Hyde still hasn't noticed anything but the foe in front of him. Back and forth they weave, dodge, parry, side-step and lunge in an awful but beautiful dance, and the Half-Orc cannot help but be impressed with the skill of his opponent. At some point unknown even to himself, he cancelled his long-lasting scream that always signals he is in Warrior mode, such is the intensity of the combat.

Init: [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5

To hit: [1d20+3] = 13+3 = 16

Dmg: [1d8+6] = 4+6 = 10

Crit: [1d100] = 43

Chet, still groggy and out of sorts, shouts out weakly to the others as he looks with fear at the claws near his throat. "Don't...provoke...it..." He manages a wink to Yenny in thanks.

Going to move this along...

Dandelion thrusts her trident into the throat of the taunting (but silent), demonic creature. She nearly decapitates the thing, and it slumps to the floor. The first of the quartet has been slain.

Hyde's battle cry is a casualty as he focuses his full effort on his worthy adversary...no matter as Yenny's dweomer would steal its sound anyway. They continue their high-stakes confrontation. Each finds an opening in the other's defenses simultaneously:

Creature attack Hyde [1d20] = 19, crit [1d100] = 16, damage [1d10] = 6

-6 hp!

The creature's jagged blade pierces Hyde's muscular thigh, but our heroic half-orc gets the better of the exchange. Figgis, still fighting from behind, sees Hyde's blade appear through the back of their foe. The erstwhile executioner withdraws his sword and the creature joins his comrade in death. The taking of life in complete silence is surreal.

Kablamicus, still in the hallway, cheers his party gaining the upper hand, though only Angus can hear it. The ranger whacks his cornered opponent in the side of the face with the flat of his blade. This subdual, which would surely have brought a normal creature into submission, does not have this effect. It does a nasty welt on the side of its head, bringing it close to death. It cries in fury at the ranger's strike and words. Though teetering, its reply is swift and savage, rending the woodsman's neck and leg with its sharp claws.

Creature attacks Angus [1d20] = 16, [1d20] = 14 crits [1d100] = 53, [1d100] = 48

Damage to Angus [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7, [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

-10 hp!

It now sees its fallen comrades DM rolls dice, and this increases its resolve. "I'll take you with me then!" it cries, and moves to attack Angus again.

The fourth creature, claws millimeters from Chet's throat, does not react to the death of its...kin? It warily eyes the party, frustrated by its lack of ability to speak. Chet tries to communicate, but his speech too is swallowed by Yenny's power.

Map same as last time, except D is closer to the middle of the room.

Angus, sent reeling at the creature's savage attack, counters weakly as he regains his footing.

Leddilir (THAC0 17): [1d20] = 6 [1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5/[1d12+2] = 2+2 = 4 (SM/L), Crit: [1d100] = 38

Dandelion glides over to assist in dispatching another baddie, but her timing is off.

Chet remains still, a look of annoyance on his face as the creature's claws tickle his throat.

Just to sum things up so far, two of the four enemies have been killed, Angus has one cornered with Dandelion moving to assist, and the fourth is threatening Chet's life if anyone moves aggressively towards it. Due to Yenny's silence spell discussion is impossible outside of the corner where Angus currently is.

Looks at the situation and decides to risk a dart. To Sophomore "Observe."

He lets it fly!

Dart. To hit [1d20] = 20 Damage s [1d3] = 2 l [1d2] = 2
Which one is he aiming at - the one with its claws near Chet's throat or the one fighting Angus?

I thought you assumed the one Angus was handling, per an earlier post. That works for her...
Dandelion - female half-orc beautyqueen in training (The Lone City in the Wildlands) OSRIC
Halfpint - female halfling badgirl wannabe (Lab Lord- The North Marches) LL
Mark'd - charismatic human fighter (Lab Lord- The North Marches) LL

Hoping to take advantage of a possible distraction from the dart hitting claws, Yenny throws herself, shield first, into claws, trying to knock him away from Chet. She looks to be yelling something, but there is no noise, even as her plate armor crashes around.

Initiative [1d6] = 4
Random d20 roll [1d20] = 15

Hyde steps back from his dead but formidable enemy and for the first time realizes the danger Chet is in. Hey! Hey, you! He points his bloodied blade at the throat of his good pal, Get away from him, hah? HAH? Am I makin' noise? What's goin' on? Finally he crouches and grins viciously at the reptile, beckoning it to fight him.

The clawed fiend sees it before Yenny does. Kablamicus steps to his left, pulls a dart from his belt and flings it. Mouth contorted in a silent scream of rage, the horrible bald creature rips two large gashes in Chet's abdomen. The mage's dart sticks in the hip of the hellspawn, causing minor damage.

Creature attacks Chet [1d20] = 18, [1d20] = 15 crits [1d100] = 35, [1d100] = 30

Damage to Chet [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4, [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5

Yenny is splashed with the monk's warm blood. Chet's eyes open wide in surprise...then freeze as life leaves his body. :cry: :cry: He is beyond hope.

Yenny attempts to bowl over Chet's slayer, but it deflects her attack. Hyde, too late to realize Chet's predicament, levels his sword at the offending party and begins to walk towards it.

The other creature, cornered by Angus, realizes its only hope is to fight its way out of its predicament. It seems to steel its resolve. Two mighty lashes with claws cut two deep lacerations in Angus' body!

Creature attacks Angus [1d20] = 16, [1d20] = 13 crits [1d100] = 53, [1d100] = 48

Damage to Angus [1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6, [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7

-13 hp!

Dandelion joins the fray, but it is able to dodge both trident and Ledillir! Galan looks for an opening, but the creature's back to the wall precludes a rear attack. The robed gnome timidly stabs, but finds no satisfaction.

Figgis, the brave newcomer, joins the fray. He sees no possible attack on the cornered creature, so he slashes at the back of the one facing Yenny. He wounds his target with short sword!

Both enemies are now critically wounded, but at the price of one of the party's own.

Yenny swings violently with her flail, her eyes blazing with anger--a rare thing for her.

Initiative [1d6] = 6, flail [1d20] = 16, damage [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4, crit [1d100] = 90
