Tanith fires a crossbow bolt at the ant, saving her arcane spells for a better use.

[sblock=OOC]Since Dyspeer knows the Defend trick, I think my assumption is that Dyspeer holds attacks and stands ground near Shai whenever the wolf has a better initiative (unless, of course, Shai's being directly attacked, in which case Defend kicks in and he tries to help).
I'm not sure if you want to play that as Dyspeer skipping an action in the first round, or Dyspeer delaying until Shai's initiative (and thus taking a new initiative slot). Either works fine for me.[/sblock]
Dyspeer lowers his body as his hackles rise, but he stays at Shai's side as the creature attacks Courage.
"Stay ready, friend," Shai whispers to his wolf companion, raising his bow and letting off a shot at the ant, himself.
[sblock=OOC]Dyspeer's still on guard for Shai. Shai attacks with his Composite Longbow: +6 attack, damage 1d8+3, crit x3[/sblock]

[sblock]Whenever Dyspeer has a higher initiative than you, I will assume that he will delay his initiative in order to act upon your command unless, like you said, you are being attacked in melee, in which case Dyspeer will act normally on his turn unless you state otherwise. Sounds good to me.

Courage drops her bow, and reaches for her axe, which, in a single graceful motion, she brings down on the carapace of the insect.

Behind the echoes of Dyspeers growling and barking, the ant snaps it's giant mandibles at Courage, who sidesteps again as she drops her bow and spins around, coming back with her greataxe in a graceful swing, yet ineffective swing.
Shai's arrow and Tanith's bolt both whiz by the melee combatants, hitting neither.
Jonas comes up on the ant's flank, but his rapier bounces off the creatures carapace.
** End Round 1 **

** Round 2 **
22 Dyspeer: growls and holds his ground (delays initiative)
18 Giant ant: snaps at Courage (11+1=miss)
12 Dyspeer: bites at the ant (18+6=hit, 2+2=4 damage)
12 Shaimon Hu'u: moves in and attacks with his warhammer, holding it in two hands (19+8=hit, 4+5=9 damage, ant dies)
8 Tanith Dathius:
6 Courage Bloodstone (flanking ant):
6 Jonas Cleighton (flanking ant):

Tanith reloads and fires.
The axe comes down, glancing of the chitinous exoskeleton, but its momentum continues its journey beside Courage's knees, behind her back, and up over her head. At the top of its arc, her left hand joins the right, and she brings down the axe with another mighty swing.

Shai frowns, dropping his bow in disgust.
"I really need to practice more," he mutters. "Might as well do it the old-fashioned way for now."
A quick nod toward the ant sends Dyspeer into the fray. Shai comes up behind, drawing his warhammer and bringing it down with both hands.
[sblock=OOC]Dyspeer: Move to ant, bite attack +6, 1d6+2 damage w/ free trip on a hit
Shai: free actions to drop bow and give Dyspeer the Attack command. Draw warhammer as part of move into ant. Attack two-handed: +8, Damage 1d8+5 (x3 crit)[/sblock]

As the giant ant moves in again on Courage, Shai and his faithful Dyspeer move in and bring the thing down in unison, a near perfect kill. The others are caught open-mouthed with their weapons raised as the thing falls to the ground motionless.
While the last remnants of life are leaving the abominable ant, the party can hear a dragging sound coming from the tunnel, and Dyspeer begins to bark relentlessly. Any who look down the tunnel will see what appears to be the carcass of a dire boar being dragged down into the tunnel. The carcass fills the entire tunnel, and whatever is pulling it from the other side is having a time of it.
