As being big and heavy is not ideal in current situation, Herr Doktor takes a deep breath and regurgitates a big ball of hideous mutagen that he spits at the closest troll.
Regurgitate Mutagen: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 2) = 13 acid damage, Basic Reflex DC 23 for Red.
He simultaneously deflates and takes back the size of a goblin.
He then moves forward and attacks the troll Crunch is facing.

I realized Crunch cannot shove a large creature, since goblins are small. Which is a shame, since that crit would've put it well into the lava. =D

It shrugs off the poison.
Crunch smashes it with their hammer, and then a followup strike fells it. Red down.
Cal moves up and Demoralizes Yellow. This is a Critical Success. Although its frightened value doesn't increase, it will be fleeing.
Then, he throws his knife into an unspecified, critical part of the troll's anatomy.
Eliadyr moves up and shoots Redirecting to Yellow. This hits another critical part of the troll's anatomy.
Eliadyr understands that White would otherwise be a troll (much like the minions), she has taken on the mantle of Urxehl’s accursed champion. She is not native to this region, and has traversed miles of tunnels, burrowing through sheer stone, desperate to appease her demonic patron.
She has been granted additional powers for her loyalty. She has the powers of the trolls (regeneration 20 deactivated by acid and sonic, Opportune Attack, rock throwing, bleed immunity) and in addition, she has resistance to fire, and is a divine spellcaster (4th rank). Furthermore, that little cloud in the art isn't decorative - a perpetual storm surrounds her, granting her an AC bonus against ranged attacks.
Isaku shoots Green. I'm amenable to changing this to Yellow if that was the end result of the discussion in Discussion.
White continues tunnelling. Another four squares revealed.
Yellow regenerates and flees. Yellow will be 50' off the map to the right. This means Cyan will be closest to the Blue Tree NE for attack purposes.

Green regenerates and moves out of the tree's aura. They pick up a rock out of the lava and throw at Crunch.

The rest seems like it's done Yellow some good. Regeneration. Yellow huffs and puff as they run back to the fight. Outside of 30' from Cal, so no will save for frightened to tick down.
Green also looks healthier. Regeneration. With a roar, it turns its attention to the flyer. Crunch can take an OA, but please decide before you look at the results from the attacks below.

This hits, unless you've got a Reactive Shield left, or you've killed it!
Okay, this is getting too complicated to do in block initiative. I'm going to make sure this is sorted out.
In chronological order, Crunch needs to decide whether to take an OA against Green, who Strides through threatened squares, then, whether to Reactive Shield Green's strike. (Note that Reactive Shield won't allow you to use Shield Block as part of that reaction, and the AC bonus won't change the degree of success.) This all happens before Cyan acts - but Crunch stated they were going to hold out for Cyan to stand. Cyan doesn't get its regeneration back until the end of its turn, so if Crunch is waiting for it to stand, they will get their OA while Cyan is still regeneration deactivated. If they don't take the OA, then they can use Reactive Shield against Cyan's hit, which will transform it from a Hit to a Miss.
Crunch, please go ahead and decide how you want to use reactions, and make an OA roll against Cyan if necessary.

Cal pulls out one of the acid flasks they were given earlier. It's not clear who might have been carrying them before, but things do tend to end up in his pockets - much like what happens to the silverware of his various wealthy girlfriends. He moves across the rubble and loose stones of the tunnel then ducks into the shadows hopefully out of sight of the nearest bruiser.

Rhaegal stretches his wings and then roars, shooting up into the air. Unlike when you've seen him fly before, this isn't the slightly shaky movement of someone getting his wings recently. This is a bolt upward from superheated air and then a dart across the lava towards one of the trolls. He comes down in a crash of stone and fire, spraying the troll. When the dust clears, the kobold Dragon emerges unscathed. He looks down the tunnel at the digging troll and roars a threat at it.

Rhaegal roars in triumph as Herr Doktor skewers the troll and the acid bubbles up to end him. He calls back to the others as he sees Crunch in the tunnel. "Hurry, the tunnel will be cramped, but Crunch will need us!"
The kobold stretches out his wings and shouts. "I AM A DRAGON!!!" He begins to grow in size and his wings billow out. Unlike before, he's able to grow his wingspan and this is clearly no-wolf shape. While he doesn't get nearly as big as before, the little kobold might be doing it!

![]() |

The form's snout grows sharp with serrated teeth. But it looks like Rhaegal may have concentrated a bit too much on the wings. Without the bigger size, the wings are over-large and his limbs are too short. It's mostly wings and a massive sharp beak/mouth. While not quite a dragon, it does bear some resemblance to a drake, perhaps a proto-drake?
The proto-drake screeches and takes off towards the troll. "Crunch, I'm coming!"

