((I imagine that Tarkus's version of an "escape artist" attempt is actually to just pull the ropes apart, which would be more of a Strength check; to that end, I added his Strength modifier to that roll instead, which gives him a 21 and is enough to break the ropes.
You guys just barely beat them on Initiative. Longsword Shifter attacks Jack: 35 vs AC. Jack takes 13 damage.
All four other Shifters attack Bones/Elroy. One of the bowmen misses; the rest hit for a total of 45 damage after damage reduction.
Bones 5-steps back and does a Full Attack on the one with the Greataxe. One miss, one regular hit, one critical hit for a total of 52 damage.
Muun can actually make it 30 feet if he takes a double move, so I'll assume he does that. The shifters did not notice him.
Quintus, you can let your Dimension Door go off at the end of the bad guys' turn; none of them approached you, so I don't want to make you lose your action outright.))
"Hey Kaff," Bones says in a remarkable display of the acuteness of his elven memory, "Do you have any gorillas on you? Like in a Bag of Holding or something? I wouldn't mind engaging in some of that gorilla warfare you were just talking about..."
As Jack clumsily tries to wallop one of the passing shifters, his target nimbly dodges, then shifts its attention to the android. "Metal man think he quicker than shifters of woods? Pay you lesson!" The shifter strikes a savage blow on Jack with his own longsword, hard enough to pierce his metal skin.
The other shifters merely snarl at the party, the one with Tarkus's axe meeting the half-orc's gaze with a fiercely primal expression of his own. They prowl forward and strike at Bones, doing significant damage that the leafy armor has a hard time alleviating, not having regenerated from the previous battle.
Bones, injured but not out of it by a long shot, steps back and launches a flurry of arrows at his axe-equipped attacker, doing a great deal of damage but not quite bringing him down yet.
Finally, Val is able to slip free of his bindings at about the same time that Tarkus succeeds in simply ripping his apart, and Quintus simply teleports a few feet away, also free of the ropes. Now it's just a matter of retrieving their missing weapons...
