Tiberious swings with his handaxes hoping his magical and monk bonuses will kill the thing.

Tiberious attacks with White Dragon Furry, one magical axe bounces off but the other sinks in with a loud thud and penetrates threw the trolls skull to the creatures eye doing 10 pts damage.
I'll assume Subdolus attacks with his 2 magical blades (as he's engaged in battle). This time both weapons slice threw the creature for a total of 14 pts damage!
Zargon and Ermaniric likewise attack the Onocentuar (with not much of an option); with a massive swing (role 20 to hit) Ermaneric thrusts his sword into the beasts stomach for 14 pts damage, while Zargons weapon bounces off the beasts hide. Sogathan starts to feel the effects of the Hold Person spell wearing off as some movement starts to come back to his fingers, he thinks another minute or 2 and he'll be free of the spell.
What action does Cal wish to take? You sword arm is free, and you could attempt to cut the green tentacle holding you and squeezing, or you could attack the center portion of the beast near its red glowing eyes (or another tentacle, you do see 3 others besides the one on you).
After Cal goes I'll role initiative.

Ermanaric will continue his relentless attacks, thinking that it would be good to finish this thing off so as to be able to better aid Cal.

Cal, your sharp sword bounces off the things thick blubbery skin (you roll a 2). Initiative: Monster 5, group 3, monsters go first: The Troll attacks Subdolus this time, but the patheticn beast misses with all but a bite, ripping into your arm for 3 pts damage. The Pit Monster continues to squeeze with the tentacle around Sog for another 2 pts damage. It then sends 2 more tentacles toward you (holding 2 more tentacles in reserve, using them like fat legs holding its body out of the water). One misses but the other manages to wrap around your waist and legs for 4 more points of damage. You can still use your sword arm but are pulled slowly toward the beasts main body. Again its evil glowing red eyes attempt to hypnotize, but you again shake it off (with a 13). Your now only a foot from its huge gapping maw with a black tounge and no teeth just hard platelets pointing backward into its gullet. The mouth opens wide in a huge "o" attempting to swallow you but it misses as you just manage to block it with a leg, pushing your foot hard onto the side of its mouth you buy yourself some time...if you could only get free of these tentacles you think. The Onocentuar focuses in on the 2 remaining fighters. It turns in a circle madly blood spewing everyware (despite partly healing itself its still horribly injured) and kicks out at Ermanaric in desperation (rolling a 4) the deadly blow just misses the fighter. It then reaches down eagerly (its 2 sweaty faces with expressions of dumb concentration) with powerful hairy hands for Zargon attempting to grab and hold him! Both hands suceed (15,17) lifting the struggling fighter high into the air, it crushes and tears at Zargon for a total of 15 pts damage before tossing you toward the pit trap (as it had Cal a few rounds earlier); with a 14 you hit the floor trap hard (taking another 2 pts damage, and then (failing to save with a 3) fall 20 feet landing in 3 feet of cold water upside down ontop of a thick blubbery body (which actually breaks the fall and you only take 4 more pts of damage (and inflict 4 pts on the monster as well). Counter attack: Only Ermanaric is left on the Onocentuar (his other 2 friends already captured and thrown into the pit trap with the swinging lid). The junior fighter swings with his massive blade cutting a huge gash threw the torso of the beast for 17 pts damage (the thing still stands though guts begin to pretrude). This round Sogathan is able to move a little more but he's still held (perhaps in another minute you think...its been hell watching your friends being beaten without being able to heal or help). I'll assume Tiberious and Subdolus continue their onslaught. The monk hits with a hand axe for 9 and the thief moves in for the kill swinging violently at the creatures neck with his scimitar and removing its head (doing 11 pts damage). The head chatters as it rolls its eyes looking around for its body...its arms trying to help pull its body toward its head feet away. Zargon quickly rights himself and takes the situation in (unfortunately you dropped your sword someplace when you hit the trap door and fell threw) however, your other weapons are still on you for the most part. What do you wish to attack with, and do you wish to go for a tentacle or the main body. Cal I'll assume you swing at the tentacle arms crushing you. Again your blade bounces off (rolling a 3). Zargon, let me know what you want to do and I'll then role for init. In summary: Tiberious is down 8 pts Subdolus is down 5 pts Calhagan is down 31 pts Zargon is down 57 pts Ermanaric is down 22 pts Sogathan (held) but isn't harmed so far. The Troll has been killed (but is still moving around on the floor). The Onocentuar is badly hurt but still standing, and the pit creature not yet hurt save a crushing blow from Zargons body.

Unless my calculations are off, Zargon was KO'd when the onocentaur threw him onto the pit trap, so he may or may not be dead already (currently -6). It was a good run, for a lucky idiot.

