            BK sustains the illusion and it rushes blue.
BK begins a Courageous Anthem and attempts to bolster it with a Lingering Composition. then he sustains the illusory creature and sics it on blue. Finally, With his last action he tosses a tanglefoot bag at yellow

Slashing Gust, Anthem vs White AC: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12
But it fizzles in his hand. The big man curses in a mix of 3 different languages, and though no one would understand the exact meaning of the words, his frustration is clear. His venting complete, he takes a calming breath and enters his combat stance as a further way of centering himself for the combat.

BK begins to sing but doesn't quite make it memorable. 
DC for this group is 20
He does hurl the glue pot at Yellow, which hits right in the chest and causes the creature to be partially stuck to the floor. Meanwhile, his illusory barbarian charges Blue and manages to hit with its massive sword.
Jhiang attempts to scour White with the wind but the spell fizzles.
Blue retaliates against the barbarian in his face.

He manages to break free with a evil grin at BK. He moves up to flank the barbarian and pokes it with a shortsword.

Ghardak's shield blunts most of Red's attack. He steps forward and clobbers Yellow on the side of the head, knocking the humanoid sideways. Yellow looks very doubtful that he wants to continue this fight.
Desmond drops into a combat stance and moves up, raising his shield to ward off any attack.

Quinthalas - not sure what happened but I'll take the first 2 numbers for the damage for Scree Breath (11 bludgeoning).
Quinthalas summons a small creature. It pops into existence between the one with a White shirt and Ghardak. It then breathes a cone of rocks at Red and Blue. They manage to avoid the worst of the damage but still get hit. Blue shakes his head and starts looking around for an escape route. He appears not to want to continue the fight.
Yellow and Blue can be convinced to surrender using Appeal to Shadowy Intruders
Red tries to poke the critter that just hit him with a stream of rocks.

            "BK, 'less you can make both give up," Jhinag says to gnome in his sing-song Common, "one gonna die," he finishes with an apathetic shrug of his wide shoulders as he sizes up the two intruders.
BK has Group Impression. Could he use that on both Blue and Red?

            Group Impression is basically Make an Impression directed at more than one. To Make an Impression, you'd need to talk to them for a minute. You don't have that time. Appeal to Shadowy Intruders is more like asking them to surrender while in battle. So, unfortunately, Group Impression doesn't work here

            OK, then the Versatile Performance ability should not apply after all, since it is only used for the make an impression action.
BK sustains his illusion and focuses on getting blue to turn sides. "Are you sure you want to do this? You are practically surrounded."
appeal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
and then his illusion attacks blue, since he is being so unreasonable.
to hit blue, illusory axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 
nonlethal mental damage: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) = 4
to hit blue, illusory axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 
nonlethal mental damage: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7

            Blue scoffs at BK's attempt to win him over. He sees Amiri swing at him and screams as the sword comes down. He then faints dead away.

            As Blue hits the ground, Jhiang raises an eyebrow at the one remaining intruder. He draws a centering breath, exhales on a double-count, and lets the magic rebuild within him.
His sword flashes in a fiery arc...
Spellstrike, Ignition, Flanking: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Damage, S, Fire, Force: 2d6 + 4 + 4d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + (2, 3, 3, 4) + 1 = 21
But in his eagerness to replicate his previous decapitating strike, he grossly misjudges the distance to the man's throat.

            Red realizes that it's time to quit and Ghardak just gave him the perfect out. He drops his weapons and goes to sit in the corner.
COMBAT OVER
There's a closed door in front of you...

            @All
We look in pretty good shape so I'm thinking we head onward. 
@GM Tiger
I mam not seeing a door on the map.
GK does a little victory dance and tune.
"BK saves the day!" He is inordinately proud of his first sucessful use of an illusory creature.

|  GM Tiger | 
 
	
 
                
                
              
            
            I repositioned BK on the map -- it's 10' to your left... Anyone want to try to open it? :)
You're moving towards the left, btw

|  Ghardak | 
 
	
 
                
                
              
            
            "What's behind this.." Ghardak says to those who surrendered.
Ghardak steps forward and opens the door.

            Desmond begins looking at Ghardak's wounds, but then the dwarf shrugs him off to open the door. The half-orc sighs and repacks his medical bag before saying, "I guess you'll live a little longer."
Don't mind him. He's turning into a grump.

|  Banterknell or BK | 
 
	
 
                
                
              
            
            BK will scan the door for traps, pause a moment for anyone else to search, and then open the door.

|  GM Tiger | 
 
	
 
                
                
              
            
            Ghardak steps forward and throws the door open... and... nothing happens... you enter what appears to be an anteroom. Another closed door stands before you. You can hear faint movements beyond this door.
BK: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Jhiang Jhones's Perception (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

            "Yam Seng!" Jhiang gives a congratulatory cheer and fist bump to BK when the last one lays down his arms. He knows that Ghardak actually got the last word in, but the little gnome is in such an infectiously good mode that he can't help it.
He steps up to the door and prepares for combat. "T'ank you for look-see t'e door," he then says to BK as the gnome opens it.

            Well, he WAS going to open it, but the big guy dwarf took charge and thundered right through. I'm guessing he is not big on finesse.

|  GM Tiger | 
 
	
 
                
                
              
            
            Well there's another one in front of you...

            Ghardak points out the glyph on the handle.
"Looks like it's trapped.." he says.

            Oops, my bad. I thought BK had opened the new door.
Jhiang steps back at Ghardak's warning to give someone else better access. This isn't his cup of tea.
Ahh, what I would give for a good cuppa Shenmen bluestem tea. Ooh, maybe have at t'e Tien grocery down by docks.

            Ghardak attempts to smash down the door. "Well if one doesn't touch the rune.. All of you stand back!"

            Ghardak bounces off the door. You hear more frantic movements behind the door...

|  Banterknell or BK | 
 
	
 
                
                
              
            
            BK waits patiently this time, off to the side, twiddling his lock pics looking like he would like a try. Though, honestly, with a +12 to his roll Ghardak is a much better choice than BK, particularly since BK is not an expert and would fail anyway. Self confidence only gets you so far :(

            Quinthalas speaks words of power and...

...nothing happens.
"I'm sorry. It seems more powerful that I can manage."

            If allowed, Ghardak tries to smash the door again.

            Taking another run at the door, Ghardak hits it with the speed of a runaway train (If you don't know what a train is, see scenario 06-08!). You see three humanoids in front of you. Two you recognize as the foes you've been dealing with but the third appears to be a humanoid cloaked entirely in shadow.
