OOC: Hmm. I don't think I like ENWorld's dice roller. It's results don't show up when I quote or multiquote. Also, please include dice rolls with your posts. Unless I'm being obtuse, I can't locate Shalaye's character sheet.
Monkey Fight! Rounds 1 & 2
"Okay, enough of the monkey-shines, boys! Houba, a little help here?" Kaer says, swinging with the stool at his attackers.
The stool catches on of the monkeys full across the head and chest. Bones snap. The animal twists and staggers, coming to a stop in a ruined heap on the ground. In the next instant, Houba's whip
cracks!, the weighted tip snapping into one of the beasts attacking Anissa. The monkey lets out a brief yelp and then staggers away, barely able to main its balance.
The four monkeys attacking Anissa scatter before Houba's whip, but they don't stay cowed for long. Eyes rolling, screeching in a blood-maddened frenzy, the mob abandons Anissa, who lies on the ground wounded and sobbing, and rushes pell-mell at Kaer. The barbarian uses the stool and his feet to fend off one attack, to block another. Fangs snag his clothes but miss flesh. Despite the flurry of hairy arms and snapping jaws, Kaer manages to evade further injury, at least for the moment. Unfortunately, he'll soon be surrounded, and attacked from all sides if the tide doesn't turn!

Deer Fight, Surprise Round & Round 1
Berm watches as Zantalus follows the sniffing ferret north upstream. It would seem as if the tracks lead in that direction. He and Shalaye follow with Rorbi bringing up the rear. After several yards, everyone can hear sobbing. Then, at a bend in the river, the group comes upon a strange scene. Vandro crouches about fifteen feet up in the boughs of a tree. Mud splotches his clothes and face. Surrounding the trunk are seven deer. They appear intent on Vandro. One lunges upward, raking its antlers through the air, and Vandro cries out in fear.
Berm slips into the cover of the trees, moving quickly and quietly before bursting from cover. His rapier flashes, sliding through the sinew of one the deer's necks. The animal slumps to the ground, blood pulsing from the wound.
Staying as far from the deer holds up three fingers and begins dropping them in an obvious count down before he chants, "Reggib sworra ym ekam cigam rogiv fo luff ronoh fo lluf!"
Shalaye prepares herself for the coming, strange conflict, ensuring that Rorbi stays out of harm's way. Then, the deer attack. They actually attack. Two charge Berm while a third rushes away, coming back toward Berm in a wide circle. Berm slips out of the path of one set of antlers, but he still catches horns in a raking jab to his shoulder and chest. The other three deer rush away from the tree. One moves straight at Zantalus, its head dropping for the charge. The other two rush to the left and right, arcing around toward Zantalus's and Shalaye's flanks. Zantalus jumps to the side as the deer slashes its antlers madly at where the elf had just been standing!
"Mom! Run! Run!" Vandro screams, and Rorbi look as if she is about to panic.
