OOC: by approaching to within 20 feet of Solomon, the dog has triggered Solomon's readied action. He throws his MW throwing axe. +5 1d6 +3
"Get out!" Solomon shouts.
OOC2: You've got Jasper pretty far forward. I think he just meant to step off the ladder. Solomon wouldn't have wanted him to step in front of him.

"Trolm, go up and lift the grate out of the way," Oculus says in a low voice before uttering some more arcane words.
ooc: casting Shield. Oculus still has both feet planted firmly on the ground.

OOC Ok I corrected Jasper position and indicated Dai's position
Also I add the following to last turn action.
Solomon surges from the shadow as the dog closes on the group. (roll 12+5+4 for being invisible to the dog;dmg 3+3)
The axe falls on the dog's back, seriously wounding it. It stays conscious but seems extremely weak. The dog makes a few more steps limping and drops on the ground.

Solomon Kreel
Solomon motions the others back. He will retreat if possible, to the other side of the ladder as the others climb, hopefully putting himself out of charge range from Gror (MEA), then take up a defensive stance. (Full defense - standard action, +4 AC to AC 20). (this is assuming he will act again before Gror, which is dubious).
"Can you slow him down with any spells?" he asks.
Solomon anticipates being the last one up the ladder.

"No! We need his sword arm down here."
OOC: By my understanding, Jasper would have started this round in the water next to Oculus, and now be next to Dai as he takes a 5' step forward. He then uses a MEA to move the flaming sphere 30' towards the battle, and readies an action to cast color spray on Gror as soon he is in range. (DC 15 will save or various things happen depending on his level.)
Since the soldier moved in between Gror and Solomon, Gror won't be able charge, so that's not really a concern at this point. Going up the ladder really isn't a viable plan for the characters here. Climbing makes you flatfooted, provokes AoOs, and requires a DC 15 check which pretty hard for most of the party. One more or two people might make it while he cut the rest of the party down from behind. Since I don't think any of the characters plan on being the one to ditch his friends, the only way we're getting out of here is taking out Gror.

"Maybe. But we are not going to be able to get out of here while he is stilll standing." Jasper takes a step forward as he wills the flaming sphere back in this direction, and prepares a spell to 'slow him down'.Manzanita said:

Solomon puts himself in a defensive stance ready to receive Gror's charge.
Jasper with putrid water sligthly above his waist ready concentrates on the ball of fire. The flaming sphere slowly make it's way toward Gror. He also ready a spell on him.
Oculus hidden behind Solomon and Dai cast his shield spell.
Gror observe the flaming ball approaching behind him, turns around and notice the wizard and barbarian waiting for him to act. He lower his sword and with a sign of the hand orders the soldier to lower his crossbow. "What are you trying to do here" echos the former militian voice. "You don't stand a chance against us. You don't know what you are against. We aren't a small group of thug that simple village hero like yourself can stop" Gror says with an evil grin on his face.
"Things as you might start to discover are much more complicated than the Prumen massacre. The warrior slowly approaches the group while he was talking (about 10') keeping a wary eye on the wizard and the barbarian.

"He's sent the other soilder for reinforcements. We must get out of here. Come on Jasper. GO!"
OOC: Solomon will back 5 feet towards the ladder, still on full defensive, and urge Trolm to climb out. My understanding is that the climb check was only necessary when Solomon was going to carry Jraq's body. Anyone could climb out. There is no soldier between Solomon & Gror; only a dying dog. Solomon has no desire to fight Gror now, only to escape. I believe Dai was going to cast a spell on Gror...
OOC2: I'll be checking out for a long weekend later today. I'm heading up to Portland to run my first marathon. Wish my knees luck!

OOC Good luck, I remember when my father back in his day did the Marathon. It wasn't something easy.
OOC Climb DC 10 to go up the ladder because of the pressure.

If he thinks he can do so without Gror hearing, Jasper hisses quietly to Solomon "My spells are more capable of stopping him than anything you can do. Go and I will stall him."Either way he motions for the others to climb out As he calls out to Gror; "We are not all simple villagers. I would rather not wait around here for your friends to show up, but if you force me I can certainly incinerate you in the mean time. If you wish to talk further, then it will have to be somewhere more... aromatic."
OOC: Jasper moves the sphere 30' closer or until its 10' behind the soldier, whichever is first. He keeps color spray readied to be cast if Gror takes any offensive action. Bluff +0 to convince Gror that he has a powerful spell ready to go. Hopefully Gror's sense motive is just as bad.
Sense motive +8 to see if Gror believes him, and read any underlying meaning in his response.
Good luck Manzanita!
