We held the door shut, and engaged in ranged combat with the orcs from the hidey holes, and ended up bullrushing some of the orcs that came through the door into the pit.I think we just left the bear locked up.We killed the roper - I'm pretty sure that it attacks you as soon as it's within sight. It dragged one person all the way too it (and they then stood up and attacked the body), and someone else charged it. We ended up with one person being knocked unconscious and washed away in the river IIRC, but we managed to rush ahead of them and save them.Not one of us even considered negotiation, which is supposedly what the encounter is supposed to suggest - the thing was killing our buddies in an unprovoked attack!The dragon was the biggest pain, because our DM had advanced it one category, and thus it had darkness 3/day, which it could see through.Naturally a low level group doesn't have anything which could possibly counter that spell, and that meant all we could do was attempt to damage it a bit with lucky shots and then retreat.Luckily, each time we managed to damage it enough to make it not want to pursue us.I think the stalemate ended with it retreating from the lair entirely.</blockquote>