Whoops! Thats right your at -6. In my game however, you have to go to -10 before your dead (and I don't use any going past -4 in a single blow rules) so your alive at the moment, just unconscious, and because the damage that was inflicted was smashing and crushing your stable. Also by chance your head is above water, your body floating on debree and ice (save 15, needed a 12).
Initiative: Monsters 2, group 5 (you go first).
Sogathan breaks free of the hold spell this round and can cast a spell, attack or whatever else he likes.
Ermaneric swings but the beasts hide is too thick and it bounces off (rolling a 5)!
Calhagan swings again at one of the tentacles holding him finally hitting with a 14 and doing 11 pts damage cutting it in two. A second attack (using your level ability) is directed at the second tentacle holding and pulling you under. Another hit with a 19, and you cut this tentacle off doing 10 pts of damage to it. You move over toward Zargon and find he's still alive but badly injured, placing your body between him and the beast draws the creature off the easy morsal for the moment.
What actions do the 2 scouts wish to take (the Troll will be out of commission for a while as it reforms) so if your so inclined you could open the secret door and help the fighters.
Also what does Sog wish to do, you might cast something.

Tiberious will toss one of his potions of healing to Cal in hopes he can save the Incredible Z, he will then (next combat round) throw both handaxes at the onocentaur.

OOC: to keep the game moving I'll go ahead and act for Subdolus and Sog.
Sog lights a flask of oil and prepares to toss it.
Subdolus, grinning after removing the head of the troll with his blade opens the trap door and then wedges a dagger in its pivot locking it in place. After quickly securing a rope to part of the corner of the pivoting stone he drops in behind Calhagan and next to Zargon landing in 3 feet of icey water filled with debree. Tiberious tosses the potion of healing to the agile thief, who quickly removes the stopper and poors its contents down the mouth of the nearly dead Z.
Tiberious then spins around and throws his 2 axes of returning at the onocentuar: One is deflected but the other sinks deeply into the creatures side for 8 pts damage before ripping itself out and returning to the monk.
Initiative: Monster 2 group 3 (you win).
Zargon is healed for 7 points and returns to conscousness at 1 HP, his sword lost for the moment.
Subdolus swings his scimitar and magical dagger at a tentacle heading for Zargon, the scimitar bounces off but the dagger digs in deep for 4, Zargon unable to fight just yet moves away from the approaching tentacle best he can.
Calhagan, finally with the upper hand cuts another tentacle from the beast (doing 12 pts damage). The beast still continues its attack!
Tiberious throws his 2 axes again, this time both fail to stick into the thick hide of the Onocentuar!
Ermanaric, alone now with the half Giant 2 headed cyclopian monstrousity, thrusts his sword just as the beast reaches down to grab him (a 20!)..........tremendous earth shaking screams are emmitted by the beasts 2 heads causing rocks from the ceiling to fall as the beast struggles in its death throws, dancing around a bit before finally falling over dead, Ermaneric's sword still sticking out of the creatures chest. Erm recovers his weapon and starts heading over to help his friends trapped in the pit.
Seeing that Ermaneric has finally slane the powerful giant, Sogathan runs over toward the troll which is still moving around attempting to reattach its head, and tosses his flask of burning oil at it (rolling an 14) finally killing the creature once and for all (inflicting 14 pts of damage total).
Monster counter attack. The beasts red pulsating eye once again attempts to hypnotise the combatants, Subdolus suddenly lowers his weapons and stares blankly (rolling a 3), Zargon likewise becomes mesmorized, but once again Calhagan shakes it off (with a 15). The beast uses its remaining tentacles to grab Zargon and Subdolus (rolling a 11, and 12) easily grabbing both and crushing for 2 pts to Zargon and 7 to Subdolus. The creature then thrusts forward with its mouth and attempts to swallow Calhagan, but misses by a foot.
Initiative: Monster 4 group 6. Zargon is now at -1 and Subdolus is at 6 HP, both held fast (Subdolus snaps out of it, but finds his body completely wrapped).
Calhagan swings with fury cutting off the tentacle on Zargon and then shoving his blade into the creatures eye up to the hilt, killing it!
All of the monsters have been killed and Zargon is carried to the surface by Calhagan, while Tiberious cuts Subdolus free and helps him up. Sogathan quickly casts 2 heals spells bringing Zargon back up to 3 pts.
By my reconning: Subdolus is at 6 Tiberious is at 18 Calhagan is at 23 Zargon is at 3 Ermanaric is at 24 And Sogathan is undamaged at 27 ..............................................................
Moving to new thread, "Hall of the Onocentuar"
