"Damn dwarves and their solid doors," Ran mutters to himself when the door doesn't budge at all.

He looks around for where someone might have helpfully just left the keys (is that a chest in the alcove to the north - if so he'll head that way). While he does though, he draws his crossbow and takes aim at the fiery creature behind them and lets a bolt fly.

Heavy crossbow: Attack: 25 Damage: 11 

[Sure! Refunded Ki and use free action to talk.]

"The thing can be wounded!" Meili stopped kicking the dead horse traitorous newt and watched the "injury" on the fire monster with satisfaction. "We can take it," declared she with the determination of a cornered mouse.

You cannot see Hew's face as he stares down the monster, but you hear his wordless cry of rage as he charges it, drawing his rapier. 

Just as he arrives, Ran's crossbow bolt catches the creature right on the end of the snout, and it hisses loudly in apparent pain.

Hew lashes out with his rapier, stabbing at the creature and trying to force it to retreat.  His first thrust misses but his second strike jabs deep into the monster's face.

Rapier Attack:  23  Piercing Damage: 11

The monster opens its mouth and roars, the sound is that of an inferno, a raging furnace burning out of control.  

[Reaction] The fire monster braces its clawed feet on the bridge.  Huge gill-like openings widen on its neck and then vent out an eruption of hot, sulfurous gas that briefly form a cloud 5' around the creature.  Con save DC 13.

Hew CON save:  11

Hew staggers as heat blisters form on his skin and he coughs in agony as the gasses work their way into his lungs.  He takes 11 Fire Damage and is poisoned for 1 minute.

The creature then puffs up, drawing air into its body and then perches higher on its forelegs.  From its mouth, it expels a ball of fire and rock, over Hew and into the midst of those hurling spells, bolts and boomerangs at it.  It lands near Danica's feet and explodes.  Danica, Mica and Meili must all make DC 13 DEX saves.  They take 11 Fire Damage, or half that on a successful save.

Meili DC 13 DEX save: 15

[Can not see your dice numbers to calculate damage]

[Damage was showing yesterday… it was 11.]

Danica save: 17

Mica Dex Save: 8.

Quote from LAXGunner >>

Mica Dex Save: 8.

 Mica is unable to dodge the molten rock and fire on the narrow confines of the bridge.  Undeterred, he pushes through the others to stand next to Hew in front of the creature and tries to buy the others some time to open the door.  He marks the creature as his foe and strikes twice with his handaxes, trying to find purchase in the creature's tough hide.

Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll..

Attack: 23 Damage: 9.

Plus6 colossus slayer damage and 4 favored foe damage on a hit. 

Mica, your first axe bites deep into the snout of the monster, leaving a red, smoking wound, but the second just scrapes off of its hot, rocky skin.

Nalomanterys doesn't even wait to see what fresh hell has just appeared behind them - he crouches, hands on head, and rushes past his allies to the far end of the bridge. ((moves 30 ft toward the door and off to the side (his right) as far as he can to get away from this thing)).

Turning around to see the colossal source of sound, smell and heat, the wizard bemoans the group's fate: "Blood and shite! I knew we shouldn't have trusted that newt!"

Despite his self pity, Nalomanterys the Great quickly gathers himself and joins in the attack, waving his fingers and then pointing right at the eye of the enormous fire lizard. A palm-sized rock pries itself free of the cavern floor and zips toward the enemy.

catapult Dex save: 14 or 10 (magic?) bludgeoning.

((sorry for late reply. weekend was busy))

To clarify without editing: the dex save is 14, or else it will take 18 damage

Save:  6

Nalomanterys' rock slams into the shoulder of the magma monster, making a crashing impact and sending ripples through the semi-molten form of the elemental.  

Round 2!

7. Nalomanterys

(Was there a chest on that northern platform area?)

[Yes.  There is an open chest in that alcove.  From within emerges a fiery red glow.]

Meili was still too far from the monster with no means in that bright light to get over three people in front of her. She tried, nevertheless to do so.

If her assessment was correct and the magical cloak did not work, Meili tried to slip past the others closer to the creature.

If flyover is not possible, Meili moves slowly past Nalomanterys [cost double movement, right?] and throws the boomerang from behind Hew:

Boomerang: Attack: 24 Damage: 8 

If flying is possible and unarmed attacks from the air works - she will try to kick the monster three times, and stay in the air above the bridge (and Hew)

First kick: Attack: 18 Damage: 4
Flurry of Blows: 23 Damage: 7
                            18 Damage: 4

Mica prepares for another attack with his handaxes as Meili unleashes a series of blows.  Sparing a quick glance backwards he shouts at the others “Any luck with that door yet? I don’t think this fellow is leaving anytime soon!”

Ran, seeing the bridge is still crowded and he won’t e able to get close to the fire lizard, lets another crossbow bolt fly.

Crossbow: Attack: 16 Damage: 6  

He then moves over to the flowing chest and takes a look inside, hoping for something that might open the locked doorway.

Meili:

 Meili grasps her cloak and sails into the air, over top of the thrashing magma monster.  She lands a pair swift and brutal kicks to the creature's back.  

It appears your attacks are beginning to take a toll.  The monster is glowing less bright than before, as if the heat of the magma burning inside of it is beginning to cool, and more of its surface is turning to black rock. 

[Reaction] Yet as Meili finishes kicking it, it once again grips the bridge with its clawed feet and flares its gills open wide, releasing a cloud of hot, sulfurous gas.  Those within 5' of the monster [Mica, Hew and Meili] must make a DC 13 CON save.  On a failed save, they each take 11  fire damage and are poisoned for 1 minute.  On a successful save they take half as much damage and are not poisoned.

Hew CON save:  19

Danica, still glowing with starlight, launches a pair of magical attacks at the magma beast.  She fires another beam of light and a coil of thorny vines.

Thorn Whip  Attack:  19  Damage:  1   Though her thorns grab the monster, the presence of Hew and Mica in the way prevent it from being pulled toward her.

Starry Form Archer Spell Attack:  19  Damage:  4  Another beam of light scorches a section of the beast's rocky flesh.

Unable to keep up the combo of hits, Ran's bolt sails away in the magma chamber, far from its intended target.  Moving into the side chamber, Ran sees a chest full of quartz-like rocks.  Each one glows and pulses with a reddish-orange light, as though they each had a tiny flame inside.

Hew holds his breath against the worst of the poisonous gas this time.  He recklessly charges the beast against, stabbing twice and connecting each time with his rapier.

Attack:  15  Damage:  10

Attack:  19  Damage:  13

He stumbles, though and nearly looses his footing at the edge of the bridge.  He is able to catch himself, just so, before tripping into the roiling magma below.

The magma salamander, enraged at the pain these little creatures are inflicting upon it, opens its molten maw and attempts to bite, snapping once at Hew and once at Mica.

Hew Bite Attack: 15 Piercing Damage: 8 + 10 Fire Damage

Mica Bite Attack: 13 Piercing Damage: 16 + 10 Fire Damage
