Kaeysari swings her glaive at the snake monster, striking it hard.
"I've got this one, Az," she says. "Get clear if you need to."
Seeing her kobold friend in dire straits and surrounded by enemies she shouts "Buck up, Papolstaanas. The gods are on our side here!", then she steps forward and takes another swing at the snake, bringing it close to death. One more shot should do it.
[sblock=actions]5 acid damage (ongoing)
Standard: Covering Attack vs. Snakey Thing: 1d20+8=25 4d4+4=14. Snake is marked and Azryah can shift two squares.

Papolstaanas brightens at Kaeysari's words. "I do feel better, actually," he says a little doubtfully. (He doesn't look much better.) He staggers away from the enemies engaging him, somehow evading their blows, and swings his hammer in the direction of the large snake-monster, even though it is much too far away. But the hammer flies out of his hands and crushes the creature's head, then slides back to Papolstaanas along the ground, as though buoyed up by the grass.
[sblock=actions]I was going to rearrange the critters but putting down the big thing seems more important.
Papolstaanas gains 11 hp and loses a surge.

Papolstaanas takes 5 ongoing.
Free: mark all adjacent. (Broodling 3 and both lashers)
Minor: shift to K6 (where the vortex was).
Standard: thorn strike on big snakey thing. 1d20+8=28 1d10+5=12 is a crit on something with one HP left. Hee.

Chaku grits his teeth in frustration as the others finally bring the snakebeast down. Turning, he sets his sights on the mud lashers before him. Seeing the divine glow of Merkari illuminating the far foe, the goliath steps up, his maul whirling up a new "vortex" of mud, rock, and grass as it spins in his hands. Leaping high above the beast, he brings it crashing down with all his might. The lasher goes to slither out of the way, but Merkari is not one to be triffled with, and the lasher slips on an unusually wet patch of mud and lands flat on his back. His foe now open, the hammer strikes home, the impact spraying mud, and mud lasher, everywhere.
With a foe finally falling before him, he bellows in triumph, feeling envigorated by the mudlust.

[sblock=Last round: "Virtue of Prescience"]Ok, this was used to prevent the hit on Kaeysari last turn - perhaps Jynxx nobly jumped in the way to shield her, resulting in the crit on himself? 
So Kaeysari regains 10 hp to 28, and also didn't take the 5 ongoing at the start of her turn.[/sblock]
[sblock=Last round: Bond of Retribution]Yes Mud Lasher 1 took 3 from that, I missed it. And I'll go ahead and give you the vulnerability as well so it took 8 total.[/sblock]
Azryah pulls her feet free of the mud as the acid continues to burn her. She uses the mud to glide to the side and brings her sword to bear against the vortex. As her sword cuts through the swirling mass, the mud seems to freeze up; and when the sword breaks out the other side, the thing shatters completely.
Pivoting sharply, her rage burning as she was burned, she arcs the sword up and brings it down again upon the giant snake thing that burrows so adeptly around the field. The cold doesn't seem to affect it as harshly, but she still deals it a mighty blow, the edges of its wounds turning a pale blue as the cold runs through its veins.

Perhaps affected by the death of their mother (or father? or both?), the broodlings go into a sudden frenzy, blindly attacking whoever is closest to them. Their attacks are ineffective, save for one that slips past the avenger's defenses and gouges a deep wound in her leg with a sharp mandible. As the creatures attack or just get close to the deva (one is pushed by a mysterious sudden gust of wind), glowing energy arcs off her and they explode in small showers of chitin, ichor, and mud. Only two remain.
The last mud creature shows no fear or anger or hesitation after the destruction of its fellows. Perhaps that is simply because it has no face. But in any case, it continues to fight. It rolls away from the deva, having seen the broodlings' fate, and lashes out at Chaku. Its attack is feeble and misses badly - perhaps its resolve is shaken after all?
[sblock=Warden's Grasp]Triggers Warden's Grasp... you might want to slide it back next to Azryah for the 8 hp damage, but maybe not, since that won't trigger the Stirring Shout heal. It might be better to finish it with actual attacks? (It has 21 hp left.)
(By the way, the target of Warden's Grasp is only slowed/cannot shift until the end of the target's turn... so that is moot in this situation.)[/sblock]
[sblock=Almost over!]All right, you can probably wrap this up this round!
FYI, I'm going to be out of town this weekend and unable to post. Not even to answer questions and the like. But I will be checking in tomorrow (Friday) before I go!

- Standard: Mandible Rip vs. Az Mandible Rip (w/CA) vs. Az (1d20+4+2=19) Just hits AC 19! (I'm not missing any modifiers am I?) 6 damage to Az (bloodied), then broodling dies from Avenging Echo.
- Mandible Rip vs. Kaey. Mandible Rip vs. Kaeysari (1d20+4=12) Miss.
- End Turn: explode from Avenging Echo.
- Mandible Rip (CA, Marked) vs. Chaku (1d20+4+2-2=10) Miss.
- Papol can use Warden's Grasp - I'm going to assume he uses it to slide the broodling to L6, adjacent to Azryah, so that...
- End Turn: explode from Avenging Echo.
- Mandible Rip vs Papol (1d20+4=11) Miss.
Broodling 6 - Move to K2 (tunneling out to surface)
- Charge to L4 Mandible Rip (charge) vs Chaku (1d20+4+1=16) Miss.

[sblock=Terrain]
Pasture Fence This low wooden fence provides cover to creatures behind it. It takes a DC 10 Athletics check to climb or hurdle it. (There are gaps in it as well.)
Deep Mud The entire pasture is fairly muddy, but the brown areas are especially deep mud. When a character enters or starts his turn in an area of deep mud, he is slowed until the end of his turn, unless he succeeds at a DC 15 athletics check. (You only must make the check once per turn - if you succeed, you can move normally in the mud for the rest of the turn.)
Stream difficult terrain
Rocks/Boulders - difficult terrain, and provide cover.
Tunnel Entrance - The large snake creature leaves tunnels behind it when it burrows. Tunnel entrances are marked by craters on the map. (e.g., P10) Treat the crater as difficult terrain if you just want to enter the square but not the tunnel. Stunt attacks to create new entrances may be possible if you know where the tunnel is - or are inside and want to make an exit.
Tunnels Tunnels are indicated by reddish brown lines on the map. (Not all tunnels are shown, only those that a PC has entered or seen.) There is bright light in the entrance square, dim light in areas within 1 or 2 squares of an entrance, and darkness farther in.
Medium creatures (and the snake thing of course) can enter these tunnels and move through them. Entering the tunnel at an entrance is automatic and no movement cost beyond entering the entrance square; leaving the tunnel and going back on the surface at an entrance requires a DC 10 Athletics check (this moves you from underground to the surface of the entrance square at a cost of 1 movement; failure ends the move action).
(If it isn't obvious, there is no line of sight or effect between creatures that are underground and creatures on the surface, except at the entrance squares... creatures at the entrance squares have cover against each other if they are on opposite sides of the surface)
