Pyior sees the pounding that Pyrithanis takes and tries to hurry after the sibbecai. [ooc - Pyrithanis' move is double Pyior's, so it'll take a couple rounds to catch him.]
Khajom, satisfied that Pyior has not yet been targeted by the ambushers, hurries after Pyrithanis and Danwyn toward the blinds.
Dayan [in absentia] will charge toward the blinds right behind Khajom, mind blade at the ready.
Danwyn is close enough to the blinds to strike at one of the sword-wielding ambushers. He swings hard at the grungy man, but his blow is batted aside. [roll (7+4=11, miss)]
Pyrithanis, in spite of two arrow wounds, presses his attack. He engages the other swordsman so that Danwyn cannot be easily flanked. He slashes upward, taking the ambusher in the side of the rib cage. [roll (15+3=18, hit; dmg 3+3=6)] The ambusher, also a rough-looking human, blanches at the pain.
[ooc - back to the top with Ys-Baddaden. New initiative order after Khajom's delayed action:

Danwyn continues batteling the man.

What this book presupposes is -- maybe he didn't?
Khajom continues to close on the attackers, moving towards a position that would flank one of them, if possible. If he can get close enough, he'll pound one of them with a closed paw.

Ys-Baddaden (presumably dropping the crossbow), starts running toward the melee, drawing his morningstar. [ooc - you'll be close enough to attack next round]
The ambushers are starting to look a bit nervous. Their barrage of arrows has wounded one and grazed another, but no one has fallen yet. That leaves them outnumbered and quickly losing the advantage of cover.
One of the ambushers attacks Pirythanis with a longsword. He swings wildly at the sibbecai, who almost casually bats it aside. [roll (9, miss)]
On the other side of the road, another thug attacks Danwyn. The attack is quick and solid, but Danwyn's reflexes allow him to redirect it so that it merely glaces off his chain armor. [roll (17, miss)]
The two remaining ambushers, one on either side of the road, still have bows ready. Neither looks confident enough to fire into the melee raging beside them, so instead they fire at those still charging. One fires at Dayan and misses by scant inches. [roll (10, miss)] The other fires at Ys-Baddaden and hits again. [roll (17, hit; dmg 4)] Both of the bow-wielding ambushers drop their bows and pick up longswords...fully preparing for melee.
Pyior continues to hurry forward, relieved to see that Pirythanis hasn't been further injured. [ooc - next round you'll be close enough to heal]
Khajom races around the side of the right blind as the melee on the road is a bit crowded. He punches the ambusher who just shot Ys-Baddaden and lands a crunching blow in the windpipe. [roll (17+1=18, hit; dmg 5+1=6)] The man drops his sword and collapses. Khajom briefly notes that this man already was the one who'd been hit by Ys-Baddaden's crossbow bolt.
[ooc - I'll give Dayan a chance to chime in on his character. Haven't heard from him for a while now. If he doesn't post by the morning, I'll finish out the rest of this round.]

Dayan [in absentia] circles around the blind on the left side of the road, coming up on the last ambusher to draw his sword. The witch swings his mind blade, but misses as his opponent jumps aside. [roll (9+0=9, miss)]
Danwyn presses the attack with his foe. A series of quick cuts foils the inferior foe's defenses and Danwyn's sword cuts deep into his gut. [roll (15+4=19, hit; dmg 7+3=10)] The ambusher drops his blade and crumbles unconscious in the long grass.
At Danwyn's back, Pirythanis likewise presses his attack. The ambusher, increasingly frantic, manages to parry Pirythanis' attack. [roll (10+3=13, miss)]
Ys-Baddaden hurries around the blind. He steps past Khajom, briefly noting the fallen ambusher, and moves to flank Pirythanis' foe. The thug, so focused on Pirythanis, fails to note the incoming attack. Ys-Baddaden's morningstar crunches into his back, dropping the thug instantly. [roll (19+4+2=25, hit; dmg 7+4=11)]
The only ambusher still standing is hedged in between Dayan and Danwyn. Having seen his three companions drop in a span of seconds, he throws his sword down. "Show mercy, I beg you!" he cries pathetically.
As the ambusher begs for surrender, Pyior is able to catch up to Pirythanis and place a hand on the wounded sibbecai. A dim greenish-white light spreads over Pirythanis and then back up Pyior's arm. [roll (4+1=5 hp's healed; 3 subdual taken)]

While the rest decide what to do with the prisoner, Pyior hesitates a moment, evaluating how wounded Ys-Baddaden and Pirythanis both are. He then steps up to Ys-Baddaden and uses his second first level slot to cast Transfer Wounds (Lesser) on Ys-Baddaden.
OOC: Shouldn't that be 2 subdual damage, rounded down from half of 5?
