The radiant light singes the golem, and Bontar follows the bright spot in his vision, planting a powerful slam of his maul into its center of mass and knocking out a large chunk of its salt. The salt is finally cleared out of his eyes by tears of rage streaming down his face. A skeletal, spectral hand flies past the golem.
Ptekme manages to untangle himself from the fabric and runs over, leaving the collapsed tent behind. The salt finally clears out of his eyes, and he can see again. Hand is blindly stumbling towards the same light as Bontar, but his claw swipes only at air. Torso finally seems to regain his sight, but is pointed the wrong way to do anything.
As the golem glides away towards the illusion Zantos conjured, Bontar takes a swing that lands wide. Lazaar can feel the impact shake the ground as the golem slams through his fake decoy, right outside of his illusory hiding place. If he could sweat through his scales, he would surely be drenched, and not just from the hot sun...
Jiro and Qaba line up shots at the wildly howling marauder. Jiro's arrow flies wide, but Qaba's impacts him right in the side. As Zantos runs off to distract the golem, the cleric nods to him and runs south to his comrades fighting at the southwest flank, calling out a prayer to inspire them. The sniper hops off of the table and takes aim with her bow as she strafes through the ashen area. She releases her shot, her arrow landing next to Qaba's. A third, from the archer on the tavern roof, drops the marauder at last.
From the sounds beyond the corner of the building, the raiders are starting to fall on that front. But Zantos is soon surprised to hear someone panting and shoving over a table behind him. The berserker is back on his feet, staggering towards Zantos. His wild swing comes close, but Zantos manages to sidestep the tired attacker.
On the roof, another raider has gotten up to his knees and flings a dagger of ice at Qaba. It stabs into him. As it begins to glow and pulse, the elf instinctively grabs it to throw it away. It explodes in his hand however, and he collapses onto the rooftop.
As the dreamer seems to realize Ptekme is not one of the attackers, he scuttles south to try and help. A swarm of stinging insects and a gob of acid assail the bard, but he fends them both off confidently. "Continue the fight," he orders the raiders, "I will get reinforcements." He says it with such confidence they seem to believe him, as he slinks away into an alleyway with his cleric.
The archer continues to back away, sending an arrow to graze the berserker as he turns to find new targets. Her decision proves wise as the berserker advances and knocks out the wilder with two swift swings.
