It's just waiting on me now - I haven't had time to create the next encounter.

You've just finished digging the first pit and started on the second when you hear the next band of mercenaries approaching.
[sblock=OOC]
Please choose where on the last map your characters will start, and roll initiative.
Also choose 1 square to hold a pit trap, and whoever is covering it give me a Nature roll to see how well it's hidden.
Finally, choose 1 other square to hold a 2-foot deep pit that you've just started digging: this square will be difficult terrain.

From where?
How many?
Perception = 1d20+10=24
If Joe will allow it, everyone might as well pitch in an "aid another" for the Nature check on the pit trap concealment. I'm guessing that Tristan would be the one actually performing the job. He's got the best Nature modifier.
Aid Another/Nature (for pit trap concealment): = 1d20+5 = 24
I hope Tristan rolls a 20, or else this roll might have been better used for the actual concealment instead of aiding
.
Mikara's starting position will depend on where the pit traps are.

[sblock=OOC]Guys, I think we're just going to have to resign ourselves to the fact that Joe is not going to let us sleep until we've finished this adventure. After this, I suspect that we should forget about the extended rest, try to get back to the temple, and end this thing.[/sblock]

This is to find out where you're positioned when you first become aware of the approaching enemy, so I need to know where you are before I tell you what's going on. (Presumably some of you are digging a pit while at least one person keeps watch.)

Well since the pit traps were Tonks idea I think that he would be the best person to locate them.
IMO Mikara would be our best choice to place on watch while Blade and Tristan help Tonk dig holes. Dextyr would have then been busy setting up camp behind the rock.
Just my thoughts on the situation - please toss out anything better if you've got something.

[sblock=OOC]Sounds like a reasonable plan, DMDan. Tristan, at least, would be digging the hole with Tonk, wherever that ends up being.
Offhand, I think G15 and J13 would be good spots for a couple of pits for no other reason than sort-of equal spacing along the edge of the trees. If Ken has better ideas, go for it. Assuming that placement for the pits, I'd put Tristan at K13. If the pits are elsewhere, I'd like Tristan to be next to the pit and in the trees, if possible.
I'd think that the camp is in the south crook of the rock, where those four little line things are on the map. (What are those, anyway? Do they matter?)
Is Mikara keeping watch from the top of the rock? Seems like a nice spot to be sniper/lookout from
Initiative (1d20+4=16)
Nature to hide the finished pit (1d20+6=25). With a +2 from Mikara's aid check, that's 27. If anyone else helps and gets 10 or better, it could be even higher
=========================
EDIT: we needed healing after that last fight. Since we were settling in for a long rest, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume two short rests so Dex could get his healing back.
Tonk, Blade, and Mikara could all get to full hp by spending a surge with Dex's song of rest bonus. Up to them.
On the other hand, Dex and I were hurtin'. I propose this:
Dex was down 22. One majestic word + song of rest heals 7+4+4, leaving him at 21/28 with 6/10 surges.
Tristan was down 17. One majestic word + song of rest heals 7+4+4, leaving him at 26/28 with 4/9 surges. [/sblock]
