Elwin jabs at the mole furiously with his spear, spinning to deliver a whack across the snout with the spear's haft. Once more the pungent scent of fried mole fills the air as another of Quentin's firebolts finds its target. Raven leaps from concealment to deliver a vicious slash, and Mindartis puts the battered creature out of its misery.
For a moment, all is quiet as you stare at the three dead cart-horse-sized moles around you.
Then...the earth rumbles beneath your feet, and explodes! Quentin and Del, standing at a safe distance, witness as Raven and Elwin are hurled aside. Mindartis, warned by his innate sense of danger, rolls free. (Raven and Elwin are knocked prone 10 feet away, and take 3 bludgeoning damage--Mindartis takes half damage.)
Mole 4 seems to have run into another pocket of Beezger's growth potion while underground...it is now the size of an elephant, and possibly still growing.
(Del and Elwin are up, followed by the rest of the party!)

MOVE: Stand up from prone, then 10 feet to close with the last mole. ACTION: One-handed spear, Attack roll: 24, Damage incl. crit: 7 BONUS: Back-end of spear, Attack roll: 12, Damage incl. crit: 6
"By the gods!" thought Elwin as he looked up at the beast and coughed from the dust, realizing the mole was still growing. They had to put it down NOW.
The warlock rolled onto his feet, then with a roar charged the animal, lunging just as he closed. Finding the spear sinking into flesh, he yanked it free, then shifted the weapon to grab it just behind the head as he spun, using the extra length for a more certain (if weaker) second strike, before finally re-securing his grip and returning to his spear-on-shield stance.

Quentin makes a, "This is ridiculous comment." About how big this mole is before pointing his wand at a shovel and muttering a few arcane words. Suddenly the shovel lifts up and shoots towards the mole like it was just shot out of a cannon.

The spear of Elwin flashes in the evening sun as he scores two more hits on the huge beast! Mindartist delivers a mighty blow, and Raven gets a slash in as Megamole ducks Quentin's amazing flying shovel and Del picks up the tempo of his fiddling.
The strains of the bard's violin fill the gigantic creature with terror, and it flees in the safest direction it knows--DOWN. Mindartis's blade trims a hair or two from the mole's retreating backside, but does not connect. Raven and Elwin manage to strike the foe. Badly wounded, but still alive, Megamole burrows hastily away, leaving a large tunnel behind it.
Bloody and smeared with dirt, Beezger and Teydaar stagger to join you and stare in horror.
"It's getting away!" wails Beezger.
"That thing's immense! What if it comes up in the dorms? Or the city?" says Teydaar.

"Then we shan't let it!" roars Elwin as he jumps into the hole left behind by the giant mole.
His intent is to simply run down the tunnel as fast as possible, bracing the end of his spear on his shoulder, so that the first thing that will strike the mole is the head of his spear. There's a little more to the plan, including relying on what's left of his Armor of Agathys, but hopefully it won't go any further than striking the thing once more....
He's also not going to spend more than a few rounds trying to catch up to the thing.
Del will Dash after Elwin and megamole, longbow still in his hand, arrow ready ((he never got out his fiddle, DW is a V only spell)) and continuing the song Och varför ska ni binda mig? Ty du var ej mö när du kom till mig.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Quentin heads over to the hole and rather than going down it saying, "I will not be playing in dirt." Aim's wand straight down and just sends down a bolt of arcane fire, thinking the mole couldn't possibly travel 120 feet yet.
Elwin charges into the darkness, spear before him! Quentin's firebolt provides a little illumination, briefly. Del is with him, bow at the ready! Raven and Quentin wait cautiously (and cleanly) above ground. (Mindartis?)
The ground under your feet is covered in loose, unweildy soil, and the gigantic mole kicks back more as it burrows rapidly. You stumble along in its wake, peppered with flying dirt and rock, and it seems impossible to catch up, especially for the human who can see nothing.
Then you hear a sickening crunch ahead, and the mole stops, long enough for you to catch up. It turns to one side and begins digging again, but feebly. The mole hunters can see it stopping occasionally and shaking its head.
Slowly, light begins to seep into the tunnel from cracks in the underground wall that the mole ran into. The broken wall falls away, revealing a lighted chamber. An elf and four satyrs stare at you, dumbfounded, mouths gaping.
You can attack now, as the mole recovers form the collision-this may be your only chance to finish Megamole!

Del has been keeping the song up as they scrambled through the earth Och hade jag mig en trogen vän, Som bore de ord till min fader ikväll… when he sees the confused mole he sends an arrow ( Longbow 18 if hit damage is 11 ) Poor little guy, can't allow you to wreck everything though

The grin on Elwin's face was ear-to-ear. He'd only hunted smaller animals--usually for food--as a child, but now that he'd caught THIS one... it was exhilarating!
"You'll not escape, foul beast!" he yelled as he again lunged with his spear. The space was tight, and he wasn't sure he'd finished it; so he next grasped the weapon at its midpoint before spinning it vertically to deliver a blow with the back end, all before pivoting back.
With a last reverberating shriek that makes the ground tremble and dirt rain from the ceiling, Megamole collapses under the double onslaught of Del and Elwin. The mighty beast, largest of his kind, is no more.
Teydaar and Beezger approach from behind you. "Thank goodness," says Beezgar, then adds, "Oh, I am SO flunking this class..."

Breathing hard, and covered in dirt and grime, Elwin's smile was untarnished. He turned to the gnome and put his hand on his shoulder. "Perhaps," he said between breaths, "but seems to me you've made a fine livestock breeder!"
Looking toward the light, he blinked a bit--confused for a second by the gift of darkvision having apparently been bestowed by his patron during the fight--before seeing four figures in a chamber. "Aye? Who's all this?"
Raven will move to attack a mole, prefering the injured one...
Primary hand to hit: 24
Damage: 9
Off-hand to hit: 22
Damage: 1
Sneak attack: 2
She will do a bonus action hide again, if the mole goes down, otherwise a bonus action disengage and move away.
Mindartis turns his attention to the mole closest to him, taking a swing at it once again.
