"Me? Why I'm doing great!A good predicament now and then keeps life exciting! As to how I got here...a clash of cultures.You know, cats and bulls.It will all be worked out once we get out of here. I'm sure it will be a good story for aroundthe campfire for everybody."
Dog attacks again (how far down the hallway is he?), roaring down the hallways about FeyTok and minotaurs, hoping everyone, including the real minotaurs can hear him.
Attack: 14 Damage: 10
Extra Attack: Dog touches the clockwork amulet absently, and feels the gears turn (attack: 18, damage: 12)
Dog's first swing misses but his second conects solidly against the crystal minotaur's head.
(Gash may take a turn. Everyone else can keep exploring or waiting as they see fit, but they cannot hear the battle through the passageways. Dog and Gash have been gone for about 18 seconds.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gash stands near Feytock's fallen body ready to retreat, but only when Dog makes a run for it. As Dog swings his weapon three magic missile swirl past his head and into the Minotaur.
(BTW, the minotaur is just past the halfway point of the passageway, fighting amid the rusty spikes.)
Gash did not notice before but his magic missile attack strikes the minotaur with greater intensity than expected, causing spiderweb cracks to radiate out along the surface of the crystal construct.
The minotaur grunts and swipes at Dog with its horns, then swings its massive greataxe at the goliath with a grunt.
Gore Attack: 12 Damage: 6
Greataxe Attack: 26 Damage: 19
Dog also takes 8 damage from striking it in the head with his hammer.
“Yes, they‘ve been gone longer than I expected. I think we should go look for them. If we go back into the blue room we can step through the orange to get back to red.” Stones goes back to the blue room but looks back to make sure the others are following before he steps in.

Dog grimaces and uses stone's endurance on his reaction that turn to cancel 11 hp from the greataxe attack.
On his next turn, he'll use second wind for his bonus action to heal 6
He snarls and smacks the construct again with his warhammer.
Attack: 27 Damage: 12
Extra Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Those hits shook him a bit and he's looking at the red room behind him. "Gash, I may have bitten off more than I can chew. If this isn't down soon I'll disengage and run to red."
OOC: So with the stone's endurance, the damage dealt drops to 40, and after second wind, the total drop is 30hp. If the construct's capable of rolling below a 17 ;) then Dog will be able to leave if it really doesn't seem phased by Dog's hits.

Large cracks begin to show and chunks are falling off of the crystal minotaur. Some of them spray into Dog's face as he strikes, causing 12 damage.
(Dog gets to disengage for free here and use his movement, since the above damage came from its reaction.)
*** Minotaur's attacks go here if Dog stays to fight. ***
Meanwhile, Stones, Bulwark, and Tock reach the blue aura and transport into the orange room. It will be a few more seconds before the arrive in the red room.

Dog grabs his sliced-up face, looks to Gash, shakes his head, looks to FeyTok's body and grimaces in sorrow. He disengages from the construct and moves into the red light, pulling Gash along too if he's willing. He'll drain the potion once he jumps. 7 points of healing from the potion.
Unfortunately, Dog doesn't have time to grab Gash on the way by. Fortunately, the minotaur roars as Dog disappears into the aura rather than charge after the goliath.
Far away from the fight, the light echoes of the distant bellow of the minotaur reach the ears of Stones, Bulwark, and Tock.

The construct splinters off pieces when it is struck by Dog's hammer, spraying into the goliath for 6 damage.
It then tries to gore Dog and strike at him with its greataxe.
Gore Attack: 24 Damage: 9
Greataxe Attack: 24 Damage: 13
Tock and Stones meanwhile reveal the length of the hallway, which seem to hold no surprises. The long passage ends in another T-junction.
Dog casts shield as his reaction, causing the horns and the greataxe to glance off to the side.
(Are we Calvinballing this with initiative/combat? Should I attack for next round? Gash did fire the firebolt...)
(Gash both searched Feytok and fired off an attack. Go ahead and continue.)

(ouch!)
Bulwark walks up to Tock and Stones as they're exploring.
"I am not sure it is wise to continue on without the other three. This maze is very dangerous. They all have been gone for too long to be safe."
“Yes, they‘ve been gone longer than I expected. I think we should go look for them. If we go back into the blue room we can step through the orange to get back to red.” Stones goes back to the blue room but looks back to make sure the others are following before he steps in.
Bulwark will follow, trusting Stones to get them there through the correct colours.

Tock follows the others through the portal rooms.
