Previously, in Round 4
Ashnar double moves to G3.
Dioran begins casting.
Round 5 Continues
Ashnar's alchemist's fire deals 3 damage to X6 and 1 point of damage to X5 and X8.
Nezrak misses.
Rinaldo, still in disguise, startles the enemy leaders with his apparent change of loyalties. With a well place stab, he drops L2 to the floor.
L1 circles around Rinaldo,
striking at him but missing.
Elathin Mirnot steps in toward Rinaldo, flanking with his lieutenant. Even with this advantage, he
misses the quick footed merchant.
Dioran completes his casting of Summon Monster 1. Looking around for the best place to put his monster, he causes
a Celestial Giant Fire Beatle to appear in P9 (taking some liberty here, as location not specified.)
The summoned Beatle moves to N11 and attacks X4,
taking him down.
Sara moves under the guard tower with a move action. From this position, it would be difficult for the crossbowman to shoot at her. To do so, he would need to open the trap door at the top of the ladder. (Double checked it, sheathing a weapon is a move action that provokes an AOO, not that Sara is currently being threatened. No exceptions seem to apply. KB can still post the rest of her action for round 5.)
Round 6 Begins
Tenebrynn gulps a healing potion. Taking 1 point of damage from exertion while at 0 hp, he is now at 7 hp.
Stepping out of range of the Pikes, Charlarn further heals him, bringing him to 16 hp.
Recognizing the Bandit Leader from the poster, Iggy takes aim and fires at him. He hits him for 5 points with his crossbow.
The five crossbowmen fire at Charlarn, all but one miss. Charlarn takes 7 damage. X5 curses in disgust at missing again, throws down his crossbow and runs for it. After a bare moment's hesitation, the rest follow suit. X2, apparently desperate to keep up with his comrades in their retreat, jumps out of the tower. He manages to
avoid any damage from the fall.
The pikemen, seeing the crossbowmen fleeing, also elect to withdraw.
The crossbowman above Sara, seeing his comrades fleeing in his general direction, yells out to them. Seems like he's saying something about a "madwoman." His words are somewhat garbled by panic.
Elathin Mirnot yells at his men, trying to rally them, to no avail.
(Ashnar is up next.)
