    R2T5: Worried about the others, Gabriella will begin tying the horses to the copse of trees to her left, taking as long as it takes to make them secure but as quickly as possible As a full-round action, she ties off her own horse. There are four other horses and one pony remaining.

    R2T1: A5 steps past Meijen and Aldo to now flank Aldo, and he hacks at the halfling with his broken sword into Aldo's left shoulder for 7.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T25:
    Erasmus recovers from his charge. He steps back and calls on "Veldira" to heal him as he casts a spell, touches himself, and receives 10 healing.

    R3T20: A3 attacks Folco with his sword. Folco tries to parry, but the sword moves in faster, and yet Folco's body is even faster than that. Folco is able to duck the attack, but it was tiring enough that he didn't get to riposte.
    Spoiler: Folco
    Show
    I had to look at the writing a little closer (after assuming a riposte that struck). Actually, even though the attack itself failed, so did the parry, because the parry roll was lower than the attacker's roll. A riposte is only scored if the parry is successful, not if the attack is unsuccessful.

    R3T19: There is a bright burst of light from within the carriage. Because the severely limited windows are small, the light doesn't reach or affect any of the combatants. "If someone can hear me? Go around to the back of the wagon and break the lock if you can!"

    R3T18: Meijen answers the voice. "Arael, if he you be! It will take to long. I will break down the leader instead." He looks to Aldo. "Aldo, it will take too long and it is too dangerous to foolishly think we are better than them. Attack with your full fury, and we shall heal the fallen, or ask for penance if they are beyond us."

    He then flanks A5 with Aldo, slashing at the man's back with his large sword for 5. That man now has a look of fear mixed with his pain.

    R3T17: A1 on the ballista targets Erasmus, as he makes the easiest target. He shoots, and the massive bolt thuds into the ground, having torn through Erasmus' left foot for 10 in the process, removing all of the healing Erasmus had just put on himself!

    R3T14: Tia, what do you do?

    R3T14: Tia drops her dagger, and then dashes out from behind her cover, having gotten her breath. "This is on your head if it goes wrong!!!" She shouts at Meijin, her hand trailing behind her to allow her Scythe to form, as she circles around into a flanking position with a dramatic swing of her scythe, cutting through the man's chest for 13 NE + 4 cold.

    R3T13: A6 shoots at Erasmus, but his aim is really bad. Clearly, the sight of all this blood is something he is not used to, and and A6 is sickened. He does reload, though.

    R3T12: Folco, what do you do?

    R3T12: Folco pushes the attack, determined to make a better showing than his embarrassing entrance! He stabs his rapier into the armiger's vulnerable left foot for 7. The armiger gives a long, high-pitched, wheezing groan through clenched teeth.

    R3T11: Aldo did his best not to screech in pain. Fine. He didn't want to hurt anyone, but the time had come. He lashed out at the one who hit him, ready to take anyone who came near. His first attack was a sacrifice to force A5 to deflect it. Aldo couldn't lunge to the larger man's meaty bits, but his deflecting sword was right there ... including the hand holding it. Aldo stabs right into the palm, the meaty, almost steak-like muscle mass, pushing through so as to break several of the metacarpals and coming out the back of his hand for 11. The armiger drops his broken sword and holds his hand, before falling unconscious from shock.

    R3T10-9: A2 drops his crossbow, and A4 drops her sword, both in panic. A2 runs west. A4 withdraws away from an enraged Shanwen, is not cut down by Tia or Aldo, and hustles westwards.

    R3T6: Signifier Shanwen sees two of his recruits running away. He sidesteps away from Aldo to face Tia and swings at her with his heavy mace with two hands, but Tia easily deflects it.

    R3T5: Gabriella, it takes a full-round action to secure one horse to a tree. What do you do?

    R3T5: With the tide changing rapidly back and forth, Gabriella is unsure what to do. She hesitates to see how the fight will turn out.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T25:
    Erasmus steps over to pick up his bolas, spins them, and hurls them at A6. They slap against the man's chainmail, but otherwise fall to the ground.

    R4T20: A3 attacks Folco with power behind his swing. Folco easily deflects the overcommitted blade and ripostes into the man's left elbow for 7. The man drops his longsword and takes off to the west, Folco (and Erasmus) letting him go.

    R4T19: Another burst of light within the wagon. "How goes it? Report!" comes a shout from within.

    R4T18: Meijen calls an answer, "Only a few recruits still stand, and I am on the leader now!" He rushes around Aldo to cut Shanwen in the right lower leg for 12. Shanwen doesn't scream so much as have the air knocked out of him in pain before biting his lip.

    R4T17: A1 reloads the ballista.

    R4T14: Tia, what do you do?

    A6 on deck, Folco in the hole, Gabby delaying (and may go at any time) ...

    R4T11: Rather than try and get up the carriage, Aldo decided to throw his mind blade at the ballista operator. The vertical cover is enough to protect the man, however, and the soulknfe deflects off of his armor before disappearing.

