Cairn forced his now-enormous rocky self through the roots of the old tree, breaking some off as he reached under to smash at the black pudding.
Kaliban shuffled through the moss, working his way around to the other side of Ethian as the elf concentrated on finishing off the slime-creature with searing light and spirit-weapon. Suddenly, a Meenlock appeared from under the tree's roots and came rushing at him! Another slipped past, heading norward around the pillar.
Hawthorne and Argenti were watching the battle with the slime, but a rustling sound in the moss from the tunnel behind Argenti caught Hawthorne's attention. As sneaky as Meenlocks were, the keen observation skills of the Black Dragon agent allowed him to shout a warning to the genasi.
OOC:
Cairn & Ethian finish off the black pudding. Meenlocks appear! Anyone who hasn't taken an action this round can still go.
Crock Jon had just retrieved his net, and was about to tie it up again, when the creatures attacked. There's one of them next to Kaliban, so Crock Jon moves into position and attempts to entangle it, but the net gets caught on his fist and falls uselessly to the ground.
Hawthorne shouts and points as the pair of meenlocks appear in the corridor behind the young woman. He then immediately reloads his crossbow and rushes up and slams his back against the northern wall, dropping out of view of the two fey creatures. He then begins slowly and silently moving to his right towards the corridor before suddenly dropping to one knee and leaning out to aim at one of them, the crossbolt bolt flying out and

Cairn. I started with a C but I have no idea where my brain went after that. Kaliban dashed to where he is (moss is still DT) but so did the meenlock. They can square off next round. I will roll it soon.
With Hawthorne's warning, Argenti pulled back into the room while flinging glowing rocks at the first meenlock to be moving down the tunnel slope into the chamber. The meenlock stumbled, and Hawthorne popped out from his hiding spot at the mouth of the tunnel and shot the creature in the face. It tumbled forward into the moss and lay still.
Crock Jon climbed around the roots of the tree and got his net tangled once more. As he went to throw it, it was caught on a root, and he cursed himself for a fool.
OOC:
Argenti & Hawthorne together do 23 to ML4, which was its HP, so it's down.
