Saros tries his memorized spell one more time. The target's eye lock in place, staring into the distance for a couple of seconds. Blood pours out of the man's earholes as he slumps backward. (Toothless takes 17 necrotic damage and is DEFEATED.)
Darrik, who was about to hit Toothless in the head, gnarls and changes his target in the last second. He bonks Cat Keeper on the head, though the large goliath lady doesn't look too bothered by it. (Cat Keeper takes 6 bludgeoning damage.)
Saros then looks back into the tunnel behind him. The gnome ends up staring a bit too long at Blip the stabby-grung before simply facing forward again.

Pushing himself up from the ground, Ghee follows Bleep's bolt, forming up along Darrik now out of his bear form and laying into Catkeeper with first and elbow strikes.
Attack 1: 23 Damage: 7

Bonus Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Panting after his assault, Ghee points to the assembled crossbow wielding dwarves at the end of the bridge, "Ye best run back tae yer mother's skirts ya worthless peons, 'fore ye get yer arses whipped!"

Not wanting to waste any precious seconds, Bleep shoots another bolt at the enemy group without coating it in his grung slime. The bolt travels flawlessly through the air but, at the exact moment of impact with Cat Keeper's chest, her skin turn to a shade of gray and the bolt snaps. She still bleeds, but the projectile never sinks into her flesh. (Cat Keeper takes 11 piercing damage.)
Ghee sees a chance to finally get up close and personal with the enemies. He advances to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with his fellow dwarf and delivers two punches and an elbow strike to Cat Keeper's gut. Her skin does not change colors this time. (Cat Keeper takes 13 magical bludgeoning damage.)
One of the dwarven miners looks at his brethren to see if any of them are reacting to Ghee's threat. He looks afraid for a moment, but steels himself once he notices his fellows are not running... at least not yet.
Cat Keeper was still expecting her axe to only find the resistance of bear fur at the end of her swings. Instead, they both glance harmlessly off Darrik's dwarven armor.

With CatKeeper in close combat with Bearrik, Ang takes her time to aim with her crossbow. Healing Ghee made her feel better about the outcome of this battle (using inspiration). Crossbow: 21 ; damage = 7 + 15
Aiming true, Ang then direct Bleep to attack Toothless "There, bottom left of his armor !" (Master of tactics)
Feeling specially inspired as she loads her crossbow, Ang aims carefully and squeezes the trigger. Cat Keeper cannot stop this bolt from breaking her skin. (Cat Keeper takes 21 piercing damage.)
Ang then seeks to share some of her good feeling by pointing to a specially under-protected part of the goliath's torso to Bleep.
NOTES: Notable enemies have been color-coded. Variant "Hitting Cover" rule applies, though I will no longer post cover reminders in the initiative tracker above as it depends on the angle of the incoming attack.
Khan took a moment more to read the scene, and couldn't but nod approvingly to her grung for each foe put down or wounded in the frackas. A small part of her even wondered if all the rush had been necessary. A very small part. As the moment she thought to why they were in the situation they were, a cold anger began to settle into her heart. So it was with an re-affirmed focus that she crouch down on the wall, marked her trajectory, and then further than Grung has ever even dreamed of doing so, sprang from the wall like an arcing bullet, cover well over 50ft within a seconds!
By the time anyone registers the orange blur for what it was, the would-be noble is sprung forward again at the miners with menace in her eyes, and battle axe in hand. The weight of which she used in rapidly building momentum into a roundhouse kick for one, hopefully knocking them into the waters. Then like a petite dancer expertly sprung onto a precarious edge by most standards, spinning into elbow strike to another dwarf meant to stagger them into off the bridge to join their friend.
Or, if in that brief second she had to eyeball a future landing, she snaps into a low stance with battle axe held above and ready to sweep into a parry motions.

(@Ori: Very nice movement combo with Step of the Wind and Standing Leap. With it and some walking, you can certainly reach {E-47}. That said, I don't see how jumping counts as forced movement. Falling does, but not long jumping. So, an opportunity attack could still occur. In this case, we'll just say that Khan leaps in an arc that puts her beyond the enemy's reach, since she is jumping so far.)
Khan performs a nearly-impossible leap even among the grung, bypassing the melee at the bridge. (1 Ki point used for Step of the Wind.)
She uses her battleaxe to assist her balance, especially as she simultaneously lands and kicks one of the dwarves off the bridge. Still holding his crossbow, this miner fails to grab the edge and plummets to his certain death and watery coffin. (Agile Parry activates; Dwarf Miner #2 takes 6 bludgeoning damage and then FALLS TO HIS DEATH.)
Khan then takes another couple of steps and uses the momentum created to shove another miner. This miner's stalky build comes to his aid, and he manages to hold fast.
Their next planned volley completely ruined by the sudden appearance of another frogling, the miners drop their crossbows and pull out rusty curved blades that have possibly belonged to some of the many bodies in the ditch the party found earlier.
These miners are not trained in swordsmanship, and it shows. Nonetheless, one of them gets a lucky swipe in while Khan parries the other two. (Khan takes 2 slashing damage.)
Seeing that Khan has somehow engaged with the dwarves in melee, Saros abandons his cover (and stabby stabby) and moves his full 25 feet (to S44) and then points at Cat Keeper again, invoking Toll the Dead (WIS 15 save or take 18 damage).
Darrik keeps up his frothing assault on Cat Keeper, but moves around to the back of her (reckless once again, what's the point of having 56+ hit points if you aren't going to use them).

Saros comes out of his hiding spot and advances a bit toward the battle. While he moves, he once again forces bells to toll in his foe's head. This time however, the spell seems to fail.
Darrik circles around the same foe and almost trips while swinging his quarterstaff. Needless to say, the attack never makes contact with its target, and the whole scene looks a bit comical.

Noticing his friends are having a tough time hitting Cat Keeper, Bleep focuses double-hard on his next shot. He coats his next dart in grung goo, aims at the spot Angmentioned, and squeezes the trigger.
The bolt hits the goliath warrior just above the nose and sinks almost to the its flat end. Cat Keeper collapses to the ground like a child's rag doll would. A single drop of blood leaves her newest wound and slowly makes its way to her chin... (Cat Keeper takes 46 piercing and poison damage and is DEFEATED.)
A dirty, brown-spotted cat leaps out from within the goliath's heavy coat and dashes out of the scene.
(@MB: I'm giving you a new target since Cat Keeper just kicked the bucket.)
The "barricade" finally broken, Ghee speeds forward {E-45} and delivers three quick attacks to the head of the first miner he reaches. Once the third strike hits, the miner's head caves inward. (Dwarven Miner #3 takes 15 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED.)
