    Draegra will follow Steingott outside to the porch.

    What does everyone else do?

    Norton places his familiar back into his pouch, having been petting it while thinking to himself, allowing the others to do their thing without crowding. Now that people are seemingly leaving, he prepares himself to go with them.
    Kitten: *bats around a mini a few times*
    DM: "Ok, it looks like Fluffy...err, 'The Tarrasque'...Full Attacks the Cleric"
    Cleric: "Full attack my a**, that was just two claw attacks!"
    Kitten: *starts gnawing on the mini*
    Cleric: "...nevermind."

    Zada gives the doctor one last talking to. "You'd best isolate him. I'll be here in the morning to see if I can help, but I fear we may already be too late." They then turned to meet the others.

    "Actually, hold on," says Dr. Habe, thinking for a moment. "Let me oversee Grayst in isolation, but wait here a few minutes. I think I might have something that will help you in your own search."

    And with that, Dr. Habe will go with the two orderlies and Grayst's unconscious form upstairs.

    Alvor steps out onto the veranda to retrieve his spear and relay Habe's offer to those already outside. While they wait, he turns to Draegra, "Were you able to finish writing down what Grayst said in there?"

    Inside, Martin and Zada are still there waiting for Dr. Habe to return with whatever it was he was going to say or give ...
    Spoiler: Zada and Martin
    Show
    A few minutes goes by, with one of the orderlies giving a short nod to Martin and Zada (who are still inside, waiting for Dr. Habe to return per his request). That orderly then goes to the door to the SW (the door SE heads upstairs) to run and errand.

    A minute later, the other orderly comes downstairs and says, "Hey, if you care, the patient is sedated, and locked down with leather and metal. I don't know if the doc can heal someone like that, but he ain't getting out to do nobody any harm."

    The other orderly finishes whatever errand was below and the two meet right by Martin and Zada. They talk about something related to resetting shifts. Right in front of Zada and Martin, it seems off. Zada notices that someting is off, but Martin, who is more about watching an environment more than the people in it, is oblivious.

    Surprise Round ...

    S16: "Red" orderly does a throat punch to Martin, totally surprising him and doing 11 (real, by the way).

    S6: Zada, you see "Blue" a hair's breadth from doing the same to you, but you managed to take stock of the situation before you could be ambushed by him.
    Spoiler: Zada
    Show
    This is a surprise round, so MA or SA only (along with any FA or SwA may have).

    Seeing Steingott rush back inside and Norton follow suit, Al turns a puzzled glance towards Draegra -- "The hells is he talking about?" -- before hurrying inside himself. Once and if the growing clash comes into view and he sees orderlies attacking Martin and Zada, his temper flares, and through gritted teeth he mutters, "That weaselly sh*t!"

    Spear and shield readied to defend himself and his companions, Al wades into the melee (or as near to it as he is able).

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    Move + Standard actions: Al will use two move actions to move as close to the battle as 40 feet of movement will allow him. His chosen end position, in order of preference, is as follows:

    1. Adjacent to a threatened ally and 10-feet away from the nearest enemy/enemies.
    2. Adjacent to a threatened ally and adjacent to the nearest enemy/enemies.
    3. Adjacent to an unthreatened ally and 10-feet away from the nearest enemy/enemies.
    4. 10-feet away from the nearest enemy/enemies but not adjacent to an ally.
    5. Adjacent to a threatened ally but not within 10-feet of an enemy.
    6. As close to a threatened ally as possible.

    If 40 feet of movement does not allow him to reach any of positions #1 through #5, he will use his swift action to expend Hastened Leap for another 20 feet of movement. Only if Hastened Leap does not allow him to reach any of positions #1 through #5 will he then will he select position #6.

    In the event he is able to reach one of positions #1 through #5 without Hastened Leap, Al will instead use his swift action to adopt the Piercing Thunder Style and the Vigilant Keeper's Stance (both are done simultaneously via Fuse Styles).

    If Al uses Hastened Leap, he will not use an immediate action before his next turn. But if he was able to use Fuse Styles, he will use, at the first possible opportunity, either Warning Roar to defend an ally who is attacked, or Oaken Shield to defend himself, depending on whether he or an ally is attacked first.

    Spoiler: Warning Roar, if necessary

    R1T7: Zada takes a good hard look at the orderly and the patient before their stance changed into a much more defensive one, their mind blade extending into a spear as they stabbed it at the orderly that attacked Martin. The mind blade spear cuts across the orderly overcoat to reveal studded leather armor. Meanwhile, Zada doesn't have a good sense of analysis about her opponent.

    R1T6-5: Another patient shambles up to Martin. The other orderly (blue) steps up to Zada but doesn't attack her. Instead, with Martin flanked he takes a cheap shot. Luckily, Martin's armor holds to protect him.

    R1T4.5: Draegra runs into the room with the others.

    R1T4: A raven flies in very close to Martin, who in turn punches it for 8. Still, the little raven is undeterred as it pecks at Martin. But it doesn't seem to hurt like a forceful peck. And yet, dark energy rolls off of its beak into Martin.

    R1T3-1: Another two patients shamble into the room. Finally, a robed figure not in patient garb strolls in and up to the northern wall of the SE portion of the room. He casts a spell on himself. In addition, there is a strange, bleary-eye effect one has one trying to look at him.

