

Feeling the sting of the axes Charlie rushes around to the back of the group, keeping an eye on the xulgath. Goliath sees it trying to advance and leaps in front of it, swiping a massive paw across the area.

Tiny grunts as the axe slams into him and his strength begins to fade.
Rather than hesitate he pushes forward, first commanding Þóðᛞrekkr to fetch.
Then following up with his own flurry vs the dino.
Tiny then pulls out his shield.
With his last spell of the day, Haldan casts summon elemental to bring forth an elemental into flanking behind the dinosaur.
Þóðᛞrekkr's teeth bite down only on air, but his master's first claw opens the throat of the deinonychus!
The follow up hits the leader who is slightly stunned by the surprise hit!
Haldan brings forth an elemental but it takes a bit for it to get its bearings.
The final two foes press as hard as they can:

Haldan attempts one more card and sustains the spell so that the Mephit can attack. Both vs red.
Tiny grunts as he takes multiple hits before retaliating at the black monster.
Tiny then pulls back, taking cover behind the pillar and his allies before sending Þóðᛞrekkr in.
Chark is unwilling to leave Þóðᛞrekkr on their own in peril, so she stays put and tries to deposit another yellow-orange ball of flame on target, this time at Black.
She then conjures up a disk of force for the coming retaliation.
Goliath and Charlie both try and stay focused on the xulgath right in front of them.