Cal watches everyone head to the other side and sighs. He's not much at jumping with his short little legs. But those other shorties are making him look bad, so he focuses on the magic in his boots for a moment. Once he feels a little lighter on his feet, he heads towards the stepping stones and begins hopping and jumping across.
"'Scuse me Doc," he says as he carefully moves across the same stone Herr Doktor is standing on. "Nice job," he comments admiringly with a glance and a nod at the Green troll that the goblin put down(?).

Herr Doktor leaps across the lava, avoiding an opportune attack from Green, and brings his pike down on Green, the acid splashing Green's wounds. Green down.
Rhaegal dodges half the lightning but is fully healed by the tree. Transforming into a pterosaur, he flies through the troll's reach, and earns an opportune bite for his trouble.
Jaws: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
Piercing: 2d12 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 = 14
She clearly didn't expect there to be fliers in a narrow tunnel.
Note for all: Once inside 10' of the troll, Rhaegal notices that she's surrounded by a perpetual storm.
Eliadyr and Cal hop across the lava.
Crunch moves up with shield raised, and hits the troll with their hammer. Not a crit.
Isaku, I took the liberty of retconning you move to be a little further, so that you get line of sight on White. You should still be able to make your hops across the walkway next turn.
Isaku's bullet appears to be headed straight towards White, but as it gets within 10' of the troll, it veers off due to the winds. Miss, due to a -2 penalty for ranged attacks!
White snarls at Crunch and Rhaegal, and they watch in horror as the wounds they have inflicted heal up before their very eyes. Regeneration 20. She responds to their aggression by casting another spell. Provokes OA from Crunch.
Electricity: 5d12 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 11, 12) = 30
Last round she cast this and it was 4d12 because I forgot to heighten it. 5d12 is the proper damage, and I'm not going to retcon.
White spends her last action digging. No squares open on the map - it's 10' for every 3 actions, so I'm doing it like moving diagonally, 5' for the first action, and 5' for the next two.
Pink Tree SE will heal Herr Doktor.
Healing: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (6, 6) + 16 = 28
Herr Doktor, Cal, and Rhaegal: outside of the Blue Trees' 20' auras, you may not have fire resistance. Although it's unlikely to alter the overall outcome, I'm rolling fire damage that you'd take at the beginning of your turns.
Fire vs Herr Doktor: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Fire vs Cal: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Fire vs Rhaegal: 1d6 ⇒ 2
I'm also going to roll an Opportune Attack that White takes at the first opportunity (10' reach).

Cal moves into the tunnel trying to catch up to his teammates. Wait, there's a drake in here, too?
Catching himself as he realizes it's just that crazy kobold, he pauses just around the bend in the rocks from the last troll and gives it the stare. The stare that's chased many an alley-lurking ruffian and overly protective boyfriend away.
Intimidation, Glare, Terrified Retreat: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

Eliadyr hustles around the corner and squeezes into the back corner. He mutters briefly in elven again and the arrow he draws starts dripping acid. He then sends the arrow flying into the center of the white troll where it douses the troll in acid.

I was worried about splash from the 5' burst in such close quarters, but it apparently comes from the centre of the target (expansive spellstrike: if the target is Large or larger, the burst use the square corner closest to the center of the target and choose the corner if more than one is eligible.)

Dice jail for you!
Meh, that saved you 30 hp, decent use of a Hero Point.
Crunch absorbs the damage but they're not looking too great. Cal moves in and takes a bite from the troll. Troll has reach, so she bites two squares out. OA in previous spoiler, Crit for -26.
Cal scares the troll, but doesn't cause her to run. Not a Critical Success. He stabs her pretty well, though.
Rhaegal dodges half the blast, and tries to rip and tear. However, even if frightened, the troll dodges. AC 26, 25 with Frightened 1.
Eliadyr lands an arrow, glowing with sickly green magic, on the troll.
Reflex, frightened 1: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 17 - 1 = 22 vs DC 22
Herr Doktor piles on, and Isaku hops across the lava.
Herr Doktor (and anyone else who is curious): your characters would probably note that the tunnel is heading towards the camp (from below). As with the other encounters, there are bad things that happen if they reach the edge of the map.
White, although surrounded, wounded, and unable to regenerate, refuses to give up. She unleashes another lightning bolt. She can get 3 of the 5 PCs in melee range, 1 in front and 2 in back, or two in front and 1 in back: 1. R/Ca/HD 2. R/HD/E 3. Ca/HD/E 4. Ca/Cr/E 5. Cr/Ca/HD 6. Cr/E/HD.

Rhaegal steps forward and bites twice, unfortunately, ineffectively.
Isaku almost puts a bullet into the troll's arm, but the winds blow his attack away at the last moment. -2 to ranged attacks, making her effective AC 28 against ranged. Since Isaku would know that 26 doesn't hit, I'll allow you to revise everything after Devise if you want.
