Round 3

 * Vik pockets a healing potion &amp; chills out (heal 9 nonlethal)
 * Hadrian tells us we’re facing the Children of Winter next. Vik has stone of farspeech; Sarienne asks him to bet 300 g on her but he can’t find the gnome.
 * Sarienne, Vanesse, and Vesun are up first. Vik has Vanesse’s axe to throw her.
 * F half-elf (fighter? w/silver hair), F human (HF) (white figurine, short redhead), M tall dude with tufts of brown fur.
 * Half-elf punches Vesun, Sarienne tells V to watch out for hawk, Vesun runs at human, Vanesse tries to throw her pocket sand at the big dude and grapples him. S sneak-grabs the big dude with the gloves of shocking grasp and zaps him REAL HARD in the kidneys, half-elf flanks Sarienne and summons something in the grass that only Tork notices. (Tork has poisoned his rocks.)
 * Vanesse prevents the guy from getting out. Vesun casts Bull’s Strength on Vanesse. Tork casts sleep behind the summoner (doesn’t hit her) and throws a rock up in the air. S shocks the guy again. Lady who Tork cast on is pissed and runs at him. Vanesse punches the guy in the face.
 * Big guy shifts to bear and rakes S - 13 dmg. Vesun casts invisibility on S. S uses a potion. Silver-hair F tries to punch Vesun and hits his armor. Bear bites at Vesun, Vanesse tries to jump on him and fails; bear bites Vesun and gets armor. Tork throws the poisoned rocks at the human with mage hand. S shocks the bear invisibly from the back. Vesun gets punched again, gets raked by bear for 12. Redhead chucks some rocks at Tork and gets him down to 1HP. Vanesse punches again, bear turns toward her. Vesun drinks a potion, so does Tork.
 * Sarienne zaps the bear in the spine. HF tries to tap out. Vanesse moves to the bear’s front. It attacks Sarienne, she gets horribly mauled and is knocked out. Vik jumps in and shoots the bear. (INITIATIVE TOP OF THE ROUND)
 * Hobgoblin with scythe, unarmed human M tag in, 2 ladies tag out. Bear swipes Vanesse, she punches back, Vesun tags out and heals S. Vikrit tosses the axe down, moves closer and shoots the fuck out of the human guy who just stepped in, and he drops. Tork mage hands the axe closer to Vanesse. She knocks the bear out. Vesun runs out to the edge. Half-elf F tags in (who was casting at Tork). Vik runs closer and shoots her once.
 * Tork says “HEY ROCK GIRL” and drops the rock, gives her a thumbs up, and missiles her. She runs out. Hobgoblin with scythe attacks Vanesse. She gets her weapon but he slices her thigh. She drinks a potion. Half-elf druid also in.
 * Now: half-elf druid (Leader?), hobgoblin w/scythe, shorter human redhead fighter.
 * Tork magic missiles the druid. Hobgoblin drops scythe and shoots flame at Vanesse. Vanesse charges the Hobgoblin and accidentally tosses her axe. HEM Druid narrows eyes at Tork and starts doing a ritual with marbles. HF steps out of the ring. Vik shoots the druid but doesn’t interrupt his spell. Tork magic missiles the druid, jumps out. Vesun drags S out of the ring.
 * Druid blasts Vik with lightning (12 dmg). Vanesse shanks the fuck out of the hobgoblin. V misses shooting at druid. Hobgoblin makes area with Vanesse mud. Druid turns into a gigantic praying mantis. Vik tries to shoot it (with 2 AP) to no avail, and it tries to use a wind blast on him (but he makes fort save). Hobgoblin casts a misty cloud around him and mantis. Hadrian pours a potion into Sarienne’s mouth, she is conscious again. V fires into the fog, no idea if hits.
 * Tork freezes the ground near where they were. Vanesse charges where they were, sees the hobgoblin on the ground and charges into him (and his friends trying to heal him), drops rage. Sarienne shoots the bear they rezzed, it drops back into the mud. V shoots toward the mantis. Woman tells mantis to give up. Vanesse feels bad, says “I hope you make it!” and goes back in. Vik shoots the mantis again, he gives up.
 * WE WON!!! The crowd kind of dispersed when the fog was cast.