    Norton was hesitant before. He didn't want to attack people with his weapon who were just crazy, but now he's sure it's not a problem. He focuses his energies towards his feet, and then lurches out in a surprising burst of speed, drawing his weapon as he approaches one of the remaining foes and thrusts his Rapier into it.

    R2T20: Norton was hesitant before. He didn't want to attack people with his weapon who were just crazy, but now he's sure it's not a problem. He focuses his energies towards his feet, and then lurches out in a surprising burst of speed, drawing his weapon as he approaches one of the remaining foes and thrusts his rapier into it. His rapier lands right at the low part of the side of his abdomen, right above the hip bone, for 11.

    R2T18: Martin gets clipped in the side of the head for 5 (the others saw Brown smack him with a fist).

    R2T16: Red orderly does some distracting noises with his footwork. Martin's senses lag just behind in tracking his assailant's intentions, and is paid for his lack of non-visual senses by getting punched in the chest for 13. It was a damn cheap shot.

    R2T9: Then the much larger bat-like creature rushes past Norton's warding rapier to attack him, but Norton pulls his rapier back from reach to deflect just in time.

    R2T8: Alvor, what do you do?

    Alvor takes measure of the numerous threats advancing from the far end of the room, trying not to be distracted by the fact that Steingott just pulled a block of stone from nowhere, or that Norton just rushed past him with inhuman speed.

    Recognizing Martin's vulnerability, Al glances back at Draegra. "I think Martin's in trouble. Can you help him?" As he moves to meet the nearest threats, he calls out to the hunter, "Martin, back up if you need to. I'll try to keep 'em busy!"

    Stepping into the gap between Zada and Norton, he thrusts his three-pointed spear towards the armored orderly, hoping to create an opening for Zada to do the same. Even after the strike, his spear remains in motion, a persistent obstacle to any opportunistic foe.

    Retroactive Swift Action from Round 1: Al uses Fuse Styles to enter Piercing Thunder Style and Valiant Keeper's Stance. Allies can move through his threatened area without provoking attacks of opportunity.




    Swift Action: Al uses the Pride Movement boost to grant a move action to Draegra. He may immediately move up to his base speed as a free action.

    Move Action: Al moves 3 squares south, and then 1 square southwest.

    Standard Action: Al uses the Hunting Party strike against the red orderly, granting Zada an attack of opportunity vs. the orderly if the strike hits.
    Attack: (d20+8)[27]
    Damage: (2d4+4)[9]

    Free Action: If Al does at least 1 damage to the orderly, he will mark the orderly with Armiger's Mark.

    Any attacks of opportunity that Al is able to take will be taken normally with the exception that, if Martin does retreat to the north, and if a humanoid enemy provokes by moving into the square Martin left, Al will attempt to hamstring them.
    Spoiler: Hamstring attempt, if necessary
    Show
    (d20+10)[23]

    In the event that Hunting Party did not deal damage to the red orderly, if Al is able to damage the orderly with an attack of opportunity, he will mark the orderly with Armiger's Mark. Additionally, if he is able to deal damage to the smaller bat with an attack of opportunity, he will mark the smaller bat with Armiger's Mark.

    With respect to possible counters, Al will use Warning Roar against the first attack made against Martin, or Enduring Shell in the event Al is required to make a Fortitude save, whichever comes first.
    Spoiler: Diplomacy check, if necessary

    [16] if the roll made last round should be carried forward, (d20+11)[14] if not

    Recognizing Martin's vulnerability, Al glances back at Draegra. "I think Martin's in trouble. Can you help him?" Draegra nods, and crosses to the other side of the room. As Al moves to meet the nearest threats, he calls out to the hunter, "Martin, back up if you need to. I'll try to keep 'em busy!"

    Stepping into the gap between Zada and Norton, he thrusts his three-pointed spear towards the armored orderly, hitting him deep in his right upper leg (9), creating an opening for Zada to do the same. Zada stabs him in the lower right arm as he falls (6). Even after the strike, his spear remains in motion, a persistent obstacle to any opportunistic foe.

    R2T7: Zada, what do you do?

    Zada thrusts their mind blade at the small bat; if it could blind people, it's best to take it out before it could get another of their allies.

    R2T7: Zada thrusts their mind blade at the small bat; if it could blind people, it's best to take it out before it could get another of their allies. The thrust lands true for 7, but the bird still flies.

    R2T6: Green swings at Martin, missing.

    R2T4.5: Draegra comes up behind Martin. "Martin, it's Draegra. I'm going to move you. Don't resist." He doesn't move him far, just between him and Zada. But Martin does feel the table at his hip behind him.

    R2T4: The raven withdraws to the man standing in the back.

    R2T3-1: Purple patient stumbles forward, but moves so awkwardly he doesn't attack as well. Yellow likewise closes in the same jerky gait. Alvor stabs her in the neck, and yet she only takes 3 mod, as Al sees that her skin is toughened and that despite that resilience there is a terrible smell emanating from her. Zada likewise tries to stab her, but can't push their spear past the thick hide. She then stands over the fallen orderly the ordeal of getting there too much to allow her to attack. The robed man that the raven is now flying above doesn't seem to cast a spell, and yet, arcane sigils of light seem to appear and float around him for a second or two. Alvor feels some strange force act upon his mind, but he's confident he shrugged it off.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T26:
    Martin, you are blind right now. You feel the table to your relative north. What do you do?