    R4T10-9: A2 & A4 now take off in a full run.

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

    R5T25:
    Erasmus steps up to A6, which incidentally puts him out of targeting of the "gunner." He attacks with his starknife, but misses.

    R5T20: A3 now opens into a full run.

    R5T19: Yet another burst of light from within the carriage.

    R5T18: Meijen kneels down and puts a hand on the fallen leader, holy power going into him for 5 healing. This is enough to be sure he is stable, but not enough to wake him. a quick search reveals a set of keys. "I believe I have the keys. "Tia, take these to the back of the wagon to free Arael!" He then calls out very loudly, "Gabriella, if you can hear me! Get ready for us to get back to you. We are almost done."

    R5T17: A1 targets Tia, clipping her head with the ballista, the fell bolt doing 7 damage. A1 then grabs another ballista bolt from the side of the wagon.

    R5T16: Gabriella, you hear shouts and calls of battle but you don't hear either your name or Meijen's cue to you. Just more battle chatter. What do you do?

    Sorry, it takes a MA to get to Meijen, and a MA to "pick up an object." True that it is an attended object, but it being handed to you keeps it as effectively unattended to remain a MA vice a SA, not that it matters this round, but if it comes up again. Tia understands the limitations of speed, so likely grabbed the keys from Meijen like a relay racer, so not in getting to him, but just past him.

    R5T13: A6, still feeling a little woozy from looking at all that blood, drops his crossbow on the bench next to him, pulls his longsword, and swings at Erasmus with as much power as he can muster, but his height is perhaps a little too much, and Folco and the armiger learns that Erasmus is surprisingly spry as he ducks the attack.

    R5T12: Folco, this armiger seems to be distracted by something, but he does have the advantage of high ground. What do you do?

    R5T12: Folco continues his assault on the armiger, if only to keep him from taking more shots or getting the horses moving again. His rapier finds a point on the chainmail to hit the "graze" the man's arm for 6.

    R5T11: Aldo groaned. Fine. He'd really been hoping to avoid climbing this thing, but if he can't deal with this guy from a distance, he'd have to get up there himself. Of course, since the beginning of the climb is the 2' free board before the bottom of the wagon, the weak-armed halfling (after releasing his remaining soulknife) finds that he can't heft the bottom two-thirds of his body up to really even get to a position where he can use his arms.

    R5T10-9: A2 & A4 are far enough away in a full run to be considered to be fully off-map and out of battle.

    End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

    R6T25:
    Erasmus steps back from the armiger, calls for aid from Vendira and when he casts a spell, it is not his voice but a woman's that you hear. He touches himself for 4 healing.

    R6T20: A3 is removed from battle after a run.

    R6T18: Meijen moves over to A5's fallen form. Not sure if he is alive or dead, Meijen puts a hand on the man and prays to Shelyn, giving him 5 healing. The man is awake now, and Meijen says, "Your friends flee, your leader is vanquished. Get up in safety, and run Citadel Rivad. Or rethink your life and choose another path."

    R6T17: A1 takes another large bolt from the side of the wagon and loads it.

    R6T16: Gabriella, what do you do?

    R6T12: Folco hops up onto the headboard, slashing at his distracted foe, the cut stopped by the chainmail .... probably because rapiers aren't good at slashing. "Face me, coward!" Folco shouts, frustrated at the lack of any fight out of the armiger.

    R6T11: Aldo redoubled his efforts to get up the carriage, hoping to get into striking distance. The toughest part is hauling himself high enough so that his legs find purchase. Once that happens, he finally makes his way up and onto the carriage. However, it was enough of an effort that he is unable to summon a mindblade yet.

    R6T1: A5 stands, shakily. He sees the signifier lying on the ground. "Is he...?"

    "He's alive," Meijen answers.

    "I will stay behind to see to him, but I won't use a potion on him until you're gone."

    Meijen nods. A5 does walk over to Shanwen, though, leaving his own sword behind.

    End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

    R7T25:
    Erasmus moves to the wagon to pick up his bolas.

    R7T18: Meijen moves to the wagon and threatens the armiger with his sword.

    R7T17: A1 looks at the halfling in front of him, turns the turret downwards some, and shoots at Aldo with the massive ballista at point blank range. It seems that Asmodeus truly blesses this armiger, as this is about the third crit he has scored. The ballista bolt all but staples Aldo to the deck for 16, and Aldo gives a sharp cry before falling down on the wagontop.

    R7T16: Gabriella, you are a distance away and it does look like your friends have the battle in hand, but there might be a casualty as you have a better vantage than anyone else that Aldo was just dropped atop the wagon from a ballista bolt at zero range.

    It is a FRA to open this lock. It is not designed to be a quick open. In fact, specifically designed not to be so. Also, correction .... there are three keys on this keychain.

