The hydra seems unaffected by Coljin's efforts, shrugs off both blasts from the flapping Ulmwin, and only one of Dornikal's blows manages to part scales and find flesh.
It retaliates against Spicy Dwarf™, the seven remaining heads snapping at him.
He fends off the first two, dodging such that they ram into each other in a tangle of teeth and blood, but the third head chomps him, his shield maneuver leaving him open for a vicious bite or two more.

The three heads erupt in flame (roll damage Dornikal), and the beast seems done with the dwarf, starting to back up, putting tension on the tangle of wires, a few stripping leaves and small branches from the trees as they pull free, but it's still anchored to the trap.
((Dornikal can also take an Opportunity Attack as it backs up 10 feet.))
There is a rumbling in the ground, the floating magic user calling out and pointing towards the northern part of the meadow. The crossbowmen and archer seem split in their targets, two of the crossbows twanging and sending bolts at the hydra, while the other two, the archer, and the mage seem to be waiting for the bulette to mane an appearance.
((Party is up, plus Dornikal from hydra's round.))

((From his position ~60ft into the woods, Coljin wouldn't have visual on anything, but those closer to the treeline, and Ulmwin for sure, would have seen it cresting out of the soil before diving back under on an approach trajectory towards the hydra.))

Before leaping on it and slicing up it's steaming torso as he runs to ensure no more heads.
He will look around for signs of the bulette, and if seeing some sign, will charge with his remaining 25 in that direction leaving a mixed trail of his and hydra blood in his wake.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((Yep, Ulmwin would have been able to hold an action, go for it as it emerges!))
Randy and Dornikal can see a furrow being carved in the soil, but the ranger can't get a clear enough view to shift his attentions to it as it dives beneath the ground. The meadow is quiet, other than the crackling of cooking hydra, before an eruption of soil, monster and dwarf sends Dornikal riding up on a mound of sod in the mouth of the bulette as it leaps a dozen feet above the grass, massive mouth clamping shut on the dwarf as it crests hits leap, drawing attacks from the hidden folk in the trees.
Dornikal wedges a boot against the lower jaw, and his shield against the upper, holding them back just long enough to kick off the clod of dirt and roll out of the bulette's mouth!
((Dex Save please Dornikal!))
((Attack was an 18 both before and after getting flagged))
Randy decides to bring a little more to the party.
Long bow 1: Attack: 13 Damage: 6 Hunters Mark:3
Long bow 2: Attack: 16 Damage: 7 Hunters Mark:6
Planar warrior:6
One arrow skips off the scaly beast, the other flies true and detonates with a thunderous bang. ((20 points in force damage isn't chicken feed.))
The arrow sinks into the shoulder of the hydra, and blows out a divot of flesh and scales.

Satisfied with the previous glimmering blast, Ulmwin keeps up with an array of other glimmering, but slightly less spectacular blasts.

Once again, he keeps his distance and only casts Toll the Dead.

On his turn Dornikal pursues, roaring,
"Ye can't run from the fury of a god!"

Randy mutters "One problem at a time." and fires on the hydra, looking to put it down before the bulette gets involved again.

Seeing that the hydra seems to be stuck in the wiry trap, Coljin moved 10 feet closer and again casts the mighty magic bell of pain.
Toll the Dead: 20
The head is engulfed in flames, and Dornikal is courteous enough to lop the charred head off before chasing after it to remove another head.
Randy sends two arrows in rapid succession into one of the necks, the first one blowing a sizable chunk out via manipulation of planar forces.
The remaining four heads writhe in pain as Coljin tolls their end.
The serpentine necks go limp as the hydra collapses and fails to be able to regenerate.

As the beast falls Dornikal gives a delighted,
"HaHAH!"
Before leaping on it and slicing up it's steaming torso as he runs to ensure no more heads.
He will look around for signs of the bulette, and if seeing some sign, will charge with his remaining 25 in that direction leaving a mixed trail of his and hydra blood in his wake.
"One left! Come on! For Dumathoin!"
Randy looks with satisfaction on the smoldering pile of hydra, then attempts to shift his Hunter's Mark to the incoming Bulette.
Ulmwin grins briefly at the hydra, then shifts his attention, preparing more blasts for if the bulette shows itself...
((Yep, Ulmwin would have been able to hold an action, go for it as it emerges!))

The meadow is quiet, other than the crackling of cooking hydra, before an eruption of soil, monster and dwarf sends Dornikal riding up on a mound of sod in the mouth of the bulette as it leaps a dozen feet above the grass, massive mouth clamping shut on the dwarf as it crests hits leap, drawing attacks from the hidden folk in the trees.
