Retreat into the previous room & surround them as they come through the door!

Do we have time to move back to the previous room?
If so, we do.
If not, Rhod wants to put a wall behind him and again receive the charge of a lizard, stepping forward as it arrives, and swinging at it's bitey face.

I'd say you have time to beat a hasty retreat

"Retreat and surround" seems like a good plan to Franklin.

Same here, Biff will respond to the "Retreat and surround" tactic as well.
OOC: So, who's the 'mapper' on this crew?

OK, give me a quick setup (you can sketch it in words, is fine)

"Fall back! Split to each side! Spearmen 2nd rank! Lights behind!" shouts Wiglaff.
I'm hoping we end up with something along these lines:
- Code:
# # | R = Rhod i = Ivar a = Aiden
####+#### | G = Grampus s = Sigmud e = Edgar
..iR.Gs.. | A = Aldbane o = Ori p = Phillippe
..oA.Bw.. | B = Biff w = Wodan
..dFWMn.. | F = Franklin d = Dori + = door
...aep... | W = Wiglaff n = Nori # = wall
......... | M = Maloof . = floor
Let the lizards come through the door & into the middle. Front rank is heavies, and 2nd rank is spears.

Looks good to Franklin! Stab, stab stab.
OOC: @acodispo looks like you play "roguelike" games, am I wrong??

The players retreat, and not a moment too soon, as the two remaining lizards move more swiftly than one might expect, and Rhod and Grampus are attacked before the party is quite ready, one lizard sinking its razor sharp teeth into Rhod's left thigh.
Rhod and Aldbame, with Ivar stabbing from the second rank, attack the offending lizard, but cannot penetrate its scaly hide. Grampus and Biff close in on the other lizard, with Sigmund and Wodan stabbing from behind., and mighty strikes from their combined weapons take the lizard down.