    R7T13.5: A man you assume is Arael comes out of the wagon and hops down next to Tia. He is a handsome half-elf with a severe expression. Even though he was manacled, his hands hold a holy symbol of Iomedae. "Thank you," he smiles as he takes the keys from Tia. "The hood is a nice touch. Armband, too. I will deal with me and unlock my belongings from the front. Continue to secure the scene and make things safe for your friends."
    R713: A6 attacks the man against whom he has a height advantage (Meijen) with a power strike, but Meijen blocks the sword. He also no longer seems to be sickened from the sight of blood, as the two men fighting him is increasing his adrenaline.

    R7T12: Folco, from your position on the bench, you saw Aldo drop. If you attack A1 instead of A6, he has cover (which is why you didn't get an AOO when he shot Aldo). What do you do?

    R7T12: Folco hops up onto the roof of the wagon with renewed urgency. "That'll be quite enough out of you!" he shouts as he lunges for the ballista operator. It is not a great attack, but as his blade glides along the chain links, it is enough to get A1's attention.

    End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

    R8T25:
    Erasmus leaves Meijen to handle the forward armiger and he moves quickly to the back. "I thought so," says Erasmus, seeing Tia and seeming worried for her. His eyes glow, and he speaks a in a voice that seems to old for himself, casting inflict light wounds and touching Tia to give her 4 mod healing.

    R8T18: Meijen steps to the side so that A6 has to deal with horse flank and not a clean cut. The elf casts a spell on the man's sword. A6 has a little trouble holding it, as if it were slicked by something, but two solid hands on it keeps his hold true.

    R8T17: A1 grabs his sword and slashes at Folco with a power strike, which ..... as his habit of rolling a '20' continues ... he crits Folco in the chest for 12!

    Gabby delays ...

    R8T14: Now that Arael has been set free, Tia sets her sights on ending the fight. "Thanks for that. I was hurting pretty bad, to be honest." After she thanks Erasmus, she moves to the side of the wagon and starts climbing it (after "dropping" her scythe), hoping to reach the top and help take out the ballista operator. She proves herself a moderate climber .... enough to get to the top (but not attack).

    R8T13.5: Arael moves around to the north side of the wagon's bench area, but still on the ground, waiting for that armiger to fall or quit the field.

    R8T13: A6 is unable to continue holding his sword, and his sword drops down between the team of horses in front of the bench. Without a weapon, he shouts, "I yield! I yield!" and jumps down and runs away, unharried by Meijen.

    R9T11: Aldo wakes with a start. He looked about for a second, and deciding since he was not facing Pharasma nor in a dark interrogation chamber, things were clearly not as bad as they could be. After confirming that they still appeared to be on the mission, he decided to cover his fear with flippancy. "Sorry, took a little nap there. What did I miss?"

    End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

    R10T25:
    Erasmus comes around from the back of the wagon, taking out his bolas, and getting ready to attack should the armigers renege on the current truce.

    R10T18: Meijen delays, but is alert for any shenanigans.

    R10T17: A1 goes over by A5 and the unconscious Shanwen.

    R10T14: Tia, what do you do? Do you answer Aldo? Do something else?

    R10T11: Aldo smirked, though it lacked his usual finesse. "Sounds like a plan. I could use a drink to toast our imminent success." He then did a hang-jump down from the carriage.

    End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

    R11T25: Erasmus says, "Everyone to the horses. Folco, you can't sit there. Gabby - none of us in fact - are good at teaming horses, so she can really only deal with one horse at a time. The one she's riding." He then sets off to the horses.

    Tia begins her climb up the side of the church. Kavina is in awe of her climbing skill - being able to move twice as fast as a normal climber while still being relatively stealthy. I say relatively, because to Kavina's sharp fox ears, she does hear Tia ascend. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to the two Children, so does somebody else. From the middle landing a head pops out and shoots a bolt at Tia, but missing by a fair margin. In Infernal, the woman at the middle landing with the crossbow hisses up, <"Leopardo, we got a climber! Ring it!">

    The bell begins to toll.

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T20: Tia is struck silent at the fact that she has already been seen. She continues up to get herself on the landing, so that she can try and take down the one who caught her quickly. She has to go around a corner and scuttle in from the side, for going directly up she would be blocked by the female tiefling at the mid-point landing. She summons her scythe and cuts into her left elbow for 10. She screams, falls out of the tower to the ground below, right next to Kavina, taking another 5 for the impact, her crossbow lying next to her unmoving form.

    R1T17: Aldo swore under his breath. things were starting to fall apart, but he wasn't in a position to run, so he decided the best thing to do was advance, hoping to make as small a target for himself as possible. He moves forward a total of 20' (now 55' from the belltower), and he still can't tell if it was Tia that fell or not.

    R1T15: Flycatcher, you are 75' from the belltower, which is well outside any part of what the sunrod can illuminate. You can still see Aldo moving stealthily in the normal light, but that is because you were aware of him and directly observing him. What do you do?
