Minimum damage was enough to finish him.

She behaves aggressively at the final dwarf in the central fight.

The guards that are wrestling copper try to push her down. The first two she manages to fight off, but the second duo manages to push her down.

With four dwarves on top of her she's taking disadvantage to grappling checks at this point and can't rise up before breaking the grapple.
Zhentarim last turn you couldn't both try to free yourself and cast the spell.

The golem is really strong!
Hey, guys, could we get some help here. This one is really putting up a fight.
What is this thing even?
Those blasted tabaxi and their haywire machines. Why does it have armor on? No dwarf would've made something this silly.
Dwarven machines don't work here, that's the trouble. Think of if we had thunderpipes... Wouldn't be none of this mess.

The five rocksolids that were previously going after the 'contact' are now walking back to assist the guards. They're carrying manacles.
Hold it a moment longer! We're coming

In the middle of the crowd the dwarf notices he's all alone in the middle of the protester crowd. There's so many people around that he couldn't really get away if he tried. One of the stormrats that's nearby conks him over the head with a mace. The dwarf goes down in front of K'tak.
The stormrat smiles at K'tak. He's head looks weird since he's shaved it, one of the newer styles in the lower classes. It's supposed to show sympathy towards humans and the rat-cities in the north that have joined the Kingdom of Sacrament.
Gnarly.
the rat says before turning the other way to look for a new opponent.

At the center of the rioting masses a chant is developing
Push through! Push through!
Indeed the umami are pushing towards the opera house's door. Hep, Andvari and K'tak are at the very center where the number of friendly faces is largest.

Some of the guards are banging the door of the opera house as the crowd approaches.

On either side of the center the rocksolids are having more success and pushing the sides of the crowd in.
You are noticing that while the fight is quite violent, there's places at the park where dwarves are giving first aid to ratfolk and vice versa. For all the breaking of heads this is still more of a streetfight than war. Not that people haven't died. There's certainly a number of dead on the ground.

Near the pond, Orion is retreating while keeping watch at what's happening with his friends. He's starting to be near the other end of the scuffle. He hears a coarse cry
Bite that!
Before a brick flies through the air and hits him in the head for 5 bludgeoning damage.
There's dwarves and ratfolk fighting about 25 feet to the northwest from his current position. One of the dwarves behind the main line of battle is leering at Orion. while picking up another brick.

Caelin is starting to be in an area that's far enough that all the fighting isn't directly affecting anyone. A number of other people are trying to get away from the park at a fast pace but plenty of others are just doing their daily business.

Orion is near the pond, somewhat to the west of the center of the center of the map. There's a relatively sparse crowd around him and it's easy to move.

Copper is at the eastern edge of the crowd, now surrounded by four guards and five rocksolids, about to get cuffed.

Caelin is running toward the second corner, about to turn back west at the next corner to get behind the alley.

The other 3 are very near the middle of the map and the middle of the crowd that's pushing toward the doors of the opera house.
