Initiative: Crom 0, Dalien 5, Hydra 8, Goran 5+4(wading/deep)=9, Elthar 3+6=9, Shay 9+4=13, Matrox 9+4=13
Crom readies himself to throw his hammer at the beast if a chance presents itself.
Dalien casts Improved Invisibility and moves to the edge of the pool.
A deafening roar sounds from the stairs as the creature hauls itself up from underground. Eight deep red tanned heads rear up from a gargantuan body as it pulls itself free of its lair. The heads roar in unison and dart this way and that, sniffing the air, gills flaring, black smoke trailing behind its gaping maws. The heads focus on Goran as he splashes noisily through the mire, and the beast leaps into the mulch and heads straight for him!
Goran hurries through the mire in an attempt to get onto solid ground before the beast shows itself. Ideally he would be standing to one side with his weapon ready when the creature popped its heads out, but the swamp is proving to thick and too deep for him to make it in time - the beast is already upon him!
Crom stays his hammer as Goran and Shay are too close to the creature for him to throw it.
Elthar casts Protection from Fire on Crom.
Shay hurries onto firmer ground, hardly visible under his cloak, the soft moss, ivy and weed of the ruins allowing his soft boots to make almost no sound. He moves quietly around the staircase and readies his bow.
Matrox backs up along the shore and finds himself out of range of both Ice Storm and Ray of Enfeeblement.
{I just lost the map I'd drawn this round due to unfamiliarity with Photoshop Elements, so I'll describe where you are. Elthar, Dalien, Crom and Matrox are on the shore of a rocky pool, some 130 yards away across the mire from the Hydra. Shay is 40 yards from the Hydra, on its flank, next to invisible under his cloak. Goran is thrashing in the mulch and the Hydra is heading straight for him, the Dwarf is only 40 yards from where the beast has emerged from the ruins.}

) Goran moves as far a he can then sets himself into a defensive position before the hydra reaches him.
