The battle rages on. Riverwind sustains several more claw and spear attacks (18 damage) while pummeling one of the attackers. Goldmoon's staff continues to flare as she holds others at bay. The two plainspeople are quickly joined by Sturm and Caramon, who cut down two of the attackers, sustaining some light wounds in return (5 damage each). The felled monks also turn to stone, but Sturm and Caramon pull their swords away in time.
Raistlin puts one of the monks to sleep with his spell, while Tasslehoff slings stones into the fray. Tanis and Flint gang up on the leader, but Flint loses his battleaxe when the creature turns to stone. Switching to a handaxe, he continues to fight. Tanis takes a hit from one of the other monks (7 damage)
Several more of the monks tear free from their robes, revealing winged reptilian forms.
Glancing over his shoulder, Raistlin sees a new source of concern. Another pack of the dragonmen are coming down the road from the east. They are about six hundred feet away.

I aim to misbehave
Raistlin called out to the rest of the group with much more power and authority than he had previously used - the pain and discomfort surpressed due to the danger. "Tanis, Caramon, it's a pincher move! Another group of creatures is coming from the east! There could be others I haven't seen as well."
Raistlin will cast Shield and Mirror Image, then not stand down from the coming threat. He will cast Web on the group when they are within range. While waiting he will try and cast sleep on the monks the rest of the group is dealing with.

"Flint, gaurd my back," Tanis calls out to his friend as he sprints his way closer to the oncoming dragonmen, When he is just out of range with his bow he draws it, knocking his arrows, readying himself to fire as rapidly as he can once they move into range. He sets himself to keep firing until they are 20 feet away, at which point he will draw his sword and back up towards the rest of the companions.

Flint follows Tanis to watch his back. If there is time he will fire off a shot with his light crossbow (ranged +6, damage 1d8) and then pick his handaxe back up. BUT Flint wants to make sure none of the other dragon-monks are following him and Tanis first, if not he will take the shot... "Bloody monsters took me best axe!?! I'll kill em for that!"

Sturm will try to finish off the 'monks' at the cart first, protecting the retreat of those going to face the flank as best he can.

If no longer in melee, Riverwind will draw his bow and attack the approaching dragon-men, while feeling a vague sense of deja-vu. If healed by the staff, he will wonder at the power of the goddes, while thanking Chieftan's daughter for her aid.

Sturm, Caramon, Flint, and Riverwind continue to battle the dragon-men near the cart, as the remainder of the "monks" shed their robes. The fighting is thick and fast, but the companions soon have the upper hand. Sturm and Flint suffer light wounds (7 and 4 damage, respectfully), but they hang on to their remaining weapons.
Goldmoon touches Riverwind lightly with the staff, and healing power flows from her (cure serious wounds, 11 healed).
Raistlin's spell power is impressively displayed as he prepares for the coming ambushers. He sleeps another enemy near the cart, then shields himself. A moment later multiple versions of the gold-skinned mage stand in the robe, waiting for the coming attack.
Tanis moves to his side and opens fire with the bow. When the attackers are close, Raistlin entangles them in a web. Although some of the dragon-men avoid the trap and others throw spears (destroying two of Raistlin's images and hitting Tanis for 4 damage), it becomes clear that their advantage is lost. Tanis's shots are soon joined by Riverwind's arrows and Flint's crossbow bolts.
Within three minutes, the melee is over. Dragon-men statues litter the roadway, along with two live captives in the web. At least two of the dragon-men escaped into the woods to the south of the trail.
There is a strange cracking noise, and the stone figure slain by Riverwind falls to dust, freeing his sword. One by one the other stone figures disintegrate.

Flint spits on the ground and goes to recover his battle axe from the now destoryed dragon man... "What in the hell where these things? Cursed men of that staff maybe..."
