Coljin was just about to let out a hoot of happiness with how rather easy this went when that crazy dwarf ran off full tilt basically into the mouth of the bulette.
He instead sighs and runs more toward the area where those two now are.
He wants to get closer so that he can cast toll dead and also heal, which will obviously be needed!
Randy shakes his head. "Ain't over yet." He tags the bulette with Hunter's Mark (recasting if necessary) while it's trying to snack on the dwarf. He changes to his rapier and runs to close with the bulette while working on winding up PW. He uses HM meanwhile to keep track of the bulette.
((HM doesn't have to be swapped as soon as the original dies, it stays up for the duration unless you break concentration, so no need to recast. However, the bulette isn't done with it's turn.))

The two crossbowmen and archer pepper the bulette as it bursts forth and sends Dornikal riding upward in its jaws. The ferocious dwarf taunts the creature as he rolls out into a backflip, landing on his feet rather than prone as the beast plunges back under ground, the soil parting like water before its powerful claws and pointed head.
((Ulmwin gets held attacks, and Dornikal can make an Opp Att against it (with partial cover) as it goes to burrow away.))

One of Ulmwin's blasts strikes true, the other throwing up a spray of soil as Dorkinal slashes, only to have his blade turned against the armored hide.
Randy dashes forward, switching weapons, but isn't able to spot the creature to tag it.

((Everyone just holding attacks for when it surfaces? If so, the ground will part a few feet from Dornikal as it's coming up to the surface at him, and you can make those attacks. It will have cover as it is mostly submerged in the soil still.))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ulmwin is holding his attack as well for another two shots once it shows it's face. (Do you follow the ruling that if I decide to hold a spell, I waste the spell if I don't get to use it, or does it only get used up if actually used? Just a cantrip for now anyway.)
((@Randy, it's bending things a bit, since it's a BA and not an action, but I'll say you can hold HM to tag it once it surfaces, as your held action.))
((@Ulmwin, yes, if you hold a spell, it takes concentration, and you start casting it on your turn, completing when triggered. If you don't cast it, you have to release the spell, and the slot would be used either way.))

((True, that works too. Apologies for the lack of response for a few days, we were out of town, and came back to a dead modem. Up and running now!))
Randy gets the creature marked as he ran towards Dornikal, as it breeches the surface, he stabs at it, but his blade is turned on the hard carapace. Ulmwin sends blasts down from above, one of them hitting the creature as attempts to bite Dornikal, while Coljin attempts to break through magically as bolts whistle past.

The bolts and arrows clatter around the beast and the two of your party engaged with it, but the floating mage manages to get a hit in with a shot of fire.
Its maw opens wide as it seeks to chomp onto Dornikal!

Dex save (with advantage if danger sense applies): 16

Dornikal will bite his lip in anticipation if needed while waiting.
Randy will keep trying to tag the bulette with HM. Is he close enough to try to make an attack?
Coljin will continue to use Toll the Dead, casting when he can see it. He will make sure he is near enough to Dornikal to heal when he will need it.
Toll: 8

Randy uses HM to track the beast when it's burrowing, calling out it's location.

He interposes his shield, and the bulk of the creature passes underneath him, shuddering as Coljin's spell takes effect.
((Dorni can make a held attack if he had one.))

Attack two: Attack: 19 Damage: 13
((Missed it on Randy's, but neither hit, held attack actions only give you one, don't get extra attack unless on your turn.))
Dornikal 's strike bounces off, and the soil churns as the creature loops out to take another pass.
