Hero, Garor and Callian - {Since Wiz has yet to reply, I'll assume this.} Callian, keeping the sake of propiety, greets Master Magmire and requests permission to enter. The Dwarf agrees, willing to accept anything that will change the conversation from where it was going.
Callian bows low and enters, moving to near both of your ears. He speaks in hushed tones, quickly imparting the knowledge Caelith sent him here for. {That Maura and Traylara are friends, Maura lent her the silver knife etc}
Master Magmire watches the hushed conversation, his hands folded neatly behind his back.
"What is it ye are saying back there?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newt, Angelus and Caelith - You are made to wait but a moment longer before Camir, young captain of the city watch enters, followed the patron you sent. It is puzzling how long it took to retrieve such a man, but the patron calmly takes his place and watches the scene.
Camir bows low, addressing you formally.
"You summoned me ambassadors?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Krysta, Girud and Galdren - {Map is after this post, using new battlemat. Girud, the Mudmaw is a large creature, about 12 feet in length. Bordering on huge.}
Galdren, weapons drawn, moves to strike the crocodile with his blade. [Attack Roll = 18] The blade bounces harmlessly off of the creatures thick, leathery hide.
Mordrock remains behind the elves, managing to stem the flow of his tears and stop whimpering. Perhaps he will soon draw a weapon and charge out...afterall, he must remain brave for Krysta.
The Mudmaw lashes out at Galdren, the first meal to walk its way. [Attack Rolls = 15, 22] The first tentacle misses, the other slaps him soundly across the stomach. [Damage Roll = 12] It leaves a sticky slime across his armor.
But the creature isn't done yet...
It twists its body with amazing speed, bringing the broad thick tail around for a third attack. [Attack Roll = 28, Crit Confirm, success] Like being struck with a log tossed by a giant, Galdren is hit square in the chest by a tail. [Damage roll = 17, pushback] He is flung nearly ten feet from the creature as it howls for more.
[Galdren Combat sum = 29 damage, now ten feet from MudMaw.]
Krysta acts next... [Unfortnately your conditions haven't been met on any level, so move in? If wrong, let me know.] Rushing to help Galdren and give the beast another target, Krysta attacks. [Attack Roll = 24, damage roll = 15] The creature roars like a dinosaur, setting its eyes on its next target.
MudMaw is slightly wounded. (15)
Irinys drops his hand and shouts a command to fire. A hail of arrows rains from the shore at the back of the beast. [Attack Rolls = 12, 15, 19, 20, 12, 18, 21, 10, 8, 5] Only one arrow out of the barrage manages to stick through the MudMaw's skin. [Damage Roll = 4] {Don't worry Galdren or Krysta, the beast is large enough to not warrant hitting you with misses. }
MudMaw is wounded. (19)
Girud pulls the drawstring to his bow, leveling the tip and loosing the shaft. [Attack Roll = 19] The arrow sails over the beast into the river beyond.
The battle continues...
{Initiative: Galdren, Mordrock, The MudMaw, Krysta and The Elves, Girud.}

Sehanine, Yuri and Romar - Marg studies the words closely, listening to every detail. He also pays close attention to Yuri. [Bluff Check vs. Sense Motive] Marg appears to buy the lie, glancing over your way into the mountain hall.
"Surely ye cannot mean the same crystal as yonder?"
"We pulled that out of the mountain itself. We figured there be more of it down there, so we keep digging. Ye say Ravenshead has one? Is it powered like ours?"
Marg is suddenly reminded of his dying king by a coughing fit from the wounded Dwarf.
"Ye be right...this is no time for squabbles. Ensure ye benefit from the crystal and head through the door."
"Remember...the stores are to the right, forward past two intersections and to the left. The antidote be in a small vial, purple and smells faintly of honey."
Marg will escort you to the barricades when you're ready..
