...and the pyroweasels skitter anxiously about outside, forming a nice little gauntlet for anyone who'd dare to enter or exit the ruin.

...while the pyroweasels gingerly approach the ledge.

Readied attacks:

The Pyroweasels make short work indeed of the final poor sot with an impromptu drawing-and-quartering-and-immolating-and-exsanguinating.

Meanwhile, Lucija completes her conjuration, and spilling forth from another crackling portal emerge 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 of the largest and most vicious-looking weasels you've ever seen - and what's more, they're on fire.

Remember, each has 18 STR, 14, CON, 13 hit points, +5 Fortitude save, etc.

No sooner do they appear than they all lunge for the nearest barbarian's face:

I'll clean them up once I'm on a different computer; for now:

Arm #7 completely missed - and if it missed, it can't grab.

A totally de rigeur failed attack roll!?? Why, who ever would've guessed?

After a moment's apparent confusion in the face of Cale's disappearance, the octopus appears surprisingly unconcerned with class politics as it continues to harvest from its garden....
