Round 2
Most of the creatures seem distracted by the shining lights Colgrave created and seemed all-together unaffected by Experiment 354b's efforts.
Kaelan struggles with the ooze and finally breaks free, but the ooze quickly pulls him back in and then slides across the battlefield toward other prey with Kaelan still securely encased within it.
The tentacled humanoid is momentarily distracted by the shining lights and is dragged right up to them, but once it reaches them it seems stung and, finding them of no more interest, moves back the way it came. It lashes out at Thalin with one of its long tentacles, but Thalin is too quick for it, and it misses him.
The first two-headed creature, looking very bloody and bedraggled at this point, is also dragged toward the shining lights. Unfortunately for him, he also finds them painful, and it's simply too much for him to bear. He falls over on the spot.
The second two-headed creature is dragged right up to the lights, but doesn't seem to find them as daunting as the others. Still, he sees no reason to waste time with them when the people who hurt his brother are so near. He moves slowly, fighting the pull of the lights, toward Thalin and bashes him on the head with a large club. After a moment's pause, the creature bashes Thalin with the club again.

[sblock=Terrain and other Environment Info]
Trees & Rocks: Provide cover in the normal way. You can stand in the squares that have branches in them, but not the actual rocks or tree trunks, unless the rock is in only a tiny fraction of the square.
The Mist: Is a bit like a thick fog. Any creature more than 20 feet away is considered to have concealment unless you have blindsight.
There is no difficult terrain or anything. Just a road with a lot of low, dead grass around it. The map is attached. I apologize for my abysmal drawing skills. If you need clarification on what anything is, please ask.[/sblock]
[sblock=Monster Knowledge Check: Dungeoneering 15]These are all aberrant creatures. You recognize the tentacle covered humanoid as something called a dolgaunt. The small, 2-headed creatures appear to be dolgrim, and you've heard that warriors of their ilk lurk in The Mournlands. The large ooze is more of a mystery, but you think it may be what the stories refer to as living darkness. It is certainly large an black enough to have earned the name.
[sblock=Dungeoneering 20]You've heard that the dolgaunt can suck the life from a person with its long tentacles.
The dolgrim are simple creatures, from what you remember, but very strong. You also remember a story about each head seeming to act on its own.
Living darkness isn't something many people have encountered and lived to tell about. You suspect that, like most other ooze creatures you've encountered in your travels, it will attempt to absorb its prey.
[sblock=Dungeoneering 25]Living darkness is immune to gaze and poison effects, and it's jelly-like nature seems to make most attacks less effective than normal. It is known to be vulnerable to radiant damage.
The dolgrim, with their warring heads, are likely weak against psychic attacks.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]

I'll make those rolls, yes, since they technically count as opportunity attacks. Easier that way anyway, since something could shift a particular one somewhere else before it started it's turn. No need for you to potentially waste rolls.
